A long, hot week at the fair has come to an end and we made it through.
As demanding a commmitment as it is in itself, the extra work has been compounded by the heartbreaking loss our family endured just a few months ago.
Luke began working with Graffiansdipity Smoke back in March.
Smoke is a retired reiner, who did not know what to do when she wasn't able to do her job she so loved for many years.
Aubrey took her in and gave her a new job as a lesson horse. But it still wasn't the same. So Aubrey paired Luke with her, and something clicked. It was at a time, they both needed each other.
Under the training of Flint and Aubrey of Adkins Quarter Horses, Smoke is being tuned up as a reiner once again for Luke to learn and show.
These two have bonded, and make a great team together.
For only their second time showing together in both Ranch Pleasure and Trail classes, they placed third in both.
For their first time in a reining and open walk trot class, they were second (just a bit off pattern), and fourth.
Horses have always been therapy for us. I truly believe Smoke and Luke have been just that to each other.
