Next up Terry Thorson!

We were so thrilled when you asked us to get this filly ready for you. De De exceeded our expectations! Dealer Teluwut went Reserve in both the SSF and the BCF weanling filly halter class. She was so fun to fit and get ready. We can’t thank you enough Terry for trusting us with this filly!

Her future is so bright. We sure love her here! Thank you Terry.

Next in our series is the Kantaris family! We are so thankful you guys came into our lives.

Elena we have watched you learn and grow all year. We love your love for “spicy” horses, your kind heart, and thirst for knowledge. You have accomplished so much this year with each of your horses.

Highlights:
Impulse is in town - Iowa futurity maturity trail champion
Duns n Roses - Wisconsin Futurity trail champion
East world Junior WP Championship

So many great rides with all of these horses. We are so excited for you with your future baby Johnny! You guys will do great things.

Also, we can’t thank you guys enough for the opportunity to get Harley ready for the fall futurity! She gave me an amazing ride to be second in the WP. Thank you again for your trust this year and we look forward to next year.

Each year we do a segment thanking some of our customers leading up to Thanksgiving.

First up we would like to thank Tammy Virzi and Jackie Guthrie for trusting us with “Luke” this season. He has been a joy to train and prepare for you. Buckle Up Ladies had some big accomplishments this year:

3x Reserve Congress Champion
Reserve High Point 2 year old JPFC
2&3 year old HUS Youth Futurity Champion
International Futurity Champion
2x Reserve International Futurity Champion
BCF Super Pony
BCF Champion & Reserve

We’d also like to congratulate Brooke for her win with him at Congress. We appreciate you taking the reins and showing him so well. Luke is a special horse and we are grateful to get the opportunity to show him. Again thank you Tammy & Jackie!

Great end to the 2023 season!

We are so proud of the progress Elena Kantaris has made this year. She piloted Duns n Roses to a 1,1,4 in the junior WP today. This was a highlight of this show for me and how hard they worked all season. They improved at every show. She also showed Impulse is in Town and Hes Relativized this weekend. Way to go Elena! Harley and I were also high point 3 year old JPFC

Buckle Up Ladies had another great show ending up High Point JPFC 2 year old.

Stetson also got one last ride on Choco for the year. We are so thankful for all the support for our little Cowboy.

We look forward to another year
