The biggest thank you I owe to anyone this year is the paint pony who kept on giving. He gave everything he had every single time he stepped in the arena, he knew his job, every time the gate swung open he was ready. He was a fan favorite this year, always letting people pet him through the fence; sometimes licking them back. Even resting his head in the lap of wheelchair users. Walking down the side of a highway with moving vehicles- no problem, parades with thousands of people- no problem. I owe my career to this horse, thank you Docs Mack Daddy, aka Nomenclature, for giving me everything every time I asked. I’ve been blessed with the horse of a lifetime. ———- my favorite photo of our year❤️ one that will be cherished for years to come. Photo credit-
