@nchacutting ‼️ So unbelievable! Rookie! I really just loved coming to shows to support my man, step dad, friends and community; I felt lucky with just that alone! I started showing quickly after I started practicing, and then 6 months into the show year we found out I was in the running for Rookie of the Year, so @ab_performancehorses and I decided to send it for the last 6 months and see if we could do it! I was sitting 2nd until the last show, where I took home my Reserve Champion spot at the Futurity, and we were able to secure my rookie spot, to my fierce competitor Kevin Smith!! (We had the most fun!)😁 Tens of shows, $84,748.87 in final earnings! Lots of losses, lots of good days, lots of great days, little sleep, and lots of fun. The most humbling sport in the world, guys, let me tell you! I’m very competitive, but Adan has taught me many things, but a big one was to still have gratitude for the losses as they make the wins that much better! And I get to remember throughout it all, we are still blessed regardless of winning or losing, because we get to do it with the greatest animal in our hearts! I am blessed just getting to ride and be around horses everyday again! And to get to do it with people I love. I am so grateful for my incredible horses, God, the @ab_performancehorses team, Ascension, @jl.performancehorses, @coltmooreperformancehorses_ , @nchacutting, the amazing cowboys and cowgirls that have become family and helped me so much along the way, and most of all the Banuelos family for making me feel so loved, protected, and encouraged. I feel so blessed to have you all in my life. To watch you all work, ride, compete, honor and care for each other is something that will inspire me from now and for the rest of my life! Forever counting my blessings. Thank you for everything family, I love you @jl.performancehorses @cooper__clark @tiffanibanuelos @owen_yarbrough @coltmooreperformancehorses_ @jenceejarvismoore @i_salas123 @tanguy.saulnier @vonnie_wells @jess_fina @ericalennox1 @sfeiner777 @elizbrumbaugh @quirktodd @ali.banuelos @cookie_banuelos @katiebanuelos @joeborjon @logan.mays @clayjohnsoncuttinghorses @seanflynncuttinghorses
