So I’ve been gone a minute. And I’ve missed y’all. The ponies and I hit the rodeo trail hard this year. 20 entries in total and it earned us my first finals jacket and back number (with my name on it!). Did it go according to plan? Hell no. But I’d have it no other way 🤠❤️.

Sandy is here with his two sons (9 & 11), from Slave Lake, AB. I chatted with the young men. Articulate, mature and they have been helping their dad manage meals for the truckers. They like team roping (yes!!!) and hunting. They said they’re not leaving until the mandates are out
