It’s these moments…not just a chance for Dottie to ride Cherry. That’s what it looks like but it is SO much more than that. It’s the conversation at the trailer about braiding her hair, having a clean turnout and well shaped hat, being prepared, managing nerves, accepting help from her amazing reined Cowhorse family, horsemanship and traditions. The Future Stars class is a great opportunity for kids to have exposure in the arena which also helps in the arena of life. Dottie groomed, mucked stalls, fed treats and waited oh so patiently all four days of the show for her few minutes in the ring. That’s a huge wait when you’re 5. thank you for including the Future Stars class at your shows. I’m sure you’ll see Dottie and Cherry going down the fence in the future. And I pray I’m here to see but I know she has had a big start in a humbling sport with the best circle of people
