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.”

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.
