Home, Sweet Home

I’d love to write a small novel today, but I think I will spend it, instead, cleaning up this freezing house, unpacking, starting some laundry and otherwise getting back into the groove. We got back to the house at 3am and as I sit here now, it’s a negative 3 degrees outside with snow everywhere. I am covered in fleece from head to toe, but frankly, I’m not remotely comfortable. I think a hot shower and some alcohol might be just what the doctor orders. Oh that and bundling up to go see my chickens.

I have so much to tell about Vegas it’s not really even funny, and so I hope to be able to start those updates tomorrow or later today. If you have time, you should read through my Twitterings from the week. Funny stuff in there; you’ll probably see where I was, and what I was doing, and keep up with the goings on from my life for the past week. Or at the very least you’ll get cross-eyed from reading everything I did.

I’m planning a series of posts about our trip, broken down into smaller sections so as not to bore anyone.

Now if you’ll all excuse me, I have to get these bags unpacked. I PROMISE I’ll have some updates and photos for you soon.

About ~The South Dakota Cowgirl~

Jenn Zeller is the creative mind and boss lady behind The South Dakota Cowgirl. She is an aspiring horsewoman, photographer, brilliant social media strategist and lover of all things western.

After a brief career in the investment world to support her horse habit (and satisfy her mother, who told her she had to have a “real” job after graduating college), she finally took the leap and stepped away from a regular income; trading the business suit once and for all for cowgirl boots, a hat, and jeans. She has not looked back.

When Jenn first moved to The DX Ranch on the South Dakota plains, she never imagined she’d find herself behind a camera lens capturing an authentic perspective of ranching, and sharing it with others. Jenn has always been called to artistry, and uses music, writing, images, home improvement, and her first true love of horses to express her ranching passion.

Horses are the constant thread and much of her work centers around using her unique style of writing to share her horsemanship journey with others in publications such as CavvySavvy, the AQHA Ranching Blog, the West River Eagle, the family ranch website, and her own website.

Using photography to illustrate her stories has created other opportunities -- Jenn’s brand “The South Dakota Cowgirl” has grown to the level of social media “Influencer”. This notoriety has led to work with Duluth Trading Company, Budweiser, Wyoming Tourism, Vice, Circle Z Ranch and Art of the Cowgirl, to name a few. She also serves as a brand ambassador for Woodchuck USA, Arenus Equine Health, Triple Crown Feed and Just Strong fitness apparel. Her photography has been featured by Instagram, Apple, TIME Magazine, The Huffington Post, and Oprah Magazine. Jenn’s work has been published internationally, has been seen in several books and has graced the covers of several magazines.

Jenn became a social media influencer by accident when she started to explore Instagram as a way to share her life on the ranch with folks that don’t get to experience it. It’s grown into an incredible platform that she uses to empower women, create an environment for self improvement and share life on the ranch.

When she’s not working, she loves to drink coffee, play with her naughty border collie named Copper, start ranch colts, and run about the country chasing cans. Her mother still thinks she doesn’t have a “real” job.

Give your horse or dog, or cat the gift of mobility.
