World Show Wrap Up
This last week in Texas was a whirlwind of excitement, emotion, exhaustion and energy all wrapped into one! We are proud of everyone who came and pulled it off with us! Thank you!
Novice Division:
Lanae Elam Hollywood Meadowlark have officially finished their first full year of stock horse competition. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have them on our team. They have accomplished so much in such a short time!
The Texas competition was strong as ever- and they fit right in! They are beautiful together. This winter Holly will start her bridle horse transformation!
Youth Novice:
** street and Darren’s Dolly- aka Dally had one heck of a show. Livvy rode an incredible, mistake-free week… and piloted Dally to a 13th place finish in the All- Around! The Novice Youth class is the largest division in the SHTX, and we couldn’t be more proud of them! Top 15 cow work, Top 20 Trail, Top 25 in pleasure. Strong work you two! ❤️👏👏
** Story and Sorry Not Really- aka CJ, had some beautiful go’s this weekend. They were TOP 5 in Pleasure! They also were 3rd in reining on go 2!
These two look so good together. There were some little things that prevented them from placing at the top of every class, but it’s obvious that they can be there. It was a very impressive first full year of showing for these guys!
** Sofia Dunworth and Edna Nitro- aka Yahtzee, had a successful week in Texas. Although they may not have had the success they might have liked- it’s pretty remarkable to look back a few months ago and think about what a feat it was to just get through a trail pattern. Shoot, they marked their first 70 in their reining pattern Saturday! The growth these two have made is tremendous. Sofia is a competitor and I have no doubt she and Yahtzee will get some cool things done! We are proud of you!
Youth:
** Sophia Haney and BETITWASTHEMOONSHINE- aka RUSH
-7th place All-Around- Youth World Show-
We couldn’t be happier for this well deserving pair! The work, the passion, the drive that fuels this partnership is beautiful and we are honored to be a part of their journey.
Well done girl, you deserve every bit of your success. ❤️
Open:
Diana and DJ BLU LIL BOON… aka Tomi. I got this little mare as a yearling and trained her the last seven years…she’s taught me so much. She’s humbled me more times than I can count…she’s won things that I never thought we could… and this week was her greatest accomplishment yet. Thank you little blue dragon. Your grit is larger than life.
