VA State 4-H Championships, September 5-8

Three weeks ago we took the girls to my personal favorite show of the year. Everyone rode great, and the horses were so perfect. The girls and horses even blew me away with their first ever drill team performance. 🍀🌸🐴

Brookhill Farm Horse Show, June 9

We always enjoy attending these horse shows. We just brought a small group since most of our kids showed the day before, but we had a great time!

Kemper Knoll Farm, May 17

While the show that was originally scheduled for this date was postponed, Darlene ever so kindly still allowed our girls to come school and board our horses overnight. We had perfect weather Friday night, and it was such a fun and educational experience for everyone. And to top it off, Darlene even taught us how to drive her cart ponies. So cool!!

I have soft spots (no pun intended) for Appaloosa’s. One my first horses as a kid was a little black and white speckled appy named Bubbles. It’s safe to say she wasn’t nearly as striking as Rosie here, but as an 8 year old girl, it didn’t matter.

Bubbles and I found adventure after adventure. In hindsight I think she tolerated my adventures.

I’d often imagine I was Zorro and hang from the barn rafters only to believe that if I whistled she’d come stand under my dangling legs as I sat down on her and she’d wisp me away. In reality it was quite the opposite. I’d sit on her, she’d walk under a rafter and I’d grab one while she kept on walking and never come back leaving me suspended till my arms gave out and I landed in her gift of fresh manure.

But aren’t those the memories that keep us falling in love with these animals? The gentle spirits that are willing to somehow put up with us.

Rosie did an amazing job, almost to the point where she’d fall asleep in pose. Life is exhausting when you’re pretty. 😂

This beautiful mare is Kate. She was a little weary at first of what my big camera and my assistants reflector might do to her, but after a little time and watching her horsey friends become super models she decided it wasn’t so bad and gave me some beautiful poses. Can you believe she’s 20???

A huge shoutout and thank you to Sarah Haislip owner of Huckleberry Hill Farm and Emily for getting their horses spiffed up for me!
