What a weekend!! First of all thank you to all who came to our fall finale event and who supported us all season long!! Despite a bit of some much needed rain coming down on us Friday you guys braved it out and I’ve noticed so many posts saying you ran some of your fastest times of the season!! That is so cool!
Even with puddles and mud our arena was built to with stand this. I think seeing as many posts as I have about running your fastest times this weekend that proves it to all the doubters! 😅
It’s hard to put everything I want to recap and say into one post without making it a novel but I will share some of my personal favorite moments of the weekend! First off, the p*e wees, if you missed out on watching them compete their final run and then come to the awards ceremony you missed out on one of the most special times of the season! The smiles as they ran in the rain and mud, their grit and determination, and their moments of pure joy just made my whole weekend! Then we do the awards ceremony and I had a little surprise of some extra $$ for them. Your showdown champion even gave a victory lap when he received his envelope! I don’t think anything topped that for my favorite moment of the weekend ♥️
It’s not a secret that I had to face just a couple major challenges this weekend. One happened to include a few awards that we quickly had to figure out a new game plan for within 2 hours of the p*e wee ceremony and then for our Saturday awards ceremony as well. I just want to say a big thank you to Trish with Rohling Hills Saddlery & Leather for helping out and having great options to at least be able to give something away even though we didn’t have time to customize the title on it! She helped make a very upsetting and stressful moment better and her tack is great! I definitely recommend her for any future leather item needs!!
I have everyone but about 5 people paid out, if your one of those people you can message me if you would like check sent or send your Venmo info! 💰
Again thank you to all who came this weekend. Over 250 runs made with no slips or falls even in the mud and we gave out over $30,000 plus some big awards, I think that’s an okay weekend!
Thank you to our amazing photographer Taylor Ledgerwood Photography for capturing the best moments of the season I appreciate you so much!! ♥️
