Horses horses horses 

Barn Warming Party!! 

Riding lessons

3 months pregnant! 

Our dump quonset that we thought we should put dirt in so we could have an indoor riding space- not a great idea in hindsight. as soon as we could we took it all back out!

Our awesome neighbor, who helped us with the dirt also helped me when I lost a round bale on the highway! 

Showing Jackie, The filly that I trained for the 2015 Rocking Heart Ranch colt starting competition. Her owner is such a great person, and was nice enough to let me show her at an open show in our area. Junior horse highpoint champions!
