So a little late I apologize but the team wrapped up 2024 show season at the All American Buckskin Congress. What an amazing way to end the season!
Abigail Bates and One Perfect Krymsun. These two were a new team this year and man they have come far. I love the dedication and commitment to learn I see in her and can’t wait to watch her continue to grow in her horsemanship. I never doubt when I give this team something to work on that they will tackle it with everything they have. They acquired multiple reserve championships and I couldn’t be more proud.
Sophia Gibbs and Face It I’m W***y Good. It was so amazing to have this team out for a second year. The hard work behind the scenes is paying off. I saw so much growth in Sophia and Waylon this year. I have watched this team struggle through tears and frustration, step back and look at the positives and then turn around and rock out some amazing patterns. I know god put this horse in Soph’s life to teach her very valuable lessons and it’s been fun watching it happen. With lots of placings this year the two ended up Reserve Champion in both the horsemanship and equitation. Baby Boy horse will no longer be a junior horse next year maybe his new name should be Old Man horse 😜
Ava Nunn and Bet Ur Coat N Assets. If you could have told me three years ago when I offered Ava a lease on Sage what kind of team they would have become I wouldn’t have believed it. Watching them grow these last couple years and wrap up her youth career with multiple Grand Championships couldn’t have been a more perfect way to end it. I am beyond sad to see it end but I know great things are waiting for Ava in her future and that she will always have the lessons that Sage gave her to use in other aspects of her life. And I know horses will be in her future again someday and I am beyond blessed that I got to be a part of this chapter.
Maeve Wingle and Full of Blessings. Though these two did not make it to buckskin Congress this year due to reasons outside of our control I wanted to give them a shout out. This year has definitely not been the season any of us had hoped for. This girls determination and drive to do what she loves amazes me every time I see her ride. I hope she never loses that no matter how much the world tries to bring her down. These two are going to come back strong next year and I can’t wait to watch it happen.
