This one is so special. ❤️

Ella Kate and her family came into our lives several years ago, and somewhere along the way, they became family to us. Her dad’s love for horses was passed down to this very special girl, and we know he was up there riding every step with her. ❤️

Watching Ella Kate and J Loww become L3 14–18 Western Pleasure Youth World Champions is a moment we will never forget. 🏆

Ella Kate, we are so incredibly proud of you. This girl, this horse, this family… so much love. ❤️

WORLD CHAMPIONS! 🌎🏆

Lee Myatt, “Termite,” passed away this morning. He was a character like no other.

The first horse he ever shod for us was Dee Invitation in September 1996. Six weeks later, that horse went on to win the Congress 2-Year-Old Futurity. From that day forward, for the next 25+ years, I never once questioned his loyalty or his work.

I can’t count the times he’d say, “I’ve known that guy since he was a kid,” and honestly, I think he probably had.

Thank you for everything you did for us, Termite. There will never be another like you.

Congratulations to Corbett Ryan, who rides with Diane and Partners for Progress, on the purchase of the Marvelous Marvin!

We are so extremely grateful and honored to have helped put this team together alongside Ruth Ellen with Horse Source Inc. Programs like Equestrian With Disabilities bring so much joy and opportunity to so many individuals, and we are proud to be a small part of it all. ❤️

It was an incredible experience to have Corbett’s team out to the ranch and see the bond that is already being created.

While we will definitely miss Marvin around the barn, we know he has found the perfect home and cannot wait to watch this partnership grow! Watch the video in the comment section..❤️

Congratulations to Tara and Harper Zaremski on the purchase of Wine Charm! “Mabel” will now be under the guidance of Justin Melvin Show Horses, and we couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter.

We can’t wait to cheer this team on and watch all the great things ahead for them! 💜🐴
