We finished up the OQHA Summer Finale with some great results including:

📌 Diane and Theo 1/2/4 in Level 1 Am walk trot Horsemanship (Reserve for circuit)

📌 Jess and Maverick rocking the Horsemanship with 1/2/2 in Lev 1 Am just missing the circuit win. Followed by a 6th in the NSBA Horsemanship for a bit of 💰

📌 Diane and Levi had a really nice go in the Level 1 walk jog pleasure for 4/5/7 in a big class. Levi had some baby moments for Victoria but grew up a lot through this show and we look forward to seeing what next year brings!

📌 Maxene and Gracie ended up Reserve High Point Open horse - very cool for their first AQHA show.

Thanks to the Ontario Quarter Horse Association for putting on a great show. And to all the volunteers who work so hard to make it happen!

Home from a great show put on by Mid Western Horseman’s Society at Reach!

Today was another successful one with not only top placings but lots of good rides and more time in the saddle building confidence and connections with our horses.

Shout out to

Callie Harron & Tinsel Doll on putting it out there and doing the games classes! Bringing home ribbons and prize money their first time out. 👏

Michelle Harron & Champ trying the Horsemanship for the first time as well as Ranch Riding. Lots of great moments in each with a few homework pieces to work on! 🙌

Gord Timmerman trusted his young horse out with me at her first weekend show and we came away with 2 & 3 in Jr Pleasure and placings in halter. A big learning weekend for Missy and she has a bright future ahead! 😎

Erica Murray & Beau won the Equitation both days and they’ve worked very hard to connect in English as it’s new to them both. Such a fancy pair! They also had top placings in Ranch Riding 🤩

Jessica Mosley Cairncross & Maverick were 1st or 2nd in all their classes bringing home some nice 💰
These 2 have really got a special connection and still more goals to accomplish. 👏

Maxene Murray & Gracie didn’t make it out today but rocked their classes yesterday with 1sts in Ranch Riding & Ranch trail and top placing in Ranch Rail. Putting more pieces together each time out 🧩…an exciting future!

Duke debuted in halter today with a 1st in geldings. Still lots to work on for our riding classes but was exciting to get a 2nd placing $ for the CQHA Ranch Riding. 👌

Thanks to Lindsey Harris and Laura Todd for their help with keeping us ready to go!

Thanks to MWHS volunteers for all the hard work that goes into putting on these shows - it’s appreciated! 👏

Good day in Clinton at the MWHS show! Today was a day with lots of learning, growth, placings and personal bests!

In addition to the white board pic Erica and Beau were 7th in horsemanship (out of 20+) and we heard their names called but need to get the specifics still!

Started the day before sunrise and ended after - ready for a good sleep! 😴

We do it all again tomorrow 🍀
