I could write about this weekend for ever and ever but I’ll try to keep it as short as I can … maybe?!
Horses are so mental and so physical it’s actually insane. I wish we all just “ sat there “ and let the horse work. Horses are humbling. They make you understand respect,m. They depend on YOU to be there for them and not the other way around.
Seasoning a horse is HARD and it’s a lot of work, it’s finding consistency but still learning to be risky at the same time. It’s falling off, it’s missing your pocket , it’s messing up, it’s bad days and it’s good days! EVERYONE has to go through this process with horses. It’s just part of it!
Our travel team kids KILLED IT this weekend!
Ava “ Hudak” and ducky have been putting in so much work and this weekend it showed!
Friday- 15.843 to win the 3D youth side pot!
Saturday - 15.673 but knocked
Sunday - she came back and redeemed herself and ran the fastest time of the team with a 15.201 to be .200 too fast for money!
Finishing 10th overall in youth out of 300+ riders and 2 runs bc she knocked!
Finishing 36th in the open out of riders all over the country! Absolutely incredible! At 13 years old! Ducky is such a once in a lifetime horse!
Sienna and “more heroics” has there first far supershow! This mare is not the easiest horse but man is she athletic and does she love to run and does it SO effortlessly, watching her move is just incredible!
Friday we knocked but would have been a 17.2
Saturday we pushed to our spot and got a 16.8 winning 3rd in the 4D!
Sunday sadly forgot to push to our spot one stride but their first barrel was everything she’s been working on and more! So proud of them! Cant wait to see where all they go! First super show ever and won a check! So proud!
Danica and our sweet sweet mare mare girl did so awesome! Mare is just the best and she has so idea the confidence she gives so many people, we could never ever thank her enough for everything she’s given so many!
