Pinching ourselves today!

We are so incredibly honored to have our inaugural Women’s Western Industry Social featured in COWGIRL Magazine!
When we first envisioned this night at Blackwater Ranch, we talked about it being a truly authenticity experience, just a relaxed backyard barn setting where women of all ages could connect, share career opportunities, and find real mentorship.

Here is what's waiting for you at the ranch on Friday, September 11th:
- Connections over comfort food during our relaxed welcome phase.
- "Impact Stories" of resilience, grit, and leadership from women across the industry.
- An immersive social phase featuring local boutique shopping and a hat bar.
- Partnering with category-leading brands like our founding partner, Ariat

The best part? This is a 100% charitable model. Your $25 ticket goes directly to support A Soldier's Child Foundation honoring the legacies of our fallen heroes by investing in their children.

Head to the link in our bio to read the full feature on Cowgirl Magazine and secure your spot under the barn lights!

✨ A Little Update for Our Riding Family ✨

As our program continues to grow and evolve, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how I want to continue providing the quality instruction, care, and experience that I’m proud to offer here at the farm.

With that in mind, beginning September 1st, our updated lesson and roping rates will be:
🐴 Private Riding Lesson — $85
🐴 Group Riding Lesson — $70
🤠 Mounted Roping Lesson — $85
🤠 Unmounted Roping Lesson — $50
🐴 30-Minute Lead-Around Lesson — $50

I know anytime pricing changes, it can be an adjustment, and I truly appreciate everyone who has supported me and my program along the way. ❤️ These decisions weren’t made lightly, but they’re an important step in allowing me to continue investing in the horses, the farm, and the experience I’m able to provide for each of my riders. We have waited a long time and pushed this off for a while, but we can no longer sustain at the prices that we have been at. We want everybody to feel welcome and be able to afford Lessons. But moving forward, this is what we have to do to be able to continue.

I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who chooses to ride with me, trusts me with their horses and their children, and has helped this program become what it is today. 🐴❤️

There are so many exciting things ahead, and I’m looking forward to continuing to grow, teach, and create a place where riders can learn, gain confidence, and enjoy their time with horses.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for continuing to support our little farm! ❤️🐴
