🌟 As the first Thistle Run show season comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this journey so special. To my incredible riders, judges, staff, & volunteers—your dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work were the driving forces behind our success. I truly couldn’t have done it without each of you.

A huge thank you to the Ingham County Fairgrounds for providing such a fantastic venue. Crest View Tack Shop, Crest View Cafe, the spacious indoor stabling, clean indoor bathrooms, showers & camping facilities were exceptional. A special shoutout to Steve Taylor for his commitment to perfecting the new rings for us—it made all the difference. 🎡

And of course, a big thank you to all the parents, partners, and spectators. Your support & encouragement mean the world to us & are integral to the joy and success of our horse shows. We couldn't enjoy this amazing sport without our wonderful farm families & supporters. 🤗

Here’s to many more seasons of success and camaraderie. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! 💕🐴

See yah in 2025,
Alex
