What a season for this cowgirl and our crew!

This was her first year competing with KJRA, and she took on a lot of new and really rose to the challenge.

So proud of how she finished in her age division:
✨ 1st in barrel racing (division)
✨ Top 10 in pole bending & goat tying
✨ 3rd in dummy roping
✨ 3rd overall All-Around Cowgirl

With over 200 kids competing overall this season, the competition was no joke, and we’re so proud of her.

We were also incredibly impressed with KJRA and all they do for these kids—giving out over $80,000 in prizes this season is amazing!

We wanted to thank her official sponsor Feel the Pulse LLC who will keep the herd feeling good this season!

And as always, it takes a team…thank you to everyone who has helped and continues to be there along the way!

Teacup. Pixie. Itty-bitty. Micro. Pocket-size.

Plenty of people have fallen for the promise of a forever-small pig. Around the pandemic, when Americans were homebound and scrolling for companionship, interest in unconventional pets picked up. Pigs can keep growing for up to five years, and veterinarians and rescue operators say some of those purchases are only now settling into their full size.

For some owners, the reckoning comes gradually—an animal that no longer fits through a dog door, a fence that needs reinforcing, a zoning notice from a town that classifies pigs as livestock.

Colleen Hinds runs a sanctuary in Arizona. Her own introduction to pigs began in 2000, when she ordered one from Hawaii that was expected to reach 70 pounds. It arrived the size of a guinea pig—and grew to 130.

Today, Hinds receives hundreds of requests a year to rehome mini pigs in her area alone. She describes a loose, often frantic network of volunteers shuttling pigs across county lines to keep them from being listed as “free food” on Facebook. She’s hauled pigs down apartment stairwells and coaxed them into crates for transport.

A client was asking me to sum up the differences in temperament between potbellies and Kune Kune yesterday….this is what ChatGPT had to say:

🐖 Potbellied Pig (Female) Temperament
More independent & stubborn – Potbellies are known for being clever and headstrong. They often test boundaries and can be more territorial.
Can be moody with heat cycles – Intact females especially may become pushy, vocal, or even aggressive during heat.
Higher energy, sometimes mischievous – They like rooting, exploring, and sometimes getting into trouble if not well-enriched.
Affectionate but selective – Potbellies often bond strongly with their primary caregiver but may be aloof or less tolerant of others.
🐷 KuneKune (Female) Temperament
Naturally more docile – Kunes were bred as grazing pigs and tend to be gentler and calmer by nature.
Very social & people-oriented – They often seek out human interaction and enjoy scratches and companionship.
Lower rooting drive – Compared to potbellies, Kunes root less destructively and are content grazing, which makes them easier on pastures and lawns.
Steadier temperament – Even intact females tend to be less moody than potbellies, though spaying still helps with consistency.
⭐ Key Differences
Potbellies: Smarter, more stubborn, can be moody, higher-maintenance behaviorally.
KuneKunes: Calmer, friendlier, more predictable, and easier for families or small farms to manage.
