This was our first time co-hosting a show this size, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Halvorson Ranch and SPW Equestrians for being such amazing partners. The horses were incredible, the prizes were fantastic, and the show ran like clockwork thanks to everyone’s teamwork. We couldn’t have asked for better co-hosts — and we can’t wait to do it again next year!

A big thank you to Color Breed Congress for allowing us to host our show at such an incredible event and for providing the best awards. It was so special for our riders to receive Color Breed Congress medals — something they’ll remember and cherish forever. We’re already looking forward to making next year’s show even bigger and better!

Thank you to Grace Callan for being the best scribe ever and continuing to support her old team — you’ll always be a part of Rising J!

And finally, thank you to every parent and family member who came out and makes this team feel like a true family every single show.

💛 The theme of this weekend was gratitude — and we’re feeling it in every way! 💛

Our Rising J celebrity, Grace Callan, took a little break from her busy college life at Texas A&M to join us in Oklahoma with her old IEA team! 💕

Grace jumped at the incredible opportunity to scribe for our shows this weekend, and we couldn’t be happier to have her back with us — right where she belongs. 😉

We’re so proud of her for continuing to stay involved and give back to the program that helped shape her as a rider and teammate. It means the world to see her still cheering on Rising J and helping the next generation of riders grow. 🤠🩷
