Our crew is incredible and they deserve some spotlight! The Better Barrel Races - BBR Midwest Xtravaganza finished up around 3pm Sunday, our guys started leveling and cleaning stalls. By 5pm Monday, all stalls are cleaned and disinfected, all three arenas are all leveled and sand hauled in, all manure is hauled out, and the cattle pens are ready! We don’t have a huge crew but we have a mighty crew! 💪

Tomorrow is move-in day for New York Reined Cow Horse Association! 🤠

THANK YOU to each and every person who makes this facility what it is!
