Whoopsies 🙂

Meet Hammer Lane! He’s a 5yo 16.1h OTTB by Songandaprayer, out of Mimi’s Shot by Trappe Shot.

We call this guy Ham! We have to get some shoes put on him & get restarted under saddle. Once we have that taken care of, he’ll be available! I could see this guy being in all three rings or a super cool eventer type.

When Lunar Hill Equestrian started in 2017, the grounds consisted of a flat patch of grass, the early stages of a dry lot, and a pasture.

Fast forward to today, and I am now riding Armonico in our brand new arena, situated perfectly outside of the barn and house. It’s not done yet, but it’s getting close.

Years ago, my grandma would sit on the patio and watch me attempt to ride Alfie in the grass. Now, that very spot has been transformed into a sand arena for year-round enjoyment.

We now have a lighted round pen, a lighted arena in front of the barn, and a spacious jump arena over the hill.

This is truly a full circle moment for me, and I couldn't be more excited to keep sharing the journey with you all. Lots of things happening!

It was dentist day at the barn! Nova was very curious and unsure of what was happening 😂

Thanks McCarthy Equine Dentistry for taking the best care of our horses!

It isn’t done.. but Jordan & Granite were the first to get a lesson in the new arena! Another week or so & it’ll be in full service! 👏🏻

I am a lesson horse.
I am a horse that isn’t as recognized as the top hunter jumpers, the best western pleasure horse, or the 1D barrel horse, I am a lesson horse. I am the backbone of the foundation to do all of those things. I am a lesson horse.

I am not loved by one person. I am loved by several people. I don’t have my person, I have my people. I am a lesson horse.

I will teach your child and yourself more than just to ride. I will bring your child out of their shell. I will teach your child about life. I will be yours and their shoulder to cry on. I am a lesson horse.

I will bring my family the joy of teaching kids. I will bring my families business growth. I am so loved by my family, even if they don’t express it everyday. My family allows others to show me love and enjoy me. I am a lesson horse.

At the end of your childs’ journey on a lesson horse, they will out grow me. They will find one that jumps higher, a horse that is show quality, a horse much faster than me. But, I will never outgrow being a lesson horse. I will be the one that loved your child and helped your child grow into the rider and person they are. I am a lesson horse.

At the end of my time as a lesson horse; I will be covered in grey hair. Each grey hair came from each hour I spent as a lesson horse. I will be in a field of green grass, I will be taken care of as I was when I was a lesson horse. I will watch your child from across the pasture love her new horse. But, I will love your child more than any horse can. I will be the backbone of the business, the family, and your child. Don’t forget about me, I am a lesson horse.

I am a lesson horse.

We ❤️ Bridles & Reins!

Gordon got a new halter to match his brothers, and Gracie got a new bridle! Both of these things came so supple and ready to use right out of the bag. I also ordered some nylon lined stirrup leathers to throw on the lesson saddles. I’m super excited about that - no more stretched out uneven leathers at such an affordable price tag. It’s hard to pass up!

Picaflor is sound & accepted to compete in the 2024 TB Makeover! LETS GO! 👏🏻

The best boy G doing some gridwork over the weekend!

Pikas very first time on cross country was during the mini trial and she absolutely crushed it. She really loves everything, but I think cross country seems to have sparked her interests the most! 🔥 She will be for sale within the next couple of weeks. While she’s green, she will fit a large amount of riders. You can let the horse sit in a stall for a month and then hop on bareback like nothing happened, but don’t let that fool you.. there’s plenty of spark and get up for the bigger tracks. I really think her potential is sky high and I’d love to see her in an upper level program whether that’s eventing or jumpers.

Pikachu is ready for WEC! Course with lead changes? ✔️ 3ft oxers? ✔️ Rollbacks? ✔️ Can’t wait to see what she thinks of such a big venue!

Here’s a long video from Pikas jump school yesterday.. when we weren’t in the middle of a monsoon ☔️ She’s looking & feeling really good! The jumping is becoming second nature and I think she’s just waiting for us to raise the fences and really as her to jump. Right now she’s still really just taking a canter stride over them, & some of these were set at 2’9! Plenty of untapped scope and potential in such a pretty mare.

I can’t make this crap up, these cats are insane

Here’s some quick video from Pikas jump school tonight! We’re all packed and ready to head up to Endless Summer for the weekend. Wish everyone luck!

Such a fun day at the barn! We had Jim from Bargee come over to the farm to give a fresh set of eyes on myself & a couple of my riders and their horses. We learned some new exercise (counter cantering to jumps), got some great pointers, and a lot of praise. It’s so rewarding to hear another pro be impressed with your clients and their horses. Having my riders take lessons from other people is so valuable and I wish it was more widely accepted in the industry. Nobody knows it all, everyone keeps learning! 👏🏻

A small grid for Armonico today! It’s a 9’ cavaletti to a cross rail, 18ft one stride with a pole in between, then another 9’ cavaletti. I like this grid for teaching the horses to slow down over fences, think about their feet, and help encourage them to push off evenly with the hinds. The big cross rails help with keeping the horses form quick and neat! Enjoy Emma’s commentary about Netflix 😂

Audrey & Crixus Gridwork

Gridwork lessons are my absolute favorite to teach. It’s so useful for every horse and every rider of every level! In this video we are using placing poles, bounces, and V poles to help Crixus jump UP over the fence and tighten the knees. Audrey has put a lot of work into this horse & it shows! 👏🏻

Pikachu’s second show!

Pikachu took home 3rd in her second show! What I love about this mare is how easy she is. She hauled in, immediately got tacked up and took a spin around the arena. Shes just a no nonsense, here for the fun type of horse that I’ve come to really appreciate! She will be for sale at the end of October and while I’m going to miss her, she’s really set up for a very successful future with a junior, adult ammy or even professional. Shes got it all!
