Good morning! Your SCQHA Palmetto Classic Photos are ready! So sorry for the delay-internet has been dismally slow, I suppose thanks to the weather.

I'm heading home to work on orders as soon as Chief has his walk, so be checking your email today! If you showed over fences on Saturday and ordered before looking through your derby images just shoot me an email if you'd like to swap one out.

Thank you all again for coming out and showing with us. It's always great to see each of you.

Link will be in the comments below!

I know many of you are, like myself, trying to make it home from Camden in the rain-so I’ll keep it brief!

If you were there you know we had some lengthy days this weekend. I’ve only had the chance to sort a portion of Saturday because as it turns out, getting older means you have to try to limit the number of days in a row you live on 4 hours of sleep if you want to survive 😂

Anyway, feel free to take a look but know that not everything is uploaded yet. I should have things fully ready for you tomorrow, and will drop a note when it is.

Thank you so much for joining us at the SCQHA Palmetto Classic!

It’s almost time to hit the road for the SCQHA Palmetto Classic! Looking forward to a fun show with some pretty neat class offerings and the opportunity for y’all to win some cash.

A few notes:

📸 Sponsored Candids-If you want to invest in what is (in my opinion) one of the most highly visible sponsorship options AND make the exhibitors love you, my candid sponsorship option is still available. Your logo on every image in the candid gallery, FREE for exhibitors to download and share-plus they’ll be included in my online Equine Chronicle submission! Contact me ASAP if you’re interested.

✨Coverage notes: It’s just me this weekend due to my qualified folks being out of town for the holiday-and it doesn’t fit my business model to throw in a filler just to have a body. During the time there is overlap in the schedule I’ll be prioritizing class blocks that historically have the greatest demand, alongside those such as the over-fence classes that we don’t see on the showbill at every show.

Cow horse exhibitors-if you have a class you’re extra invested in having photographed, Saturday is the day. Please text me at (803) 917-5588 when they’re about two goes out from yours so I can get there.

📝 If anyone needs ad/sale photos done, I can make myself available for that on Friday, but I do need to know ahead of time. Please get in touch by about lunchtime tomorrow if you’ll need me.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Safe travels!

Late post, but the internet was not in cooperation mode under the covered today…so I had to upload the remainder of today’s images when I got home. At any rate, they’re all there for your viewing pleasure!

There were plenty of moms in action at Carolinas CHA this weekend, but the Raffield kids really thought outside of the box for their Mother’s Day gift. I’ve seen Carla be there to support her children at a number of cuttings, but this weekend the kids put their money together to pay their mom’s entry fee. If I’m not mistaken it was Carla’s first time showing, and she really did a great job.

Thank you for a fun weekend, y’all. Looking forward to seeing you back in Camden in just a few weeks.

Also, thank you to my own mom for not being upset that I had to work today. She’s played a part in me being here to do this work in a lot of different ways! 🫶

So proud of our youth class today at Carolinas CHA! Every one of them showed us some great riding 🖤

I hope everyone had a fabulous first day at Carolinas CHA!

As much as I like to lead with something inspirational, I just don’t have it in me tonight 😂 I think many of us faced some sort of speed bump today, but the good news is we still had fun-right?!

All of today’s photos are loaded in the gallery, and I’ll leave that link below.

For the remainder of the weekend: if you are wanting a reel, please let me know ASAP. It does take a little extra organization to keep things in line for those, so it would be awesome if you can check in at least a class or two ahead. I’ll leave a request form link in the comments, but you can also let me know at my spot next to the judge’s stand.

Goodnight everyone. See you tomorrow!

All packed and ready to head to Camden tomorrow to get set up for Carolinas CHA this weekend! It feels like it’s been a super long time, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.

The whole car getting totaled debacle put my reel producing to a halt at our last show, but we’re ready to roll this time around-including some help from my team to make sure we get them back to you ASAP. Y’all know the drill. If at all possible please try to fill out the form for me before the start of the show day so I know who I’m looking for (link will be below). Per usual, no need to pay until we get things delivered just in case your ride doesn’t go as planned.

Will drop the link for your show gallery here tomorrow as well. Things should be up fairly quickly as long as the internet cooperates.

Safe travels, and see you soon!

A throwback from a morning at Keeneland a couple years ago in honor of Derby Day. I wasn’t able to visit Churchill Downs on that trip, but this particular morning remains a core memory just the same.

I got my love of horse racing early and honest, courtesy of my grandpa Timothy O’Connor. A serious handicapper and also an owner at one time, he helped create some of my favorite childhood memories visiting the track. It’s so interesting as an adult to look back on the various members of both sides of my family who helped shape the importance of horses in my life 🖤

Sending extra good luck today to Ocelli, who has SC connections via the Durr family. Win or lose, I hope you enjoy your day, Ashley, Travis, Cody and everyone else involved. Savor the memories!

Who’s your pick today? Let us know below!
