It’s hard to believe it has been 25 years. We are so blessed to live the life we do. Eternally grateful for those who serve our country to protect our way of life. Thank you to all our military service members and first responders who serve our country and communities.

It has been a busy week around here! Friends and clients prepping for a busy show schedule this coming week. Best of Luck to everyone as we all seem to be going separate ways.

Bailey Rhea Smith, Paisley Smith & Steely Smith and the entire Owl Canyon Performance Horses crew (Delaney Helgans, Ginger Matney and Dagney Matney) will be competing at the AQHA Versitility Ranch Horse World Show. It was fun having Miriam Stephenson and her clients at the house this week.

Callie Beach is headed to the APHA World Championship Show

Amanda West, Brittany Curlee, Hayley Rusler and I are headed to Douglas for the Colorado Reined Cowhorse Association Firecracker show.

With the help of great friends we safely evacuated our home on Friday. We are so blessed to have amazing friends and a great community. A special thanks to Jay, Wendy and Cutter for helping haul and house horses until it was safe for us to return home.
