Another fun show for the record books!
What a great time we had at the Beat the Heat show in Queen Creek put on by the EVAHA.
So proud of my show string and clients. Good times, camaraderie, and good horses.
I'm so proud of all we accomplished!
Olivia and Ocala continued to hone their show ring skills.
The Black Pearl G and her new owner, Cathy Griffin, made their successful maiden voyages together across the show pen.
My new stallion, LC Axis was a great horse in his first ever class under saddle after a successful halter horse career!
My new trail horses were confident steeds on the course.
And we were especially happy to support and enjoy AHA's newest recognized class, Ranch Horse Pleasure! What a fun show!
Thank you to my pit crew of friends that make successful showing possible!
I see big things in the future!

Many dreams are made and lost on the rich show arena soil.
Hours of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears are counted in our journey to attain goals.
The thrill of capturing our dreams and visions sometimes comes in the show pen, sometimes it happens when the stands are empty and the ground is not surrounded by the walls of the show arena.
For some, it's the sound of the horse's four hooves grabbing the ground for a perfectly balanced run down and amazing sliding stop.
For another, it may be the sight of a straightaway between the tightly pricked ears of a firey English horse.
Some would argue it's the feeling of wading through water on a steady footed trail horse.
Of course we all want to ride for the roses on our own champion.
I realize we all have a vision that we create and constantly shape ourselves, our horses, and our future for.
This special horse is my own. I was there to pick him up in a blue container at the airport. I was there to help his dam deliver him without complication. He has been my companion and constant supply of humor and challenge through many moves and life changes.
Most anyone who spends time around this horse instantly recognizes two things. #1 he's a bit obnoxious. #2 there's something very unique about him.
This horse has lived as if the world is his play pen. It's a great reminder that I need to embrace the same outlook.
Today I snapped this picture of Travolta after our ride. It was one of those perfect "ah ha" moments when I realized the vision I had for him came to be.
On our quest for perfection, don't forget to stop and relish those milestones that make the journey so worthwhile.

I am bursting with pride for a couple awesome kids and a very special horse.
Not many horses can handle performing for multiple riders. TA OCALA was a super star this weekend at the SAAHA show. She was first in walk trot showmanship, hunter pleasure, aatr western and 13& under western. She showed like a rock star with ears forward in every class. What a great mare!
I am so proud of Ocala, Chase and Olivia Pullifrone, and their aunt Kaitlin.
