Level 1 Wrap Up
Ok I started last week trying to post daily and lesson learned that I can NOT keep up with that and the horse show at the same time.

So our week in Wilmington has come to a close but I couldn’t be more proud of each of the girls. Their hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed.

🔆Just a few highlights of our week🔆

JESSICA CURTIS & GIVE ME A SOUTHERN

We would like to express our sincere thanks to AQHA and their entire staff for putting on a very well run horse show at an amazing facility. We also want to take a moment to thank all of our team behind the scenes which includes our vets, farriers, chiropractors, and barn helpers both at home and the show.

It was nice to catch up with old friends and even make some new ones. Safe travels.🍀 🤠

Summer is flying by and I have failed to keep up with these posts so my apologies to our team for all that have been missed during our June shows but I’ll try to do better going forward! Show Office jobs, paddock announcing, judging, conflict books and just life have made this summer seem like a whirlwind.
