🍁What an amazing end to our show season last weekend at the AMHC Triple Show! 🍁
Thank you to the committee, Judges, stewards, sponsors and helpers for putting on a great event and giving up your time for our little horses 🦄🤩

A smaller team than normal with 5 horses shown and now headed back north for some downtime before the next round 🌟

Thank you Bill & Robyn for driving many kms to pick me up, a huge trip for the babies who all traveled & showed well.
Super results for all 5 horses, thank you Sinead for helping in the ring, as always you do an amazing job with every horse!
A great weekend seeing all our Northern friends
