Our sweet barn cat, Sunshine, passed away this morning. 🤍

We have loved her ever since the day she showed up at our barn over 10 years ago and decided this was her home.

She was truly the sweetest girl. She loved being petted, being held, and curling up in anyone’s lap who would have her. Over the years, she was loved by so many kids through lessons, camps, and everyone who came to visit the barn. She was part of HT, and it’s going to feel so strange without her here.

We are going to miss our sweet Sunshine so much. 🤍

If your child takes lessons with us, please let them know about Sunshine. I know so many of them loved her dearly too.

Rest easy, Sunshine. ☀️ Thank you for choosing our barn to be your home for all these years. 🤍

We had a great first day at the CAQHA show! 🐴

So proud of all of our girls and horses for their hard work today. Everyone had some great rides, learned a lot, and made the most of a long show day!

Now it’s time to rest up and get ready to do it all again tomorrow 🤍

After Tinsley’s lesson, she decided she wanted to take Shammy on a little walk. 😂❤️

Safe to say, this girl loves her some Shamrock! 🍀🐴

This is seriously the cutest video. 🥹❤️

We had a great weekend in Graham! 🤠 Now that we’re finally rested, it’s time to post results!

This weekend was such a great progress show for our team. Three of the horses we hauled are still new to showing and needed more time, miles, and experience in the show pen. Not every show is about chasing wins, sometimes it’s about building confidence, working through the hard moments, and giving these horses the experience they need to become solid competitors. And that’s exactly what our girls did! ❤️

So proud of all of these girls! Seasoning horses isn’t always easy and it definitely isn’t always fun 😂 but weekends like this are how good show horses are made. They kept riding, kept learning, and gave their horses the experience they came for.

Most importantly, everyone came home safe, with happy horses and more experience under their belts. Thank you, God, for a safe weekend, safe travels, and the opportunity to do what we love. ❤️🙏

On to the next one! 🤠

What an amazing day! 🤍🐴

Today marked the final day of our Advanced Camp and our 2026 HT Horsemanship Showcase! Family and friends came out to watch the girls perform their drill team routine and compete in our mini horse show. It was the perfect way to celebrate an incredible week of hard work, growth, and dedication.

Congratulations to all of our award recipients!

To top it all off, we surprised each of the girls with their very own custom belt buckle! Every buckle was personalized with the rider’s name, their horse’s name, and jeweled in their favorite color. Seeing their reactions made all the planning worthwhile!

A huge thank you to all of the parents and family members who came out to support the girls today. We couldn’t do what we do without your encouragement and willingness to help.

Lastly, a very special thank you to our incredible sponsors for making these awards possible:

🤍 Virda Davis for sponsoring the trophies.
🤍 ET Plumbing for sponsoring all of the ribbons.
🤍 River City Heavy Haul for sponsoring the buckles.

I am beyond proud of every single one of these girls. Watching them grow, not only as riders but as young women has been such a blessing. My heart is so full, and I am incredibly thankful for this amazing group and the memories we made this week. ❤️
