We had such a great time yesterday at Jen Baltrus’s Freedom Run Schooling Show! It’s so nice to have some affordable schooling options for our green horses and riders! All 5 horses were well behaved with both Borgo (ridden by myself) and Nova (ridden by Aaron Randall) competed for the first time and went around like they have done it all before, placing 6th and 5th! Maple (ridden by Lizzie) and Royce (ridden by Rylee) came home with a 2nd, 3rd and 1st respectively. Baila (ridden by Samy) went around for the first time in 6 months and ended up 3rd. And Shannon rode both her horses, who were not necessarily cooperative, for good prep for Las Cruces this weekend.
Thank you Adrian M. Flores at Adrian M. Flores Photography for your time and the pictures!!

Ok guys now that they are done and I have examples, here is the official invite to order your own badge shirt! Join the team and buy yourself a shirt, and start earning badges!! I do have to charge a yearly $20 fee for them to account for the paper and time involved but these have turned out great and are super fun!! (Some examples of the badges as well)
