For the month of March, CDPhotog had his monthly photography competition.  This month we had to use a wide angle lens and capture some kind of action without zooming in but getting up close and personal with the action.  It was a little scary being 8 months pregnant and having Jessie spin super fast circles […]

AQHA Amateur Heading World Champion MJ Razor Wire was the AQHA Amateur Heading World Champion in 2018.  This was a title that Rodney had been working for, for many years.  It has been a lot of long nights, traveling, and riding on days where you don’t feel like saddling up. It has been good days […]

Jaidyn finished out the year strong! She has grown so much over the past year in her barrel racing and goals. She finished her High School Rodeo Year second place in the Jr. Division. This was a big deal for her because it was her first year running on Poo and she was running against […]
