Best Little Derby In The West was a lot of fun as always! These shows are always so well put together and run.

Katie and Tatooedawhizzenchic had a great time at their first big show together. They put together some great runs all week and had a solid run in the Novice Horse Non Pro L2, landing in the money.

Juliana and Cheerwine N Sunshine had a great ride in the youth 13-Under landing 6th.

Thomas and Finals Nite finished 6th in the Open, also bringing home a check.

Thomas and Whizzler had their first show together and put together a strong run in the 4-Year-Old Derby. We are excited to see what the future holds for this talented young horse.

Annalee and Frosted Mercedes had a good week with several solid runs as well, finishing just out of the money in two classes.

We also took two 3-year-olds, Vintage Voodoo Girl and Four Gun Whiz. We enjoyed getting them exposed to a large show environment and the busy warm-up pens to help set them up for success in the future. They handled everything like pros!

We can’t thank our team enough for the support and trust they give us!
