Let's go to a horseshow!

[@twillaboyce110]

I wish they had “show offs”. A show where everyone got to show off their horse and hard work in the ring. I know ribbons and buckles are awesome but my fave is seeing everyone excited to show off their horses and luv up their furry friends.

[@beautywearsboots6458]

My trainer in college would do what we called "show and tell" rides when we had friends and family visit. Basically, we got to only do the stuff we excelled at, and ride our favorite horses. It always made my parents feel better about writing the checks, and I loved getting to skip things like no stirrup work

[@MystikalBB]

You and Annie looked so good! I am glad you had a wonderful time, that is all that matters. And as a side note, I love how supportive your husband is!

[@idajoh09]

Thank you for taking us along to the show and the breeding season. As a more english rider its so interesting to get a snikpeek in your western life. Its so Nice to learn more from a so down to earth gal. Got so happy to see you enjoy the show, its so important to enjoy life tho life can be ruff in the breeding world. Crossing my fingers and toes for your lille baby in the hosptital❤

[@NahNah_3403]

Love how down to earth you are Katie. And thank you for showing your life and being so informative ♥️

[@jessicamayhew4359]

Girl get it together, you got this. No need to be embarrassed about anything. We love you!

[@SeranaDovah]

I was thinking something similar. Just like how much hard work Katie has put in over these awesome years she has shared with us. This footage is gonna be hitting some of her peers in the feels. Like “hey! I was there when she was filming!” Or like “I remember this!” They are gonna be smitten and swooning just like us! If they are not already! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rhonda423]

I hope the horses enjoy showing as much as you do so much love you have for animals 💜💜🌺

[@taramay782]

Wow!! Annie is such a beautiful horse! I was rooting for her the whole time!!! You're an amazing gal, Katie!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@theresalayton8273]

Don’t be embarrassed you got this!🥰🐴

[@kristiefogel7122]

Oh my goodness Annie is gorgeous. Love her moves

[@eflarsen]

Annie is such a beautiful horse! thanks for bringing us along in the journey, and i'm glad you're able to get back into the show ring like you wanted.

[@kirstybrown8391]

I am loving learning all about the American classes :) I am in Scotland and a wanna be dressage rider with a little Irish cob but I do fancy trying Le trec which I think is similar to the class you are doing today x

[@Zenaluv9]

Out of curiosity why are you not showing Jordy? Thanks for sharing your days on the farm I’m living vicariously through you while I get my health back in order 💜

[@katievanslykelife]

He recently had colic surgery:/

[@Midnight_wolfy]

@@katievanslykelife aw. Well is Jordan’s ok now then?

[@luannmansfield3248]

#replay That was so much fun to watch. And very cool your husband is so proud and happy for you. ❤

[@Mrsred2u68]

So my question is, is why are all the horses putting their head down like that it looks very odd?? do you have to have a larger horse because you’re a bigger girl does that matter? I’m just curious.

[@adinosinetriphosphate]

Its western riding. Horses carry their head low because it's natural, comfortable, and looks relaxed while they work.

[@arribaficationwineho32]

It is trendy now and has been exaggerated for show ring. They do awful things to them to achieve that look.

[@adinosinetriphosphate]

@arribaficationwineho32 No, they don't. Some people might and some people might incorrectly use some tools or methods but they do not abuse their horses to get the right head carriage. Stop spreading misinformation when you clearly only know whatever "animal rights" organizations doctor up to show you.

[@bowkatiewow]

So close to 100k! Being around all these beautiful horses is an absolute dream 😍

[@2kemason]

So funny, you're so good❣️❣️❣️ Just relax❣️💖

[@2kemason]

Annie scares your donkey??? 🤣🤣🤣

[@anastasiadenton]

NICE shots of you up there! & watching Miss Annie thinking as well as working was a treat!

[@carolbarnett5850]

Loved the video. So glad you had fun. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@SandraSouper]

I love how humble you are Katie ❤

[@lindabillings6428]

Love to watch you...but seeing these horses with their head hanging down, reminds me of rescue animals that have been abused...don't like it. I would much rather watch the horse with their head held up proudly.😢

[@afterthestorm221]

"Jess bought a ham because she knew I was going to screw the brisket up" best Dr. Matt quote ever! 😂

[@angelaedmonston1211]

Way to go Annie and Katie!! I love all of your horses.

[@stacieraffety3580]

OMG that arena is sooo much fun. Will be there in July for the TWHBEA World Versatility Show.

[@karenthomas2302]

Y’all looked beautiful showing, you 2 seemed to work in unison. ❤❤❤ and hope we have puppy’s(horses) next year I know the little sparky is adorable. lol tfs

[@missymccurry-ml1di]

You are such a beautiful rider thank you for taking me along in your life I miss it so much so this has helped a bunch…

[@shannonwolfehampton3499]

Just watched your show post... You have a beautiful seat

[@dumbdizzyblond318]

I grew up showing JZA horses on the west coast I miss showing so much 🥹🥹

[@RainbowRescue1996]

Katie, you and Annie both looked great! Thank you for sharing with us, and I'm really looking forward to seeing more videos of you showing. ❤️

[@MiracleBaby1987]

Annie is beautiful gorgeous mare ever seen before,Ms. Katie!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎

[@ourlifeonthefarm1971]

It was great that you were able to get back in the saddle and show and have a great time. I hope to again someday get back to riding and possibly show, but due to health reasons I don't know if my dream will ever become a reality. I enjoy watching your videos and doing the many things I would love to do. I have always wanted to try a trail class, it has always looked like so much fun. Thank you so much for what you do.

[@MiracleBaby1987]

Really, like your new merch loads, Katie , but, unfortunately, we cannot afford any of your merch. Sorry Katie Van Slyke 😢☹️☹️☹️

[@kathycoxlewis436]

Not sure why watching you ride made me emotional and your love for Annie no matter how good she did 💞😭! Can’t wait to see you ride more Katie!

[@jennasapp1283]

You and Annie looked fantastic in your show! I can't wait to see more of that. Fingers crossed for Erlene, hoping she's a Momma!

[@MiracleBaby1987]

Jonathan is your king and Katie your his queen!! Your guys love is real and genuine too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Lextacy06]

Awe Annie is gorgeous! You looked really great in your trail class. Fingers crossed your mares take, definitely looking forward to seeing some babies next spring!

[@MiracleBaby1987]

Can you say Cowgirl in the making folks! Your outfit is sparkly Katie, especially your special vest.❤❤❤❤❤

[@MiracleBaby1987]

No stress, for you Ms. Katie. Just wanna have a good horse show. Be relaxed and be chilling.

[@MiracleBaby1987]

Your husband Jonathan he is so good to you, treats you like his queen and his princess. Its your world and Jonathan just lives in it, lol.

[@MiracleBaby1987]

Hope you got all your points to win,Ms. Katie!!🏆🏅🎖🏆🏆

[@kathymazey1299]

This is so relaxing to watch. As long as you enjoy yourself.

[@amandalhartle]

Katie have you ever sang the national anthem at a horse show?

[@shaniyahbaker6561]

I need more of these videos we don’t get enough horse show vlogs

[@faithbragg31]

You looked great Katie 😊 Annie is beautiful

[@Sharon-p8o]

Would love to know where they get the 2 tone halters at.

[@MiracleBaby1987]

Awww, very sweet goaties,Katie!!

[@lorettarussell2449]

Why does she hold her head down,the horse

This Is Not A negative comment~~~ you should model different types of hats... What about, Charle One- Horse, Hats?

[@theresaogershok8256]

You mentioned that you had shown at large shows. Have you ever been to the Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio?

[@katievanslykelife]

Yes I showed and placed there every year for about 10 years

[@theresaogershok8256]

@@katievanslykelife I love horses but never been to the Congress even though I live just outside Columbus. I like how you describe the way the competition is judged.

[@candbwilturner6550]

My uncle is in Tennessee and he shows Tennessee walking horses. His name is Frank White. You may have heard of him. He’s won lots of world championships.

[@sm31156]

Do you like Rodeo's? I love a good Rodeo. The cowboys that get on those unbroken horses are brave in i crazy kind of way. In my next life im marrying a Cowboy from Tennessee or Texas. I think I would love that cuz I love critters. Esp horses.

[@SeranaDovah]

In the last video you said if you ever went to stud you would put it in a syringe. I can’t wait until you get there! I am so excited and happy and hopeful so see your “code red” or your “good ride” like “Now introducing Katie Van Slyke’s World Champion Stallion ____ ____” oh man I am so excited!

[@carolguest9400]

I really enjoy your videos!! Horses are magnificent! Love Poppy and putuna, they are sooo cute!l Makes makes me laugh!!! You and the goats makes me smile. Thank you for sharing ❤️ 😊 ❤😊

[@Annie_AreYouOkay]

Again, I am such a pretty horse! But in all seriousness, I think you did great! Also I have a question for Doctor Matt: Why did he become an equestrian vet?

[@b.feyereisen]

Go get you some. 😊👊🏽

[@mariaarcher5280]

Love ❤️ ❤❤❤ your videos all of them such a great job became my favorite overnight out of about around 100 others I watch

[@kirstybrown8391]

Amazing Katie 🥰

[@annehorstman6071]

Great job in the trail class! I have shown in the Appaloosa Horse Club and Tennessee walker horse club since i was 9yrs old. I Love showing.

[@thatdamncanadian2968]

Perfect timing lol

[@amandafrost9383]

I saw Rea Quarter Horses in the background! I’ve been trying to get ahold of Rusty 😂. I love watching you get ready to show!

[@lauraebel2769]

I show under number 217 too! Nothing like the vibes and environment at a horse show. It’s my favorite place to be ❤

[@danaemcburney4160]

Wow, I know nothing about horse breeding and the fact that you order semen and the vet puts it in is wild to me. I guess it is safer/more controlled and easier than bringing the mare and stallion together.

[@vickyharp9885]

It was always my dream as a kid to raise horses to but as life is sometimes things changed but I love all of your horses their all just beautiful. You and your parents have done a great job. Y'all keep up the good work.

[@heatherscarfo5920]

Can we have a jordy update? Can u explain ur traning process with u and ur horses? How you pick a good trainer?

[@mieshasouthward7118]

I know nothing about this but I'm watching and saying good girl Annie 😂😂❤❤

The logo on your green sweatshirt is kind of placed in a weird optical illusion spot 😅

[@emilylipsitz]

I'm sorry for the loss of Patrick.

[@svetlanaopatskyi8682]

Wow she is such a beautiful horse.

[@arribaficationwineho32]

Those poor horses in the background! Heads hanging, tired, depressed, whatever…. Is that a show situation?

[@adinosinetriphosphate]

Why does them holding their heads low mean they're depressed? That's pure anthropomorphizing and it is harmful to animals. They are fine. Horses in western riding often home their head low because it looks more relaxed and is comfortable for them. Maybe educate yourself before anthropomorphizing animals and spewing stupid things.

[@arribaficationwineho32]

That is a studied style and trainers abuse the horses for that look.

[@adinosinetriphosphate]

@arribaficationwineho32 Not you replying to two of my comments because you think you're right when you aren't. Did the horses tell you they're depressed? Did they tell you they hate what they do? They wouldn't do it if they didn't want to. You would absolutely know if a horse didn't want you on their back or didn't want to work that day. You can't force an animal that large and heavy to do something it doesn't want to do. These people's relationships with their horses are built on love and mutual respect for each other, ESPECIALLY Katie. Once again, stop anthropomorphizing animals, stop following and listening to whatever bullshit PETA and animal rights organizations tell you, it just shows how uneducated you are 🤷‍♀️ Go touch grass.

[@tiffanythompson6178]

Annie is such a good girl!

[@lauramcdougal3952]

Will you be Breeding Gracie? She's a sweet Mare.

[@Carol_StarMoon]

(Correct me if im wrong but) Katie herself told us Gracie's conformation isnt good and that Gracie wouldnt have 'her own foal' meaning she'd always be a surrogate (to one of the other mares, by example Beyoncé)

[@roseturner3726]

You two look great together!!!
