The Kiddo made the National Finals in horseback riding! Last year she didn’t get an invite to this show and she was bummed. This year she even rode on her birthday (after she had said she really didn’t want to…at first). She has been working really hard to get a spot on her ranch team and we are over the moon excited for her. Last year her ranch only took 11 students to Nationals… out of almost a hundred kiddos!

We are also excited to be attending with her. This will be quite an experience that I, for one, am looking forward to having with my girl. All the hard work on all of our parts and all of the sacrifice is paying off. This is going to be something she will remember for the rest of her life. Hopefully this is the first of many trips we will be taking with her and I truly hope this will be a weekend to remember for her.

As a parent I know I have been totally amazed by this child on more than one occasion. I have a feeling there will be others…but somehow the first is always the best.

Good Luck Kiddo and we are all rooting for you!!!
