The experience of competing at the most pretigious event in the country was priceless and I have so many people that personally helped me get there. I have a very special thank you to each and everyone of them.
My debut at ROLEX Kentucky CCI **** will always be special as my first four-star.....but make no mistake about it, IT WON'T BE MY LAST!

My husband Dave, daughter Kaylawna, son Tyler and dad Ron, sacrifice so much for me to live my dream of competing as an International rider, and without their support this would not be possible. I am a very lucky girl!

Dr. Emily Sandler, Jeremy Burgess, Margie Molloy, David Kuhlman, Rose Corona, Chris Phillips, Mary Pat Weber, Barry Weatherbee, Niki Zamora, Susie Hutchison, Pam Rose, Cary and Jessica Burch, Janis Linnan, Mike Huber, John Camlin, Rick and Melinda Overlay, Steve Thompson, Sage Clarke, Dr. Mike Hoge, Connie Bowman and the list is not finished........have personally and financially helped to fund my trip to ROLEX. I could not have done this without all of you. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Michelle Hughes, you are irreplacable! You really are amazing and I can't thank you enough for putting up with me and taking such amazing care of my horses! You really are special to me, Buzzie and NLE!

Jordan Linstedt, Scott Kuhlman, Stacia Arnold, Tamara Ryan, Kaylawna Smith, Jim Peratt, and Mallory Thompson were instrumental in taking care of NLE while I was at ROLEX. Thank you all for stepping up to the plate and making sure things ran smoothly while I was away.

THANK YOU to all of my Sponsors: ANTARES SADDLERY - PLASTIC SOURCE - BIG HORSE FEED - ADEPTUS - KERRITS - 3 DAY RANCH - PACIFIC COAST EQUINE SERVICES - FLEECEWORKS - BLUE RIBBON BLANKETS - HERITAGE GLOVES, for your continuous support.

All of my friends and family that have believed in me and still believe in me and my dream - you all have inspired me to be the best I can be both as a person and as a rider. THANK YOU!

Jessica Burch - thank you for giving me a horse of a lifetime! I only hope you have as much fun and joy as I have!

And lastly "The Buzzard" you are a very special horse that I will always cherish in my heart and sole. Your the most kind, misunderstood horse I have ever known and I am very privledged to have had the opportunity to ride you this past two years. You have taught me so much and I am very lucky that you came into my life. You are not yet ready to retire, as you have a few other people to teach a thing or two, but you will live out your days in our grass pasture on our property when you are ready and you will never have to worry about who you might have to deal with next. You deserve only the best! XOXO

THANK YOU AGAIN to everyone who helped this dream become a reality........I have worked very hard, with very little money and I accomplished an amazing goal that really proves if you work hard enough and beleive, you can accomplish anything. I can't wait for whats next................ 

Love, Tamie
