A huge congratulations to Emma DeJong & Simply Sophisticated!

✨ NSBA Reserve World Champion — Novice Amateur Ranch Riding ✨

We are so proud of this talented 3-year-old mare! Emma purchased Simply Sophisticated from Jerry & Laura Bracken last summer. Emma has put in all the work herself, developing this young mare and taking her all the way to an NSBA World Reserve Championship!

A special thank-you to Clayton and Carley Jerrell for their assistance and support along the way!

And they’re not done yet — two more classes to go today! We’ll be cheering them on! 🏆🤍🐴

Congratulations, Emma & Simply Sophisticated!

💙🐴 Fair week is finally here!

To every 4-H horse exhibitor moving into the Johnson County Fair today…

Remember, your horse doesn’t care about the ribbons—they only know the love, trust, and time you’ve invested in them.

Those early mornings, late nights, dusty boots, and long practice rides have all been worth it.

From everyone at The Stables of Bay Horse Inn, we wish you confidence in the arena, grace through every class, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Good luck to all of our amazing horse families this week—we’re proud of each of you!
