We have shared so much all year about those who have shown, but we don't want to forget those currently behind the scenes.
Penny Swearingin and Smart Chex SF were only able to show once or twice mostly because of sheep being born lol, but they have grown to become a good team, developing trust and confidence in each other, we look forward to them joining us at more shows this year!
Sandra and Mike Fossano made a few changes over the year, but they both grew tremendously after beginning training with us in the middle of the year. We look forward to what Sandy and her new horse Sailin Jacd Up accomplish this year, and seeing what their futurity prospect Ruf And You Like It develops into!
Audrey Barnes and Jacquelyn Oliver both chose to start reining lessons this year, and have improved their horsemanship while really falling in love with the sport, Jacquelyn even just bought her first reining mare! We can't wait to see what the little mare can do!
Audrey has been competing on IHSA for the MSU team, bringing home a few wins in the reining and horsemanship and gaining good ring experience! We look forward to helping her continue and grow her reining career
Ella Sny joined us for a while and cleaned house in the all around events! We have stuff cooking with her still so stay tuned!
Bella Demick and Charlotte Smith both started riding this year, they are both 10 and have only been riding a few months and have made major gains in their horsemanship, they are both looking forward to hitting a few shows in the coming year!
Maddie Wehrman and Olaf, while not our typically customer, her equitation and confidence have sky rocketed in their time together, we know they will achieve great things this year!
Lily Junak joined us after a small break from horses and switching over from English, she is still rather new to horses but has really developed a good seat and grown in horsemanship skills that last few months.
Marcy Russel and her mare have developed more and more into a team, they did hit a few appaloosa shows this year, but we are setting but goals for this next year!
Grace Huff did join us for one show after beginning lessons later in the year, she has grown to understand and work with her horse on a different level that allowed them to achieve success at their first show with us, we can't wait to see what this year brings!
