Sierra

     Relationship first is her motto! Sierra is working with her horses Jack, Charlie, Sugar, Ralph, and Sassy, both very different horses. Her riding is coming along while she is also a humdinger of an on-line leader:) She even took Parelli to the Alpaca's~

 

 

Chantel

     Way more than riding is what she is up to with the horses! Friendly friendly friendly is what she has taken to a new level with Biscuit! Chantel has put the relationship first and succesfully is able to play soccer all over and under Biscuit! Tavish is who she is showing and working on trust and leadership in that relationship:)

Continues to develop awesome relationships with both Biscuit and Tavish, she is going to go far!
