TWO days until Tulsa!!! Two beautiful horses to show. Sorry this is a long "Mom's gotta brag" post! 😂

✨️Westwind A Royale Reggies Replicate, "Bitz". From picking up as a weanling c**t (bred by Karen Wales) he was a competitive halter stallion owned & trained by Jessica Kraus We all knew he was special! Every decision is what has been best for him. Therefore, as a gelding this boy has become priceless!!! With Excaliber Stables he fast tracked to be an outstanding youth halter, and even a National Champion Western Stock halter his first time out in a western halter! He nailed multiple firsts, stakes and top 10 in National Western Stock Halter and Country Pleasure Driving his first year driving 2025. Firsts and stakes in Western Country Pleasure this year while continuing his halter career in youth, amateur and open. He is a MULTIPLE Liberty Champion / AMHR All Star & International All Star Champion - he loves it and a blast to watch! He is laid back, goofy, loves his family and has the biggest heart. No matter the piles of ribbons and Championships, this guy gives us unforgettable memories!!! ❤️

✨️McCarthys Expresso Martini, yearling stallion OFS. He IS our "Oh Charlie!" He is full of personality, sometimes a few... LOL. Owned by Heather Flanagan and Jeffrey Warner, he is our Faturity adventure horse. He is a smart c**t, growing into himself and he knows he was made to show off. We had a delayed start to show season so he is playing catch up for a halter horse on his way to Nationals. He is figuring it out with a great foundation at home and continued education with the wonderful Spotlight Stables, we are excited to see him in Tulsa!!! ✨️
