IaAHA Fall Classic…super long show days but this was one for the record books. We ran out of room for all our ribbons! And we have never had so many first and second place ribbons. To say I am proud of these riders is an understatement. Not only did every horse and rider show well and leave it all in the ring, they also displayed great horsemanship, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Way to ride Team Menagerie!

Great sportsmanship at its finest!

Don't just show your kids the how people like Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles win gold, show your kids how they act when they don't. The U.S. gymnasts are putting on a clinic of how to be a great athlete. ⁠

Walterway’s Hit The Marc and Dreamacres Super Trouper enjoy a sunny play day in turnout after being at a show this last weekend. Especially after a long hot weekend at a show, it’s a good mental break for horses to play, stretch their legs and just get to be a horse.
