A heartfelt thank you to Kade Spencer for spending the last two weeks helping us while Travis has been recovering from his accident.

Having Kade step in to ride horses and keep things moving forward during a challenging time was a tremendous help. His hard work, professionalism, and willingness to lend a hand did not go unnoticed.

We are incredibly grateful for the time, effort, and support he gave our program and our horses. It’s a blessing to have people in this industry who are willing to show up and help when they’re needed.

Thank you, Kade. We truly appreciate everything you did for us over the past two weeks.
🐴💜🙏🏻

Last week Kendall, NRHyA Vice President, had the opportunity to travel to Washington DC alongside fellow NRHyA officers and AQHYA.

During their time on Capitol Hill, the team met with multiple members of Congress and were able to lobby pieces of legislation that directly impact the equine industry and the sport of reining. We could not think of a better group of young people to represent our sport in our nation’s capitol. It is so cool that NRHA is able to send the officers on trips like these where they can grow and learn networking skills as well as advocate for our equine athletes.

WALLA IN A MILLION and Melissa Wigen had a few solid runs at the Best Little Derby in The West. This mare has had very limited time in the show pen with this being her second horse show. She looked great!

Rose and Melissa placed top ten in the Novice Horse Non Pro Derby picking up a nice check to begin Rose’s show record. It has been so much fun seeing her get more comfortable and confident in the show pen. We are very excited for owner, Gina Wigen, to get to show this talented mare in the future and can’t wait until her next horse show.

Congratulations and job well done Melissa and Rose!💜💫

We are officially home from The Best Little Derby in The West! The horses are all tucked in and situated back in the barn. We are grateful for the show week that we had and eager for me to start recovering from my accident. We have had such great help at the barn and we are lucky that we are able to trust our workers to give the horses the best care that they could possibly get.

Huge thank you to Trent and Greg Bales for making the trip to Nampa in order to drive the semi truck and trailer home for me. Thank you Greg for flying Trent over, and thank you Trent for driving the rig home. We are surrounded by such great friends and community and we are thankful for all of the help to get the horses home safely. 💜🙌🏔️
