Relying on a 5 year old non-screen kid to take a video of me and my new horse like ...... or not 🤷‍♀️😂

It seems like just yesterday I was helping Sierra deliver the most perfect bay filly with four white socks. She came into the world everything I had dreamed of and more. As I sat back and admired her, I couldn’t help but feel a touch of sadness. She was out of my personal riding mare whom I loved, and by the stallion I had admired since I was a child, but yet I was disappointed in the uncertainty that the future held for her and I.

At the time, I was in the early stages of divorce, and this “keeper” filly - whose life and future had been planned long before - suddenly found herself on a very different path than I had planned. I had hoped that by the time she was grown, my life might look different.. But as it turns out, sometimes the best way to love them is to make the decision that’s best for them.

Today, Tryxie embarks on a big adventure with her wonderful new family, and I couldn’t be happier for her. 💫

I’ve sold several horses from my program over the years - many now call the eastern inland coasts of Canada and the U.S. home - but this one hits a little harder. With her departure, another door quietly closes on a difficult chapter of my life.

Congratulations to Tryxie and her new connections. I know they’ll form an incredible partnership and that she’ll continue to shine in the interior of B.C. Thank you to Sienna Hart at Northern Hart Equestrian for facilitating the sale - her careful development and dedication to her clients was paramount to finding Tryxie the perfect home 🌿

With her sale, my horses have now found homes from * nearly * coast to coast - a true “breeder’s moment” that fills me with pride. As I hang up my hat for the next few years to focus on my family and the simple joy of horses, I do so with immense gratitude for every step of this journey, but Tryxie will always be "the one I let get away". ❤️🐴

A Note About 2026 👇

For the past seven years I’ve poured my heart and soul into this business - running myself ragged for eight months of the year, working late nights (and sometimes all night), and sacrificing most weekends. In the beginning, I was full of passion and purpose, but as life has evolved, I’ve realized how much that pace has cut into my family time and slowly dimmed the spark that made it all worthwhile.

Finally, 2025 was the year that broke me. While I had a good run with minimal issues in the breeding shed, I knew my time would come - and this year, it did. It drained me emotionally, financially, and physically.

Over the past few months, I’ve taken a hard look at what my future with horses should look like. I spent much of the summer hauling my daughter to jackpots, and despite the whispers and giggles about being the “English rider” in the crowd, we had the best time. Despite it all, after deep reflection, Ive concluded this is what I crave in this chapter of my life... the quiet mornings with coffee in the barn, the dusty jeans from ba****ck rides and the giggles that drift across the field reminded me why I fell in love with this life in the first place.

So, 2026 is going to look a little different for me. In an effort to rekindle my passion and rebuild that spark, I’ve decided to continue offering routine ultrasounds, but I will not be taking on any other reproductive work this coming year. I’ll also be booking appointments only on select days, and I strongly encourage clients to book well in advance (like last day of cover ;))

I’ve always prided myself on being flexible and putting my clients first - often at the expense of myself - but 2026 will be the year I work smarter, not harder. I’ll be taking clients four days per month, scheduled logically around breeding windows, to ensure balance for my clients, myself and my family. Im also hoping to focus more on education for mare and stallion owners - there will be more on that coming down the pipe later.

I’m deeply grateful for the trust, friendships, and support that this incredible community has given me over the years. I can’t wait for the day I’m back firing on all cylinders in the breeding shed, but 2026 will be a year of slowing down, reconnecting, and soaking up every precious moment with my daughter and our horses. Catch us in 2026 loving horses at a jackpot, horse show or on the trails ❤️🐴

Nobody really talks about that quiet moment at the end of the season…
When you walk out of the stocks one last time, slip off your mare’s halter, and realize the year’s breeding season is officially over for you.

This year was the most challenging I’ve ever faced. We started the season with heartbreak, losing an otherwise perfect foal, and followed it with fertility struggles in the mare who has always been our most reliable. And so, we hang up Sierra’s halter this year with no foal coming in 2026.

Still, in that stillness, there’s gratitude. Gratitude for resilient mares, for the lessons this season teach us, and for the promise that next year is a fresh start.

Here’s to the mares who gave us their trust, the stallions who gave us their best, and the friends who stood beside us through every high and low. Until next season. ❤️🐴
