šŸ”„ 2024 Gypsy Nationals is a wrap šŸ”„

Horsecreek Gypsyā€™s AD Acres Finvara has blown me away with how much progress he has made since we picked him up back in march! The difference from his first event at the MN Horse Expo in April til Gypsy Vanner Nationals this past weekend is unbelievable, and sometimes I question if I even have the same horse. This weekend, Boo gave me 110% effort in everything we did, and I couldnā€™t have been more proud of him! After winning two classes on Boo at congress, I made a goal of winning three down at nationals, and I am thrilled to say that we met that goal ā¤ļø

And that was without getting to ride in some of our best classes. Unfortunately Boo came up off on our last day, so we had to sit out on some of our best classes until we figured out what was going on. Somehow he managed to get a bruised frog overnight. Huge thank you to Matt with Ranch Gypsy.Ranch.Horses who came to the rescue and got a shoe on Boo so he was comfortable again. We got cleared to go back in and finished out the show with the most perfect class weā€™ve ever had together. Hopefully he heals quickly, and heā€™ll get some much deserved time off now that show season is over.

This entire show season was possible because of all the help, support and guidance from many others, but first and foremost Horsecreek Gypsyā€™s. It has been an honor showing with them this year and getting to watch Savanna even and improve in all her classes and do so well with both of her horses. Now Iā€™m exited to switch gears, get ready for winter, and spend some time getting the next group of by babies going for next year.

I needed another horse as much as I need a bullet to the head, BUTā€¦ā€¦ I think this one just has to stay ā¤ļø

Iā€™m still not sure what direction my life will go, but i just canā€™t get enough of these Iberian horses. So soft, solid, and willing.

My last scheduled clinic of the year in Wichita, KS is full! If youā€™re looking to attend or host a clinic next year, shoot me a message.

Clinics are a great place to get started with tricks and liberty, or the perfect setting for more inspiration, how to achieve greater levels and teach even more things.

In addition to Liberty and Trick Training clinics, I will also be offering Intro to Mounted Shooting clinics as well. I canā€™t wait to see what next year has in store!

Iā€™m still at a loss for wordsā€¦ on more than one end of the spectrum.

Anyone whoā€™s been in the horse industry for long enough knows that horses are an emotional roller coaster. The highs can be really high and the lows can be really low.

Iā€™ve never done a big sale like this before, and I was really trying hard not to have expectations of what would happen there. I know there were numbers in my head, but what happened did not come close to what I was expecting.

Selling horse in the six figures was a bucket list thing that I didnā€™t think I would be able to achieve for quite some time. I would have been thrilled if Kit made it over $50,000ā€¦. But when the number kept going up, I was left in disbelief. And up, and up, and sold at $120,000. I am so happy to know that she found such an incredible home, and is headed to Long Island, New York where Iā€™ll get to go see her and teach her new owner all about liberty stuff! I cannot wait to see their journey together.

Finn on the other hand didnā€™t bring near anything that I believe he was worth. Itā€™s so disappointing to see all the time, effort, energy, and expense not have any return sometimes. Even worse, leave you in the negative. People ask all the time what I think a horse is worth, and my most spoken answer is ā€œwhatever someone is willing to payā€. Itā€™s brutal but at the end of the day, itā€™s the truth. If you want job security, the horse industry isnā€™t where you should be looking. At least he also went to amazing people who will love and appreciate him for everything he has to offer, and thatā€™s all that really matters ā¤ļø Hind sight is 20/20, and I know there were certainly some regrets around how things panned out.

It was certainly an experience of a lifetime to go through all of this with both of them. I couldnā€™t have asked for better horses to see through something like this. I will miss both of them being in my barn and all the fun they brought to my place and those who rode them. I will forever be grateful for all the teachings that Kit gave me as we were learning new things and new maneuvers together, and I canā€™t wait to take another horse even further. But right now, Iā€™ll just miss my girl.

Life sure is a ride, but I couldnā€™t do it without the people who have been along with me for all of it too. Hereā€™s to learning, growing, and progressing šŸ„‚

We are all settled in at USET Foundation Inc. for the Best of the West Horses sale this Saturday in Gladstone NJ!

Iā€™m already missing my precious KitKat but I know sheā€™ll make someoneā€™s dreams come true.

Finn has also been a rockstar, and I canā€™t wait to see what the future has in store for them!

And the 2024 Gypsy Congress is a wrap!

I went down with the goal of at least winning one class on each of the boys, and they did not disappoint! They were definitely dragging by the end but they both did so well.

Boo won the In Hand Jr Horse Trail along with the Novice Horse Western Pleasure šŸ˜

And Finn won the Open Second Level Dressage and Open Level 2 Western Dressage classes ā¤ļø

Along with MANY Reserve placing for both boys. Super proud of how far theyā€™ve both come in their first year showing.

I certainly couldnā€™t have donā€™t it alone, huge thank you to my Mom, Jeff, Jacob, and the McClungs who worked all weekend long to keep everyone running smoothly!

There are NOT very many three year olds that make me feel this safe, less than a week after the first ride. This guy certainly is special. If youā€™re looking for your next partner, he is available! 3 years old going on 10 years old kind of personally. If I listed all the things I liked about him, weā€™d be here all day. Smooth, solid, and the most willing horse you could ask for.

šŸ’„New fear unlocked!!!šŸ’„

I know weā€™ve all been made aware of making sure our latigo and off billet arenā€™t frayed or cracked but has anyone seen this happen? šŸ‘€ the metal piece of my professional choice cinch literally snapped out of the blue. About 25 minutes into an arena ride, just loping around. Nothing happened, but when that snapped she was not a fan and started bucking. I luckily was able to get her under control and get off before anything worse happened. I may be rethinking my choice on this brand of cinch.

Has anyone else had this happen?!

I donā€™t ride with very tight cinches either so I have no idea what would have caused thisā€¦.
