Exploring Small-Town Treasures 🏡✨
Today we stopped by The Meeker Trading Co., owned by Sandy Hemingway — a charming local spot that’s not only a store but also an event venue ‘The Shed’ for meetings, socials, and family gatherings. 💛

We lucked out and arrived right in the middle of one of their community events and even found the perfect little gift to bring home! 🎁

If you’re ever nearby, go check them out and show some love to this small-town gem. Supporting local makes all the difference! 🌻

✨ Friesian Trail Magic ✨

Today Lorelei rode alongside two Friesian gentlemen — Aitze and Zamiel — and she loved every second (maybe a little too much 🤭). We had a great time riding with these beautiful horses and their lovely ladies. 💫

For the very first time, Lorelei stepped into the lake, knowing she was in good company. Martha tracked our ride on GPS — over 7 miles! — and along the way we met many smiling faces who stopped to meet our Friesians.

This morning in my devotional, I read about Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey — not a warhorse, but a humble symbol of peace. Friesians have a history of carrying knights into battle. But today, riding these horses with friends, I was reminded that true greatness isn’t about force or show. It’s found in humility, kindness, and the gift of sharing God’s love. 🌿✝️

What a blessing it is to reflect on these moments with horses and good friends by my side on the trail. 🖤🐴

🌾💚 Music for the Healing Journey 💚🌾

This past year I became a Peer Recovery Support Specialist — walking through trials and growth has shown me how powerful compassion is, especially when it’s shared.

Along that path, one thing that’s lifted me again and again is music. I made a playlist though my journey and called “Barn Melodies” on Spotify — full of some heavenly songs that kept my heart open to love and hope. 🎶

If you need a place of comfort or a companion for your journey, I’d love for you to follow the playlist below.

At Brush Springs Stables, I believe healing happens in many ways — through faith, through the land and through horses. Know that you are not alone. 💛

✨ Final Day at the Oklahoma State Fair ✨

We wrapped up our last three classes today:
• English Seat Equitation (Walk/Trot)
• Dressage Suitability Under Saddle
• English Pleasure Walk/Trot

One thing that stood out is just how many people it takes to make a horse show possible.
My dad loaned us his trailer and came to cheer us on. My in-laws helped with our stall fronts, brought lunch, and pitched in with packing up. And Cory… none of this would happen without his loving support and dedication to making it happen!

From kind trainers like Holli Huffaker, who supported us with lessons and to fellow riders lifting each other up, to the friendly volunteers and staff at the fair grounds!

Grateful for Lorelei, for the chance to share the beauty of the Friesian breed, and for all the families who stopped by and dreamed a little bigger after meeting her. 🖤🐴

We’re heading home with full hearts and so much thanks to God who continues to write beautiful stories in our lives.

✨ Day 2 at the Oklahoma State Fair! ✨
Today was full of fun—from trail obstacles to costume classes—plus plenty of time to visit with fairgoers!

The costumes were incredible—so much creativity and heart went into each one. Lisa’s horse won 1st place, and the costume I helped show took 2nd! 🎭🐴

Lady Lorelei met dozens of new fans, and she absolutely loved the attention (and the carrots!). 🖤

One of the highlights? Watching Martha shine in the driving class—I’ve added a clip to share the moment with you all!

Tomorrow we wrap up with more riding starting around 9:30 AM then the final show with the costume class—if you’re coming to the fair, swing by and say hello!

✨ Day 1 at the Oklahoma State Fair! ✨
Lady Lorelei had a beautiful start—she showed gracefully in Friesian In-Hand, Showmanship, and Liberty.

We met wonderful people today, including families who had never seen a Friesian horse before. We’re so thankful for this gentle, elegant girl who always shows up with heart. 🖤🐴

Tomorrow brings Trail Obstacles In-Hand—and I’ll be riding a friend’s horse in the Costume Class! 🎭 Then Sunday, Lorelei and I take the ring under saddle for three exciting classes!

✨ Lady Lorelei has arrived at the Oklahoma State Fair! ✨
This is our very first year creating show stall fronts—a fun homemade project!
We’ll be busy showing throughout the weekend, but if you’re at the Fair, we’d love for you to swing by Barn 6 and say hello! 👋

Catch us in the Performance Arena for classes like Liberty, Trail Obstacles, Costume, and English Pleasure… come cheer Lorelei on! 🎠🎉
Let’s make some fair-week memories!
