One thing that I can say with the utmost confidence was that there was a ton of happiness this weekend.
The energy was there, the positivity was there, the support was there, the laughter was there.
- Parents helping kids that aren’t theirs
- Veterans in the sport jumping in to coach the newbies along
- Trainers helping students for other trainers
- Trainers cheering on other riders(I see you smiling in the background, Kerry!💗)
- New riders showing up and putting their best foot forward
- People that had NEVER met prior to the show becoming friends immediately and having a blast.
The future of the sport boils down to these kids and how much of their heart is invested. I’d say the support from the parents, the trainers and the community as a whole this weekend is an encouraging sign that the sport still holds hope.
Thank you for those that entered, rode, helped and showed so much kindness to others. It costs absolutely nothing to be kind, and Stone Gate Farm was rich in kindness this past weekend. Again, thank you Jackie for the opportunity to host a show at your farm 💜
