We’ve got mail! 📪 Our golden boy, Dreamin In Hollywood “Enzo” was so good at the Saguaro Classic earlier this year winning three All Around buckles in the Youth and Amateur divisions! We are so grateful to receive these keepsakes from the last Saguaro Classic that SAQHA will ever put on. Thank you so much to Carol and her team for the years of memories!

We are home from a successful Mothers Day Circuit show in Paso Robles. Our horses were great and we had a lot of fun. We played a little bit of musical horses schooling and getting ready for upcoming shows. Thank you to SLOCQHA for a great show and awesome awards! In addition to cool prizes, we brought home over $1500 of cash and gift certificates (including $250 to Shorty’s Caboy Hattery, $600 in stakes winnings, $400 in Cinch gift certificates, $250+ cash in class prize money and $100 to Hats by Claudia)

The horses all did great but Whiskey was the real standout at this show!

The back-to-back Pinnacle Circuit and AQHA West L1 Championships at South Point Arena in Las Vegas May 6-16 delivered a show experience that people will long remember after the trailers are unpacked. Both shows saw significant increases in horses and entries, yet remained smooth running and exhibitor friendly. Descriptors such as “it’s so fun,” and “everyone is so welcoming” floated in the air every day. Bountiful smiles and horse hugs reiterated those sentiments. ✅ Click here to read more: https://bit.ly/4x9zvMc

Enzo had some mail when we got home from Vegas! He really stepped up in the Amateur events when Huck was out so we could still show together. So proud of him!
