Our Congress photo has arrived!

I am more than thrilled to have finally received my picture from the All American Quarter Horse Congress. I had been an attendee at this amazing event for many years now, but never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be able to, though I so greatly desired to, compete at this show. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Being able to show with my own horse, Siren, who I have been working with for some time now, made the event much more spectacular. She received many compliments on her behavior throughout the course of the show. I truly could not be happier with Siren! She was a true gem all while traveling, showing, and posing for pictures. I do hope that showing at the Congress is a possibility for us next year. Thank you to everyone who made this journey possible for us!

America's HQrse

The results for the program were published in the magazine, America's HQrse. Siren and I made a small appearance. 😊

Ranching Heritage Young Horse Development Program results

I recently learned the results for this year's Ranching Heritage Young Horse Development Program. The results were made after the scores of all of the participants' scores had been tallied up. These scores included the project book, the professional horseman's checklist, and the monthly reports.

I am thrilled to be able to say, that I was awarded 3rd place this year! I was awarded $1,000 in scholarships and a $100 gift card to wrangler. More importantly, I gained so much knowledge over the past year. I also got the best horse that anyone could ask for! I am very excited and I wish that I were able to do this program all over again!

This is such an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity. I was lucky enough to have seized the opportunity to partake in such an amazing program. I am also lucky to have such supportive parents and friends who helped me with making everything this past year possible. I highly recommend this program to a horse crazy youth, looking to expand their knowledge. Thank you AQHA for creating this program!

"Your horse is a mirror to your soul."

 

It has been said that "your horse is a mirror to your soul." I sure hope that this is accurate because I certainly love what I see in both of my horses! I hope that I could behold even a portion of the positive attitude and life-loving personality that Siren withholds.  I would also like to believe that I possess even a fraction of her ability to draw people in and obtain friends. She has the most miraculous ability to draw people in. It seems almost everyone falls for her charm and instantly loves her. It's hard not to! No matter what the day brings, Siren's curiosity is never diminished. She is constantly exploring and trying to absorb what the world has to offer her, in the most positive way possible. She always takes everything in stride (pardon the pun  :P ) and uses her oustanding intellegence to learn more and more each day. I find Siren to be captivating. If you knew her like I do, you wouldn't find it odd when I say that I truly aspire to be more like her. To be loving, sweet, clever and humorous. To be endowed with the ability to bestow happiness upon everyone I meet.  

Siren in the snow!

Most people where I live, my self included, have not found this winter weather to be very enjoyable. The air is chilling and the snow makes driving a task. However, this weather does not deter Siren from having a good time! She and her buddy "Otto" had a fun time playing in the snow the other day. She rolled multiple times, creating some snowy Siren snow angels and also enjoyed romping through the deep snow.

-Have no fear! No horses were injured during this wintery play time!-
