Amazing. 🤩

Are y’all ready? Hip No. 64 was Yall Aint Ready, who brought $500,000. The weanling filly is by $9 million sire Smooth Talkin Style and out of All Spice, Once In A Blu Boon’s leading money-earner. With both parents crowned NCHA Horse of the Year, she comes stacked with credentials.

This has been an incredible journey to watch! I’m so excited for this team! 💥 🐴 💥

NFR bound and looking fierce!
Another milestone in the books! Adios Pantalones went from the top futurity horse in U.S. barrel racing history to qualifying for the NFR at just 5 years old. This duo just keeps adding to their legacy. Getting NFR ready never looked so good!
Congratulation Tricia Aldridge!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

This.

I’m not going to lie, today was a really tough day for me on social media. I am heartbroken over Charlie. I’m heartbroken for his wife and children. I am just heartbroken.

Maybe it’s because I could resonate with him on so many levels. We are similar age. Similar views. I don’t agree with everything, but I always have respect for someone who is willing to stand up for what’s right, stand up for people who can’t, or hell, just stand up for anything.

It made me reflect a little on my own life.

I don’t share my son much on social media because it terrifies me that there are crazy people out there. Him and I have had multiple talks about it. It terrifies me that someone could target him, because of me… and let’s be real, yes, I upset people, but over what?! Awareness to a sport. Getting people talking. Standing up to things…. In the grand scheme of things… very small things. I think I do my part, or try to do what God put in my heart to do, but it is a scary world we live in, and a wonderful world at the same time.

I know his death will not be forgotten. I pray it helps people continue to stand up for what’s in their hearts and not be afraid to speak.

I am often appalled at how mean people are towards me for relatively simple opinions, and I cannot imagine the weight he carried. So when you see something you don’t agree with, I encourage you to educate yourself and offer kindness. I encourage you to scroll on without sharp words. I encourage healthy debate without hate. I encourage you and challenge you to choose kindness.

Lastly, don’t mistake kindness for weakness. I, along with many others, have had enough.

A life should never be the price to pay for a disagreement or a challenge of opinions. Today, was truly a sad day. Rest in peace Charlie. You will never be forgotten.

This!!! The old way of thinking is “he/she is just old”. It’s all about what you feed and how you feed, but maintaining weight on them CAN be done. It takes:
✅ more commitment
✅ educating yourself
✅ more out of pocket expense

…but they are WORTH it!

Old age is NOT an excuse for a skinny, suffering horse. Yes, senior horses can be harder to keep weight on. Their teeth wear down, digestion changes, they might need special diets, more calories, or extra care. That should all be consideredwhen buying a horse of any age and is all part of responsible ownership. But when a horse’s ribs, spine, and hips are sticking out, when they’re weak, unsteady, and clearly struggling, blaming “old age” isn’t good enough. That’s neglect, plain and simple.

If a horse is still bright, mobile, and enjoying life but needs extra TLC to maintain weight, then as owners, it’s our job to provide that. But if a horse is too far gone, too weak, too decrepit to recover or live comfortably, then it’s also our responsibility to do the right thing.

Keeping a horse alive just to avoid making the hard decision is not kindness. It’s cruelty.

Our horses gave us their best years. They carried us, taught us, trusted us. The least we can do is make sure they either have proper care or a peaceful, dignified end. No animal deserves to waste away.

Old doesn’t mean starving. Know the difference.

𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐃, 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐒 (𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓) – Teton Ridge, a leading Western sports and entertainment company, will host an absolute dispersal of its performance horse bloodlines on September 29, 2025, at TR9 Ranch in Weatherford, Texas, with horseviewing available the day prior on September 28. This one-day sale will feature a lineup of championship-caliber horses from one of the most respected programs in the Western performance world.

This exclusive dispersal represents a planned conclusion of Teton Ridge’s active breeding and sales program, as the company refocuses its efforts on expanding its footprint across Western sports, media, and live events. From the recent acquisition of The Cowboy Channel, giving Teton Ridge the largest portfolio of exclusive PRCA media rights, to the pages of Cowboys & Indians magazine and leadership in Pro Fantasy Rodeo, to the production of flagship events such as The American Rodeo and upcoming The American Performance Horseman, Teton Ridge has become a cultural and entertainment powerhouse in the Western world.

Since its inception, Teton Ridge has made an undeniable impact on Western sports through the strategic acquisition and development of some of the most influential horses ever to enter the arena. Teton Ridge's breeding program has redefined the genetic future of Western performance horses, producing championship bloodlines that will endure for generations.

“Our performance horse program has been foundational to Teton Ridge’s growth and identity,” said Deirdre Lester, CEO of Teton Ridge. “This next step allows us to honor that legacy while evolving with intention, expanding our focus across Western sports, media, and live experiences, and continuing to support the equine athletes and communities that are core to the culture we’re helping shape.”

● Third Edge, 2022 NCHA Open Horse of the Year, 2022 NCHA Open Derby Champion, and 2023 inductee into the NCHA Open Hall of Fame.

Beyond the show pen, Teton Ridge has consistently set new standards in elite sales. At the2024 Western Bloodstock NCHA Futurity Preferred Breeders Sale, yearling Spice Tag, daughter of the legendary All Spice captivated the industry, selling for $335,000 as the event’s high seller. Year after year, Teton Ridge horses continue to dominate the market and reinforce the power, prestige, and consistency of the program.

“We are proud of what we’ve built and the horses that have become synonymous with our program,” said John Sanislow, general manager of TR9 Ranch. “Now, we are honored to open the gates and share that opportunity with others.”

This!!

You don’t need an expensive horse to win.

You don’t need a fancy saddle or handmade bit to win.

You don’t need a nice rig to win.

You don’t need a barn or an arena to win.

These are all luxuries. It’s nice if you have them, but not a requirement to win.

You need effort and time.
Hard work and consistency.
Strength and resilience.
