Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, it was so great to meet you all and have your support! A huge thank you to Saddle Up founder Nancy for helping us with the trade show and introducing us to clients and contributors. We had so many great moments, one of the many highlights was meeting all the clubs and associations. We were so thrilled to meet the Spirit Riders 4H club Yukon and even more thrilled when the club came back to our booth for a group photo. It makes us so happy to see young riders and to support these local clubs and associations! And too it was nice seeing friends again🦄 we look forward to a future colab.

At a time of uncertainty if Saddle Up will continue on with a new owner... a reader emailed me this comment... THANK YOU... much appreciated...
"Just want to say thank you for your magazine. Great job again as always. I really enjoy the informative articles and the current events. It is nice to know what the Horsey people are all doing in their disciplines. The top dog articles are also informative and highlight the connections of man’s best friend. I especially enjoyed reading about your interview with Ashleigh with respect to her “Farming for Love“ experience. Your calendar of events is something I look forward to and I check out every month. Keep up the good work Nancy. You are keeping the community connected and recognizing the people who love and care for their equine partners. I love your magazine." - KM
