💐 Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Today we celebrate the Pony Club moms who do so much more than just “horse show mom” duties. 💙🐴

The moms who wake up before sunrise…
Who haul horses, braid manes, clean tack, pack lunches, hold ponies, sew saddle pads, and somehow still remember where everyone’s gloves went.

The moms behind the cameras who stand in the rain during lessons…
Who cheer from outside the arena…
Who encourage perseverance after tough rides and celebrate quiet victories no one else sees.

And especially the moms who chose horses for their children - not because it’s easy… but because they understood the value of hard work, responsibility, sweat equity, compassion, and learning to care for something greater than themselves.

Horse kids learn early that success isn’t handed to you.
Stalls still need cleaning.
Horses still need feeding.
Tack still needs scrubbing.
And living, breathing animals teach lessons that cannot be learned from a screen.

The moms who help raise not only riders - but kind, capable, hardworking humans -
deserve to be celebrated too!

Pony Club is about more than riding, and so much of that begins with the families supporting it behind the scenes.

Thank you for the miles driven, the sacrifices made, the lessons taught, and the unconditional love that helps our members grow both in and out of the saddle.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible Pony Club moms, grandmas, mentors, and barn moms who help keep this community strong. 💙

Dental Day Today 😁
Beyond great full for After the Finish Line's dental grant for our Off Track Thoroughbreds.

Pictured below is Savel a California bred and raced TB. Some really sharp points taken down and a correction to the ramp in her molars will hopefully make her a much happier horse and help her put on some weight.
