Seeking a responsible, dependable individual to assist with daily barn chores. Duties may include feeding, watering, stall cleaning, turnout, and general barn upkeep.

First victory pass with my grandson Jaxon in the buggy with me. Making memories everyday.

06/09/2026

After a successful week at the Blowing Rock Horse Show, we are heading home with countless memories and so much gratitude. Our horses were all on point and gave their absolute best every time they entered the ring. We are also incredibly thankful for our team and the village that stands behind us—it truly takes all of you.

Powerball was named Reserve Champion and Reserve Grand Champion in the Amateur Road Horse to Bike division. David and Bouncy were unbelievable in their debut performance together, earning third place in both of their large classes in a new division.

Miley and Heather captured Reserve Champion and Reserve Grand Champion honors in the Amateur Road Pony to Bike division.

Jaybird finished the show in spectacular fashion, earning Open Road Horse to Bike Champion and Open Road Horse Grand Champion, taking home the Johnny Wellington Trophy for the second consecutive year.

A special thank you goes to Tyler and Devon Reese, who were a tremendous asset throughout the week, staying on top of everything while showing genuine hospitality every step of the way. Back at home, Trey, Dakota, Halee, and Lexi kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to focus on the show. Thank you as well to Trever and Aly for helping us get home and always being willing to jump in and lend a hand.

The biggest memory of all will be watching Jaxon climb into the buggy with his Gi-Gi and make his very first victory pass after winning that Grand Champion title. It was a moment that brought the crowd to its feet and one we will never forget.

The week was filled with many emotions. Just moments before Jaybird entered the ring, we experienced a devastating event that could have changed everything. Yet somehow, that victory pass changed the atmosphere entirely. It felt as though Dad's presence was there with us, watching his horse make one more trip around the ring. It was a powerful reminder of why we do this, the memories we make, and the people who remain with us in spirit long after they're gone.

What a week. What a team. What a family. We are blessed beyond measure and grateful for every horse, every helper, every friend, and every memory made along the way. ❤️🐴🏆

🏆 Champion Manor is a little behind on sharing our celebration wins from last weekend’s horse show in Asheville — but they are worth celebrating!

We were thrilled to get our Saddlebred mare, Maya, off the farm and back onto the show grounds. It had been some time since this special girl stepped back into the show ring, and what a comeback it was.

Being part of this journey with Tyler and Maya created memories we will never forget. Trainer Gina has put in countless long hours building this partnership, and it showed the moment they stepped into the ring.

In Maya’s first class back, she came out a blue ribbon winner, proving she still had what it takes and held her own beautifully with her partner, Tyler. In her second class, she earned Reserve Champion honors. We are absolutely over the moon for this special team and so proud of what they accomplished together.

We were also proud to show our very own road horse, Jaybird, who was crowned Roadster to Bike Champion on Saturday night! 🥇

It truly takes a village to make these wins possible, and we are incredibly thankful for our home team who keeps everything running while we’re on the road.

Thank you to all of our supporters for cheering us on — we couldn’t do it without you! ❤️🐴
