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. 💜

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?

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!
I’m not even sure if any of my fans want to see this kind of stuff, but this is how this girl irons a shirt really quickly before running out the door for a professional photo shoot (not OF related) 😆
I mean, I do keep my floor really clean 🤭
New jeans 👖 …new boots 👢 … and a new day to be thankful for my fans 💋💜

Trick(er) and the Treat
🐎 🤭 💁🏼♀️
Happy Halloween!
Butterflies aren’t scary, but that’s because they have already survived metamorphosis.
🐛 💜 🦋
Sometimes it takes a scary step to radically change your life. Butterflies should be a reminder that your life can change and still be beautiful. 😘
It’s a sad fact of life that our misperceptions and cultivated ideas can be things that hold us back from the life we dream of having. Halloween should be revamped as the holiday that reminds us we can be a version of whatever it is that appeals to our senses on any day! I think today, this Halloween, is the time we stop considering that we can only be bold and uninhibited with our looks and life on one day of the year. 🦋

🦋 Happy Halloween 🦋
I left a sweet treat (that gets unwrapped) 🍬 for you to find in your box this morning. 😇 💌
It’s been feeling like Fall: leaves are turning 🍁, the horses are darkening with their winter coats 🐎, more pink is visible along the evening horizon🌄, and the clouds are losing their shape 🌬️.
Halloween is said to mark the end of summer and beginning of winter. Many think it’s a time to remember the dead and most of us enjoy the fun festivities and candy. 🎃🍫
I like having a reason to put on costumes and dress up in something that I’d never be able to pull off in my day to day. 😏🥰
Speaking of costumes … I have one left to share tomorrow 🦋💜🦋🩷🦋💛🦋💚
Any guesses on my costume for today? 🤩
I’ll give you a hint… I can fly, I have scales, and blow fire ❤️🔥
Would you fly away with me?
I sent an early Halloween treat to my DMs and thought I could put the poll here. 🥰 To see the options be sure to check your DMs and unlock the video. 🎃
If you unlock the video and participate in my poll (before it closes), then I’ll send you an extra treat 😉😍
