Any time she asks to go to a horsemanship clinic I gladly take her because she is just absorbing it all right now. The quality of horses she is riding has also gotten better throughout the years as well

Smooth is fast and fast is good. Jacque Woolman has really been a great mentor and role model to Riley. She also preaches to Riley the importance of horsemanship

Congrats again to Riley. Gator and her are doing great. Is she going to compete in the Gunner Thames rodeo? It pays well and there is also a barrel race in Dripping that weekend that pays really well. Only 20 entered up in it last year.

That's great with Sarah. As far as the Gunner Thames I'm not sure. I will have to ask. Would like to run there for sure.
