Turns out you have to stop horse showing long enough to post about horse showingโฆ and apparently we never did. ๐๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
The horses got shown, the pictures got taken, and we made a whole lot of great memories โ we just forgot the part where we told Facebook about it.
So, better late than neverโฆ buckle up for a VERY overdue Double Ott Ranch summer show recap! ๐ด๐
Next stop โก๏ธ CONGRESS ๐โค๏ธ
๐Anna LeGault & Ruff Cut Jewels
From the broodmare pasture back to the show pen, Anna and Miss Piggy have come SO far this season and we couldnโt be prouder. Only the real ones know just how big of an accomplishment this actually is. ๐ If you know, YOU KNOW. We are so proud of these two for proving thereโs still plenty of gas left in the tank and every cent closer to over $10k in earnings!
๐ฅ Amanda Shank & Hollywood Rowdy
Amanda and her trusty steed Rowdy spent the summer finally clicking all the pieces into place, turning in solid runs and bringing home wins and reserve championships in the Rookie! We are so proud of Amanda for continuing to show up, work hard, and trust the process even when it gets tough โค๏ธ
๐ธMya Campbell & Ifwhizsweresassy
Mya learned just how rewarding it is to train your own 3-year-old from start to finish and take them into the show penโฆ and also how very unrewarding it can feel at times. ๐ But she DID THE DAMN THING, and we are so proud of her and Jovi! Starting one yourself isnโt for the weak, and watching these two grow together has been pretty special. She also got to have some fun aboard our girl Julip, who occasionally reminded her what it feels like to ride one with a few more miles on the odometer. ๐
๐ค Kylee Czaruk & Golden Mecom Cat
Kylee and Sage spent their summer having some fun in the ranch pen, racking up AQHA points and becoming a better, stronger team with every trip through the gate. Kylee has worked hard on her riding, and weโre incredibly proud of the progress these two have made. Now itโs time for the big stage this fall...๐
๐ฅ Bella Topetzes & Rock On Wimpy
Bella and Johnny joined our crew later this year and apparently decided there was no need for an adjustment period. ๐ They came out swinging at CORHA, sweeping the youth 14-18 wins! Weโre so proud of Bella and canโt wait to watch these two keep growing together as she gets ready for her next adventure โ college! โค๏ธ
Our fearless leader Nate Ottaway had some fun showing our loyal customers young horses a few times and turning them into the solid citizens we know they are destined to be!
Dunitwithbucklebunnies is turning into the 3 year old we all want- broke, easy, safe, and talented!
Gunner Tinsel Jac made his show pen debut, marking a 72 his first run out and we can't wait to see his progress the rest of the fall.
Thank you to just a few of the associations who's shows we frequented and put in all the hard work putting on amazing events!

๐ด To ALL of our riders and ownersโฆ
To every person and horse who came through our program this summer โ whether you showed with us all season, hauled in for lessons, came along to one show, or just worked toward becoming a little better than you were yesterday โ THANK YOU. We genuinely love helping you and your horses. Watching you reach goals, gain confidence, overcome frustrations and occasionally question all of your life choices because of a horse ๐ is what makes this life so fulfilling for us.
โ๏ธ Summer Camp Crew
We also had an AWESOME week with our summer camp kids! Lots of riding, learning, laughing, and horse-loving. Getting to introduce the next generation to horses and watch their confidence grow throughout the week is always one of our favorite parts of summer.
โค๏ธ And last but DEFINITELY not least โ our home crew.
While weโre off gallivanting around the countryside showing horses, thereโs an amazing group of people at home making sure the barn doesnโt burn down and everyone is fed, watered and accounted for. ๐ We appreciate you more than you know!
