Introducing the handsome guy in the first picture is Baker, he’s a OTTB, super sweet and here for 30 days! He’s owned by my good friend Alexis Schmidt.

That being said, I am very pleased to announce that we are completely full until late March/early April! We currently have 7 in training, and 2 reserved spots for February (plus my 2 additional stinkers). God has truly been good, I am exited to see things grow around here.

What a good show season! Maggie and Maverick really took home the gold (and other goodies ❤️). It was bitter sweet as this was the last season with Maggie (Sparkles Magic) after 2 1/2 years of showing her, but that means it’s time for my dear friend Carol Park DeWitt to take the reins ☺️ This season Maggie won the Western Pleasure High Point Champion, Maverick won reserve champion in Open Ranch Pleasure and Champion in the Timed Adult events.

I am so proud of these kiddos, it’s been a pleasure riding them, over the past few years Maggie and I have won the CHSA WP Championship twice, several other reserve titles and overall has shined as a show horse. Unfortunately I can’t be selfish with her and can’t wait to see how well she does in the future.

You guys have seen this handsome man before! I’m very excited to know that Theo has joined us for some on-site training! Theo was the first Arabian I’ve ever started under saddle, and he has given me such a good feel for this breed! He is kind, he is brave, and I can’t wait to help him go farther in his education!

First show for JD (High Imma James Dean)! Not bad for a solo trip! He was a little anxious when we first got there but he settled in nicely.

Lots of fun at the Fountain Inn Christmas Parade! Horses were all well behaved which made for a good time for everyone (especially since it was estimated to have about 5 thousand people!) and great exposure for the few youngsters at their first parade.

Congratulations to Grace on her purchase of Grace! This mare was such a joy to train and had come so far since August, this probably the most perfect match I’d ever seen!! Happy Trails to Grace and Grace!
