This group at the Franch had a great time showing through Working Horse Central with Tarrin Warren. It was fun and different getting to show virtually at your own barn. Several of us would not have been able to go to an in-person show for various reasons and it gave us an opportunity to enjoy competition with our horses that we would not have otherwise had. We all not only enjoyed the competition, it was a learning and growth opportunity for us. We all picked up some new skills and improved our relationship with our horses. Congratulations to everyone who attended last year on your accomplishments! We look forward to more virtual showing in 2025!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year 2025 Everyone! Better late than never with the Santa pics! Thank you to the team behind the scenes making these pictures happen… it definitely looks easier than you think. I wish we could’ve brought everyone in to meet Santa Claus, but there was a torrential downpour that day. Anyway, as you can tell some horses were more excited than others to meet this 8 ft tall guy. 🤣😂

This has been such a hard post to write. Dear sweet Touch passed away this past week. He lived a wonderful life and we had just celebrated his 36th Birthday. Touch was so near and dear to many of us out here. Lisa Carter and Touch came to the Franch 20+ years ago. And, he actually was the first horse to be boarded out here. Touch was one of the sweetest horses I’ve ever known. He did not have a mean bone in his body. We will all miss him dearly. RIP dear sweet Touch! You will live in our hearts forever. 💔🐴

Happy birthday to Simon Templar!!! 🐴🎂🥳 He's 27 years old today and still going strong. He is the tallest horse at the Franch standing in at 17.2 hands. He has competed in everything under the sun from Fox Hunting, Dressage, Jumping, Eventing, Extreme Cowboy Racing, American Competitive Trail Horse Riding, Working Equatation, Team Penning and Team Sorting. Simon is the perfect all-around horse. Also, he is one of the sweetest horses and a true definition of a gentle giant! Y’all make a beautiful pair Sharon Miesen! We love you Simon!

These two make it hard to ride by the mounting block and not get a little distracted and crack up. 🤣🐱🐱😆
