She’s a 2023 AQHA sorrel mare, 14.3, Metallic Cat granddaughter (Denvers Nugget x Smart Marry).

Pretty head, great lope, good mind — started right.

We’ll show her stand, walk, trot, and lope and answer questions in real time.

She sells Saturday, September 19 at the Dexter Horse Sale in Dexter, NM.

Julie Wilson is an exceptional horsewoman, and we’re lucky to have her here. The kids think so too.

Over the next few days we’re sharing a series of short videos from our students saying thank you to Miss Julie for the time she spends helping them get ready for shows and events, including the one coming up this weekend.

Here’s the first one:

Justa Hot Sister — Bandida to all of us.

She’s an AQHA registered mare and a proven winner in cutting and cow horse. She’s also the one the little ones walk straight up to. That quiet moment at the fence is something we see often, and it never gets old.
Bandida has been a favorite for years, and she continues to be the horse so many people connect with, especially the kids.

Thank you, Bandida, for being so consistently good at what you do. 🐴

Cow horse Wednesday… until it wasn’t.
Practice started with the usual plan of sorting and cutting, and somehow turned into roping. Nobody complained. Loops were flying.
Still counts as cow horse practice. 😉
