SS Show Horses

07/22/2024

We had a great week at Region 6 Super Six! We added some new events, ate well, made some new friends, caught up with a few we haven’t seen in a bit, came home with multiple regional champions, reserve champions, circuit champions, top 5s, top 10s and a top 5 in the Youth Team Tournament.

We’d like to thank Marge, Andy, Michele and everyone who puts so much into making this show one of our favorites, our amazing horse show moms who keep everyone well fed and hydrated, Bri Start for all her help on the horse care side of things, Kaylee Chai who keeps things running smoothly at home, and our wonderful customers!

Anna purchased this wicked legged filly fresh out of the field a few weeks ago and we couldn’t be more pleased with her rising to the occasion and acting like a show horse! So excited for their future!

Home to rest and repack for a few days and we’re off to Region 6!

Alex has some drop in lesson dates she would like to fill! Check the comments for dates and times! A nice opportunity to give her program a try before committing to a session!

Thanks Sarah, Kellie, Nicole, Jennifer and Dee for joining us to kick off our First Ladies Night!! We’re so happy you all could join us! We’d love to hear your feedback - what did you love, what would you like to see changed in the future, what could you do without? Comment, DM us or reach out to Alex Annette or Lauren directly if you prefer!

We have a few Ladies Nights planned for Feb that are mostly booked but we have a few truck in spots available and maybe one or two more spots for those who prefer to use a lesson horse.

March and April dates are in the works! Annette has some limited availability for truck ins lessons and lessons on our horses when she is here with us twice a month, and Alex has some slots she’d like to fill as well. Get in touch if you missed out on Ladies night but want to come ride!

Big thank you to Alex for all the scheduling and coordination, Annette for putting on a great lesson, and working student Evalina for jumping in wherever needed to help everyone!
