This past sunday was the last regular show of the season for all the kids and we spent it at one of our favorites, SNEHA. It’s crazy to think how fast this season went by. We loved that all the kids were able to spend the entire day together laughing and supporting one another.

🏆Marelise and Kings Little Pl***oy were Champions in the walk trot 12-17 division. All her hard work that shes been doing with Rex really showed!
🥈Evan and SJR Diamond Kin were Reserve Champions in the walk trot 12-18 division. Evan has really stepped up to the challenge he set for himself this year of switching to showing western.
🥈Larissa and Smart Gracie were Reserve Champions in the walk trot 11 and under division after some beautiful rides. Great way to finish her first season out of lead line.
🏅Brielle and SJR Diamond Kid rocked it in the walk trot 11 and under per usual. This girl really knows how to make Kid look his best.
🥈Layla and Smart Gracie were Reserve Champions in the begginner walk trot division. The pair definitely came to compete at this one, locked in with their eye in the prize.
🥈Avery and Smart Gracie were Reserve Champions in the lead line division. Avery has had an incredible first season showing.
🎖️Elliana and SJR Diamond Kid had some great rides in the lead line division. This pair just continues to grow each time they enter the ring, can’t wait to see what they do next year.

We are so proud of all of them and all the hard work they have put in all season at the shows and at home in lessons. The amount of love they have for these horses and for the sport really is amazing.

Now to end the season with some fun and games at the SNEHA Fun Show!
If others are looking for a day full of laughs and good times come on down!
