It’s the month to be thankful and WOW do I have a lot to be thankful for! If there was one thing I had to pick that I am most thankful for right now though, I would have to pick my clients. I have such an amazing group of people that I get to work for and I feel so supported by all of you. Every single one of you has given me wings this year! Our barn has grown, both in people and in horses! We have also made new friends in other states! It has been one exciting year.
For those of you who have stayed close to home this year, thank you! For all of your help in keeping the ranch going while I’ve been gone. For being my consistent flow of income while I’m home and for always being reliable customers, I am so grateful! Thank you for making it possible to keep this business alive! And to all of you for when you are at the barn, thank you for keeping it such a positive environment! I get compliments all the time for how peaceful and positive our barn family is. The truth is, I don’t have to work hard to keep it that way because all of my clients are wonderfully positive people! Thank you all for providing a safe and cheerful environment for everyone to learn in.
For those of you who have trusted me with your children and ponies over long distances, thank you! I know the responsibility you hand over when you leave a child in my care for a week, and I feel honored to carry that responsibility. I am so blessed to be able to work with such talented kids, especially when I get to show off their talents out of state! Whether we are at shows or at clinics, these kids always give me their all and I am so lucky to be able to work with them. I have never had the opportunity to take students as far as these have come, and the fun part is, they aren’t finished yet! I can’t wait for the next couple years with these talented young ladies!
And to those of you in Texas who I have just begun to work with, thank you for all your wonderful hospitality and always making me feel so welcome! I have met the most remarkable people there! Thank you for getting me started there and thank you for helping me grow! I can’t even believe my clinics there have grown three times what they started out as in May. I am so excited to be working with the people in Fredericksburg, and so grateful to you all who have supported me there!
I am unbelievably blessed to be growing my business every year, but this year has certainly been one for the books. Thank you all for helping me do what I love. I hope everyone enjoyed the adventure with me!
