I wrote a big long post on Sunday and added this video to it, and somehow only the video appeared. Of course I didn’t notice so now I’m gonna try again.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the Bilby Ranch schooling show on Saturday. It was an amazing day with some fabulous runs and lots of new people.

Thank you to wildflower Western for the gift certificates for the Highpoint performance and Highpoint speed riders. They were truly appreciated.

I want to put an extra special. Thank you out there for my ring crew, barbeque and office staff. Without you, the show would not run, and this show I felt run so smoothly. You are truly an amazing Bunch. And I am blessed to have you part of the Bilby family.

The next show is July 6, and I hope to see everybody here.

STORY OF THE DAY:

If you give your child a pony, they will want to ride. You’ll buy them the best pony you can find, followed by a helmet, boots and all the other things pony.

You look for a local barn to ride at where you start to socialize with the equestrian community…………And then life as you know it, will end.

Before you know it, they want to show so you find a circuit …..There will be no more lazy weekends watching tv. You will see more sunrises than you ever thought possible.
Every spare minute of your time will be spent hauling campers, horse trailers and horses and enduring a crazy addiction to practice for the next show.

Your house may be a mess, and your car will be dirty. All because you gave your child a pony. Your weekends will be spent freezing or burning to death on a fold up chair. And their weekends will be spent gaining confidence and friends, learning new skills and having fun and getting dirty!!!!

You will be there the day he or she takes the first few steps of canter, the first taste of a jump, first ribbon, first championship. And they will make you SO proud. Other parents will congratulate you, but you feel weird saying thank you because it's not you on the pony, it’s your child. It's everything that they did, they achieved. And right before your eyes, your little boy/girl will be transformed from the baby who bounced around on their rocking horse into an exceptional young horse enthusiast on the hunt for the next pony finals or maybe even the Olympics!

When you give your child a pony , you give them more than just something to ride. You give them a sport, a talent, hope and dreams. Friends, a new family, a place to learn about life, room to grow as a person where they can push their limits, and bravery, and courage, and memories. And they will have ALL of these things, simply because you gave your child a pony.

Because you gave your child a pony, you too will develop new/lifelong friendships, developed solely from the same passion for the sport. You will have a equestrian family because you gave your child a pony.

Then one day, many years from today…they will be in their room and a certain trophy will catch their eye. And they will pick it up and realize instantly that when you gave your child a pony, you also gave them a childhood that they would never forget, at this point, you realize that everything you gave up along the way and sacrificed was totally worth it…..

I Can’t wait to get back outside. Lessons should be good to start again Tuesday. Please remember you are responsible for getting and tacking your horse. Bring appropriate boots for the pens, or parents to help if needed.
