Took a break from riding circles preparing for nationals to keep the mind fresh and we went cutting.

Sometime a change is as good as a holiday.

Well done Scott today on your win at Queensland State Reining show. We are just so proud and thankful for everything this pony gives us!

Thank you QRHA, the major sponsors of this class quarter horses. Without the support of wonderful sponsors these shows would ever happen.

What a beautiful piece. 🫶🏼

“How much weight can a horse carry?

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can't carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babys before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.

They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.”

THANK YOU to the breeding Gods ie: EquiNetics at Hallmark Farm
for giving us our own ’A Hollywood Custom’ baby who has literally scraped in by the skin of HER teeth.

Leanne has already called it as a ‘Bay Filly’ and we are beyond happy 🍾⭐️

‘The best reined horse should be willingly guided or controlled with little or no apparent resistance and dictated to completely.’

Chelsea’s first ride on our ‘Ruf Major’ gelding! Look at that drape in the reins!
I can not wait to see what happens with this duo!

I love Saturdays! Hope everyone got to cuddle a horse today 🫶🏼
Come ride a reiner!!!

We believe in you 👊🏼

What a great reminder!

I hope you find your confidence today:

I hope that whatever you are going through gets easier. I hope that the next time you step into the arena that you find joy again. I hope that whatever is making you want to give up on your dreams gets better. I really hope you find your confidence today. And if you can’t find your confidence, you can have some of mine. Because I believe in you. I have confidence in you that you will achieve whatever you are trying to achieve. I have confidence in you that the battle you are facing right now will become easier and you will win. Life is hard. It’s even harder when you are chasing your dreams and trying to provide for yourself and your family. But I believe in you. Deep down you have confidence that is like no other. I don’t know your story and I don’t know what caused you to lose your confidence, but I know it’s still in there. The rough patch you are facing now is just a small bump in the road. So don’t give up on your dreams. Keep chasing your dreams knowing that a complete stranger has confidence in you that you will achieve anything you set your mind to. I believe that you will find joy in competing again. I believe that you will get through this because you are a strong person. Look at all the things you have overcame in your life. What is happening now is just a tiny set back. You got this more than you think. So I hope you find your confidence today and keep pushing yourself. I am confident that you will succeed. I hope you believe in yourself as much as I believe in you, because this too shall pass.

It’s with so much pride we share our results from today.

Chelsea ‘NRHA Green Reiner Oceania Champion’

I rushed to her vision board perchered up high above her bed just to remind her ‘Dreams and hard work’ do really come true.
Early mornings, late nights, missed parties nothing compares to the high she currently has.

We remember this photo like it was yesterday a small, quietly spoken kid just wanting to ride her (actually Mums) horse fast.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors who help us keep our horses in great shape. AND of course the one and only Frankie who literally gives it his all every single day, every single time! If we could afford to clone him we would in a heart beat🤍
