Well sometimes life doesn’t go like you planned it! Ended up having a wreck this past week on a c**t that luckily didn’t result in any broken bones, just a sore body for this cowpoke. We want to thank everyone for their patience as we have taken a break from lessons and training to heal up! Hoping to get some dates up on the calender soon! Thank you for all the kind messages. I’m ok and getting healed up! Sometimes things just have to get a little western. Photo by

One of the most magical parts of my job as a riding lesson instructor is to see my students grow! These three cowpokes chased their first group of cattle up to our north pastures and have become as handy as they come. Couldn’t be prouder to see these cowgirls grow!
