Hey everyone !
It is my favorite time of year ! I love Thanksgiving , Christmas , and all the festive events that come with the holidays . I think my horses like it too , as they get to rest after the show season .
I am a music teacher , and the school year is in full swing ! My students are looking forward to playing and singing Christmas carols at local nursing homes and other places this time of year . Along with that , this is also a busy time of year for me as a musician . Playing music at church events , symphony concerts , and other holiday events keeps me busy . Outside of the classroom , I have been enjoying trail riding , spending time with family , attending holiday light displays and of course , baking ! It is that time of year after all . I ’ m looking forward to getting some snow this year and bringing out the snowmobile to enjoy some winter riding .
As the show season began to slow down this fall , my duties as a representative of WSCA had just started to pick up . I have had a great time attending events with the royal court ! We ’ ve been bell ringing for Salvation Army , attending awards banquets , parades , and planning more for 2025 ! November was very busy for us , and we are looking forward to December . This month , you can catch us at the Horse Crazy Market in St . Paul and a few other banquets as well . It will be a grand finish to 2024 and wonderful start to 2025 . I have even started to put some shows on the calendar for the 2025 season . My horse Drifter and I look forward to seeing you in the show pen !
God Bless !
