What an incredible weekend and a memory we’ll never forget!
Our team’s first competition is officially in the books, and I couldn’t be more proud of every single rider, horse, family member, and volunteer who helped make this experience possible!!
Months of practices, learning new skills, overcoming challenges, building confidence, and supporting one another all led to this moment. While ribbons and placings are exciting, what makes me the proudest is the teamwork, sportsmanship, determination, and heart our riders showed every step of the way.
Thank you to our parents for the countless hours, early mornings, late nights, hauling horses, fundraising, and cheering from the sidelines. Thank you to our sponsors and supporters who believed in these kids and helped make this opportunity possible. And thank you to our amazing horses, who gave their best to our riders. 🏇
Most importantly, thank you to our riders. You represented our team with class, courage, and kindness. You stepped into the arena, trusted yourselves, and showed everyone what this team is all about.
This was our first competition, but it’s only the beginning. We learned, we grew, we laughed, and we made memories that will last a lifetime. I am beyond grateful to be part of this journey with such an amazing group.
❤️🤍💙 Once a team, always a team. Here’s to many more adventures together!
