The gift of having a horse trust a rider to effortlessly do what is asked, without question and full cooperation is the essence of a true partnership. Every now and then a rider is able to join a horse with a unique, unexplainable bond of complete unison, the rider atop a body so strong and powerful it feels fictitious.
I am eternally grateful for the obedience and love this horse gives me in exchange for the life I have been granted to share with him. He gives me proof that I have done some good in my life to earn a spot next to him.
For a horse who needs no added strength what a noble and generous gesture it is to have them allow any human to fly in the wind upon their back, to prance around an arena under the direction of subtle cues, and then to greet their person happily once returned to the freedom of their home pasture. Good boy, O 💙🐎❤️
Signed,
One blessed and appreciative horse loving girl
⭐️ Plank Challenge ⭐️ Week 7 ⭐️ 7 Minutes ⭐️
Another week has come and gone! This week’s challenge entailed a full 7 minute plank. Towards the end of the time I can definitely feel my body kindly asking me to stop and just collapse. As the time of the plank has increased it has certainly taken a little extra effort to maintain position, but it’s once you start digging in and working hard for something that you really begin to build something worth having. Good things don’t come easy … fit bodies included. 💪🏻
Everyone planking along with me and providing encouragement, thank you; here we all go again working on building healthy bodies and mindsets right alongside one another. Nice work everybody 🙌🏻
Be sure to check out the @oftv episode (link 👇🏼) and props to @onlyfans for giving us an amazing place to share with one another. 🥰 💜

If you’re new to my page, then check out week 1 for details on how to join the challenge and what happens once it ends. 😍
It’s easy to get distracted in life. To focus on things that shouldn’t be focused on or maybe that should have focus, but at a different, more appropriate time. A distraction could simply be described as a displacement of where active thoughts or activities belong. Sometimes I displace work with daydreams, cleaning with horseback rides, and invitations with friends to trips to the mountains to climb, but these distractions done too often and your job, your state of living, and your friendships may suffer. Other distractions can be less offensive and even welcomed.
Yesterday while I was packing I got a little distracted with some new Amazon deliveries and decided to quickly try on some new boots I have purchased for an upcoming Halloween shoot I’ll be doing. These pic resulted and maybe this distraction will be one of those more accepted types. 😏😍
I got caught looking at myself in the reflection of the patio door at the end in the bounce video … It looks like I was feeling pretty good about what I was seeing 🖤 and I thought the sparkly skeleton hands had a nice shimmer. 👻
Getting all packed up for a weekend of fun 💜🐎💜
Remember that thing I said about smiling …. time with my horses seems to have that same effect on me 😁 🐴 Happy Shelly = Fun Shelly = Happy Shelly 🐴
Smiling, laughing, and exposure to sunlight are proven to boost your mood, lower your stress, improve your health, and even prolong your life. No matter what you’re doing today take a few seconds to smile with me and the odds are in our favor that we both will have a better day. 💜
Pics are me making a valid effort to make my morning better with you….🌞😄☀️
💜 Week 6 of the plank challenge required a 6 min plank ✅
I have no idea how long I can keep this up, but looks like there will be another video next week 🙌🏻
Make sure you check out this episode on @oftv 😘

Be strong. 💪🏻 Be kind. 🤗 Be proud of your life. 🤩
Thank you to all who continue to support the cause and challenge 💜
One of the things I love about this place is that this page is my space. I can share whatever I wish could spread. The cool thing about a platform like this is that you never know who will see it. Maybe not many people, but maybe the person you’d like to see it will happen across it one day. Today I choose to quietly wish a Happy Birthday to someone who has influenced my life for the last couple decades. He has pushed me to work hard and never give up through his music, his stories, and his example of an unrelenting quest to overcome adversity making his life all that he wants it to be.
Today is his 51st birthday and I hope it’s the best one yet for him! Since it’s my space I don’t have to say his name, but those who know me well know who I’m talking about. Bonus points if you’re one of them 😘💜
🎶Come take my hand…we'll walk this road together🎵
🌟 Proof that music and words impact life 🙌🏻 Speak kindness, push others to be better, and focus on where you want to go 👆🏼
Oh, and today marks week 6 of the plank challenge … stay tuned for that update coming soon 🥰
“The pursuit IS happiness” is what my shirt says. Ever since I was a little girl I have been one to focus on goals, plans, and dreams; always working towards what I thought would make me happy. I’ve found that some of the things that I achieved didn’t keep me happy, despite some being significant, even considered prestigious to many. Recently I decided to take a step back, to re-evaluate how I want my life to look, how I want to spend my time, and what my time is worth. My pursuit will be to stop chasing titles, stop trying to prove myself to people, and to make whatever changes need to happen to live the shirt … for my pursuit (of life) to be happy. I’ve started taking steps that add value to my time, to my existence, to my short term happiness, and my long term joy.
If your pursuit isn’t happy, then maybe your pursuit wandered off in the wrong direction too. I’m not sure I have everything right, but I have set a new goal to pursue happy every chance I can. I’ve said it and I’m sharing it and I have set a goal to live it. Be sure you take time to bring your dream(s) to life…say it, share it, live it! 🙌🏻
Things that make me happy:
🦮🐴🐈⬛🦜Caring for all of my animals
🏇Riding my horses
🧗🏻♀️Rock climbing (in the gym and outside)
💪🏻Going for runs and working out
🌞Sharing positive energy
🤗Providing a source of happiness to others
😎Being a part of @onlyfans
🤩Sharing fun videos with you all on my @oftv channel
And more … but these are the ones you all should know 💜 May we all find our path to happy and spend as much time on that trail as we can. 🏔️ 😊🥰
Thank you all for being a part of my happy 😍
It’s Friday the 13th and this feels like a good time to start preparing for Halloween 🎃 I’ve been meaning to share these for a while and now seems like a fun time for a girl in black 🖤
Your unlocks give me tangible proof that you value the time and efforts I make here. More unlocks lead to more content and I have some fun October ideas 🧡🖤🧡 Thank you guys for your support 😘
Ever find yourself in the process of undressing, getting ready for bed and feeling like you want to be lazy when you should be doing your nightly run? Maybe it’s just me, but it also feels liberating to live on a farm where I can just head on outside in my undies to get that done without the need to get re-dressed. Sometimes this is what persistence looks like for me 🤭😂 Without a flash 📷 and with a flash 📸
Persistent: to continue firmly or obstinately in spite of difficulty, challenge, or opposition. To continue to endure or exist over a prolonged period of time. (Oxford dictionary) 💜
I googled to see what it said about the average time that a fit person should be able to hold a plank. I was surprised at what I found and it made me feel accomplished with how persistent I have been. 🙌🏻
Being fit requires persistence. 💪🏻
Being a good role model requires persistence. 😎
Being a kind person requires persistence with deliberate thoughts and conscious actions. 😍
I have always said that I want to be admired and desired by those around me. To gain these opinions requires persistence in everything I do. 💜
I want you all to notice me persistently working to maintain my health, fitness, relationships, interpersonal skills, and leadership qualities. I want to persistently impress, motivate, encourage, and positively influence every being I am able to impact. I want to persistently endure when times are tough and remove myself from situations that are not supportive of my presence.
I hope from what I share I mirror how persistence through working out, a persistently positive mindset, and persistently making a cognitive effort to breathe and speak kindness, I find myself as a positive influence who makes lives within my circle better and more fulfilling. I want to expel a contagious energy that will push us to all be more persistent together.
Have you been persistent with your life today? Mine is a constant work in progress, but I love my newfound persistence here. 🥰
💜 Mornings are one of my favorite times. The horses are always excited to see me for breakfast, they give me a beautiful reason to start my morning with a smile, and my chores get me warmed up for the day. Sometimes I get a little too comfortable with the privacy of my farm and this morning the feed truck 🛻 pulled in exactly during the time the last picture was snapped, 🤭whoops!! They aren’t usually that early! 🌞 It reminded me of when the FedEx guy showed up when I had on that bikini. I’m going to give myself a complex among delivery guys if I’m not more careful 😆
⭐️ Plank Challenge: Week 5, 5 Minutes ⭐️
Do the weeks feel like days when you have a deadline or something you want to have extra time to train or prepare for? Sometimes they do for me. 🤷🏼♀️
My life has become exponentially busier within the last few months, but in the best way, thanks to @onlyfans 😘 I am loving the extra fun, excitement, and enhancements to my life that this place has provided to date.
Have I mentioned my other goals lately, outside of the plank challenge, for why I’m here? I want you all to see me for a girl who pushes herself to be better physically, but also as a source of kindness and motivation to others. Motivation to build strength in your fitness and in your ability to share and exploit kindness, generosity, and love for the world we share. Admittedly my posts zone in on and portray the best things and parts of my life. In reality my life is just as complicated and messy as the next, but I try to make conscious daily efforts to be kind, strong, motivational, and to build myself in the areas that will lead to positive progression in my life and in the lives of all I contact. If everyone made conscious decisions to work on their attitude, outlook on life, and treatment towards others, people and animals, as much as they try to focus on and at least consider with regard to their fitness, then what a wonderful place to live we could all have.
Here’s to another week of the plank challenge and cheers to the underlying goal. Let’s keep building up each other and never lose sight of why we are here and what we aim to achieve. Go Team Shelly! 💜🥰 Let’s make our lives better for being here while we are here.
The latest plank video is here and on my @oftv channel! Be sure to check out week 1 for details on how this started and to be in the game.
It’s Friday!! I’m sure I’m not the only dreamer here. Astro is already over 6 months old! The dreams I have with him fuel me with purpose wanting to help give him the foundation he needs to be the best he can be one day. Most colts are gelded around this age if they aren’t going to be used for breeding. Some horse shows and certain classes won’t even allow stallions in the ring so it makes sense for a lot of show horses to be “cut” or gelded when they are still small enough to recover quickly and with less incidence of complications. I’m not sure yet if he will be used for breeding, but he’s special enough and with nice enough lineage that I’m not taking away this opportunity for him just yet 💜
Dreaming about my horses isn’t the only kind of dreaming I’ve been doing. You all and this place keeps me smiling, brightens the sparkle in my eye, and makes me want to continue to be a positive, uplifting force of existence in all of your lives. I hope you all find something wonderful to dream about with me today 💜
Ever have one of those days that just won’t seem to end. You get a little behind and then you start working seemingly harder to catch up, but you just can’t. 😆 Once you finally find yourself able to wind down you just want a quiet little corner and a glass of wine… that pretty much sums up how my day went yesterday.
Pics are just me in my little corner…relaxing in my undies at the end of a long day. Taking some time to think about how to be in all my happy places more than the stressful ones. It felt like I lost yesterday to time doing things that weren’t what I wanted to be doing. It’s hard making changes and getting out of old routines, but none of us are getting less old so now has to be the time to try form new patterns. 💜
Consciously deciding that today will be better! 🥰
⭐️ Plank Challenge: Week 4, 4 Minutes ⭐️
Do you think I made it another week?! I can feel myself working harder, but building strength. I hope you guys are all working hard too, or at least enjoying watching me work hard for you 🙌🏻
Fun fact … there are some crazy-elite athletes who can do this for hours 😳 Here I am feeling all accomplished that I’m adding a whole minute a week, 😆 but you have to start somewhere, right?! One minute at a time and who knows when we might stop 💪🏻
Tipping this week’s plank challenge video (along with the previous weekly plank posts) keeps you in the plank challenge game. If you haven’t watched week 1 to learn about what’s going on, then take a few minutes to get in the loop by finding it in an earlier post 💜😘🥰
Forever thankful for my work ethic that enabled me to earn what I have, for my stubbornness that kept me on track when things felt impossible, for my grit that kept me from believing those who said I couldn’t, and for @onlyfans who provides a platform of support for me to continue to climb higher in life. 😘
#mondaymotivation, Thank y’all 💜
The night is still here, but morning isn’t far away. Most nights I find myself working tirelessly to make something more of myself. I am proud of what I am building and hope the hard work is visible to all who take the time to look. 🥰
Clips from my nighttime routine tonight should make the cut for an @oftv episode, but these pics of the final plank will just have to stay here. 🤭💪🏻🙌🏻
Unlock to support and see a girl working hard … the price is for those views from behind as the positioning starts to happen for proper plank form. 🤩 Hopefully this post helps inspire others to work on some hard things too. 🤭😉
And be sure to keep following my plank challenge 💜 Week 4 is coming soon! 😘
The plank challenge continues! Week 3 required 3 minutes of planking for you all. With music in my ears it seemed to go a little easier than last week and didn’t feel too bad 🙌🏻 I appreciate everyone who is participating and I love seeing everyone’s numbers improve. You all are giving me motivation too! 🥰 Go Team Shelly! 💪🏻😘
Don’t forget to tip to stay in the game 💜 and if any tippers have any creative reward ideas you can send them to me in my messages. Any ideas (within my boundaries) will be considered. 😉 I want this to be a success so that when this challenge ends, we will all want to do it again with a new challenge! 😍
💕Just for a little fun on this Sunday night … you can watch it with or without the blur 😉😘 Either way you can see some girl muscles at work 💪🏻
I might be back home, but I still have a lot of Alaska trip content to share 🏔️💜
For the last evening of the cruise I asked for help deciding which of my last dresses to wear. The white dress with gold accents won the most votes 🤍 Thanks to everyone who helped me decide and for helping make my vacation extra special and unforgettable.
The inside passage headed to Vancouver was a picture perfect backdrop at sunset. Unlock to see a glimpse of my evening…these short dresses have shown me I really need to practice more ladylike etiquette at the dinner table 🤭 And this phone following me around was pretty sneaky at times 😏💜
A little review of some of the cruise 🥰 Video is the second night’s champagne dinner dress. Pictures to unlock are from the first evening gown night, but after the gown came off (same undies/pasties as video from that night) and inside the cabin.
Every now and then when you feel eyes on your body it’s nice to just enjoy the attention. 😍 Pull your shoulders back, hold your head up, and smile at the onlookers. Feels a little empowering to look good and know it. I think this is ok as long as you stay humble and kind. 💜
