Tonight's TMS Trainer Rumble Night #2 was amazing! 💙🐴 We were short a few people, but it still turned into something I honestly can’t quite put into words. It felt like something that’s been needed… something that takes us back to our roots and makes TMS feel like TMS again.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in this series so far. If this continues to be successful, we would love to keep offering events like this in the future, so let us know what you think! If you’re enjoying them and want to see more, tell us. We don’t want to fill Thursdays (or another day) with something else if this is what everyone wants and needs.
Tonight was the scavenger hunt extravaganza! First you had to find the clues hidden throughout the barn and then you had to find the items! Aubrrie was our winner this week!
Anna was the winner of the trainer trivia although I'm not sure many kids got more than three or four questions in total correct, that goes to show how much they don't know about the people they trust to teach them this Sport and when it comes down to it, they trust with their lives!
Just wait till you see what the winners are going to get, it isn't just one thing, it will be multiple and it will be worth it...
This is our job but our students deserve no who we are! And these Rumble nights show it, without the trivia or anything else. This is tms! This is the TMS that I fell in love with and that I remember and that I have needed back in a way that can't be described. The barn itself needed it the same. We all needed it!
We are one team and we are a damn good one!
We’d also love feedback on the games and activities. Do you enjoy them, or would you rather just ride old-school style… first come, first to ride, jump in and be ready for whatever comes your way? 😂
Tonight, like last Thursday, all of the trainers in one place, working together as a team. Students seeing us smiling, laughing, eating together, and being one group. Kids putting themselves out there, letting go of fears, staying after without rushing home, enjoying the sport… while still riding like the fire-breathing dragons they should be 🔥🐉
I had hoped last week wasn’t a fluke because it was amazing, but Night 2 somehow felt even better.
Are we perfect? No. Is anybody? No. Do we have the most money to buy the fanciest horses with the fewest quirks and issues? No. Do we want to? Honestly... no, we don’t.
We are exactly who we want to be. Proudly one of the oldest barns in the Tri-State still standing, in the same facility with the same owner, our team has changed a little bit over the years but we are still operating with core and heart, while continuing to grow and expand. Our roots run deep, so deep, that even if leaves fall or change colors, they come back even stronger!
We are proud of where we came from and proud of what we’ve built. Thank you to everyone who has ever stepped foot in our barn. Even those who left us — we learned from you too. To those who found their way back, thank you. And to those who are here now... thank God you get to see the real TMS.
We hope to keep this spirit going for many years to come 💙🐴
Last week we had walking tacos, this was pizza and amazing desserts! Next week Chick-fil-A and the amazing desserts by Jennifer...
Next week is the horse show magazine journalist representative contest! Yes just as complicated as it sounds, are you ready? Start thinking about it, trust me winning is worth it in these contests! Start researching your horseshow magazines, read some articles, learn as you go, but get some ideas! Who are you going to interview? Who are you going to take pictures of? What will your article bring to the magazine The TMS Times?!
