Out and about with the 3 year old
Reveille MP was a brave boy today! A huge thank you to Susan @Dreamcatcher Farm Aiken, for providing a fun playground on her Working Equitation course. #blessedandgrateful Susan Haire MacRae Melanie Harper @MP Sporthorses
Reveille MP ❤️KWPN loving the journey with this young man. So happy to have the time to bring him along slowly and carefully. He is intelligent, sensitive and eager to please. A shout out to Melanie Harper of MP Sporthorses for breeding this lovely gelding. #blessedandgrateful
Finally on a Connemara!
So happy that Trout Ranch Whimsey is at CWF! I’m the lucky rider who gets to leg her up! #blessedandgrateful#loveconnemaraponies Julia Latham American Connemara Pony Society (unofficial) Linda Haines
Radar shenanigans
Thank God that Abby has a good temperament! Get a donkey they said it’ll be fun they said! He is a true squeak monster 😂
The fiery one
Ignatia LJS had her 7th ride with Brian and it seems the sky is the limit. Higher fences at a faster pace was easy peasy. She truly loves to jump. After every ride, Brian laughs and says he can’t believe this “small mare” (16 hands) jumps with this much talent, heart and power. Current plan for Iggy is a journey to Southern Pines in May, to have some eventing training and will be offered for sale. Lazy J Sporthorses - LJS Sporthorses Brian Gjetley
Ignatia LJS
Thank you to Brian Gjetley, for another fun school with Iggy. After warm up in stadium, we went out onto the beautiful cross country course at Dara Knot Farm. Before today, Iggy has only schooled cross country about 3 times, years ago. I dare say Iggy has found her niche. Brian feels she could do both Jumpers and Eventing. She will be available for a new home soon! Lazy J Sporthorses - LJS Sporthorses Brian Gjetley
Thank you, Brenda Goodearl Art, for the 3 beautiful paintings (Abby, Ignatia and Reverent) to add to the galley! Your talent is incredible! !
Ignatia LJS
Ignatia LJS has begun training for her new career as a jumper. This is her third time out, with Brian piloting, and her first time at The Vista. Her sire was a successful GP jumper, and Iggy was 3rd for jumpers in ALL of North America at her 6 month old inspection. I love her, but the dressage ring (although she is schooled through 4th level) is not the best fit for her happiness. I hope to find her the perfect new home. Lazy J Sporthorses - LJS Sporthorses

Christmas fun
Harley ❤️ GSD. Life is good…favorite ball, couch time and a Christmas movie
Radar on a rampage
Radar the tormentor….while trying to take Abby out, Mr Radar tried to sneak out (nothing new) and I had to let Abby go. Those who love him will say “awww he’s trying to help catch her”….#getadonkeytheysaid #itwillbefuntheysaid
Hacking around the farm
Feeling blessed and grateful to call this home. Every day I am thankful.
Here we grow again!
Just when you think the projects are done for CWF 2023, Phase 2, the bathroom addition, has begun! Also, bonus, installation is underway for fiber optic cable! All on the same day!
Happy days!
The phrase “diamonds are a girls best friend “ definitely does not apply to this horsewoman! Love my new ABI ring drag . Thank you, George, for this wonderful anniversary gift. George Murray #blessedandgrateful #CWF2023 #dreamarena
