What a spectacular weekend we had on our overnight trip to Valley Meadow Farms in Hancock, MD. No words can adequately describe the memories that were made with my older show team members. The trail riding and views were amazing!! We took a dusk ride to vista point where we witnessed a beautiful sun set then rode back in near total darkness, trusting our horses to find the way.
We rode up and down over steep incline’s challenging ourselves and our horses who were breathing extra hard! We sat around a campfire, ate delicious food, talked for hours and connected with each other and our horses in a way that only this kind of adventure offers. We will not soon forget this weekend that’s for certain!! Thank you to Laura Hartley for being our cook and Devon Yoder for extra hauling and everything else he helps us with. And praise be to God that everyone stayed safe!

I spend A LOT OF TIME with kids! Listening to them talk about the important things in their lives like why they named their dog or cat a certain name or how difficult learning fractions are for them, just interacting with them on their level. Of course we talk about horses and their individual personalities but then there are these special moments of just silence as I walk with them on our trails taking in the sights and listening to the birds sing. Then, out of no where I will hear them proclaim, “I love riding horses!” We keep walking and I think to myself, this right here never grows old!

We stirred up some dust today; inhaled dust, swallowed dust, wore it on our clothes and between our teeth but we had a great time in Somerset, Pennsylvania doing what we love to do! Now to shake this dust off and get ready for our next adventure.

BSS PROUD MOMENT: Caleb Hershman is an employee who loves to ride horses but he also loves to bowl! A former competitive bowler myself we often talk about the sport and how challenging it is. Caleb bowled on his school bowing team and would always share his scores with me. But last night when I got this picture of a perfect 300 score, 12 strikes in a row!!!!!!!! I literally could not believe it!! This is a awesome achievement and Caleb said he could barely breath when it was getting closer to the tenth frame. I’m sure he won’t get many stalls cleaned today, he’s probably still fighting his adrenaline rush!! Great game Caleb! 🎳

Today was one of those days we won’t soon forget. Big goals were fulfilled for several team members while frustration and challenges plagued others. While some were working hard to win their first high point buckles others were working hard trying to catch their horses who escaped from the trailer. There were tears of joy and tears of sheer exhaustion. I witnessed team camaraderie, friendship, and unselfishness today and I couldn’t help think how blessed I am to spend my weekends with my show family witnessing how these young ladies have grown in so many areas of their lives. I’m grateful that God has allowed me to be a part of these young ladies lives doing what I love.

I have rules about riding double but I guess they don’t apply to the barn cats!!

11 horse and riders represented our stable today at the Mt. Top show and there is never a dull moment with this group. They can compete against each other in the ring yet clap and cheer for one another regardless of the placings They endure heat, dust, long waits for classes to start, threats of severe weather, rushed classes to beat the storm, then a down pour before getting horses loaded up yet they still have the best attitudes. We celebrated Rae’s birthday and brought home champion and reserve champion youth ranch. Champion and reserve western pleasure small fry and champion adult western pleasure. Shylow won both the pony and western halter classes with Mille and we had some impressive trail participants. We’re on the road again the next two weeks. Showing is a big commitment and I’m so proud of each of you!!

It’s not as easy as it looks but practice makes perfect. Ranch trail classes are a lot of fun and challenging for both horse and rider.
