Cherry 🍒 had three great runs in San Antonio this past weekend at the Go Fast Races Thanksgiving Classic 🦃. She won the 2D Adult Incentive Friday and won the 2D Non-Incentive Horse sidepot with her Sunday run! 💰😍
I think it’s safe to say she was a fan of the San Antonio Rose 🌹 Palace which made for a fun weekend. ❤️

Hidden Branch had the absolute pleasure of hosting Daryl Kinney at our barn last weekend! Everyone learned a lot and had so much fun. Can’t wait to do it again sometime!

At first glance, we see the horse as a student.

In reality, the horse is the teacher.

The horse teaches us our limitations.
But, it also helps us overcome them.

The horse unveils our weaknesses.
But, it also helps us build new strengths.

The horse sees us at our worst.
But, it also helps us become our best.

The horse challenges us to be present.
But, it also makes us look forward to the future.

The horse demands a lot from us.
But, it also gives us more than we could ever return.

The horse is one of the greatest teachers we will ever have—if we allow ourselves to slow down long enough to be good students.

We had such a great time Saturday at the last Green Trees schooling show for 2024. Lexi and George got a 3rd and 4th for their intro dressage tests and Emily and Ryder were champion for the cross rails division at their first show! We are so thankful for these local shows for riders and horses to get show miles without having to break the bank!

Mika was a big girl at the barrel race last night. She was so brave riding in the warmup ring and around the arena alley. 😍
Cherry 🍒 had another consistent, smooth run and brought home a little check! 💙

“Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid. Don't be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Such a fun afternoon at the Highlander Ranch schooling dressage show. Lexi and George had a great experience at their first show together, Brynna and Waylon had very solid and consistent tests, and Bunny managed to keep her emotions in check in the big covered arena. On top of that, everyone came home with ribbons and raffle prizes! Super proud of everyone and their ponies!

Cherry 🍒 came back from a small break and was back at it yesterday in Groesbeck. She didn’t fire very hard, but made a nice smooth run to bring home some money 💰 placing second in the 2D open and winning the 2D mare incentive. 💙

“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.”

HBS had such a great weekend at the Meadow Creek jumper show! Everyone had great rides and came home with lots of ribbons. I was so incredibly proud of how everyone rode and supported each other. Thank you MCP for a super fun show and Donnie, Elizabeth and Nathaneal for volunteering to help the show run smoothly!
Edited to add… thank you Julie for getting our horses adjusted and PEMF before and after our shows and clinics to help them feel great!
