Really busy day here at Rising J yesterday full of lessons and a McLennan County 4-H Horse Judging practice before our major competition at Ft. Worth this Tuesday at the Stock Show!

Another day of these dedicated kids showing up and giving their all despite the freezing cold and windy weather. So proud of them all for all they put in to everything they do with the horses, and how supportive they all are to eachother.

We are so blessed with this amazing group 💖

(Oh and don’t forget the team building experience of picking up rocks together out of the arena 😉🤠)

There’s just something about those sunset lessons that make the perfect ending to the day!

Great day of lessons!

It may have been a little wet out there after all the rain, but for how much rain we have had the arena wasn’t bad! So grateful just to have one at all!

Dalton gave everyone homework today, to come back to their next lesson with a definition of “soft feel”, how and why we use it, and tell us some of the biggest trainers in the horse industry who have made it a staple of their programs! 🤠

A show of progress, a little pick me up on this cold, wet, gloomy Texas day.

2025 is going to be our year, for everyone here at Rising J ☀️

Thank you Clint Oliver CF and Juli Snelson for all your help today to get this accomplished!

I am beyond proud of this team for pushing through the harsh weather conditions during our IEA practice yesterday! And a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this practice a reality. We are truly grateful for everyone's positive attitudes, parents included, which made all the difference despite the cold and wind. This team embodies the true spirit of resilience, determination, and heart. And we are all looking forward to our next IEA show!
