Tyra Wolfwell on Behold The Darkness AV (owned by @av_studs )
——
“Alright Shadow let’s show ‘em what you’re made of, yeah?” I talk to the beefy stallion as he jerks his head up and down ready to go.
——
Finally, the release. We speed into the arena. I pull up on the short barrel reins just enough so I can grab the flag from the canister. I release without meaning to and Shadow starts booking it again. Thankfully, my hand is wrapped around the little flag.
——
“Don’t waste it all here,” I’m begging the stallion as he thunders for the other side of the arena. We make it and round the barrel. I dunk the flag into the canister as Shadow goes ahead and takes off for home.
——
We’re out of the arena. I exhale and pat his neck. Josh is standing there waiting for me. “That was fast. Really fast!” I exclaim. taken in Mirkwood Ranch by @tyra.wolfwell

Tyra Wolfwell on JS Just Got Whizzed
#avcoa_reining
——
You are never as alone as you think. If you or someone you know might need help, there are many resources available to you. 🩵💜
——
“Wo-oah, Whizzy…” I exhale and take my legs off of the galloping stallion’s sides. He buries his legs deep into the ground. I shake the reins up to gain his balance.
——
I glue my right leg to Whiz’s and he bolts around in a left rollback. We lope back down to the opposite side of the square arena cutting down into a sliding stop once again as we pass the last marker.
——
Right rollback. Now we speed down to the other side and stop a little ways past the center. I shove my rein hand into his mane as his neck goes down. “Back up, Whiz, back it up…” I mutter and pull up on him until he’s moving.
——
Once we are at the center marker we breathe in hesitation. I adjust my mess of a seat and tilt him around 90°. Facing the small audience of onlookers (the majority of folks cleared out after the Grand Prix), we spin four times to the right. Whiz’s spins are so fun to ride. No match for his rollbacks, but still a thrill.
——
Hesitation. Then we make our left circles. Three with the first two fast and the last one slow. A sliding stop in the middle. Four spins to the right now following a hesitation. Mirror the circles on the right. Sliding stop. Hesitate
——
Lastly, we begin a large and fast circle to the left. We extend the circle out, not closing it in at the center, and run down the wall. We slide to our last stop at the end. Soft applause from the bleachers. A moment of hesitation and… “We did it, Whiz! You still got it.”
——
I let my reins fall over my saddle horn and mess with my ponytail, taking it down as the big bay shows himself out of the arena. taken in The Show by @tyra.wolfwell

Tyra Wolfwell on Mates Copper Dun
#jwa_chc_2026
——
“My allergies are going to make me die, Josh.” I enthused dramatically as I inhaled another annoying sniffle.
——
Josh, standing on Party’s left shoulder, looked up at me pitifully. “Want me to get you a tissue?” He offered.
——
“No, but thanks. It’s about to be my turn.”
——
This was true enough. The last duo’s cow escaped into the herd just as I said that. Party and I were up. We snaked into the arena past the exiting horse and got ready. I slid the reins through my hand.
——
“Wolfwell on… Copper Dun…” The announcer’s microphone crackled and skipped words. I guess sea air and speaker systems don’t mix too well.
——
As our time began we got to work, isolating a tan little heifer and predicting her movements as she tried to get back to the hard. Party sank into the footing of the arena, all but laying in it, boxing the cow.
——
We kept her and moved on to the next cow. I wasn’t sure how much of our 2 and a half minutes were left as I picked out a solid black cow. She was quicker but Party was smarter and kept up with her. Time was up.
——
A small eruption of applause from the other riders and their horse husbands and wives came from the friendly group of JWA followers outside the arena. I let the reins sag over Party’s neck and scratched her.
——
“Nice work, Tyra! You looked great.” Josh complimented as I came back out of the arena.
“Tha— ACHOO. Uck. Is that tissue offer still on the table?” I winced. taken in The Show by @tyra.wolfwell

Tyra Wolfwell on Under The Willow Tree
#rtsbridlelessreining2026
——
“Let’s do it, sweet girl!” I exclaim as Willow and I take off into the arena. Her little Arabian feet trample over soft ground and we cut the arena across in half.
——
“Woah-oh!” I exclaimed as we hit the 3/4 point, tugging a tuft of her mane upwards. The dainty mare rolled into a stop.
——
We rollbacked to the right and did it all again on the other side. I was gentle with her mane, making my vocal commands clear in place of the bridle.
——
We rollbacked left and came back to our original spot. Here, we back up to the middle of the arena. I dropped my hand in our hesitation, retwining her soft mane through my fingers.
——
We then performed four incredible spins to the right. Then we did them left. Then, three nice circles to the right, a lead change in the middle, and three to the left. Finally, we changed leads again and ran down the wall before stopping and hesitating for the final time.
——
“Woohoo!” I shouted and wrapped my arms around Willow’s neck. “I love, love, a thousand times, love you!” I spoke into her pricked black ear. taken in Reintree Stables by @tyra.wolfwell

Some coincidences are more delightful than others. Today’s was exactly that!
——
Ranger showed in a senior class at a local reining circuit today and won. As it turns out, his first born foal, Tucker, had won his junior class as well at the very same show!
——
The two boys haven’t been together in a long time. I think Ranger was thrilled to see his oldest son once again! taken in The Show by @tyra.wolfwell

Successful first ride for my niece and nephew, Valerie and Vamar! I sent this picture to Roxie shortly after. Valerie rode old reliable Navy and Vamar rode Princess! Princess loves little kids with her entire heart. She turns into a different horse when the little ones are on her. Both kiddos absolutely fell in love with the horses and I can’t wait to have them out again! taken in My Ranch by @tyra.wolfwell

I stumbled into Miss Rita’s studio in Aideen’s Plaza with CeCe’s leash wound tightly in my hand. It really was too long for a puppy.
——
Miss Rita was instructing a group of children on the far side of the dance studio and their parents were waiting on the opposite wall. It took a minute of scanning before I spotted Roxie. She was still in her office clothes.
——
“Tyra!” She waved when she spotted me. I made my way over. “Can you believe how hot it is? I had to take my blazer off.”
——
“Hey, Roxie. What’s going on? What did you need me here for?”
——
My sister gave me a smug grin. “Well…” she began with her eyes drifting back towards her daughter and son. “The kids are almost done with their ballet class. I was thinking afterwards you could take them to the ranch for a riding lesson?”
——
She said it so casually I was certain I heard her incorrectly. “What? Are you serious?”
——
She nodded nonchalantly. “If that isn’t inconvenient for you.”
——
“Wh— of course not! I—“ I stopped to gather my words. “Are you sure?”
——
Roxie sighed and looked on at the two tiny dancers. “These are two of the most voracious kids. If they want to take up horseback riding, well… I want it for them too. Micah and I have been talking about it. My issues shouldn’t define what horses mean for them. And Tyra, I trust you. I really do.” taken in Dance Class by @tyra.wolfwell

Tyra Wolfwell on First Class
#StrawberryShortcakeWPT
——
I justified my purchasing of this strawberry themed tack set and outfit by telling myself I was going to enter every class at this pleasure show (even hunter under saddle!) But then, Roxie called me last night and wants me to come meet her in Jorvik City today. So that only left time to enter one class, frustratingly. Whatever she needs me for better be worth it!
——
Fera, sweet as a shortcake herself, eases into the arena at a delicate walk. We approach the first obstacle which is 4 half poles arranged into a square. Gently, she steps her forelegs over and we maneuver around the box.
——
Next up, we jog over a set of poles and then pick up the lope over poles at a slant. She feels nice to ride on this early morning.
——
We’re back down to the walk now and we pass through a gate. Fera waits patiently for me to open the gate before she steps over the ground pole. I loop the rope back across. We jog again and over some more ground poles.
——
The last obstacle is a bridge. We slow it down. Fera’s nose sniffs the bridge, painted in a strawberry pink color, and then steps onto it. We cross and then jog off. taken in The Show by @tyra.wolfwell

Tyra Wolfwell on The Best Or Nothing
#sainteden3day2026
——
I don’t do a lot of jumping but if I had to, then this would be it, I decide while inhaling the breezy summer air of Everwind Fields. Outdoors over exciting obstacles? Sounds like another day on the ranch. I love it.
——
Cedes paces gently and ready in our starting position. He’s not worried so neither am I. It’s not like riding Hershey, I shudder, remembering our fall in the creek a few years back.
——
When it’s time to go we burst off with good speed. The sound of Cedes hooves plummeting into the grass is amazing. We head for the first jump, a little log, and make it over easy. A few strides ahead is a taller pile of logs but we make it over. The gelding collects himself as the ground unevens.
——
Part of the road is blocked off for the course with one of those jumps that looks like a little house. What’s that called again? My mind wanders for a brief second before we’re a few strides away. Up into my two-point and we’re over.
——
The course continues and the jumps change as we go around the outskirts of the Baroness’ Racetrack and eventually down past the Silverglade Manor. We’re setting up straight for a water jump when I feel the familiar slip. We’re going over too early.
——
“Cedes!” I shriek, but he lands solidly into the shallow creek, the water splashing up and cooling both of us down pleasantly. Trust restored, we thunder through to the next jump.
——
The course ends down by the Silversong in a beautiful Willow Tree pass. “Woohoo!” I cheer as Cedes settles down to a trot. An attendee hands me a water bottle. I dump some of it over Cedes neck first and then chug it down. Not bad! taken in Silverglade by @tyra.wolfwell

Tyra Wolfwell on Red Rover AV
#jwa_cbs_2026
——
“Red’s mane….” I grieved before entering the arena, letting the skimpy strands of red hair flutter through my fingers.
“What?” Josh protested. “He loves his new haircut!”
Note to self: don’t let a man cut your horse’s hair. Even a very nice man.
——
We headed into the arena as the last rider jogged out. At the extended jog we paced forward along the right railing and over a set of four logs. Then we came upon a bridge and slowed to the regular jog to cross it. Once over, we return to our extended jog.
——
We enter a wooden Y and halt at the end of the chute. Nudging my boot heel into Red’s side, I prepare him to back out the other side of the Y from which we came in. He does so well. We then go back through it at the extended jog and make a sharp turn as we come out.
——
We slow to a walk and head over another set of wooden logs. Then, we move directly into the lope and diagonally cut through the arena and make way over a very low, naturey prop jump. On the other side we switch leads and lope around a barrel with some flowers on it. I feel a bit like a working eq rider for a moment.
——
We slow to a walk and ultimately halt at a gate. Carefully positioning ourselves so I can reach the gate loop with my right hand, we open it, enter, and close it behind us before jogging past it. The audience applause between each maneuver is encouraging to Red’s ears.
——
The last thing on our pattern is to side pass over some more logs. We ready ourselves and follow suit, and then jog out of the arena. taken in The Show by @tyra.wolfwell

Walter Wolfwell on Joker’s Money
#jwa_cbs_2026
——
(Grandpa’s POV)
Harley’s got an old soul. That’s something you can feel when you get to being my age. Maybe that’s why her and I get on so well.
——
We enter the arena at a steadfast lope and gain acceleration as we cover ground. 3/4 down we stop and Harley’s feet roll underneath her body in a cloud of dust. It’d make a man who wasn’t used to it cough or hack.
——
I shook Harley back up and balanced and kept asking her to back. She minded and we headed back to the middle of the arena. Pause. Then we faced the left wall with a slow turn. Now for the fun part. We spun to the left 3 times with Harley’s Rapunzel mane gathering coo’s of admiration from the audience as it picked up wind. We came to a hesitation. Then we spin 3 times to the right. Hesitate it out.
——
Next up were the circles. We took the first two to the left with a grace but fast footed speed making them large enough to occupy most of the room in the arena. The last was little and lopey which was preferable on easy-to-ride Harley.
——
We changed leads in the middle and the gray mare swished her tail. The circles were mirrored on the right side before ultimately changing back to the left lead. We rounded out a big circle and then ran down the right wall. Long stop. Rollback right. Do it on the other side. Rundown. Stop. “Atta girl, that’s the way to do it.” taken in The Show by @tyra.wolfwell

Josh Wayne on Puzzled For It
#jwa_cbs_2026
——
(Josh’s POV)
Puzzle and I flowed into the arena at unmatched speed. As I watched the last set of orange cones pass my peripheral vision, I lifted my legs from Puzzle’s sides and toyed up the reins. She put on the brakes and rolled into a long stop.
——
I wiggled the reins upwards getting her back on her feet in straight into the back up. As she plunged her hooves into the ground below us, I flicked my head to the right every few seconds to see how close we were getting to the middle cone. When we reached it, I let the reins fall. Puzzle’s movement broke.
——
We turn around so we’re facing the left wall. I give us a hesitation to adjust. Then, I start to tap my heel into Puzzle’s cinch for a spin. She’s moving before my foot even touches her, but doesn’t mind the squeezing as if only to entertain my nerves. What a dream horse.
——
We spin thrice to the left and shake out a hesitation. Three the other direction now. Hesitate. Puzzle already knows what’s coming as she steps towards the left side of the arena. I kiss to her and she takes the signal. Two nice and big circles at a fast gait to the left and then we drop down to an easier lope to make the third, small one. A lead change when we come back to the middle and we mirror it on the other side.
——
After our final right circle, we change our lead in the middle again and start another big circle. Don’t close it, go to the wall, I repeat in my head as I visualize the pattern. We run down the wall. “Atta girl, Puzz,” I say or at least mouth the words with my lips. She slides into a deep and powerful stop, her nose nearly tipping the back rail. A quick rollback to the right and we’re going around to the other side. Reach, stop, rollback left. It’s when we’re on the right wall again that we stop for the final time. taken in The Show by @tyra.wolfwell
