I don't have any photos yet, but I am so excited to announce won our division (by a small margin, came in second, but I thought for sure they were going to take it because they were amazing) and came in third for high point team! I also can officially say Dice is mine and we are heading home as I won his bid!

Huge congratulations to all the trainers at the Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge this year. Having been a part of 2 now as a trainer and a third behind the scenes, this was the best year yet, and everyone did so well!

Also thank you to all the volunteers and spectators who came out, braved the awful heat and supported the horses, trainers and the rescue! Without you all this program couldn't be what it is.

I'm sure I will have lots of photos in the next few weeks from Spenser Pederson who is always carving out beautiful memories of all the little moments that go into the showdown (and all the other events)

Thank you to my sponsors and helpers:

Elizabeth Woolfrey for sponsoring Dice's full training period

Equine Essence Horsemanship & Bodywork for giving Dice his first (of many) massages to be in peak condition for the weekend, and assisting me with him when I needed an extra set of hands

Shawn Schilling of Windance Farm for the support and use of her facility

What an amazing weekend!! 🎉 I know you are all patiently waiting for results and photos, but hope you enjoyed the live streams! 📸

Tiffany is traveling tonight to attend a retreat with our partner rescues in the Full Circle of Life Horse Shelter Network and will be away from the internet much of the week ... but we will try to get things updated as quickly as possible. For now, how about the placements? 🏆

2024 Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge
High Point Grand Champion: Terra & Annika Greaney of Line Equestrian!! 🥇
High Point Reserve Champion (by less than 1 point): Horace and Bryan Roselles!! 🥈

Showcase Division:
1st place: Terra & Annika Greaney 🥇
2nd place: Horace and Bryan Roselles 🥈
3rd place: Hazel & Jade Thompson 🥉
4th place: Albert and Tim Van D**e 🏅
5th place: Luna and Stetsen Fedders 🎖️

Foundation Division:
1st place: Dice & Mackenzie Barnett 🥇
2nd place: Cinna & Jay Westerbur 🥈
3rd place: Jabberwocky & Beth Stahlecker 🥉
4th place: Kodi & Kaylee Peel 🏅
5th place: Smokey & Kaylee Peel 🎖️
6th place: Lucy & Kaylee Peel 🏅

Lucy did not compete in freestyles as we are having some medical concerns and Kaylee felt it was in her best interest not to compete. Also, remember Kodi was Long Haul and was not expected to compete, and Smokey just got to Kaylee 6 weeks ago - so they made amazing progress!

And of course, our Rising Star Marlee Stortroen with Navy did very well! 🌟 Had she been competing in Foundation, they would have been around third! 🎉

So far Horace, Dice, Jabberwocky, Terra, Albert, and Navy have been adopted! 🎊 Dice and Jabberwocky went home with their trainers!!

Let's find homes for the rest in the next 30 days! 🐴❤️

Your 2024 Dakota Showdown Reserve Champion, by a margin of less than 1 point, was Horace and the amazing Bryan Roselles!...
