Showed in the AQHA VRH at the Slidin Daze show in Sterling CO this past weekend and had a great time! Tamales first time roping in the pen went great and she held her cow awesome! Had some good schooling in the cutting as well! Proud of both horses this weekend and excited to get the show season going!

I wanted to show the training progress of one of the fillies in my program! This is Disco (Traveling Jones x Woody be Tuff) owned by Jonah Adley.

The first video of each section shows where she was two weeks ago and the next video is one week later on Friday! I wanted to be realistic about what she looks like and the progress that can be seen! Can’t wait to show you all more of her!

Disco has 2 1/2 months of training and we just gave her 6 months off after starting her for 60 days so this is two weeks back in training.

Austin and Houston’s Toy had an awesome ranch pleasure run to place 1st, 2nd in trail and 4th all around in the open!

Ailee Paxton also took her mare through in the AQHA VRH and Cown Rookie Youth classes in the trail conformation and ranch riding. She handled her mare great!

Austin showed Lynn Zehrbach’s mare RH Cash for Catnip to take 3rd and 5th in some deep ranch trail and pleasure classes! Glad to get her back in the pen!

Kathy Nelms and Merada Blue overcame the dragons fears of the warm up pen at the ranch and did great! Thanks always for the guidance!

Austin and Jewels French Kissin had a great end to the year placing 1st in the reining, and 3rd in the pleasure!
