Baby Gia is doing phenomenal! We can’t thank all of you enough for every prayer, every comment, and every single sweet message you have sent! We love and appreciate all of you. Thankful every day that God allowed her to stay on earth with us ❤️
We have been very busy creating the most precious moments with this little girl! We are addicted to her!
The end of summer is such a fun time around here! Aleah has been dying to go around the barrels since the day I met her. Although she has gotten to walk them before, today was her day to add some speed!!!
She’s been working hard for the past two summers to get to this point. Balance and control of her pony at all three gaits. Plus moving to her new ride, Splash, who is a much bigger challenge to ride.
So proud of you Aleah! The next generation of barrel racers, coming right up! 🐎❤️
Congratulations to the Grove family on such a special day! CeCe and Trigger are all settled in at home! There is no better feeling than to have them in your very own backyard ❤️
Hope everyone is having a great summer so far! ☀️
Our year might not be looking “normal” around here, but it actually has been nice to lay low and focus on other arenas of our life. Both personal and for the Ranch.
Riding isn’t in any of our daily routines currently, so when we get to go it always feels a bit more magical 💛
Here’s the scoop for 2021
All is good, but some big changes!
It was such a beautiful day here in Michigan yesterday!
The horses, and cows too surprisingly, all got a good brushing
And I got some much needed mental happiness
🧡
I’m not sure who was made for who here
But I haven’t been this obsessed with a horse in a long time
She is all of my past favorite horses wrapped up into one
And she gives the best kisses!
🧡
Hope you all get to do something you love this week!
Wendy had a very long summer. She worked hard and loved little kids everyday. Even the bigger kids when their confidence was lacking. Those of you missing her, she is enjoying a very well deserved winter break with lots of naps in the sunshine 💛
This is why I love giving our horses the winter months off. They truly appreciate it and enjoy a vacation as much as we do!
First lope around the arena
Nala came in a few weeks ago to be broke out. She has been doing great under saddle! One more week of fine tuning and then her owners get to give it a go!
One of my favorite parts of training is getting to watch the first ride between an owner and their horse
