"Kiss This Pale Face" (Smooch), is such a nice 3 year old!
I started riding this horse at the end of December and wasn't sure if he was going to make it to the IRHA Ranch Horse Futurity, but I ended up deciding to show him.
Earlier on in his training, I almost cut him from the program because he was such a quirky, difficult, disconnected c**t. I didn't think he would really come around, but I handed him off to one of my assistants for a while to put some ranch miles on him. She rode him all over the place every day, worked on obstacles, cruised around, swung a rope off him.. All the things that are so incredibly vital to do for young horses, but I didn't want to spend more time on him when I hadn't seen much progress in his training up to that point. I really started to see some of it begin to stick after about 6 weeks, so I took him back in and kept training for the futurity.
When we found out it had been moved up by almost 2 months and would be held at APHA world, I was again unsure if Smooch was up for the challenge, but he stepped up in every way.
Horses with big hearts like this are just so special. When I think about all the ways he's worked hard to be brave for me and all the ways he tried to give more every time it was asked for him, something in me just melts a little bit.
We got to APHA World and his training was right on track. I couldn't have asked for more of him going into the pen, he was so far ahead of where he should've been for 6.5 months of training and there's not one thing I would've changed about our warm up. But horse showing is a humbling game.

After a bad break of gait during the extended trot in our pattern, we racked up enough penalties to knock us way out of the finals, but he deserves his own post anyway because of just how hard he tried for me and how much fun he was to show!
It was a strange feeling to ride a pattern knowing you were definitely eliminated early on, yet still have such a blast the rest of the run!

Things didn't go the way we planned, but I've never felt so happy after being "let down" so badly.
This horse has a bright future and I can't wait to show him more. He has the heart of a champion through and through.

We had a great time at the APHA World Championship show! Sid placed in the IRHA Ranch Horse Futurity finals with 2 out of 3 of his horses.

"Cant Spook This", owned by Sid, and "Spooks Lil Boss Babe", owned by Todd & Joy McPherson were both terrific and brought home a combined total of over $2,000!

"Full Throttle" was solid and steady, but didn't have quite a strong enough run to make it back to the finals. We're still proud of his performance and grateful to Amber Morgan for the opportunity to ride such a cool horse!

Our team had a great show at the Pinto World Championship!

Congratulations to Sid on winning the High Point Open Ranch award with "GG", (Ginger Chex Your Gun).
Connie also took home several World and Reserve World Championship titles on her wonderful gelding, Romeo, (Chex My Smoking Gun). It was the pair's first Championship together and we're so excited to see their hard work paying off!

"Elvis", (Gunning For Diamonds), started the first day out with a really strong run in Ranch Trail, but it quickly became evident that he was very much not feeling his best and we ended up having to scratch from nearly all the rest of his classes. It was unfortunate, but there are plenty of shows in his future and he only continues to progress by leaps and bounds!

Our other young ones handled the show like pros! And even if they didn't bring home any buckles, if there was an award for shiniest and prettiest, I'd be willing to bet they would've won, thanks to EspanaSilk Grooming Products!

Now we're headed to APHA World Championship for the IRHA Ranch Horse Futurity!

"Don't let the world convince you that your blessings are burdens."

Someone once shared these wise words with me and I've tried my best tried to take them to heart.

In this new chapter of life as a mom, it's easy for me to miss my independence, to reminisce about the days I could walk out the door to work and go ride my horses without having to plan a strict schedule to make it happen.
The mental exhaustion is astounding at times. There's extra laundry, extra cleaning, extra stress.
And it seems like there's never enough time in a day to get everything done while running a business.
I know everyone is experiencing their own set of struggles and I'm by no means a "good vibes only", person.
But you, my friend, are gold, and the fire will only serve to refine you if you let it.

We all have a choice about what we'll focus on in life; we all get to choose the lens through which we'll view the world. And the lens I choose is gratitude.

I am blessed beyond measure.
