So the best part of my week has been getting some amazing updates from riders I’ve been lucky enough to sponsor and support. Thank you so very much for keeping me and my handmade pads and blankets as part of your equestrian journeys 🫶. The best bit, it’s all connected by the state of California 🤯
Sarah Bradley is a Canadian rider who recently made the big trip from the Sunshine Coast to southern California to compete with her Horses Holly Golightly and Gunner in a WAWE qualifier. Not only did she ride using my pads (along with another Canadian rider Jane Stone), she won the competition at the L7 Masters level! Here’s a photo (credit to Brooke Louise Creative) of Sarah and Gunner in Southern California last month. I’m so stinking proud of all the Canadians that made the trip and really shined in the competition. 🤩
Gigi is an absolute ray of sunshine for making my day every single time I get to message with her. Here’s the backstory… a couple of years ago I got the most random sponsorship request from the Northern California Jr. Rodeo Queen Competition. I could not say no, as this was pretty much the most hilariously crazy thing that has ever happened to me. I’m now proud to say I have made a few pads for these young women for two years now. My blankets that are now out in the rodeo circuit proudly used by the competitors that won their Horsemanship categories. How delightful this random ask has become! Thank you Gigi for being the absolute legend of a rodeo queen and I’m so proud to be a small part of your journey 🥰
So, I may be the worst business owner ever, but I’m having the best time making some items for use by some of the best horsewomen on earth. Ride on my Cowgirls. For all my people that order from me… Thank you for being the reason why I keep going! 🫶 Your support means that we can all be the support for something even bigger than just a really great pad for our horses comfort. Enjoy your rides my friends!
