Going through some images tonight and this one pops up! Cowboy mounted shooting is simply amazing in the right lighting when all the stars align................... the wave and splatter of the powder from the revolver is so cool!!

Game Day Surprise

For those asking, these were handed out at Stock Show. This is special of course for me, but something that truly stands out to me that I think is really important, Eli is 19 and still enjoying Freestyle! Says a whole lot about those caring for him at home. I’ll be making more announcements and posts regarding the model as we get closer to Breyerfest in July, so keep an eye out. And yes, I do have a lot of special/limited models all over my house that I’ve collected for many, many moons. Cheaper to keep and feed than the real ones.

Happy 2025!!

Was great kicking off 2025 with NWSS! Great to finally be able to announce that one of my images will be on Game Day Surprise's Breyer model box and being used in their marketing material (quite an honor to say the least). Great to have great friends and support of great people!

Sometimes it's important to take a step back, re-evaluate what's important to you as an individual. It can be a pretty eye opening experience for many reasons, but in all honesty it's healthy and much needed.

There's some exciting things coming up in 2025, will announce more closer to the moment. I've always given my all when I set out to do something, but when a group of people returns that support, it makes me want to do more to show that it's appreciated. So thank you! I'm pretty sure those involved will be happy, I've heard the requests and will be adding them to the list!

2025 NWSS Extreme Dogs
Extreme Dogs Stunt Dog Show

Last night was the Extreme Dog Show as Stock Show, I just love this event! These dogs truly love what they do and they don't hesitate to show their love for the people that they own! And if you missed this show either Monday or Tuesday, you missed seeing Sara Carson too!!

2025 NWSS Wild West Show

I was surprised how quickly 2024 came and went and it feels like 2025 is doing the same thing. Hard to believe Stock Show is already half over. Two more events to go, pretty excited to be at the Extreme Dogs. Tonights Wild West Show was full of a lot of amazing Native American Dancers, rope tricks and so much more. But I do have to say, one of my all time favorites of this event are the Longhorns..........................!

2025 NWSS AQHA/APHA Horse Shows

A few images from the last couple days at Stock Show. I can't believe how many ropers there were! Totally unexpected and so much fun to see everyone back. Used all of my batteries and the strobes were busy all day!

01/16/2025

All the images from the AQHA/APHA Ropings, Barrel Racing and Ranch Trail are now online!

01/15/2025

Reining, roping and reined cow horse competitors joined forces on opening day of the National Western Stock Show to participate in the second NWSS Western Performance Horse Showdown.

01/15/2025

The CINCH Arena was set ablaze as twelve competitors were put in the spotlight to perform routines in the $30,000 Invitational Freestyle Reining.

2025 NWSS Freestyle Reining

From the opening with Steve Schwartzenberger carrying the American flag, to the last horse to show - one of the things that kept coming to mind is how athletic our horses are! I think tonight proved that and I have some pretty amazing photos to show it! Another great Freestyle in the books with new competitors traveling a long distance to join us.

2025 NWSS Mentor Matchup

Todays NWSS Mentor Matchup is in the books!! Had a quick horse change first thing this morning for one of the teams and thankfully coach JD Yates just happened to have a back up in the stalls. Nice to see the support not only of the young riders, but the with the coaches as well.

It's almost time.....................................................

Happy New Year!!

What a way to finish a year................................!! Raising and being able to donate a lot of money in the memory of a wonderful bear (not done yet!) and keeping her legacy alive. The last for the year hand dyed and hand braided mecates and reins out in time for Christmas. And 5 images, including the cover, of a calendar coming soon to medical offices near you.

Sometimes I'm glad I listen to my heart, just need to do it more often.

And 2025 is already off to a wonderful start!

Everyone should believe in magic............................. I'm still going through images from stock show. One of my friends flew in from California to help with my crazy ideas; she ran a video camera for me the past 4-5 days. Made things just a bit more fun. And totally worth it! #nwssequineexhibitors #NWSS2024 #dodgeramfreestylereining #NationalReiningHorseAssociation #reininghorses #DanJames #doubledhorsemanship #reining

NWSS 2024 AQHA & APHA Shows Yesterday’s roping images are all loaded to the image hosting site available for viewing/purchasing.

2024 NWSS Mounted Shooting All the images from today’s shooting are now uploaded to the image hosting site. There are some videos but I do not have a way for people to view them. Was great seeing you all back! It’s been awhile.

2024 NWSS Dodge Freestyle Reining Just a short clip of two of the wonderful performances we saw yesterday! If you missed it, it's a shame because I really think it was one of the best ones! We did some video this year at the event, just an extra add on for something special down the road. There is so much that can be done with the images and video. We are currently still shooting some events at the stock show so not able to do a whole lot of editing and will be playing catch up until Thursday. All the images from the Mentor Matchup, Performance Horse Showdown, the Ranch Rodeo, the Freestyle and the AQHA/APHA show today are all online available for viewing/purchasing. #NWSS2024 #nwssequineexhibitors #dodgeramfreestylereining #freestylereining #reining #shareeschwartzenberger #nationalreininghorseassociation #rockymountainreininghorseassociation #wishyouwerehere #weloveourhorses #lukegingerich
