Lambs & goats need a good stretch too!!

I’m incredibly thankful to have amazing clients who allow me to film parts of the session. Filming the session helps me get footage to make informational videos for social media. My goal is to inform owners on keeping their animals in shape for show season.

Good luck to all the competitors this weekend!

Introducing Alison & Jay!

There is something so special about watching a lifelong horsewoman dive back into her passion at full speed.

“I’ve been riding since I was 2 years old, starting on Welsh ponies and traveling the country with my aunt. Over the years, I competed in 4H, open, and breed shows, and spent several years riding trails across Michigan doing Competitive Mounted Orienteering (CMO) serving as both Michigan and National President.
As life shifted and my kids grew into their own busy sports schedules, my time was limited but I continued trail riding. Now that they’ve graduated, I’m back doing what I love with 6 of my own horses across multiple disciplines. I even bred my mare and now have a promising 2-year-old, Jay, I am excited to develop into a future show horse.
My passion goes beyond riding—I love helping others grow in confidence through horses and sharing the knowledge I’ve gained along the way. There’s nothing quite like the impact a horse can have on a person.
Grateful for the opportunity to represent and partner with such an amazing business—excited for what’s ahead!”

Introducing Alaina, Jeanie, & Maisie!

Alaina is our sole livestock representative, and her dedication to the health and longevity of her animals is second to none. This year is particularly special as she enters her final season.

“My name is Alaina Russell, I have shown cattle for 5 years and have been doing jackpots for 3. This coming show season will be my final season showing cattle before I age out. Last year I showed a commercial breeding heifer named Jeanie who quickly became the best calf I ever bought. The bond we have was unlike any other calf I have ever shown. On December 31st, Jeanie gave birth to a beautiful chi-composite heifer calf whom we named Maisie. Maisie will be my final show calf before I age out. At only 3 months old she is already looking amazing and has a mind like no other. I am SO excited to see what the 2026-2027 show season does for us!”

Introducing Rosalin, Jacs, & Breezy!

Consistency is key in this sport, and that goes for both the riding and the recovery! That’s why I’m so proud to announce that Rosalin is returning as a sponsored rider for the 2026 season.

“My name is Rosalin Nelson, and I have been riding horses for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the saddle has shaped my passion for barrel racing, along with my work ethic, determination, and commitment to the sport.
As a youth barrel racer, I have earned multiple checks and overall wins within my age group, reflecting my dedication to improving and competing at a high level. I currently compete with my horses, Jacs and Breezy, who each bring unique strengths and personalities to my program. Working with them has strengthened my skills in communication, patience, and adaptability as a rider.
Keeping my horses feeling their best is a top priority for me. Through my experience with Gambit Equine Bodywork, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my horse’s comfort and performance, especially since he tends to get sore in his back and hind legs. Faith's work has helped him stay more comfortable, recover better, and perform more consistently.
My goals are to continue advancing in barrel racing, lowering my times, and competing at higher levels while representing the sport in a positive and professional way. I am passionate about partnering with brands that support both horse and rider, and I take pride in representing sponsors with authenticity, consistency, and hard work both in and out of the arena.”

Introducing Ava & Reagan!

It is such a joy to support riders who are just beginning their journey, and this team truly embodies the heart of what we love to see in the arena.

“Ava is 7 years old, she started riding when she was 5. She got Reagan in the spring of 2024. Reagan is a 23 year old American QH. Shes a been there done that horse. Reagan has brought Ava so much confidence in her riding. They make the perfect little team.
Ava started taking lessons on Reagan by Miss. Lorraine (we love her) in the winter of 2024, she has taught Ava so much.

This year she will be showing at Red Flannel in the casual pleasure classes, the Muskegon County fair and a few speed shows at Berlin.

Stay tuned to watch this adorable team grow🐴❤️”
