What a week at the **Big Sky Reining Classic!** ❤️
There are some moments in this business that mean a little more than just a score, and marking a **144 on Mr Right Now**, a 4-year-old gelding, was one of those moments for me. Watching a young horse step into the arena, give you everything he has, and put together a run like that is something I’ll never take for granted. I couldn’t be more excited about this young horse and what the future holds for him!
**Born A Shining Star** also had a week to be proud of, making her way into the **$10K in earnings** this week. She has continued to prove herself and has been such a rewarding mare to have in the program. ⭐
I’m also incredibly proud of **TJ Knutson** and **Kall of Duty** for winning money in the **3-Year-Old Futurity**! What a great accomplishment for a young horse with a bright future ahead.
**Cassy Davis** also brought home money in the **Non Pro**, and I couldn’t be happier with the effort she put in.
And a huge congratulations to **Shelby Samuelson** for making the **Rookie Shootout finals!** Seeing the hard work, dedication, and confidence come together when it counts is what this is all about.
**Dondi Hilderbrand** and **Mikalah Marbach** both had wonderful rides in their classes as well. I’m proud of everyone who stepped through that gate and put their best foot forward.
This week was a reminder of why we do what we do. The early mornings, long days, countless hours in the saddle, and all the work behind the scenes are worth it when you get to watch these horses and riders grow and succeed.
I’m incredibly thankful for this group of horses, riders, owners, friends, and family who continue to put in the work and support us along the way. ❤️
Now it’s time to head to **Nampa** and get ready to show at the **Low Roller!** Looking forward to another great week and seeing what these horses have in store for us.
**So proud. So thankful. And so excited for what’s ahead!** 🤠❤️
