First crop of colts stepping into work and following in some serious footsteps. 🐎✨

There’s nothing like watching the next generation take after a mare this special. Big movement, great mind, and a whole lot of promise ahead.

What an exciting Saturday night watching Slade Moody ride! He finished as the top rider at the Higher Trails Rodeo and it’s such a privilege to support this incredible young man.

At just 15 years old, Slade is competing against adults and proving that toughness, perseverance, discipline, and a strong work ethic can take you a long way. What stands out even more than his talent is his genuine joy and humble attitude.

If you’re looking for someone to cheer on, consider supporting Slade’s journey. Better yet, find a young person in your own community and encourage them as they pursue their dreams. A little support can make a lifelong difference.

Congratulations, Slade Moody! Keep chasing your goals—we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.
