Los Vaqueros de Las Montanas

11/26/2024

Thank you to everyone who has been part of Los Vaqueros this past year. Our volunteers, sponsors, riders, clinicians, spectators, are so greatly appreciated. We would not be able to continue on this road if it wasn’t for all of you. We will be having our Christmas Party on December 11 at Wyatt’s. We hope you all received your invitations, and we will be awarding the belt buckles to our riders from the Fall Classic.
Thank you Suzanne Hodges for your hard work, you are the best. Looking forward to next years event.
Paul Dietz will be here in May 2025, the perfect beginning to our 2025 season. I hope you will join us. He has helped me through many issues with my horse. I can’t say enough about him.
Let me know if you have any questions or want to get involved with Los Vaqueros. Just DM me.

I’m hoping for all the parents that had their children ride in our fall classic you will contact Brady! He has more photos, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised about how beautiful all of them are. Next year we’re going to have more events, and in order to have a photographer we need to definitely support him.

We have some amazing photos, from Bending Energy Photography! Most of the photographs are from in hand and youth divisions. Brady Enger does such amazing work. And if you want to purchase any of the photos, contact me and let me know and I will give you his contact information. He works hard at what he does, and in order for him to continue coming out and photographing our events we need to support, his business.

I want to make sure that all the kids that are in the youth division know they need to wear a helmet. It’s very important, to keep them safe and due to our insurance at the arena this is something that we have to enforce!

I cannot believe this was 12 years ago with my daughter Shea Odom while she was working at Channel 6. Paul Dietz changed my life that year. ! He took a horse that I wasn’t quite ready for and made it my heart horse. There is always more room to grow, and that will continue today.

Horsemanship extrerdioner Paul Dietz talks to shea burk at the Los vaqueros arena about his long time horse experience and how he has achieved what he has now.
