Winning the Tryon $15,000 National Derby!! 

All rounds on both horses were absolutely gorgeous!! Congratulations!! I think it is a good thing you loaded up on those special horse treats!

Okay, we fly home from Montana to Ohio tomorrow. Our flight leaves at 5:50am. Who the heck comes up with such a time?? Seriously crazy!Tonight we are having homemade pizza, thank to our oldest son’s fiancé. Our last night with both boys for a year. That’s why I am sharing TMI. My tears are starting already, and my mom heart hurts. Watching you ride and win will definitely help chase the hurt away for a while!🤩🤩

OMG YOU LOOK SOOO GOOD AND CONGRATS!!! It must be the best feeling knowing that you won❤❤❤🎉🎉

I always was confused with derby’s do you actually win all that money?

Ahhhh, I was born in Spartanburg!!!

How do you keep your lower leg so still when jumping? Congrats on the derby win!

Great job

Tryon is my absolute favorite venue to show at!!

As soon as you showed us Apple in his stall, all that went thru my mind was ‘thank goodness for Jose!’ Hope I got his name right.

Do you just turn up and ride the horses or do you have anything to do with their looking after and exercise

Do you plan on doing any international derby’s?

Chino had great round

So you won 15k?

OMG

8:15 “Thank you Jose” was so sweet 🥺😭🫶 You did a great job, you absolutely deserved this win!
