Riot went to town for her first show in WA, second show ever yesterday and she was ready to play! Jerrod missed Sniper, of course, but considering how things can go when you take a young horse out at first, he ended up delighted about how well she listened and kept her forward motion. Especially with 138 riders and PLENTY to take in. No videos were captured, but her turns were solid and she can scoot! So proud of her and how she handled it all! We are very excited for her future!

My husband once told me I didn’t “look my best” in a helmet…I’m just wondering if he’s seen my face? 😂

Rookie, of course looks perfect always. 💎

Drop me a photo of your best focus faces in the comments!

We love the kindness in the eyes of 2 year old Justa Slick Beau. He’s just getting started under saddle and we are so excited to see his riding career develop over the summer.
We have a limited amount of frozen Slick Justice semen available if you’d like to make a golden version of your favorite red head!

When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children, in one way her life begins but in another way it stops.
You build a life of details.
You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move.
And when they leave they take your life of details with them.
And then you're expected to move again only you don't remember what moves you because no one has asked in so long.
Not even yourself.
-Robert James Waller

Lucky is the horsewoman as she has four extra legs to keep her moving.
