By the end of the show, the pair were consistent. Emily's equitation has improved exponentially over the year. Her great family supported her all year, and we look forward to her continued progress over the winter. Thanks for everything you do Nana!

The trail ride, horse show, trail challenge, candied apples, slushies, pumpkin carving, chili cookoff, and haunted hayride were wonderful! It was great meeting new people in our community and always great to see those we know. :)

9/18/2020 - 9/20/2020 Stephanie enjoyed showing three of her horses at the Sunnyside Open Horse Show in Williamston with Sundance Stables (the family farm). The most fun was had with our mother and the three sisters...along with our great kiddos! Great laughter, great food, and a great time! We met many new faces and enjoyed seeing familiar ones. "Silver Ruckus" and Stephanie competed in three classes and were awarded with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons! The infamous "Blue Attitude" was presented without shoes under saddle and in-hand. She earned two 2nd place ribbons under saddle and a 4th place in halter out of a deep field of 10. "Flirtatious Charm" appeared in a new division - huntseat. She was elegant and beautiful. We earned good ribbons in two nice classes. Special thanks to Brittany Alford for the "peanut, braiding lessons."
