Thought you might enjoy Pistol back in the day. He was in his 20s but always ready to go!

RIP Pistol. You taught so many and will be missed by all. You had a great, long, life at 34! Run free!!!!

Great thoughts!
I DID NOT KNOW…
I did not know a horse could bring people into your life that end up meaning the most to you.
I did not know a horse could make the hardest days of your life bearable.
I did not know a horse could teach you to put others first.
I did not know a horse could remind you time and time again that your gut is always right.
I did not know a horse could break your heart.
I did not know a horse could pick you up when you have fallen apart.
I did not know a horse could teach you to dream again, after you thought it was not possible.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in yourself.
I did not know a horse could teach responsibility, work ethic, and dedication.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in something when no one else does.
I did not know a horse could make you learn to forgive and forget.
I did not know a horse could humble you faster than you can say humble.
I did not know a horse could make you a winner.
I did not know a horse could also teach you how to lose gracefully.
I did not know a horse could instill patience in you.
I did not know a horse could make you listen better.
I did not know a horse could give you their heart.
I did not know a horse could change your life.
I did not know a horse could do all these things...
but now I know. ❤️❤️.

Summer Camps have begun! This week also marked the first week of Adult Camp, where we had some serious fun. A note from your photographer--I was experimenting a bit and also using my portrait lens, so the action shots didn't always work out, but here are a few shots that I liked. For the full album of photos from today's camp and also a handful from the 2:30 pm lesson, you can go here to download hi-res photos for free: https://bentonphoto.us/shec-june-10-2021/

For those of you that don’t know me yet, I started riding Lacey at Sundance Hills a few months ago. I’ll also be taking photos at the Gymkhana events and selling them for $5 each. I’m pretty sure I got photos of everyone last weekend. If not, please introduce yourself and let me know. I’m still learning everyone’s faces :)
Congrats Mom and baby.
Has anyone heard how the fires have affected the Center?
