Flexing is a real thing. I believe there is an art to it and when done correctly it can really show off your muscles. I don’t know how to flex correctly, but I do have the smiling part down pretty well. 😁 💜

I hope you all don’t mind my quotes. 🙃 It’s a favorite pastime of mine to read quotes that push me to be a valuable constituent to those who find me. 🥰
Our attitude is a powerful force. I try to use mine in way that is altruistic, symbiotic, harmonious, and unifying. It’s not always easy, but the best things rarely are. 💜

It’s almost Thanksgiving. I have mixed feelings about the origination of this holiday, but I do support the idea of people displaying cognitive recognition of their blessings.
If I had enough time I could probably fill up this text box with the maximum allowed characters rambling about all that I’m thankful for. Now, we could also probably all try to one up each other on the sacrifices we have made in life, the unjust situations we have endured, and compare difficulties we’ve overcome, but tomorrow isn’t about that. It’s about gratitude. It’s about showing love, sharing words and acts of thanks, and acknowledging all of the good we have in our life. I’m thankful for a day to do this because without checkpoints in life we can exhaust an insatiable drive. So be sure you are fighting to climb your mountains, but always pausing here and there to savor the views, to thank the trees for their cover, the sun for its light, the rivers for water, and the ground for a place to rest.
I’m thankful for my life, for my family and friends, the animals in my life, and for all that is to come. 💜 Did I mention I’m thankful for the raw landscape and mesmerizing wilderness of Alaska? 😝😍🏔️
Lastly, one of my favorite quotes that embodies the way I want to live is this one:
“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” -John Muir
Only, I want to look at it under the light of the stars too. 😍⭐️💫 I’m thankful for another day to look, tomorrow.
I have been doing a fair amount of cross training to help me become stronger for both my climbing and riding. Usually I get to the gym at least 3 days a week. Sometimes less and sometimes more, but I have really been enjoying the addition of weights to my routine. Another thing I have been focusing on is strengthening my legs and toning my glutes.
This new (to me) exercise has really been making the backs of my upper legs sore, but I like it! 🙌🏻 This move involves balancing your feet flat on a ball with your pelvis elevated as high as you can and knees bent. With your weight on your shoulders and arms stretched out for balance you straighten your legs by allowing the ball to roll out, then pull it back in. I’ve been doing 3 x 2 minute intervals and my legs and 🍑 are burning by the end.
Don’t worry I’ll try share progress pics periodically as I go. 😉😏
Morning candids 📸
I think I can see some positive changes happening to my 🍑 and 🦵🏼 from all of the 🏋🏻♀️ I have been lifting. 😏

Now that I’ve been on @onlyfans for over a year I get to see my “on this day” memories pop up in my story. It’s inspiring even to me to see the reminders of how I’ve always tried to keep my page inspirational, meaningful, and motivating for everyone.
I’ve always been a dreamer, someone who has faith in the world, and a person who wholeheartedly holds onto the idea that good things will happen for those who do good. Sure I can be taken down by negativity, and hate hurts me as much as the next person, but the hunger and drive inside of me has always somehow prevailed.
Everybody learns their ways from observation and/or by mimicking the actions of those whom they see doing well. I have had lots of people enter my life, both directly and indirectly, to help me target and hold my focus in the best kind of ways. I hope my page is an indirect source of positive targeting for others.
Today I’m positive will be a great Monday. 💜😘😍
I started mine off in a new set of panties with celebratory talk over my weekend and some fun finds from my favorite tack shop! Want to see what I got? 🐎💜
I spent the weekend showing one of the most noble creatures on Earth. 🐎 I get to call him mine, but I’m just as much his.
There’s a story I once heard about how a person can have something invaluable, a prized possession that in the correct light is coveted by all. The same priceless treasure could be overlooked or even mistaken as rubbish to those unaware of its most polished state.
O was a lost treasure that I’ll forever value as a partner, a coveted gem, and trusty sidekick in my life. He came to me with bad habits, but he had only developed them from improper handling.
Horses do not make choices with forethought like humans, but similar to us, they do recognize and respond to joy, kindness, and consistency, as well as, mishandling, pain, and pressure. Most species have the cognitive ability to understand when another creature is genuinely interested in their best interest.
Lucky for me, O crossed my path. I could relate to his reactions, empathize with his situation, and I had the space for his life to add to my purpose. It took time and patience to get us to where we are, but O was my diamond in the rough. He is living proof to serve as a reminder that when all is almost lost you might still have someone show up and alter the course of your life. 💜
O did win a lot of pretty ribbons over the weekend, BUT at the end of it all the ribbons do not matter, only the quality of the ride and the heart of the horse. 🏇😍
Who doesn’t love a hole-in-the-wall ice cream shop? 🍨😋

Getting ready to mount my ride 🏇… 🤭🙃
Some days aren’t as colorful as others. There will be days that feel boring and mundane or sad and empty, but hopefully you’ll have someone who shows up to restore the loss of vibrancy in your life. It might be someone who you would have never expected. Whoever it is, once you feel the color come back you’ll never forget them for helping you see it again.
In the movie, Trolls (random, I know), Branch is kind of grumpy and not portrayed as the happiest troll, but in the movie he helps the others get their color back. I’ll always love Branch a little more for that scene. 💜🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙
Now you should all go listen to “True Colors”
🎵🥲💜
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there
🥰
I love that song .. and the message 🌎🥰💜
Let’s all try to be a Branch for someone when they need it.
I think I have mentioned Sunday is my favorite day of the week. For whatever reason it seems like people show each other the most respect on Sundays. At least for me (living in the south) Sunday is considered a day of rest and a day that people tend to be a tad bit more considerate of other’s getting the day “off” of work. For those who work in fields that often require availability any day of the week, night or day, it can become hard to relax. A constant “on call” state can lead a person to experience anxiety, feelings of unrest, it can negatively affect their mood while inhibiting the person from thinking they can start anything for fear of being called in. I like to avoid these feelings by escaping to the mountains any chance I get. Today I’m not “on call” for work, but I still heard the mountains beckoning me. 🌲🧗🏻♀️🧘🏼♀️💜

It’s known in the horse world that when the weather starts to cool off, they can become a little more forward, a little more frisky, and a bit more unpredictable.
Turns out, the same thing happens with some women 🤷🏼♀️🤭😏
This set features me in a geometric, sheer bodysuit … I think it’s cute and Fall-ish 😍🖤 and I could probably wear the socks with my tall boots 🤔🥰
🎤 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 …inside of Shelly’s house 🎶 🤭
I don’t always put up my decorations before Thanksgiving, but this year I want to have time to really enjoy them. Life is busy and full and waiting too long to decorate can make it feel like I’m pulling them all out to barely see them, and then pack them right back up.
Everyone may or may not enjoy their decorations or want them out this early, but I’m not actually home for that long each day so I’d rather have the extra time.
❤️💚❤️💚
My little living room isn’t a space that I spend much time in, but I do like for it to feel cozy and inviting. For the times I do get inside early enough for lounging around to watch a movie or to relax by my fireplace I have wanted a couch with a chaise lounge. While out shopping for a completely different piece of furniture I happened upon a couch that felt perfect for my space. I like how it fits and it gives me plenty of room to stretch out for relaxing evenings to come. 💜
2024-11-13 17:10:50 +0000 UTC View PostI was thinking: I get to do a lot of fun things in my life. You guys have no idea how much work I do behind the scenes to be able to do all of these fun things; but, for those of you who live in the real world like me and have literally climbed from nowhere to where you are… well, I believe you probably have an idea.
As I’ve been improving my video editing skills I thought I’d try to step up my @oftv intro to showcase some of the highlights of my favorite things.
What do you guys think? 💜 🐎 🏋🏻♀️🏔️🧗🏻♀️💪🏻🎥📼
🎵 Another day in the life,
Used to have to scrape to get by,
Now my farm is gated and I made it,
And my neighbors say hi 💜
Name that song and artist 🙌🏻 (for the real song!) … lyrical edits made by me 💁🏼♀️😆
Video really is just another morning with me 😘
… and it took three tries for me to not laugh during the beginning scene while I was counting! 🤣💪🏻
That face you can’t help but make, when you’re working hard and it hurts so good 🥰
Working on those gains …🏋🏻♀️
Cross training for 🧗🏻♀️so I can crush those cruxes 💜
If you want to be better at something you can either keep wanting or put in the work to be better. Join me as we all go for the second option! 🙋🏼♀️😉 We can make funny faces together. 😝🤭
When you love horses (maybe a little too much): part of me just wants to keep these stamps! 💌💜🐴

Guess who has a new “trending” video for you to check out on their @oftv channel?! 🙋🏼♀️🥰🤭
You can follow the link above 👆🏻 or download the app and search for me, @shellyrock, under “creators.”
The video features a special colt of mine with some details of how he came into existence. 💙🐴💜
I’m a little late getting this up today, but I’ve been up and out all day. Now, I’m hoping this gets you up if you’ve been missing my help with that today. 🤭🥰😍

Night check … it’s something done at most barns to make sure all of the horses are safe and doing well right before the barn hand turns in for the night.
All looks pretty fine here in the barn for now. 🤭😉
I have an update on this handsome stud coming to my @oftv channel soon! 💜🐴💜
18 months and counting 🗓️😍
I have worked my entire life for so many of the things I have now. Astro is a horse that I created after choosing his dam and sire. Of all of my horses he is one that I made happen through a process of events. Each of my horses hold their own special spot in my heart, but this one seems to have an extra connection that is strengthening and growing as he matures. What a wonderful life it is and what a wonderful thing to take a moment to appreciate it. I might not have as much as many, but I have more than I once dreamed. Life is good…. And my horses make it even better. 💜
I hope you all have some of the things that you wished for years ago and that your hard work pays off in all of the best ways for your life. 🥰
Take me back … ❄️ ❤️
Here or there … I can go anywhere when I close my eyes: I can see the sparkles, remember the frigid breeze, and the way life feels when your senses are all heightened by the extremes of Alaskan wonder.
I’ll be back, but until then I’ll visit in my mind, replay the memories, and plan for the future. ✨🏔️✨
Where does your mind take you when you visit your favorite destination?

Your vote matters and you should vote too 😘
I did a little camping over the weekend. Listening to the leaves and pine needles tap along the tent walls at night and in the quiet of the morning is a refreshing way to drift off and wake to a new day. Relaxing in the evening to the crackle of a warm fire and losing yourself to random thoughts as you stare into dancing flames is peaceful. 🔥 Life feels slower in the woods, more tranquil and a lot more simple.
I’ll let you sit by the fire with me if you want, but it takes me dressing down into thin lingerie to find an ideal compromise with the heat of the fire and coolness in the air. My tent is plenty roomy. You can come in and check it out or catch a little peek of my silhouette on my tent wall. Don’t mind me while I make myself comfortable. 😉🏕️💜
Shelly’s (favorite kind of) Sunday in the South 🤍🐎
For a few weeks I felt like I was never home on the weekend! My life is busy with all of the things I do for work, but then add in vacations (close together) and wow, it feels nice to be home! I know, I know, “woe is me,”😆 but the only way I actually get a break from my real job is to leave town. 🤷🏼♀️
When I am home I try to ride at least 3 times a week. I definitely don’t jump O that often, but we either do flatwork in the arena or stroll around the property checking the fences and enjoying the ever changing colors of the seasons. 🍁 🍂
Thoroughbreds often tend to be pretty hot headed horses and not every Thoroughbred is suitable for pleasure riding outside of the arena. I know I mention it all of the time, but O is pretty amazing. He has a story just like you and me. The way he became a part of my life is proof that certain things are meant to be. He came to me unexpectedly during a time that I wasn’t looking for another horse. It was as if life knew he was supposed to be around.
O might not be the fanciest mover or flashiest horse in the world, but he couldn’t be more perfect for me.
Always all smiles after a good ride 💜😉
It’s been a little while since I talked about how important it is for people to have a hobby. A hobby can be anything that someone chooses to do in their leisure time. My favorite hobbies are riding horses and rock climbing. These activities not only provide me with benefits from the physical exercise they require, but they add to my self worth and help me build confidence in numerous ways. Horseback riding, specifically, improves my ability to reason and reflect on how another creature feels and will react to me: my voice, my body language, my touch, and my presence. Riding conditions me to handle myself appropriately to yield an outcome that keeps me safe, having fun, and reflecting on my ability to affect another living animal. When we are both comfortable and enjoying each other it can feel like we have escaped the mundane routine of an ordinary day. The best part of riding and interacting with my horses is that they require focus. My focus on them temporarily erases my focus from any stress associated with the lesser parts of life.
Riding or climbing may not be your thing, but I’d love to hear what hobby frees your soul from routine? Now, take a minute to reflect and make sure you are saying yes to yourself enough to enjoy it!
