I have no idea how that dog hair got onto the condo's furniture 🤷🏼♀️🤫💜
This vacation could only be better if Haley and Janie could have come too. BUT, Haley isn't exactly stanger friendly and Janie is a nervous wreck when she leaves the farm. The only other way would be if my O was here for a ride across the beach 🏝️ 🐎💭
Many people find that by keeping their surroundings clean they feel less anxious, emit a more pleasant mood, they feel more content to relax, and even enhance their long term health secondary to reduced stress. Since a healthy lifestyle and stress management are huge priorities for me I thought I should clean my condo room up a little. Honestly, I don't have too much longer before I have to pack up and head home, but I'll be able to savor the last bit of my visit more thoroughly by keeping my space tidy and organized. 🤍😏🖤
Tucking in the bedspread at the footboard reminded me of the string tucked between my legs 🤭
Getting ready for another day of fun in the sun ☀️ 💕
Today is going to be pink! 👙 🏖️
You can swipe to see the before and afters of some beach photos ... 💁🏼♀️ 🩲 🤭

Good morning, sunshine ☀️ 🌊
In a commmercialized area I think it feels a lot more private to get out during the early morning hours. You can get ahead of the crowd by being the first on the beach. It's during the silence of the morning that you'll see the most wildlife, be able to focus on the sound of the waves, and witness a spectrum of colors highlighted by the rising sun on one side and the moon on the other, before the intense sunshine will dilute out the subtle colors of the early morning.
Sometimes the softest and quiet parts of life radiate the most energizing beams. 💜
I think I should make a PSA that you guys have all made me feel so special with all of the extra likes on each of my posts, photos, and for all of the message love since I made it back. 💜 🫶🏻
Thank y'all for helping "me live that fantasy.." 🎶🥰👸🏼
I’m a day late, but it’s worth mentioning yesterday, September 15, was National Day of the Cowgirl! 🤠
I’ve never considered myself a “cowgirl” since I don’t work cattle with my horses, but I found a more modernized definition that I proudly strive to embody. 💜🐎💜
“To be a true cowgirl is to demonstrate love openly; give encouragement and take criticism; be a shoulder to lean on; catch others when they fall; give all you can give; be humble, helpful, and honest; be truthful but kind; be a leader; be strong but sensitive; be a role model for the here-and-now as well as for the future of society; and be a human with compassion, concern, and care.”
Cowgirl at heart. 🫶🏻🏇🥰
Scroll for that moment when your horse finally gets to let his hair down after a long weekend of showing 😆
💜🐎💜
It’s Saturday 🙌🏻
….And starting to feel a lot like Fall. 🍂
This time of year is bittersweet for me. The cool weather feels amazing after a hot, dry summer. Lower temperatures and decreased humidity makes for ideal outdoor climbing weather. Lastly, winter presents the best opportunities to see the northern lights with prolonged darkness to allow for star gazing. 🧗🏻♀️🌟
Winter also means a cold Shelly, frozen water troughs, and the added chores of blanketing horses, feeding hay, and managing mud. 🥶🙃
I’ve also been contemplating what to be for Halloween 🤔👻…
How are you spending your Saturday? Hopefully with me for at least a few minutes. 💁🏼♀️😏🥰
Astro is 1.5 years old! It doesn’t seem like it’s been 18 months since Roxy dropped him, but here we are! 🥰
Only another 6 months or so and his training will begin to include some (light) under saddle work. 🏇
Looking forward to the day I get to swing a leg over him! 🦵🏼💜🐴
Guess what today is? 🧐😀
National Day of Encouragement!!
Y’all should know I’d be all over this … just think about how much more wonderful the world could be if we shared messages of encouragement with each other every single day! If we can train ourselves to consciously share uplifting words to at least one other person a day, what a way to impact our being. We all are … right here … right now… and we can be more than just “being.” We can be encouraging! This implemented behavior can lead to all sorts of other satisfying things while positively influencing your day and those you sprinkle with meaningful affirmations.
You know I don’t want anyone to ever feel pressured to unlock my posts, but if you want to encourage me by watching me bounce around this morning while sharing my enthusiasm for this idea… well, then I’ll be very thankful … and encouraged to maintain my focus. 🧘🏻♀️ The sheer fabric of my top “encouraged” some leniency in the privacy of some of my endowments.💜🥰😘
“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.”

Never Forget.
Instead of a morning video on the porch I made a late night video. I don’t think it is news to anyone who has been around any length of time on my page, but I LOVE looking at the sky on a clear night. There are so many stars that I can always recognize and rely on to be glowing for me overhead. Even when I can’t see them because of cloud cover, I know they are still twinkling in their spots up there amongst a galaxy of unknown. I’ll never get to see them up close or touch them, but I’m still comforted by their presence, mesmerized by how they decorate a cloak of darkness, and I am encouraged by their persistent twinkle.
The video doesn’t really pertain to stars at all … it’s just me rambling again about after hours intricacies of my life before heading to bed. 🤭 Did I mention I start out in a dress, but I don’t go to bed in it … I just wanted to sort out some of my newer things to share. 🩲👗👠
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The best chance you have to attract the things you love is by showing them love.
Don’t waste an opportunity to share that side of yourself when you’re able. You and those that matter most to you will be better off for it.
The sun is coming up on another luminous day. 🌞 Not only am I digging down for moxie to be a better equestrian, but I’m making a point to focus on what a wonderful day I can and will have with O. 🐎💜
Today’s reminder is to start your morning with gratitude and a positive outlook on what YOU do have.
The trailer bed is cozy and comfortable with the sun shining in on me in my pink. Considering you guys on the other side tempts me to keep lying around with you, but O also gives me a very real and fine reason to get out there and ride along this journey. 💖
Just wrapped up a looong day of horse showing and I am winding down by reviewing some photos from throughout the day. I’ve always heard if you’re nervous about getting in front of people to just imagine everyone around you in their underwear. Well, I didn’t get that nervous, but I was thinking that I could help you guys out with providing some example photos of how that would have looked for me today.
Unlock to see what I looked like minus my show belt, breeches, socks and shirt. 😏🤭
Most of the time I’ll start my days at a horse show in something that I don’t mind getting dirty. Some riders have helpers who do their dirty work for them, but I’ve always loved the horse care just as much and sometimes more than the actual horseback riding. I am also fully aware that I’m a control freak who likes to clean her stalls the way I like them cleaned. 🤷🏼♀️🙈
Step inside the horse trailer with me if you want to see a little bit of me getting into one of my typical show outfits.
💜💖🏇🖤🤍
O stuck his tongue out at you guys 😛
Shelly “Rock” 💪🏻😝
Come on, everything really does feel better with a smile.
The world can make a person reluctant to speak, but her eyes cannot be silenced.
2024-09-03 10:01:07 +0000 UTC View PostI spent my morning with one of my favorite creatures. He’s tall, dark, handsome, and makes me feel like I can fly.
Today, O and I worked on walk to canter departs, then did a little jumping through a grid. A grid consists of a series of fences spaced for ideal stride lengths. Usually horses enter the grid and take the first fence at a trot, then canter through and away from the remaining obstacles. While grids can be done different ways it’s common to allow 1 full canter stride between each jump. The jumps grow in height and can consist of as many elements as you’d like or as space will allow.
Exercising over grids can help train or refresh horses on finding ideal take off distances and helps contain them between fences to encourage a proper stride length between the fences. These techniques carry over into jumping courses where take off, pace, and stride length become vital for jumping clear courses and gaining necessary points for clean jumping in hunter classes. A horse who gets too deep or takes off too soon in front of a fence may cause dropped rails. It can also be nearly impossible to hold a steady pace when a poor jump distance soils the fluidity of a course.
For those who are curious, an average sized horse has a working canter stride length of around 10 feet. Most horses will take off about 4-5’ in front of a jump and land about the same distance away from the base on the other side. As the jumps grow in size the take off and landing will become slightly further from the base of the fence.
This means the first fence and second fence of a grid should be roughly 18’ feet apart. The second fence about 20’ and the third about 24’ from the second. In this snippet I had already removed the trot poles in front of the fence and only had 2 elements up, but you get the idea.
Since the trot is a 2-beat gait the trot rails are placed 4-4.5’ apart and the final rail in front of fence 1 should be 10’ from the base. This setup gives your horse the correct footing to help them find all the best places for a smooth and fun jumping partnership between horse and rider. 💜🏇💜
I like to build a grid before shows and/or when I feel like my eyes or my horses eyes just aren’t finding ourselves where we want to be in front of fences.
Ever type something really long (that you put a lot of thought and time into) and then accidentally delete it? I know I’m not alone in this… 🙄
In summary, I pretty much said that I hate how we can’t control everything. I talked about how sometimes things might feel one way, but a situation was completely different from what we thought. Next, I rambled about how I felt like life cheated me out of several weeks here. I reviewed numerous ideas I had about what I had planned to share, achievements I wanted to accumulate, accolades I desired to add to my life … but none of it got to happen. I couldn’t control the course of events that whisked me away. Sure some of them had to do with me and it could be argued that my decisions alone lead to the cascading effect that ensued, but it wasn’t one thing that I did that could be undone or one thing that caused the absence. Anyways….I ended the (accidentally) deleted text with another thank you to all who stuck around. It feels nice to be welcomed back, offered support, encouragement, and to have been missed. Even women who claim to be independent and strong thrive on receiving feelings of desire and admiration. 🥰
I can’t control or predict every upcoming storm in life, but I can eventually control my reactions, my thoughts, my expressions, my internalizing, my reflections, and then my actions.
It felt odd to make this video today (scratch that, this was yesterday and I just couldn’t click post🤷🏼♀️), but I still wanted to do it. I was a little hesitant, maybe embarrassed even. It reminds me of how getting back in the saddle after you’ve been thrown off feels; knowing you really should get back on the horse, but cautiously, as to not repeat the situation.
Well, for those of you who missed my panty porch time.. here you go. 🏇🤷🏼♀️💜 It’s nothing exciting really … just a little bit of me and a snippet of the day (in my panties). Nothing fancy, just a clip of another girl trying to do life.
And now, I’m off to ride 🐎 because “no time spent in the saddle is ever wasted.”
Wild hearts can’t be broken ….

It’s not a good look to show up someplace with nothing positive to share and/or without a smile. I suppose it would be fair to say that I take the old saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all,” to heart. Maybe I take a lot of things way too seriously, but it is what it is and I am who I am.
I didn’t mean for my absence to cause anyone to worry over me nor did I plan to be absent, but life can kind of swoop any of us away if we let it. Our human brains can suddenly drive us directions that we never intended to explore, or park us in our tracks.
Conversations of such may not be best suited for this environment, but here I am… I’m ok and I’m climbing on. 🧗🏻♀️ For those who have stuck around, thank you for being here. For any who left and made or will make it back, thanks for checking back in. I don’t deserve the patience or grace I’m given by many, but I’m only human and I appreciate it. I’ve never been shy to admit that this is a hard place to exist.
No matter the story that’s told through the parts we share, there is always segments withheld, too private, too personal, too much to publicly declare. Despite what we feel, and the shields we wield to guard ourselves (and those we care about), we can still be wounded in life. Fortunately, there is a kind of healing magic that our bodies were gifted with, mix it with a little time, get out for a climb, then ride a horse, and hug your dog. Eventually the sun will shine again and while yesterday’s concerns might never disappear, they will at least fade into a backdrop. Our experiences will continue to give us just that: experience.
☀️🐴 🦮 ⛰️ 🪄
I’m going to step out of this puddle now before it gets any deeper … 😉🌊
I appreciate every single message and every single one of you who has shown me virtual love and support, which continued steadfast over the last 47 days while I wasn’t engaged here. Thank you. 💜🤗
Oh, and I have a lot of messages to reply to so please give me a little more patience …🙈🤷🏼♀️💖🤦🏼♀️
💗Weekly Plank Challenge: Week 44, 25.5 Minutes💙
Once I decided to plank at home this week I walked onto my back porch and the summer sunset had shades of hot pink highlighting the most perfect hue of a true “sky blue.” Of course, I wanted to capture the colors in my video, but I was too slow. By the time I had video rolling 🎥 the colors had faded. 🫥
I have days like that .. exquisitely beautiful, but moving so fast that I can’t seem to grasp the moment or stop to really absorb the magnificent essence of the day. I feel incapable of making the absolute most of it and by the time I can finally focus my attention on the sweet reality of what was, it has sometimes already expended its energy, evaporated into the past.
Similarly, I sometimes intend to work out, but then I’m exhausted and sleep prevails. Fortunately, for most of us, we will have another day (tomorrow) to try again, another opportunity to savor the sweet parts of life, and we will all likely have many more spectacular sunsets available to be seen, if we will just take the time to look.
✌🏼 🕊️ 🌅 💜💪🏻
It’s a great day to make time to work on a goal. Even if you only have a few minutes it can be worth taking time to focus on a strategy. I’ve been wanting to find more time to climb, but it’s easy to skip out on climbing after I’ve spent a large portion of my free time running, planking, and/or riding. In an effort to maintain my tendon strength I’m looking to re-commit just 10-15 minutes if that’s all I have to give, but I know that those few minutes can be spent making and maintaining my climbing fitness and that matters to me. 💜 If you’re stretched for time, then don’t worry about finding a large chunk of unclaimed time because just a few minutes is all you really need to change your day and help your body. 💪🏻🧗🏻♀️⏰
You have to keep watering the roots if you want to grow. 🧗🏻♀️… but don’t let them get soggy 🤔 it’s a fine line to walk along this thing called life. 💜
It’s one of those days that I can’t keep up with … it just keeps rolling, rolling, rolling 😆
If you watched the first video from today and wondered about the “daily” video… well, the day isn’t over and here it is. 💜🥰
Have you wondered what the inside of my horse trailer looks like? No need to wonder any longer. 🐎 Feel free to laugh with me about my mattress experience. I wasn’t laughing the day that happened, but I do laugh about it now. 🤣
💜🐴💜

As one of many, @onlyfanscreators, I do want to keep my page engaging, interesting, sexy, fun, informative, and inspirational. It takes a lot of time and energy to sift through my ideas and settle on what gets shared and what gets deleted from my phone. Of course, I have the power to choose what I show and do for everyone, but I want to up the game. Give a little more insight into some of the time and work it takes to be here… hopefully my sharing will pique more interest and my existence will shine just a little brighter here. I’ve felt so much support and found so many valuable connections with my fans … maybe I’m being greedy, but I still want more. Here’s to 1 year of fun and to the next one just getting started good. 💜
Thank you all for being here. Thanks for supporting me, @shellyrock 🥰😘
Just a morning update coming from one of my favorite spots on my porch … in some new panties. I realized when I was reviewing photos that it looks like I have a little 🐝 bee tattooed on my shoulder blade. 🤭🥰
I decided to use this time to verbalize a couple of things I want to do. I still believe that we are more likely to achieve our goals if we say them out loud, share the idea with people who will push you, and people you want to impress. The only thing left to do is to just do it, make things happen, and don’t stop until it’s done.
🤷🏼♀️ 💪🏻 💜
Write your story, find a place that makes you feel good, don’t give up, build yourself and others up, only look down to enjoy the view or to offer a helping hand to someone who needs it, but don’t sell yourself short either or allow someone to steal your joy….only the lazy try to take what the hard working rightfully earn. The fair, the good, the reasonable, the supportive: they will appreciate and celebrate and encourage you, not just on your best days, but even the days you decide to rest.
Be someone others want to be like… be strong and kind, but firm and fair with regard to your own outcome. Be resilient, but soft enough to spread love when it’s safe to share.
🎆Weekly Plank Challenge: Week 43, 25 Minutes🎆
Personally, I have always been intrigued with the idea that when we are in public spaces or on public platforms that we never know who we could be impacting. Equally intriguing is how you can only impact people in certain ways if you are a certain type of person or from a certain kind of background. This means that no matter your history, life path, or stance on miscellaneous subjects, each of every one of us has a unique and specific way that we and only we can affect others. Diving even deeper we can affect people positively or negatively, we can build them up or tear them down, make them feel special or convince them they don’t belong. I want to be a strong model of resilience, strength, hope, kindness, and love. Have you thought about what you want to spread and how you want to affect other people? Other animals? The world?
💜🌎💜
I’m not sure if planking directly impacts people like I want, but I hope my consistency, my encouragement, and my dedication to sharing is at least showing that I try to show up and do my best at whatever crazy goal I’ve designed to tackle for now. ✨🥰💪🏻 If we all considered cause and effects a little more often I know
we can all alter the effects we cause in life and the lives we contact, for the good. ✌🏼
