Erin Valley Rodeo Academy

We took our Elite Team down to KRC to practice before BCBRA Finals this weekend!! Scary to think we were missing a few members! Look at all those unicorns !! We have some pretty excited jockeys at the ranch this week !! 💕

We had some brave volunteers in last weeks windy lesson as our pop up barrels were blowing away 😂 We haven’t been able to wait for fencing to try out the NEW ARENA. A huge thank you to Metro Reload Ltd for this incredible ground. If anyone is building an arena or looking to add material I could not recommend them enough!

Riding horses is our “ Went for a drive to clear my mind.” No matter what age or level you are at 💕 #ridinglessons #ConfidenceBoost #naturalhorsemanship #horse #girl #horsegirl #rodeo Richelle Marie

I guess we better make them “handy horse girls” in more ways than one 😂 Thanks Crystal Hughes & Jay or the bales 💕 #cowgirls #unloadinghay #horsegirls
