Cowgirl Karson

Yippee! Karson got first place yesterday in the 3D NBHA horse show at Thompson Stables! We are so proud of her. She has been working so hard with her horses and taking riding lessons at least once a week and it finally paid off. Her horse journey has been a long one but she has stuck with it and continued to work hard. She began this endeavor with Bailey. She has made a lot of progress with her but she just isn't "race" ready yet. Uncle Lance convinced her to try Classy. Classy has a little more attitude then Bailey but a lot more barrel experience. Karson was game, she'd try it. She's been riding Classy daily, taking her lessons and gaining confidence in herself and the horse. Feeling more confident about her riding ability she decided she would try Chance. Chance is Melissa's old barrel horse, that really hasn't been ridden in a long time. Chance quickly became apart of Karson's daily horse routine. Finally after all her hard work, lessons and even a couple butt chewings, she and Chance walked away winners yesterday. For winning she received a check and a bag of horse treats. To show Bailey and Classy how much she appreciated all their hard work, Karson shared the treats and gave them each one. However, Chance was the winner and he got TWO! Congratulations Karson and Chance.
