But most importantly I see many skills, lessons, effort, passion and dedication. We were a team around here and we kept motoring through the good and the bad. We shed the weight that held us back from success and 2026 the year of the horse- the year we’re taking the reins and we’re galloping into the top ♥️

Super proud of these girls for their Perfect weekend ⭐️
•
Canyon finished off her Crazy 8 bronze with an average of 6 rats, tunnel, climb ! She also finished her RAT open title and 2 Q’s towards her RAT senior with a high in class over her wickedly brilliant cousin Winnow! She placed in every run she competed in and was super consistent in her searches ! 💛
•
Valley finished her RAT instinct, RAT Novice and 1 W towards her RAT Open title ! She went high in class for a novice and her open run and placed first in her division on every run ! Valley was a natural she blew us all out of the water with her super keen and fun searching ! Who would believe we only put her on rats a week ago 😆
