Hey TwH friends, I have a dear friend looking for a trail mount. I am looking for her so it’s going to meet all of her requirements before I bring it to her.
MUST be a gelding under 15.1. My friend is an excellent rider but she is an older lady that wants something that is a great package - great gait, pretty, sweet, and trail broke. I know EXACTLY what she wants and she has time to look and money to spend for the right horse. Please don’t message me with great trail broke horses that are 15.2. I know this horse is out there and I’ll find him. Thanks for your suggestions and we look forward to hearing from you. 🙏🏼❤️

My first year ever not to get to ride at the International. I will be there cheering for all of you. It’s going to be a magnificent show and I can’t wait.

I am most excited for this guy. He’s coming to the International with BJ Richards and has been collecting blue ribbons in yearling classes everywhere. IYKYK.

Hey guys, what crafts or art do you make that revolves around horses? Elaine Kapinos makes horse shoe beaded sun catchers and Christmas decorations. I am looking for some individuals that may want to be featured on a page for Equestrian art, jewelry, paintings, etc. Lmk.

We had a great 2021 National! Came home with a bunch of blue ribbons - A Regional Grand Championship unanimously, 2 Grand Championships one on Sniper with me and one on Caroline with Bobby. Mikal rode Teddy to a win in ba****ck and Sushi was reserve twice. The icing on the cake was a beautiful reserve in the Best of Show with Bobby and Caroline in a packed deep class absolutely full of the shows best horses. It was the best Best in Show yet and I loved cheering for my friends and trainer. To have a horse be in the top 10, let alone a top 5, we had our work cut out for us but getting a second place in that class was like winning the Kentucky Derby for my Dad and I. Caroline just sparkled extra bright and we were so excited to be in this class and get 2nd next to our sister barn Dickie Gardner Stables and Master Cruiser. Congratulations to all!!!!

“Sniper” - Black Ops and I taking a unanimous blue ribbon ride at the 2021 National Grand Championships in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
This filly is without a doubt one of the most fun horses to ride. She’s like driving a little sports car. Hard to believe she is only 4 and so solid in everything she does. Next year she will be cantering and doing 360’s.

Almost time everyone!!!!

Good luck to everyone and safe travels! ❤️

2020 ended last year for us at the National championships with a huge bang. Sniper, Caroline and Sushi ALL brought home many National Championships and several Grand Championships. My horses completely outdid themselves and tried so very hard for us. They gave their all and I am so proud of them. We had such an amazing show and the crescendo of it all was “Sniper” - Gens Black Ops, and I winning the Best of Show out of 16 fabulous horses and riders that I love and admire. This was the absolute highest of my entire equestrian career and I will remember it and treasure it for the rest of my life. 🙏🏼❤️

The horses all had a nice long winter break. And show season started back up on March 6th in Shelbyville at the beautiful Pleasant Valley Farms. Anxious to get back in the saddle I brought Caroline to show under the new direction of BJ Richards. We had two fantastic blue ribbon rides and most importantly we added a beautiful rocking chair canter to our arsenal. This show really cemented the fact that Caroline and I are really coming together as a team.

May 1st Dad and I ventured out to a fun new show with The C**t Center in Festus, Missouri. The WHOA Rumble on the River show proved to be a huge success for the barn and the Hot Topic mares. We took both Sniper and Caroline and both came home with numerous first and second place ribbons. I got to see an absolutely beautiful part of our country, make new friends and cut up with some amazing people that I don’t see near enough!!!

Today Dad and I are driving home from another great show adventure in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We took both Sniper and Caroline and both horses showed their very best. Caroline swept the lite shod division and went undefeated at this show and bonus: she and I showed one handed western for the first time! Sniper was absolutely flawless and took BJ and I both on phenomenal rides but she was not the judges favorite. Nonetheless she was a crowd favorite and worked exceptionally great and made me super proud. She is so much fun to ride and looks great in both English and Western. I want to work on my leg cues and my transitions for our next show and I’m looking forward to cantering Caroline at our next big show.
Here’s a few videos of our year so far. Thank you for your support and encouragement. I have the very best show horses I have ever had in my life right now. I have had some great ones in my time and feel very blessed to have them all. My equestrian journey has been amazing, most importantly because I have my Dad by my side and the tutelage of great peers and trainers. ❤️❤️❤️

This herd right here. They very much keep to themselves. I think somehow that they know they are a family and they are related. Stella, second from the left is the matriarch of the herd. She is the mother of Max on the left and Groovy Dude who is next to Stella on the other side. Norma, the mare on the right end, is Groovy Dude’s sister. I love this picture. They are all creeping up in age and almost geriatric so I really treasure these quiet moments with them learning their body movements as language to one another. They stood here together for almost 7 minutes while I talked to them and snapped my pictures. Be still my heart. 💜
