Ram Branch Farm

A beautiful end to a busy day of lessons! 🌅 I’m usually "all business" while teaching, but when my students pointed out this sunset during our cool down, we had to stop for a quick photo. 📸
​Huge thanks to this wonderful group of riders for making today so special!

Early this morning Splash passed peacefully just a few months shy of his 30th birthday. While I knew this day was coming i had hoped for more time. The farm will be closed today to mourn the loss of this amazing gilding. He was the horse a literally built my program off his back. From lessons with special needs riders to winning trophies at the state level, summee camps or an easy going trail ride, he did it all. Was as solid as they came. He will be greatly missed.

If you have been trying to get in touch with us the last few week and have missed us. We are sorry. It's been a very stressful and busy time. We have alot of changes going on currently. That been said here is some of out happier times!
We had back to back shows and the crew really showed up and showed out. I missed some of the places with all the craziness of the show but heres what i got down. Last weekend as a group we walked away with two 1st, four 2nds, seven 3rds, four 4ths, and five 5ths. This weekend as a group we got three 1st, five 2nds, two 3rds, four 4ths, and five 5ths. I am so proud of all the riders but I have to to give a huge shout out to Reid. She's been riding Tonka for about 4 yrs and and with his passing just 6 days before last weekends show it was a huge change and obviously sad. Reid step up ( literally and figuratively) to ride June (who is huge) after only minimal prep rides together. Oh and June has only ever road English before these two great shows. Poor June is probably sick of me schooling her western pleasure right now 🤣They still have some work to do but keep at eye out for these two. I love watching all my crew grow and improve.
