2024 OHIO STATE FAIR!
🍀 I am so proud of these four kiddos and how hard they work each and everyday with their horses. There was some pretty serious competition at this massive show, especially in the rail classes! So happy with this team and also happy this long hot week is finally finished.

🏆Blake and Skunk came home with some new hardware, winning Champion in Stakes Race and Reserve Champion in Pole Bending💪🏻 Love seeing my old man still kick butt and take names. Blake rides him very well and she has improved tremendously this year.

🎲Ava and Vegas placed 10th in a very serious costume contest. They competed in their first big Ranch classes and did a great job! They didn't score a top placing in either class but have made leaps and bounds in the short months they've been working together.

🔥RyLee and Reno had some BIG classes and unfortunately didn't pull a top placing either but Reno did very well handling such a big show with lots of commotion. They've also only been a team for a few short months! Excited to see what she can make of him.

🐴Reagan and Chance did wonderful in her Hunter classes. This was Reagan's first ever big dog show and she held her nerves together pretty well! Her and Chance make an excellent team and I'm so excited for their future.

🫡As always, big thank you to these parents who put their blood, sweat, time and funds into this passion their kids have! I love our barn family, we are blessed with an amazing support system. I am so proud of all of my kids and do boast about them but I really have to hand it to RyLee. She ALWAYS steps up when I can't be there. She was at the fairgrounds with me (and without me) every single day this week even though she only showed two of them. She is the first to help one of the other kids or their horse. She is always sharing her grooming equipment, show clothes and even tack without a second thought. And she does it with a smile! I am hard on her and push her to do a lot, but she takes it and pushes to the next level. This young lady is truly something special and we appreciate her greatly! Please enjoy my dump of some of my favorite pictures from this week.
