Silver Lining Equestrian Center

Silver Lining Equestrian Center Horse boarding and training facility to match each individual horse owner’s needs. Silver Lining is a facility designed for full boarding and lessons.

We have a great lesson program for riders of all ages and experience levels! Children can start lessons as early as 5 years old. We also have a fun group of adult riders! Our riders have the opportunity to lesson on their own horse or one of our wonderful lesson horses (all sizes and experience levels). We go to horse shows 1-2 weekends per month so that riders get the experience and fun of compet

ing and doing well in an environment that doesn't pressure families to travel every weekend. Silver Lining also offers Camps throughout the year.

Today, Silver Lining Equestrian Center is acknowledging 4 of our girls who are spending this Christmas break either celebrating recent accomplishments or looking forward to some thrilling new adventures in the Spring of 2025! We couldn’t be prouder of these amazing riders and the dreams they’re destined to accomplish. Keep shining, ladies!

Emma Suess is a name that everyone at the barn knows well. This sweet girl has put countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears into SLEC’s lesson program and her own riding journey as both a student trainer and an intercollegiate rider. We are so excited to see how she flourishes in the Spring of 2025 as she finishes her business degree in her hometown of Asheville, NC at App State. Barn members of all ages are going to miss you so dearly, Emma. We love you, and sincerely appreciate your years of dedication to the young riders and community of the SLEC family. We know you are going to do so well and you will ALWAYS have a home with us!!

Ella Dreaden has had an incredible last couple of weeks with some MASSIVE life updates. On Saturday, December 14th, Ella not only graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Agricultural Science, but also got ENGAGED to ! Luckily for us, Ella will be staying in Auburn, where she will be leading the SLEC lesson program! We are pumped to have her as such a big part of our team for the busiest time of the year. Congratulations, Ella, and let’s rock the spring together!

Ashley Costello, one of our stellar sophomore riders, also has a big spring upcoming! She will be joining the team with our close friend, Shannon Riley! As a dedicated working student with Shannon’s coaching, she and Bo are sure to become the best versions of themselves in the show ring. We are going to miss you this semester, Ashley, but we are looking forward to seeing you around Area III over the next few months and hearing about all of your fun adventures!

We can’t forget about another engagement in the SLEC family, which belongs to Emily Kuras! She and had this special moment on December 14th as well! Such an exciting day for SLEC— congratulations Emily!!

It’s been a few weeks since the last rider highlight, but I saved this one as the start of Christmas week, where we will be celebrating some of our girls that have accomplished some amazing milestones recently, and those that have such exciting plans in the spring!

SLEC RIDER SPOTLIGHT: WEEK 13

To kick off the saga, we are spotlighting Miss AK Waller! AK is a senior majoring in psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences that we have been so fortunate to get to know better over the last year. She does not currently own a horse, but she has worked with two fantastic OTTB’s during her career as a student and Auburn Eventing member, Chase Your Dreams, of whom she placed 7th in the BNR at the 2021 AEC, and Rock the Causeway (both pictured). AK graduates in May, but until then, she will be living the dream in Orlando, working as a part of the Disney College Program! We are going to miss this girl so dearly, but her contagious radiant energy is sure to take her far in the Magic Kingdom. We are so excited to see all the amazing things you do, AK! 💙🤍

SLEC RIDER SPOTLIGHT: WEEK 12

A new week means a new SLEC show team member to celebrate, and the rider spotlight on this chilly afternoon goes to Miss Ava Arnold! Ava is a junior majoring in aviation management in the Air Force ROTC program at Auburn! Ava has had the joy of bringing a lease horse down from her hometown in Nashville, TN to compete with this year, and I don’t believe that there is anyone not obsessed with him. Peter Parker, a.k.a. “Peter” is a 6 year old draft cross, and he has proven to be an absolute cross country machine. Ava would love to run Peter at the novice at champs this year, and she has already been getting a fantastic head start with a solid run at Bouckaert Farm in October! Ava and Peter are a delight to have as a part of our crew, and we are having so much fun watching them thrive. Keep up the great work!

SLEC RIDER SPOTLIGHT: Week 11

After a week away (oops), we are back with our newest rider of the week, Miss Emma Suess! Emma is a senior majoring in Marketing, and she is currently running the novice with a clear path to her training move up on HVF On Point, her 10 year old Irish Sport Horse. Emma and “Billy” have been a part of the SLEC show team and family for 4 years now, and there is no doubt something special about this sweet girl. She not only dominates on the eventing stage herself, but Emma has also dedicated countless hours to so many of SLEC’s precious lesson kids through teaching, coaching at shows, and ensuring that children and their parents alike have a strong foundation in the sport. We love you Emma, and can’t wait to see what you do next 🤍💙
