Ira's awards in 2022.  He earned the very first belt buckle I've ever gotten, (a pewter 500 mile that is shown in the second photo).  We worked our butts off to get it!  He's an amazing horse, but can be a real handful at times.  He's great when he gets seriously down to work.  

I'm hoping to do a bit more with him this year, maybe some open shows or western dressage.    

The standings when we finished in October.  It was some really tough competition for a while between us and the second place entrant.  We kept leapfrogging back and forth and trying to overtake each other with mileage.  Ira and I ended up getting it!  Yay!
