🔷Jones Performance Horses🔷
🔳Congress 2023🔲
What an incredible 17 days in Columbus we had!
A Reserve Champion, multiple Top Fives, Top Tens and Fifteens, Finalists, rides that were so close to making the cut, and rides that were ones to learn from as well.
Above all of the medallions displayed on our stall front, this Congress was filled with compassion, drive, and the biggest amount of team work I’ve ever felt in my life. Everyone went above and beyond for each other to make sure each person had the best Congress experience possible. It was truly wonderful.
Our teams consisted of:
🔹Cheyenne Brand and Zig Me A Kiss
🔹Johanna Alley and Walkin To The Party and Red White N Blaze
🔹Ella Thompson and Invitedbywillynelson
🔹Emma Evitts and Sport Mode
🔹Martha Fabry and Lopen Assets
🔹Amanda Moore - McFadden and Movin On Up
🔹Levi Regelman and Blazing Britney
🔹Natalie Regelman and Born To Be Lopin
None of this could have been possible without some very important people by my side:
Laurie Jones… literally the woman of many hats. Ba**er, stall cleaner, chef, magnawaver, coach, make up artist and so much more. We would all be lost without you. Thank you is not enough for all that you do
Loretta Boyce… you made my life so much easier by always having everyone lunged and horses taken care of. Your pep talks for the clients were inspirational, and we couldn’t have survived without you. If I don’t say it enough, thank you for knowing what I want, before I even say it.
Jeff Jones… for helping unload/ put up/ tear down our display and driving horses back and forth with me. As well as running both feed mills and doing chores at night while we’re away all the time. We couldn’t do what we do without you!
Cheyenne Brand… always making sure I don’t need something, needing a horse taken out, running to the other end of the pen when someone is showing. A true role model for the younger kiddos. My right hand gal 💙
Hannah Johnson, Marsha Stanhope, Teresa Reeher, Sutherlyn Hollabaugh for keeping the horses and barn rolling while we were gone. It was great to know I didn’t need to worry for a second while we were away!
Thank you Marsha for accompanying Nena Karlene Kidwell Reimer down for a few days to visit with us and enjoy the congress for a few days!
As always, we love being stalled with Claypool Ranch, Matt Claypool, Cami Whitlatch Claypool 💙
A great big thank you to GameTime Equine Sports Medicine, Dr Brad Cumper, Samantha Black, for keeping our horses feeling their best throughout the Congress!
Our farrier, Justin Palmer who works tirelessly all year also keeping our horses comfortable and feeling their best
Congratulations Molly McElrath on her purchase of Lazy Like! Thank you Maryah Cugno for an easy and simple transaction
I’m sure I forgot to thank someone in some way… but I am so thankful for so many people who help us get to this point!
I’m happy to say I have ALL my laundry done, the trailers are 95% unpacked, and life is good 😊
