“Bring me all your finest trophies and awards!!” (Photos courtesy Kristy Moss)

Abbie Moss is riding high.

The Coupeville Middle School 6th grader (and her best boy Blu) continue to bring home awards swag from horse shows as they blaze a trail of success.

With 2023 in the books and 2024 getting up and started, the duo received their booty for the year just passed.

Hanging out with her boy Blu.

Moss earned a first-place belt buckle from the Northwest Reining Association for her performance in the 13 and Under classification.

She also nabbed NWRA spur straps for a second-place finish in Beginner B 18 and Under, as well as a hand painted hat can for a second-place performance in Ranch Rail Youth.

The hat can was painted by Sally Saur of Saur Training Stable.

As Abbie shared her success with Blu, mom Kristy was bursting with pride at her daughter following in her successful footsteps.

“I’m so flipping proud of her!!”

Abbie, who is coming for all the trophies in ’24, has been working with Andrea Rossmeier of Rossmeier Performance Horses.

A buckle fit for a champion.

They’re movin’ on and movin’ up.

Coupeville Elementary School Principal David Ebersole sent 85(!!) fifth graders on to their next destination Wednesday afternoon.

The Class of 2030 made the transition in their new home, during a ceremony in the high school’s PAC.

With the festivities complete, the young Wolves exited as sixth graders, set to start a three-year run as middle school students.

In the class are race car champs (Finley Helm), horse show champs (Abbie Moss) and the granddaughter (Hayli Marley) of my first-ever Videoville customer back in the day, Kathy Marley.

Which one will do something remarkable in the athletic world and make me consider, for a hot moment or two, of referring to them as “The Chosen One,” before common sense (and Willie Smith) makes me think twice?

Only time will tell.

Let the awards rain down.

Coupeville 5th grader Abbie Moss and her horse Blu have been to two reigning and ranch riding horse shows and brought home six ribbons each time.

The second time out, the soon-to-be middle schooler and her equine pal claimed two 1sts, three 2nds, and a 3rd place finish this past weekend.

Ready for the spotlight.

The event, run by the Northwest Reining Association, was held at the Northwest Washington Fair and Event Center in Lynden.

Abbie has been doing reining classes and ranch rail and loving both,” said mom Kristy Moss.

“She is getting better and learning more every single show. Her commitment to improve is so admirable.”

“We’re going to win all the ribbons. Yes, we are.”

A mom and a daughter, enjoying the equestrian life.

Talk about making a great first impression.

Coupeville 5th grader Abbie Moss burst onto the scene this weekend, working with her horse Blu to bring home six ribbons from her first reining and ranch riding show.

Competing in Lynden with the Northwest Reining Association, the 11-year-old proved to be a natural, taking four 1st place ribbons, as well as two 2nd place awards for reining and ranch rail.

“I win, son, I win.”

Moss has been riding casually for several years, and recently made the transition to competitive events.

Blu, a 12-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding out of Chocolate Chic Olena and Nu Cash Lass, joined the family last October.

Since then, he and his new favorite girl have been inseparable.

“When Abbie isn’t practicing or showing, she rides him around the farm and on trails every chance she gets,” said mom Kristy.

Riding into a bright future.
