We exist in an industry where, much like in the "real world," there’s often a misconception that money is what defines you. That having a bigger budget, a fancier horse, or unlimited resources is the key to success. And while having disposable income can certainly help, it’s not the thing that truly matters.

Here’s what speaks louder than money:
- How you make people feel.
- How you treat your animals.
- If you’re truly enjoying what you do.
- The friendships you make along the way.
- Finally getting something right after weeks, months, or even years of struggling.

There will always be someone with more privilege than you—a nicer horse, a bigger trailer, more money, more time to ride. The list is endless. But the truth is, you can’t control those things. The only thing you can control is how YOU choose to view the world and how you exist in it.

Choose to be someone who uplifts others, inspires and motivates, and does it all for the love of the horse and the love of the sport. Prize money will get spent, ribbons will fade, and trophies will tarnish. At the end of the day, what we truly have are the memories we’ve made—moments frozen in time.

Make those moments good ones. Be the person others want to cheer for. And always, always thank your horse. They don’t know what money is. They don’t know if they won or lost. They only know that you’re there, giving them treats, scratches, and love when they get back to the stall.

In the end, that’s what really matters. 🖤

❤️ Little girls and horses…
It’s never just a childhood phase.
It’s the start of a foundation for life.

Horses don’t just teach riding.
They teach patience when nothing clicks.
Responsibility when stalls must be cleaned before play.
Grit when a stubborn pony refuses to cooperate.

They show that trust isn’t given...it’s earned.
Through consistency.
Through respect.
Through time.

Every little girl who swings a leg over a horse learns:
Falling doesn’t mean failing.
It means getting up, dusting off, and trying again.

Discipline isn’t punishment...it’s commitment.
Kindness isn’t weakness...it’s strength.
Confidence isn’t being loud....it’s showing up, even when you’re scared.

Horses shape little girls into women who don’t quit when life gets hard.
Women who know sweat and sacrifice come before reward.
Women who carry themselves with grace,
but aren’t afraid to dig in and fight when it matters.

It’s the 6 a.m. feedings.
The cold winter rides.
The tears after tough lessons,
and the laughter after small victories.

It’s brushing a horse in the quiet of the barn,
realizing responsibility never takes a day off.

So yes…
little girls may grow out of braids and pony bows.
But they never outgrow the lessons their horses taught them.

And maybe that’s the greatest gift of all.

🐎✨️Hello RHSC Friends! ✨️🐎
🎃 We are looking for a celebrity judge for our Annual Halloween Costume Horse Show on Friday, October 3rd from 7-9 p.m. in the covered arena at Wills Park Equestrian Center in Alpharetta, GA.
🎃 All money raised will go to a local charity(ies) voted on by the club membership. (RHSC donated the beautiful ribbons.)
🎃 The judge can be someone in radio or t.v., music, sports, an outstanding citizen, cosplay with a cool costume the kids would like, etc. In the past, we've had a war hero and military veteran, singer Ashley Brooks, DJ Angie Ward from 94.9 the Bull, Santa Claus, Lt. Hoffman with Alpharetta Police Department, and Nick Smith from N/S Performance Horses, for example. This is an unpaid position as all money goes to charity.
🎃 The judge doesn't need to know anything about horses; we're judging costumes and everyone gets a ribbon. We will also be in the ring to assist the judge. :)
🎃 Please send us a message on FB or e-mail to our correspondence secretary, Almira, at [email protected] if you are interested in judging or know someone who is.
🎃🎃 We are also looking for volunteers to help at the show. We will need an announcer, a ribbons person or persons, gate help, etc. Come join in the fun and earn your required work or meeting credits for year end qualification. Or just come and help because its for a great cause and we're a blast to hang out with. lol. 😁 We can't do this show without your help!!!
🎃 Two people can announce, (one to announce and one to act as the scribe and write things down), so please let us know if you and your friend would like the job.
🎃 We will be posting the show sheets soon so keep your eyes out. We will run the same classes as we have the past few years. 😊
Thank you!
