🚨 Lexington Junior League friends!
I’ll be doing a book signing for How to NOT Annoy the Judge on Thursday, July 9 from 6:00–7:00 p.m. at the Deardorff Stable stalls. 📚🐴

Bring your book with you or grab one there. I’ll have hardcovers for $33 and paperbacks for $20 available at the signing.

Everyone who gets a book signed will receive a free branded bookmark, and the first 5 people to stop by for a signature will get a free surprise gift. 👀

I’m really looking forward to signing books and getting to catch up with some of you I haven’t seen yet this season.

I always enjoy running into Tim Roesink. If you’ve spent any time around Morgans, you know exactly who he is. Fiercely competitive and someone who takes this sport seriously while somehow still having fun doing it.

Earlier this year, Tim judged a horse show where our barn was exhibiting. After the show, I sent him a message thanking him for taking the time to judge. I try to do that whenever I can because I know firsthand how difficult it is to balance training horses, traveling, and judging. Those who make time to give back to the industry deserve to hear “thank you.” 👏

He replied, “Thanks…how do I get a copy of your book?” 📚

I’ll admit, I was pretty surprised he even knew I’d written one. Of course, I got him one as fast as I could.

Fast forward to last week when I ran into him again.
“I read your book,” he said.

Then came the words that made my stomach drop.
“I’ve got to tell you…I was highly skeptical about it.”

I swallowed hard, prepared for the worst. 😬
Then he smiled.

“But it was a really good read. You covered everything people need to hear and I enjoyed it.”
Thank goodness. 🙏

We talked about it for a while and before I walked away I asked, “Can I quote you?” 😂

It’s one thing to have people enjoy the book. It’s another when someone who has spent a lifetime at the very top of our industry tells you that you got it right.

And if Tim started out skeptical and still came away thinking it was worth reading, maybe you will too.

📚🔖 Good news: the bookmarks were found.

Despite rumors to the contrary, the official How to NOT Annoy the Judge bookmarks were never actually in the dumpster. There was a brief investigation. No bookmarks were harmed in the making of this story. 😜

🚨 The Shopify Store is back up and running! 🚨

After relocating to Kentucky for show season, unpacking approximately 47 tack trunks, and spending an unreasonable amount of time looking for things I personally packed, I have finally gotten myself organized enough to ship signed copies of *How to NOT Annoy the Judge.*

As it turns out, writing a book was easier than organizing my life well enough to mail it.
