Maya and Lucy rocking their cross school this am! Of course they couldn't have done it without the amazing Charm and Guajiro! These horses are gold!
Video speaks for itself ...
A fun dressage class, enjoying our amazing new show jumps, and super excited about putting together our cross field!!

It's been wonderful having Hélène Coulombe here. I've received 4 lessons that have given me new insights as well as held me accountable for my position. We are excited to have Helene here for the next few months to be able to experience her bodywork, Liberty, Soma Breathe and equitation clinics.
Flo the Machine - or Firecracker 🧨- this mare has been on a long road to recovery and strength building as well as keeping her mind relaxed. She's one of THOSE mares....
We have made so much progress - over a looong period of time (didn't know I had this much patience in me) - but I feel like we are finally getting somewhere. Thanks to the help of Tomeu Homar Calafell for the coaching on the flat that has vastly (obviously 🙄) helped, as we begin to pop her over some jumps.
Slow and steady 🐢 .... 🐎
Hard easy or easy hard?
Well, with this horse (Lucca), it's only ONE way. If you don't put in the work, and do it the right way... he'll let you know.
This rider [who's 10] has put in the work - she has a nice following elbow and is turning with her outside aids.
Lucca won't turn if you pull him around the circle or if you lose your position. Lucca makes his riders do it correctly! He makes you focus, stay in your correct position, and use proper aides.
Frustrating at times... but once you get it... the movement you feel in him is dreamy! Not to mention, he's cute, no?
We love Lucca! 🐎
🤩We have a round pen!!! 🤩
Training just got more fun!
