We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing of Aspen - ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ꜱʜᴀᴅᴇꜱ ᴏꜰ ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ 💐 She was a phenomenal filly from the very beginning with a tremendous future ahead of her. We are extremely grateful to have a known her and play a small part in her successful but her unfortunate short show career.

💕🙏 Arnell Ernst

A little late but it's been a whirlwind of a week. Thank you to the entire Futurity Committee, Sponsors and to everyone who played a part on making this POAC International Futurity Show a fun one. This post is a little long but I think it's fun to share a little background as each horse has their own story.

Barry -> You exceeded all of our expectations this year. Your first season under saddle and at only four shows exhibited you won around $2,000 (excluding all Halter winnings). A big thank you to Emma Kessler for being a huge part of this early success. Barry is easily the laziest horse any of us have riden and it was trial and error with how much warm up he needed, etc. At the Congress Barry was phenomenal with Eva Dahl & Emma and then came his last class, the JPFC 3 YO HUS he had nothing left in the tank. It became about redemption (for Kim) when the futurity rolled around. All we wanted and hoped for was to get him around the pen without stalling out. We achieved this and so much more and it took A LOT of LEG, like a crazy amount of leg 🤣 Good Boy Barrylicious 💙

Aspen-> You were to come to us late July, but then there was a minor incident and you just needed some time....so, we picked you up on Sept. 3rd, which left us about 2 1/2 weeks to get you fit for the BCF Weanling Filly Halter class. Arnell Ernst, you did an amazing job getting her prepared to come here which made the job handling and fitting her so much easier. She quickly became a favorite and we look forward to the future 🤩

Thank you MN POAC for a fun show this past weekend. We ALWAYS enjoy showing in Winona and we LOVE your showbill! Thank you Melissa for bringing back the MN POA Futurity, you did an excellent job 👏 🤩 & to Heather, we love being able to pre-enter online, you're so organized it definitely makes checkout painless 🤣

Congratulations Eva Dahl on earning your first High Point Buckle with Parker. You two are a fun team to watch and you're making huge strides at each show!

Well, this young lady did it again.....Emma Kessler and Barry won the 3 YO HUS Futurity 💕 Emma, Barry loves you, we all love you!!! Thank you for riding him this summer and we hope you may want to ride him in 2024 😁

Thank Courtney and Sara for helping us out and catch riding Barry in the JPFC classes. You both did a wonderful job 🥰🎉

We didn't take any pictures, thankfully

Our summer was a bit different than usual as we took on new goals and work towards new opportunities. We are grateful that Tina Langness Show Horses entrusted us with "All Good Vibes" to prepare her for NSBA Worlds. Lockett is a remarkable Yearling and we cannot wait to see her under saddle.

Still on cloud nine from this day and special moment. We are so proud of you Emma & thank you Eva for trusting us with Barry 😍

Now that we're somewhat rested...What a show our two horses had and they surpassed all of our expectations! We honestly didn't expect all of this as we have been taking it slow with Barry and this was only his second show under saddle. He handled 4 different riders and the workload like a champ (literally 🤩). What can we say about Parker, he is a 4 YO with a brain of a 2 YO and he is the friendliest goober you'll ever meet 😂 and he rode so smoothly in every class.

Eva Dahl, you handled unnecessary stress on Day 1, 113 degree heat, 2 young ponies, 3 horses to ride, a million patterns and you conquered! Hard work pays off and we're proud of you!

Emma we are still struggling to find all the right words to capture what you all accomplished this past week but THANK YOU! Thank you for always being up to show our ponies & willing to take on new challenges. The look on your face when we all asked you if you wanted to show Barry in the Trout, was pure joy. You were so excited for the opportunity and our only request was for you to go have FUN! I'm guessing you did since you had a beautiful ride and you were the last one standing in the arena. We are so proud of you and blessed to call you all our friends.
