Well just this week it was officially announced that I am a candidate for Miss Rodeo USA, nervous, excited, and just really really busy only begins to describe everything going through my head. Am I ready to tackle the biggest challenge of my life (yes it is even bigger than trying to make the corgi […]
I am so thankful, for so many things that they could never possibly be written. But mostly I want to say I am thankful for each and every individual that has passed through my life, equine, canine and human. I am incredibly blessed for all of you, and the ways that you improve my life.
Whew I survived! My first Grand National Rodeo as a staff member. With 2 weeks, visits from 5 family members, one botched horse show class, and 500 students in one school tour; I can officially say this was the best Grand National ever. Running around our facility I was right in my element, making sure […]
Well I am back at it again, bit by the rodeo bug. After a personal phone call from one Harmony Latham, hometown friend and Miss Rodeo USA herself, I headed to the Miss Rodeo USA Clinic. One jet plane ride, three days of instruction and several strangers turned family I walked away with a ton […]
Well, big kid life can’t keep me down for long! This weekend I was able to escape the big city and venture south for the iconic, California Rodeo Salinas. Following Mother-Lode when I sent Mouse down south, she was quickly scooped up by Rachel. With her pony out of commission it was my turn to […]

I was so incredibly excited to share my rodeo not only with Rachelle, whom I had watched be crowned, but also Miss Rodeo California, Rachel, who I traveled with earlier […]
It is May? Seriously I cannot believe it is May. I am officially no longer a rodeo queen. I’m what we affectionately call a has-been. But before I can get into that, I have to tell you about the last month! Following the wedding in true Reba style I managed to kill my truck, like […]
It is almost May… I can’t believe it’s almost May. So much has happened that I have forgotten half it. But let me tell you it’s been so worth it. We survived millions of ticket turn-ins, realized each and every one of these girls are my new family and traveled to several rodeos. One of […]
At Motherlode we have a very unique (ok yea like half what we do is weird and different) tradition. Coyote Sam and his band of bandits (read this as a bunch of the Posse guys dressed in costumes) hijack downtown, ride horses up the street with cars, shoot black powder guns and steal something that […]
