I wish they had “show offs”. A show where everyone got to show off their horse and hard work in the ring. I know ribbons and buckles are awesome but my fave is seeing everyone excited to show off their horses and luv up their furry friends.

My trainer in college would do what we called "show and tell" rides when we had friends and family visit. Basically, we got to only do the stuff we excelled at, and ride our favorite horses. It always made my parents feel better about writing the checks, and I loved getting to skip things like no stirrup work

You and Annie looked so good! I am glad you had a wonderful time, that is all that matters. And as a side note, I love how supportive your husband is!

Thank you for taking us along to the show and the breeding season. As a more english rider its so interesting to get a snikpeek in your western life. Its so Nice to learn more from a so down to earth gal. Got so happy to see you enjoy the show, its so important to enjoy life tho life can be ruff in the breeding world. Crossing my fingers and toes for your lille baby in the hosptital❤

Love how down to earth you are Katie. And thank you for showing your life and being so informative ♥️

I love how humble you are Katie ❤

Girl get it together, you got this. No need to be embarrassed about anything. We love you!

I was thinking something similar. Just like how much hard work Katie has put in over these awesome years she has shared with us. This footage is gonna be hitting some of her peers in the feels. Like “hey! I was there when she was filming!” Or like “I remember this!” They are gonna be smitten and swooning just like us! If they are not already! ❤❤❤❤❤

Oh my goodness Annie is gorgeous. Love her moves

I hope the horses enjoy showing as much as you do so much love you have for animals 💜💜🌺

Wow!! Annie is such a beautiful horse! I was rooting for her the whole time!!! You're an amazing gal, Katie!!! Keep up the great work!!!

So close to 100k! Being around all these beautiful horses is an absolute dream 😍

Don’t be embarrassed you got this!🥰🐴

"Jess bought a ham because she knew I was going to screw the brisket up" best Dr. Matt quote ever! 😂

I am loving learning all about the American classes :) I am in Scotland and a wanna be dressage rider with a little Irish cob but I do fancy trying Le trec which I think is similar to the class you are doing today x

You are such a beautiful rider thank you for taking me along in your life I miss it so much so this has helped a bunch…

Not sure why watching you ride made me emotional and your love for Annie no matter how good she did 💞😭! Can’t wait to see you ride more Katie!

NICE shots of you up there! & watching Miss Annie thinking as well as working was a treat!

Way to go Annie and Katie!! I love all of your horses.

I show under number 217 too! Nothing like the vibes and environment at a horse show. It’s my favorite place to be ❤

Awe Annie is gorgeous! You looked really great in your trail class. Fingers crossed your mares take, definitely looking forward to seeing some babies next spring!

Katie, you and Annie both looked great! Thank you for sharing with us, and I'm really looking forward to seeing more videos of you showing. ❤️

Such beauty and grace❤

This is so relaxing to watch. As long as you enjoy yourself.

You and Annie looked fantastic in your show! I can't wait to see more of that. Fingers crossed for Erlene, hoping she's a Momma!

#replay That was so much fun to watch. And very cool your husband is so proud and happy for you. ❤

It was always my dream as a kid to raise horses to but as life is sometimes things changed but I love all of your horses their all just beautiful. You and your parents have done a great job. Y'all keep up the good work.

Loved the video. So glad you had fun. Thanks for sharing ❤

It was great that you were able to get back in the saddle and show and have a great time. I hope to again someday get back to riding and possibly show, but due to health reasons I don't know if my dream will ever become a reality. I enjoy watching your videos and doing the many things I would love to do. I have always wanted to try a trail class, it has always looked like so much fun. Thank you so much for what you do.

Favorite video so far!!! Thank you so so much for bringing us along on your horse show! I want to learn more about horse shows

Beautiful Annie looked so good out there❤

Great job in the trail class! I have shown in the Appaloosa Horse Club and Tennessee walker horse club since i was 9yrs old. I Love showing.

Just watched your show post... You have a beautiful seat

You looked great Katie 😊 Annie is beautiful

I love the puppy dog petting b roll!😘

You two look great together!!!

OMG that arena is sooo much fun. Will be there in July for the TWHBEA World Versatility Show.

Not me watching while cheering like "you can do it Annie, gogo!"

Amazing Katie 🥰

That was a great video! Thank you! 🙏❤️

So talented & knowledgeable! Love watching the videos!

Y’all looked beautiful showing, you 2 seemed to work in unison. ❤❤❤ and hope we have puppy’s(horses) next year I know the little sparky is adorable. lol tfs

I saw Rea Quarter Horses in the background! I’ve been trying to get ahold of Rusty 😂. I love watching you get ready to show!

Wow she is such a beautiful horse.

I grew up showing JZA horses on the west coast I miss showing so much 🥹🥹

I need more of these videos we don’t get enough horse show vlogs

Love ❤️ ❤❤❤ your videos all of them such a great job became my favorite overnight out of about around 100 others I watch

Go get you some. 😊👊🏽

Love you watch all your videos

Perfect timing lol

I love this video you should make more of these show vlogs

I know nothing about this but I'm watching and saying good girl Annie 😂😂❤❤

This is the miller!! I wish I could’ve seen you show!

My uncle is in Tennessee and he shows Tennessee walking horses. His name is Frank White. You may have heard of him. He’s won lots of world championships.

Would love to know where they get the 2 tone halters at.

In my prime I was throwing hay bales 8 high.

Have you been to the Georgia International Horsepark?

I may have missed it in the video but how did Annie place in the show? I loved watching you show her she seemed so calm.

I am so sad about Patrick passing away, I am so sorry. He was a spunky little guy.

U look like a natural

I miss the show ring.

Again, I am such a pretty horse! But in all seriousness, I think you did great! Also I have a question for Doctor Matt: Why did he become an equestrian vet?

(Correct me if im wrong but) Katie herself told us Gracie's conformation isnt good and that Gracie wouldnt have 'her own foal' meaning she'd always be a surrogate (to one of the other mares, by example Beyoncé)

Could someone tell me why the horses ride with there head hanging down so low ? Is that a Quarter Horse trait they do from being trained to watch cows or herds ? Forgive the guess if I’m completely wrong. I’d just really like to know ! Thanks !

It is the trend now and is exaggerated for show. “They” say it makes them look relaxed

So my question is, is why are all the horses putting their head down like that it looks very odd?? do you have to have a larger horse because you’re a bigger girl does that matter? I’m just curious.

Its western riding. Horses carry their head low because it's natural, comfortable, and looks relaxed while they work.

@arribaficationwineho32 No, they don't. Some people might and some people might incorrectly use some tools or methods but they do not abuse their horses to get the right head carriage.

Those poor horses in the background! Heads hanging, tired, depressed, whatever…. Is that a show situation?

@adinosinetriphosphate

Why does them holding their heads low mean they're depressed? That's pure anthropomorphizing and it is harmful to animals. They are fine. Horses in western riding often home their head low because it looks more relaxed and is comfortable for them. Maybe educate yourself before anthropomorphizing animals and spewing stupid things.

@arribaficationwineho32 Not you replying to two of my comments because you think you're right when you aren't. Did the horses tell you they're depressed? Did they tell you they hate what they do? They wouldn't do it if they didn't want to. You would absolutely know if a horse didn't want you on their back or didn't want to work that day. You can't force an animal that large and heavy to do something it doesn't want to do. These people's relationships with their horses are built on love and mutual respect for each other, ESPECIALLY Katie. Once again, stop anthropomorphizing animals, stop following and listening to whatever bullshit PETA and animal rights organizations tell you, it just shows how uneducated you are 🤷‍♀️ Go touch grass.

Wow, I know nothing about horse breeding and the fact that you order semen and the vet puts it in is wild to me. I guess it is safer/more controlled and easier than bringing the mare and stallion together.

You really don't need spurs , such a symbol of pain to the horse 😢😢 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢Not saying you use them, I'm just so against them and whips. Never in my 55 years of horsemanship have used either one ❤ ❤❤I just cluck and my horse would go into a lope .

..... omhy😴. Everything can be cruel as used in the wrong hands! Even the softest bittless bridels can cost a lot of damage and pain when people use them wrong😅And also with the whip the same rule.... you can beat the crap out of them or give them one good bob so they know yur not the one to get messed with😇.. But to decide for someone else? Thats RUDE! And second, did you ever go to a horse store and pick those spurs with the big wheels up? I dare you to feel them ride softly over the back of your hand the next time when you be there, and you will see that youre comment is a delulu one😵‍💫. Same with whips, the leader shall and will ALWAYS show their dominance towards the rest of the crew so that they will be the semisive followers. You cant be friends with an herd animal, otherwise god gave them the ability to speak😂. Herd animals need a leader and better be seen as that one! Our herd lives free range in the wildernes at the Beach and Dunes and in the wild.... So without a whip i will be the sqoochmello. Specialy when its breeding, foalin or weinig season! We drive the horses in a shute so that we can give them shots, look at them, preg check and take the stallion and the 1&2yo mares and the litle boys home. And also the oldest mares who dont get pregnant go with us to the farm, to get broke and go to auxion or they end in our freezer next to our hunting baby's 🍽🍴😅😂🍖🥩🥓. It depend on the case of having a good spirit animal with you.....

​@TammySaj-zm6kr You're not morally superior to anyone because you don't utilize the same training tools they do, and you aren't perfect because of it either. Not every horse or rider or horse and rider pair is the same. A halter and a lead rope could be harmful and abusive in the wrong hands. You also spelled your own horses breed incorrectly....
