🏆 Jana Governale on A Lotta Loaded Guns:

- 3rd/6 in Reining 19 and Over (talk about a catch ride - I stepped on Trigger for the first time about 15 minutes before the class!!)

We all enjoy coming to show at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and the Autumn Classic is a great, relaxed show. We all had some great rides and made improvements along the way. Congratulations to all of our riders and their horses!!

Shout out to Olivia Schaule for showing the grit and determination of a true cowgirl today - she took a minor spill that we thought left her with a broken wrist. She insisted on wrapping it up and riding anyway - she laid down some nice rides despite the limitations and the pain!! Thankfully, after a doctor visit we’ve confirmed it’s only a major sprain 🙌🏻

May have taken a minute for the old man to knock the dust off, but we found our stride and started hitting a lick before the day was done 🥰

Had a great time at the 1st show of the Monster Mash Series with Dale County Saddle Club yesterday! Proud of our horses and riders 💕

It’s been a great season, Wally boy. I enjoyed every minute of it 💕

Thank you for the great rides and showing me the fun in horse showing again. It’s been a long time since I was able to step back into the pen! Forever thankful for great horses and even better friends

MKPH slipped up to Cloverdale, Indiana to compete at the IBHA World Show! This was Tuff’s first time ever competing and both Tuff and Savvy were good little citizens (for the most part - they are still babies 🤣)

Mary Kilpatrick and Smart Little Millie - 6th place in the 2yo Mares

Mary Kilpatrick and MK Navy Dunnit 95 - 4th place in Buckskin Bred Mares

Special shout out to Megan Dunn for being our groom, pack mule and whatever else we’ve needed from her on this trip! So thankful Megan tagged along 💕

We are so proud of our little fillies - they handled everything in stride and were so quiet and well behaved in their classes! We have had a blast!

Photo dump from our summer camps 2024 - we had such a great time! Lots of familiar faces returned to camp, but we made some new friends too. I love that these kids love our program so much that they keep coming back!

Thankful for great clients who encourage family and friends to attend, the new folks who find their way to our barn and find a home here, and most importantly, we are thankful for the saintly horses we have at MKPH 🥰

We enjoyed summer camp this year!

These 3 are still looking for their new pastures!

All have been ridden extensively by youth ranging from beginner to advanced in our program. These horses are competitively priced!
