We had the privilege of attending the MHJA banquet last night where SEVEN of our show team members were recognized for their show successes during the 2023-2024 season. Addison, Lyla, Lisa, Evie, Kylie, Avonlea, and Norah are the embodiments of the words strength, perseverance, sportsmanship, and commitment. To our team- it was an honor to celebrate your achievements last night, and we can’t wait to see you do it all again this year!

APPRECIATION POST: Super thankful for our dedicated Pony Palooza team for stepping up and putting in the extra work while I am tied up fixing our lack of water at the barn! From filling buckets from totes to replenishing water totes, thank you to Dawn, Casey, Kaycee, Hannah, Devon, Ava, Evelyn for all your extra help with the horses and barn!

Thank you to our wonderful Valley family & neighbors for always being willing to help each other out! Thank you to Torre Excavation for coordinating and digging for us! Thank you to my husband for putting in the extra work to get this in the ground and lower my stress levels not having running water for our horses currently. And lastly thank you to my parents for basically living here this week to help with Miss Makenzi ❤️

Enjoy our progress photos as we keep working today in hopes of getting running water back to the barn by Tuesday 🤞
