We are inviting all of our lesson kids to come eat some yummy food & receive an award from Lauren and I! Whether or not you are interested in participating in the mini show, please join us for the pot luck!

Moving forward, we have decided to place students in a 4D format. Meaning there will be 4 divisions to place into and 4 1st place winners. This will give more opportunity for everyone to win. Please feel free to message me for more details if you are unsure how this works.

If anyone is new to our lesson program or wanting to get involved, please message us and let us know. We would love to have you join us November 11th at 4pm!

Thank you all so much for coming yesterday! Lauren and I had a blast. We are so proud of every single one of the riders and all the progress they have made. They are all wonderful riders and do so well riding the many different horses we have to offer. We planned on this being the last show of the year but we had so much fun that we are in the works planning more holiday events! We are learning a lot & our goal is to make each event better than the last one.

Thank you to all the volunteers that helped us yesterday. We know everyone put a lot of effort, money and time into the costume contest. The costumes were EPIC! Here are some of the best photos I got yesterday 🙂

✨🌟STUDENT OF THE MONTH🌟✨
Lauren & I will be picking a lesson student each month to recognize based on their growth, character and attitude ! This month we decided to pick Lyla! Lyla has been with us since the very beginning. She has grown from a lesson student to a horse owner & gritty, tough barrel racer. Her confidence in the arena is unmatched. Lyla and Sister make a great team especially around the barrels. We are SO incredibly proud of her & all of her accomplishments. Recently she has purchased one of the fan favorites, Max!! She also moved Sister and Max to her property where she gets to watch her babies graze from her window! We are so excited for this new chapter with Lyla, Sister & Max. We can’t wait to keep watching you succeed in this life long sport ♥️🛢️🐎
