We had a great time at the 2024 Brave Horse Ohio awards banquet. Only a few of us made the drive down, but it was worth it! Great food, beautiful venue and hospitality.
Congratulations to all the Empire riders and horses on a very successful 2024 season.
And a belated but heartfelt thank you for honoring me with the 2024 trainer of the year award.

Congratulations to all the Empire riders who showed off their skills in our second 2024 school show. Everyone rode great! And we all had a ton of fun. And the team challenge had a great “victory gallop” 🤣
