2026 HONEST GAMING SERIES CHAMPIONS

Points were accumulated throughout the entire series, and when the dust settled our season-end champions were…

🥇 Novice Champion – Lily Pye & Piper
🥇 Open Champion – Natalie Olson & Stitch

These two wins were especially close to my heart. ❤️ I’ve had the privilege of coaching both of these girls for years, and I’ve also spent countless hours training both of their horses.

I couldn’t be more proud of these two girls and the horsewomen they’re becoming! One thing we talk about A LOT in lessons is mental strength. It’s not just about how well you ride, but how you handle pressure, stay focused and push through when things get tough.

And let me tell you, these girls had to FIGHT for those buckles! It was a dogfight right down to the very last event! Both girls had an opportunity to take their shot at the win, and they did just that! It took determination, focus, grit and the confidence to trust themselves and their horses. And THAT is what makes me the proudest. ❤️

THE BUCKLES FINALLY ARRIVED!
Unfortunately, the buckles didn’t make it in time for the final race, but they showed up just in time for Halloween! 🎃

And let’s be real … even when you’re dressed as Lord Farquaad, a picture with your FIRST buckle is an absolute MUST! 😂🏆

Halloween costumes and all, I couldn’t pass up getting a picture with these two and their hard-earned buckles!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported our very first gaming series! From our volunteers and arena crew to everyone cheering on the riders, we couldn’t have done it without you!

It was the perfect way to break in our outdoor arena! Already looking forward to making 2027 even bigger and better!

🎃✨ HONEST HALLOWEEN 2026! ✨🎃

WOW! What an absolutely MAGICAL night! 🧡
Our very first Honest Halloween was a HUGE success, with around 150 people coming out to celebrate with us!

Seeing all those adorable kiddos in their costumes, the smiles, the laughter and even the adults getting to be kids again was everything I had hoped for and MORE! 🥹❤️

When I dreamed up this event, I wanted to create something more than just a Halloween party. I wanted a place where families could come together, kids could just be kids and everyone - no matter their age - could feel safe, welcomed and included. That dream was fulfilled. ❤️

I had several parents come up throughout the night just to say thank you for creating a safe place for their families. And let me tell you, those conversations meant EVERYTHING. 🥹

This is what Honest Equine is all about. Not just horses, not just events, but creating a community where people feel welcome, loved and safe to simply be themselves.

I owe the BIGGEST thank you to my entire barn family, who came together to help me pull this crazy idea off! From decorating and setting up to running booths, helping with animals and everything in between.

A HUGE thank you to our amazing sponsors! We could not have done it without you❤️

THAT’S A WRAP ON HONEST GAMING 2026!

When I dreamed up Honest Gaming, I had one goal in mind. To create a place where EVERYONE felt welcomed, loved and supported.

A safe place to learn, compete, make mistakes, build confidence and most importantly have FUN. Whether you were chasing the fastest time or just learning your first pattern, there was a place for you here. ❤️

Throughout the season I watched people reach goals, step outside their comfort zones and grow in confidence. But what meant the most to me was watching everyone cheer each other on. Competitors encouraging competitors, families cheering for strangers and people celebrating someone else’s accomplishments like they were their own. THAT is what I wanted Honest Gaming to be. 🥹

I say something in my lessons all the time… horses are supposed to be FUN. If they’re not, we’re doing something wrong and need to change it.

Sometimes we get so caught up in winning, improving and chasing the next goal that we forget why we fell in love with horses in the first place. We forget that little girl we used to be who was excited just to see her pony ❤️

One of my favorite moments was watching this little girl grow through the season. She started the first show so nervous that she needed a leadline to walk her through. By the end of the series, she was trotting through patterns all by herself, with everyone cheering her on. 🥹❤️

THOSE are the moments that matter. The little victories that mean everything to someone. That’s why I created Honest Gaming.

My other priority was providing GOOD, SAFE GROUND. I spent countless hours working and maintaining the arena, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! This series was the perfect way to break it in.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who volunteered, competed, helped behind the scenes or came out to support our riders. You all made this possible!

🏅 Congratulations to our daily high point winners throughout the season — Lainey Sell, Kynzee Eickmann and Ashland Pye!

🏆 Congratulations to our 2026 Series Champions!
🌟 OPEN — Natalie Olson
🌟 NOVICE — Lily Pye

At the end of the day, Honest Gaming was built to create a place where beginners and seasoned competitors alike would feel welcome, where trying was celebrated just as much as winning and where everyone knew they belonged.

This picture sums it all up ❤️
