Peaceful fall evening yesterday 🧡 we’ve been having such beautiful weather lately, the horses love it!

Robbie and I are officially signed up to compete at the Run for the Ribbons Thoroughbred Expo in December! We’ve got some things to work on but I’m so excited to get out in the show ring again with my girl 🤩

Now that our long day of travel is over and we finally got a good nights sleep, I can reflect on the incredible week we had at the Thoroughbred Makeover.

We may not have come home with ribbons this week but my heart is full, we made amazing memories, and I have so much gratitude for my little mare that always tries her hardest for me.

I could not have done this without Yesenia Watson by my side every step of the way. She never waivers in her support and I am so grateful to have such an incredible person to lean on ❤️

CZ Mustangs thank you for the hours and hours you spent helping us prepare, you’re the best!!

A huge shout out to my mom for tagging along and always being a good sport, and my dad for holding down the fort at home. This trip wouldn’t have been possible without your help 🥰

Something that is so incredible about the Makeover is the unexpected friends we meet along the way. This week is always my favorite because it’s the one time a year I get to see Haley Beth and I’m already counting down the days until we get to do it again! I can’t thank you and your dad enough for your help with our props!

Thank you to everyone who followed along these past ten months, I am so excited to share what else we have in store for the future!

And finally, to my sweet General Robinson. This is just the start of your journey and I am so excited to see what the future holds for us❤️tk

Day 6✔️
Our last day here in Kentucky was spent watching the championships and getting ready to head home. I didn’t get pictures of Robbie’s costumes during our routine so I made sure to get some today! Her routine was “time travel” so we traveled through the decades 50s-80s) 🤩🕺

Day 5✔️
Today Haley Beth talked us into spontaneously entering a competitive trail clinic and we had a blast! We learned so much and Yesenia Watson offered to show Robbie the water. Needless to say we don’t have a water problem 😂😂 we had to drag her out of the water. I think she’s gonna want a pond at home now!

Day 4 ✔️

Day 4 didn’t go quite as planned, the environment in the covered arena was a bit overwhelming for Robbie and our show had some hiccups, but Robbie tried her heart out for me and I am so proud of her. No matter what the scores say, this mare will always be #1 in my heart. This is just the start of our journey ❤️🥰

Day 3 ✔️

Today we got to have a run through with all our props this evening in the arena we are competing in. We got some things sorted out and I’m feeling hopeful about tomorrow! The covered arena is still a huge environment and it’s easy for Robbie to get overwhelmed in it, but she has been getting better and better each day. Today we braved the walk across the horse park in the dark with zero fuss! We show tomorrow afternoon and no matter what happens, I am so proud of this little mare and how hard she tries for me. This is just the beginning of our journey!

Day two ✔️
It was a WET day today, it did not stop raining all day! 🌧️ We trekked across the horse park in the pouring rain to school in the covered arena where we will be showing on Thursday. It was a packed arena and even though Robbie had some baby moments, she worked through them and we were able to have a productive time before heading back out in the rain! This evening we took a stroll around and Robbie was so calm and collected to just hand walk around. I can’t wait to see how she handles schooling again tomorrow ❤️

Day one at the Thoroughbred Makeover! Robbie got all settled into her stall and didn’t make a peep! She passed her arrival exam with flying colors and then enjoyed a bath before some hand walking around. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the week goes! ❤️

I can’t thank our sponsors enough for their continuing support 🥰
