Day 1 Goose Creek 💚
Ava and Ozzy rode like a team and learned a lot! We know have some homework for both of them. Both did absolutely perfect for their very first show, even with minor looks at flowers and some bucking horses going past in the canter class, could not be more proud of these two!
Jaelyn and Waffle came home Champion for the intermediates coming home 🥇🥇in both jumping classes and 🥉in the flat! Great way to come back from having a month off because of my accident.

Day 2 Thoroughbred Heritage Show
Skye and Courage came home Reserve Champion for their second show together ever! Getting 🥇in the walk/trot out of 7 and 🥈in the walk/go as you please out of 7 again. This was a great final prep for 4h states in 3 weeks!
Ava and Ozzy came again coming home Reserve Champs also getting 🥇 out of 7 in walk/trot and 🥈 in walk/trot/canter. Making many improvements from yesterday from both horse and rider!
Jaelyn and Waffle came to do their first 2’6” in prep for 4h States and came home 🥈🥉in jumping and 🥈 on the flat. Great ride for preping for states after a long weekend of horse showing!
Thank you to everyone who checked in on me this weekend at the show and through texting💚 I’m still doing good!

House Mountain Horse Show
2 days, 95+ degrees, worth it always 🫠

Emma joined us this time with Nacho for their first hunter horse show together and ever! They came home reserve champions in the intermediate division. We pulled nacho out the jumper ring to play around in the hunters with us!
I suck at taking pictures so here is one of them napping together between rounds 😂❤️❤️

Great job today ladies!🥇🏆
I am very proud of everyone for still competing on this hot day! ☀️
Jaelyn and Waffle came home Reserve Champion in the Intermediates laying down some great rides on the slick grass! She also helped her dad David in the dad leadline they had for Father’s Day tomorrow!
Liz catch rode Courage for us today to help us fill some divisions for the show. First time ever riding him was when we showed up to the show! She came home Champion in the Junior Pleasure and Champion in the Intermediates! Mr. Courage always loves showing and loved having Liz along for the ride today!

Don’t give up on the hard horses! When you find the right match you find it!❤️
What a year of blood, sweat, and many many tears it has been! These two have had so many ups and downs over the last year that we were almost at the point of never seeing the light. We now see the light! 💡
Jaelyn and Lenny have been through the wringer. Both of them have grown so much over this last year and all her hard work is paying out. It’s always the hard horses that teach you the most, you can either step up to the plate or go the easy route. Super proud of these two after everything they have overcome they are now taking steps forward consistently. Lenny is a difficult horse he is sweet but reactive, beautiful but holds grudges, has a lot of heart but has trust issues, loves to work but has anxiety like no other. I am so proud of everything she has put into this horse. Now you see it paying off ❤️❤️

The first picture is a year ago at the 4h qualifying show, the second is today in their lesson. Same pair different mindset🧡🧡

It was a great horse show day for all! 4 girls qualified for the 4-H State Horse Show in September! Everyone rode amazing in their classes.
Bristol came home Reserve Champion on her pony Kit Kat in the W/T! First reserve champion in the books!
Myrna got 3 in all her W/T classes on Peter only after having a handful of lessons so far this year. Very proud of her at her first horse show!
Skye rode Courage amazing in her big classes coming home with 🥇 in her W/T/C class out of 7!! This was her very first horse show as well! Couldn’t ask for a better day for her!!
Lara rode 2 horses Peter and Courage qualifying both for states coming home with great ribbons in her big classes! She and Courage came home with 4th in the Equitation! Great rides even though Peter wanted to be a little sassy at times… 🤦🏽‍♀️
Jaelyn and Waffle just keep getting better with each show! Coming home Champion in their 2’6” division and 3rd out of 11 in the Equitation!
Pam and Peter had their first show together! Doing absolutely great for Pam’s 7th ride back after her year break!
Very proud of everyone on your rides and on the busy day we had yesterday! I want to give a special shout out to the parents! I couldn’t have made it through the day without you guys❤️❤️

The cutest old men there are ❤️❤️ Nacho (18 years old) and Courage (25 years old)are inseparable! They bicker, take naps under the lean to together, and have to eat from the same blade of grass consistently.
The best old men we could ever ask for!💕
