Cool memory!

Remember Coy who was learning to ride in order to go on a 100 mile cattle drive from CA to the Reno Rodeo? Well he went this past week and it was a success! Here's what he wrote:
"Thank you for everything. Our time has been very beneficial!!! Couldn't have done it without you! 4 people who didn't practice have already been kicked off. 1 wrangler kicked off!!! The drive has been a success and I can't wait to continue riding and learning!"

Way to go! 🐴

Breezy 🌻
I started Breezy under saddle two summers ago. She was a bit of a late bloomer as a filly and we gave her some time to grow. It has been fun to be a part of her training. She has grown into a beautiful young mare that is starting to really figure out the Ranch Riding game.

Buddy (Gonna Spook Ya) you are a handsome, fun guy. I had a great time riding him for the first time.🐴

This past weekend we had a great time at the PNWRHA Summer Classic in Cle Elum at the WA State Horse park. The show was a big one (such a great turnout) so long days and it was very hot, but we gained a lot of great experience and see a lot of friendly faces. Ruby, Breezy, Shadow and Buddy got to come along.

Shadow (RTR Stylish Justice) and I led the Ranch Riding and Flag work portion of the clinic Friday evening. Due to terrible traffic on the way, we arrived just in time to unpack and saddle up. We also got to work a cow for the first time since my injury last year, always fun!

Ruby (This Chic is Chexy) got to show for the first time and despite a few baby moments, she did very well. She gathered experience showing in Ranch Rail, Ranch Riding, Ranch Reining, Box Drive and Boxing. Although I have chased buffalo with her a couple times last summer, this was her first time working a cow and it was a great confidence builder for her.

Breezy (Pocos Cisco Frost) got to have her second show experience and Carly rode her well in a huge Amateur Rookie division (Rail, Riding, Reining). She has grown into such a sweet, beautiful mare.
Buddy (Gonna Spook Ya) was a complete gentleman as we expected and such amazing confidence booster for Sarah. She was nervous about the W/T Ranch Trail class and ended up first. Super proud of this team! I also hopped on Buddy for the first time and cruised through a pattern in the Open Ranch Riding and Reining and he took 1st and 2nd. Such a cool dude he is!

Big thanks to my husband for his help and for hanging out with the kids while us girls got our horses shown. We stayed in a nice little VRBO house in downtown Roslyn (which is the cutest little town) with an awesome park across the street and they also got to enjoy the lake. Overall, good experience that tested our stamina, I think team work and late night Mexican food downtown kept us going. 🐴

A fun morning introducing students of Foothills Nature School k-2 grade to the horses. My son Isaac (4) had a fun time showing all his school buddies around. Lots of smiles and confidence gained as they got to brush, lead and ride a horse (and spoil with carrots), most for the first time. 🐴

What a wild day of weather 🌧️☀️. We took advantage of a beautiful sun break to hang out with our ponies.
