So glad you stopped in! 💜

This picture was taken in 2018 on our move from Louisiana to Wisconsin. Miranda was five months pregnant in this photo, and we were driving toward a future we could not yet see.

We were not planning to stop at a roping that day. We were headed to a new life.

Everything we owned was loaded up. Two horses. Miranda’s good head horse and my good heel horse. A dog. A cat. A three year old. Our clothes and gear stuffed into every corner of the living quarters. A truck and a trailer rolling north with no real idea what waited for us when we got there.

Somehow along the way we realized we were somewhat close to a USTRC roping at YankeeTown Arena in Henryville, Indiana. It was a small detour, but we looked at each other and said why not. We already had the horses with us. We already had our ropes. So we made a detour and went to a roping in the middle of a move across the country.

And somehow we won.

We won a roping together. We won a pair of buckles. We also won about thirty five hundred dollars, which at that moment meant more to us than we can explain. It was fuel. It was groceries. It was a little peace of mind as we kept driving toward Wisconsin.

Those Indiana buckles still mean a lot to us. Not because of where they came from, but because of when they came.

Two people in the middle of a big leap. A family in a trailer. A dream on the road. And a stop at YankeeTown Arena that reminded us we were on the right path.
