We have had so much fun the last few days I got extra behind on updates, so here’s a long one!

On Wednesday morning Tonya had a beautiful showmanship pattern earning her a TopTen in a very competitive ATH handle. That afternoon Arya rocked her ranch pattern including a score of 74 from one of her judges to receive a top ten followed by another in the walk/trot ranch rail!!

Thursday Elijah and Buck showed off their hard work for a Top Ten (3rd) in the purebred ranch riding JTR 14 and under!!

Friday morning Arya and Buck wrapped up our show by earning Top Ten honors with a beautiful showmanship go!!

My entire team spoiled me on my birthday, we all got to watch classes together, we had meals together, and golf cart vs bicycle races, and even got to go to the National Cowboy Museum one afternoon!! We had so much fun in and out of the show ring.

All my riders supported each other through every single class, as well as cheered on so many new friends and competitors we get to see more regularly.
Seeing all my kids make connections to other amazing kids all because of a shared love of the Arabian horse was such an amazing experience for me!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who offered encouragement, advice, and support as my riders and I got to experience MPPH’s first Youth and Midsummer Nationals!!! We couldn’t do what we do without each and every one of you. It is such an honor to help my riders chase their dreams! (I can’t tag everyone I want to, but please know you are very much appreciated!)

As I reflect on this show I am blown away by all of my riders and both our horses! We are coming home with 2 Reserve Championships and 21 Top Tens!! I got to watch my riders all improve with every single class they rode in, exceeding all of my expectations in the ways they helped their horses and exhibited with poise and confidence. The sky is the limit for all of them, and being a part of the ride is one of my greatest gifts in life!

It has been the biggest privilege of my life to get to coach these riders at Youth and Midsummer Nationals!!!

Carol and her horse Bey B Let’s Get Loded improved every single time they entered the arena!!! They ended their show on Monday with Top Tens in both English and Western Trail, and a wonderful go in the ranch riding. These two are a joy to watch in the arena and Eli (the horse 😂) gets consistent compliments on his movement.

Tonya and AFA Buckshot Bey also earned Top Tens in English and Western trail!!! These two have also improved every go of the show. They are getting ready for showmanship now, and we can’t wait to watch them!!

Arya also earned a Top Ten in walk/trot western trail with 2 beautiful rides and amazing scores including a 74!!

We still have some showmanship and ranch classes to come, and we are loving every minutes of watching classes, cheering on friends, ba****ck ride a buck, so many popsicles, and much much more!

We have had a busy last two days full of trail and more!!

🌹Elijah and AFA Buckshot Bey were Reserve National Champions in JTR Select Western trail today!! 🌹

Carol and Naomi each earned a top ten today on western trail AOTR and Open with Bey B Let’s Get Loded!

All our riders have made all their cuts in the trail classes!!

Yesterday Elijah and Buck were Top Ten in a very deep 14 and under horsemanship class, and in the VRH ranch trail JTR!

We are so proud of how much our riders improve every time they enter the arena, and how hard they have all been working!!

Way to RIDE team!!!

***HUGE THANKS TO Shannon and our horse community for saving our bacon with a loan!!!*** crisis averted yet again.

Does anyone here in OKC have a showmanship halter for sale?!?

None of the vendors do, and ours accidentally stayed home.

All 5 of our riders rode incredibly well and very hard today earning 4 top ten titles and advancing through all of today’s semi final rounds!

AFA Buckshot Bey was 4th in ATH in hand trail and 3rd in JTH in hand trail.

Elijah had two semi finals western trail go’s with Buck today and improved immensely between the two! It is amazing to see these two back in the National’s trail ring after 5 years of growing together.

Arya had an absolute beautiful western equitation ride this evening!! From flying cross country this morning so riding in her first nationals class, what a day!

Carol and Bey B Let’s Get Loded advance to the finals in AOTR western trail, and Naomi and Eli went Top Ten in open ranch rail tonight!

Tomorrow is another full day of fun for our crew, and we are all very excited!

We also want to say a huge thank you to our support team here on the grounds and everyone cheering us on via the livestream, your texts of encouragement and knowing you’re watching from a distance means the world to our crew! Lisa Kolke, Noel Collins, Laura Venne, Teri Nilsson, Camryn, and many many more!! ❤️

We are all settled in here in OKC and so excited to get this show started!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has helped make this adventure possible!!!!

07/10/2026

We got a truck!!!! Huge thanks to all our friends for their support and help making this happen! We have wheels, and will be hitting the road first thing tomorrow morning!

07/08/2026

Hey friends! Huge ask, but hoping someone even semi local might be able to save our day… The truck I was lined up to rent to haul to youth is out of commission with an emissions code.

I am looking for a 1 ton or bigger truck with a gooseneck hitch that I could rent from Friday 7/10- Tuesday 7/28.

Options/ideas/thoughts/prayers all very very welcomed!!

Thank you!
