The pictures and film brought tears to my eyes. Mrs. Reeves reminds me of my 80 year old aunt who still rides today and goes with me every chance she gets. Thank you for the capturing the young and the old.

AMAZING!!!! Truly moved me to watch the video…I belong to a group of best girlfriends who call ourselves The Hooligans. We ride, camp, party and share our lives. We are all 40 - 60 years YOUNG and LOVE to see examples of what women can accomplish together when they love what they do! I’m so thankful [...]

I have to tell you how wonderful I thought this presentation was, and inspiring. I am a 60 year old who still loves riding, in spite of the advice that I get that “I might be too old” for it. I guess as long as I can swing a leg over the back of my horse I [...]

These photos and the film about Connie Reeves touch a place so deep in my city girl heart. This was the life I yearned to be living, all those years growing up in Detroit. To have it captured by someone who can see and show the heart, the love, the work, the enduring values is [...]

There’s nothing like seeing the the world from the back of a horse. It just makes everything alright again. Everybody should try it, maybe people would get their mind right.

I stumbled across your website and have thoroughly enjoyed your work, mostly because it reminds me of a true American Cowgirl close to my heart - my sister Kara. She has been a competition rider since the age of four and still is now at 35. She embodies the spirit of an American Cowgirl more [...]
