There’s something powerful about watching young riders step into a sold out rodeo arena with courage in their hearts and purpose in their minds. 🇺🇸

Yesterday at the Valley Center Stampede Rodeo Junior Bell Races, the day felt especially meaningful with Memorial Day on all of our minds. Our girls stayed focused, rode with heart, and showed incredible bravery in front of thousands of spectators.

A huge congratulations to Abbey Lynn for bringing home the fastest time and a first place finish! What a beautiful run her and her horse Lucy!

Both of these young ladies have been students of ours for many years. To watch them work hard, prepare, practice, overcome nerves, and then step into that huge arena with confidence is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do at Stoney Oaks Ranch.

The growth, grit, courage, and determination these girls continue to show makes us beyond proud. ❤️🐴🇺🇸

From little girl hugs on horseback… to fierce runs in the arena.

Through the years there are victories, frustrations, tears, laughter, hard lessons, and moments of quiet growth that no one else could see yet. And through it all, she keeps growing. Stronger. Braver. More independent.

This is more than learning to ride a horse.
It’s the journey of a young girl becoming a confident young lady.

The greatest honor of this work is getting to witness who these kids become over the years. Watching confidence replace fear. Watching leadership emerge. Watching them realize they are capable of more than they ever imagined.

This is our ‘why’….

Why the long days, early mornings, stress, vet bills, blood, sweat and tears?

On Monday my sweet, very pregnant, Ali girl went for her ultrasound. We made the decision to leave her in the amazingly capable hands of Secret Hills Ranch, where she will have her baby. I will sleep well knowing she is where she is not only loved but they have the experience and equipment to give her and her baby the best birthing experience. Prayers for a healthy mama and baby! Can wait to bring them both home soon. I miss my girl already.
