Snowman update! I was working with him in the round pen last week and he started to get sore moving around. After a trip to the vet we found that a ganglion cyst was the problem! After a successful surgery getting it removed, he has a two week rest period. He’s been so good getting his bandage changed! He’s such a smart and sweet guy taking it all in stride! Little setbacks can suck but we’ll be back to work before we know it!

We would like to welcome Snowman!⛄️
Snowman is from the Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society. He was part of a large horse seizure last October. He is now our partner for the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge! For the next few months, Snowman will be rehabbed and trained. Then, in October we will go to the Bluebonnet Horse Expo where we will compete against other horses from BBEHS. After the competition, Snowman will be available for adoption! Keep an eye out for more updates on this sweet boy! He will have his own page soon so you can follow his progress!

🔥WE DID IT!🔥
This post is a bit late but we finally got the pictures! We completed the Snaffle Bit Futurity and I’m so proud of this girl! We had a great time and learned so much. To have bred, raised and trained a horse like this is a dream come true. But to say I did It alone would be a lie. I have had so many people help coach and support me along the way that some shoutouts are in order:

To Richard Winters, Sarah Murphey, Cody Patterson, Emily Patterson and Bob Mallory
Thank you so much for all of your coaching and helping us get through our first year in our cowhorse journey!

To Dr. Ali Broyles and all of the wonderful vets and techs at ESMS for keeping Sofia in top shape!

To Chris Dawson, Lee Deacon, Kyle Noyce and Erin Toarmino for being amazing herd help and giving some great advice after a tough time at the Pre futurity!

And finally, to my wonderful family. My parents Mark and Pattey and my brothers Andy and Nick. You’ve had my back and encouraged me every step of the way. There aren’t any words to describe how much it means to me! So thank you for everything you have done. ❤️

We can’t wait for the next show season!Look out 2024 because here we come!
