What a year for Remi- we didn’t start the year aiming for any year-end standings, but Remi had other plans for her first year in the stock horse pen! This mare has grown to be so special to all of us, she loves to horse show & is as consistent as they come. A huge thank you to the Parker family for trusting the program every step of the way this past year. Big things ahead for this team 🤩

We have officially survived The Great Arctic Blast 🥶

A huge thank you to our barn staff (& a few horses who thought they were being helpful) who spent the week tirelessly busting frozen buckets & making sure our horses were warm, watered, & fed. It was not an easy week on any of us! We are certainly looking forward to warmer weather & spring horse shows ☀️

Huge weekend for Remi!! This mare has developed into such a solid mount for the ranch horse events throughout the year, she steps off the trailer ready to go to work & has gotten better every show. We are so proud to see her come out on top of two very talented groups of youth & open horses. Big thank you to the Parker family for trusting the process every step of the way!

It takes a very special young horse (this guy is only 5!) to make a full fence run in the open, then turn around & teach a rookie youth the ropes of the boxing in the same day & Bo**er definitely proved he is worth his weight in gold. We are so excited to watch this team grow together!!
