We are thankful for so many...
Uncle Sam
Responsible for the 8th birthday Groupon that started it all.
Thank you!(?)
Sandra Brady, trainer
We can not thank you enough Sandy for believing in Rooster to be a good fit for Samuelle and to allow for them to excel as a team. You have provided a lifetime of stellar memories and opportunities...
*also grateful to Jim Farmer pictured next to Rooster for introducing and highly recommending Emily Farmer to us when we were looking for someone to take Sam to Vegas Nationals!
Emily Farmer, trainer
How can we formulate the extent of our gratitude in just a few words? Being referred to Emily in October 2021 by her uncle Jim Farmer, with one month to prepare and train for Nationals on a new horse: Idol of Kings, was a true blessing.
The journey ever since has been quite the successful ride.
So much growth and so much fun!
A match that was truly meant to be.
Melanie Mader, USHJA Outreach program
Thank you Melanie for having answered all of the questions (yes, the many!) we have had since Sam came home from the barn speaking a million words a minute saying someone saw an announcement on Instagram with Sam’s name on it stating she was the backstage golden ticket winner for the USHJA nationals in 2021, as our official invitation ended up in our junk mail folder!!! The life changing USHJA outreach program is your baby, providing a chance to small barns like ours and their young riders to compete in the finals amongst the best!
Such a dream! For ever grateful for this journey thanks to you!

The "Groomers #parents"
They are way too old for this shit.
I say this Literally
#MuckingStalls
But they put their whole heart into it.
So we'll keep hem around.
(It's not like we can afford any real groomers anyways;)
