There are moments as a trainer that make you proud, and then there are moments that remind you exactly why you do what you do.
Watching Gunnar step into the show pen at her very first horse show and not only do an amazing job, but go on to win her classes, was something special. The hard work, dedication, and countless hours she’s put in at home have been reflected in her growth as both a rider and horsewoman at such young age.
What makes this journey even more meaningful is the full circle it has come. Years ago, when she was just one year old, I gifted her my son’s pony. To now see her riding, showing, and achieving success alongside me is something I could have never imagined back then.
The ribbons are wonderful, but what I’m most proud of is the confidence she’s gained, the work ethic she’s developed, and the young horsewoman she’s becoming. This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes her.
So incredibly proud of you and all you’ve accomplished.
