What a great end to a wonderful series. Couldn’t be more proud of all of my students or more appreciative of all of my helpers and team. Great day today for all, but special mention to Lexxi Lavechia for winning champion of the developing eq on her Birthday! Shout out as well to Lyla Radecki for reserve in the xrail and Mackenzie Bresette for champ in the adult/green horse.

Below you will find important information regarding this Sundays second Northern Equestrian Schooling Series show hosted by Dream Valley Ranch ⬇️.

Bring chairs, lots of sunscreen, and wear your blue Querencia apparel! Please be sure to read through NESS’s suggested biosecurity measures as we will be taking extra precautions for the safety of our horses this weekend. It’s important information for spectators to be aware of too, not just riders.

We’re looking forward to a weekend filled with ponies and plenty of learning opportunities!

I have no words. This guy came into our lives like a crazy whirlwind and decided to stay and shock us all and become the most reliable, quirky, sweet and patient lesson pony. We were the last stop on his long journey and I hope it was as great for him as it was for all of us 💕 We’d love everyone to share their favourite Tali photos or stories. We know you’re up there jumping out of paddocks and breaking out of your stall! 💕🦄

T’was the night before the first NESS show, when all through Querencia’s barn, the ponies were dozing, resting peacefully without a darn.

Ribbons and prizes were all stowed away, while riders and their families dreamt of the big day.

When out in the barn, there arose such a clatter, Laura ran to see what was the matter.

Away through the barn, she ran like the flash, only to find Brackley the barn cat had gotten into the trash.

The show grounds were quiet, rings ready for the first horse, the microphone set-up to loudly project “first rider on course.”

Remember, dear riders, as you enter the ring, to embrace every moment, let your hearts sing.

Among the ribbons, make sure to have fun. It’s not just about what you have won!
