I am thrilled to acknowledge Emily Deville and Mickey's accomplishments. While traveling to NRCHA events with me, Emily has simultaneously devoted considerable effort to High School Rodeo. At the district 7 Rodeo event held in Santa Mario, Emily secured an impressive second place. Overall, she attained a notable 3rd place ranking in the district for the year. The forthcoming state event in Bishop marks an exciting milestone for High School Rodeo. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Wyatt Fisher for looking after Emily when I am unavailable. Emily Deville

Congrats to 4D Performance Horses, LLC on a second place finish at the CRCHA Spring derby and Spectacular in the Open Two Rein! Sunni and Dre also finished 18th in their first Bridle Spectacular.

Very excited for this years transition into the Two Rein with Robert Crey. Bridging the gap between the Hackamore and Bridle is so important! When you have such a well trained Hackamore horse this method promotes a positive association with the bit!

Had fun schooling Ellie for Kaity Sotomayor! Looking forward to this team showing together soon!

SHR Electric Smoke aka Ellie went on a field trip to Paso Robles with Sunni McCormick to get in some cow horse practice while Kaity and Cutter were in Scottsdale.

This pretty mare is by Mr Electric Spark out of SHR QTsSmokin Hot Dun, second generation bred by SHR and now owned by Kaity and Matt! It's so fun seeing more and more SHR horses showing up in the cow horse pen!

Ima Onetime Gangsters successfully debuted in the Bridle at the Saguaro Classic. After a mere month and a half of training in the bridle, I was thoroughly pleased with Oakley's progress, and I extend my gratitude to Sharan Glenn Merchant for this opportunity.
