We just got home from another great show put on by NOQHA! As always, we’d like to thank Chris Darnell and her staff, along with The University of Findlay, Jake Bowman, and his staff for putting on another great, well-run show.
While it was definitely a HOT one 🥵, we had a lot of learning experiences and everyone just keeps getting better, so what more could you ask for!?
💙 Lynix Doench and W***y Be Lopin made their second show together even better than the first, and they just keep improving every time they step in the pen! They also looked absolutely adorable thanks to AGAVA for always having Lynix dressed to the nines for her western classes!
🍻 CoronasMakeMeSleepy 💤 and Diane Harmon strapped on their running shoes this week! They completed SIX showmanship runs (including two L2 Select go’s!) and then turned around and tackled six halter classes, including Grand and Reserve. 😅😮💨👏 Great job not passing out!🏃♀️
💙 While KC only got to show the first round, they are definitely putting the pieces together and we’re excited about what the future holds for this team.
💙 Diane also got to show a little extra during the second round, and they are shaping up to be a very competitive team! To say she’s enjoying the way a pleasure horse rides nowadays compared to the 80s and 90s is an understatement! 😂
Congratulations to everyone for constantly working hard, improving, and striving to get better every time you walk through the gate. 💪🏻👏🏼

A special thank you goes out to Storm Kindle for always making sure we get to the shows safely. While he missed out on most of the week, everyone was happy to see him show up for the weekend! Thank you for everything you do to keep the train on the tracks—even when I yell at you sometimes. 😂
We’d also like to thank Bar W and Willie Mathews for leasing 🤴 W***y Be Lopin 🐴 to Lynix Doench and giving her the opportunity to continue showing without the expense of purchasing another horse right now. If you find yourself in a situation where owning another horse isn’t feasible but you’d still like your child to have the opportunity to show Quarter Horses, reach out to Willie at Bar W and ask about their leasing opportunities!
And of course, 😍 Miss Hazel 💎 made the trip as well as we continue preparing for Congress 2026. She is such a sweet little angel and is coming along so nicely. She’s truly a one-in-a-million kind of horse, and we’re incredibly thankful to have her. ❤️
On to the next one! 🚛🐴
