🎉Congratulations on the purchase of E.S. Big Handsome, AKA Rhaegar! 🎉

Sometimes things are just meant to be. Dani took her first lesson with Elevate in November, and just three short months later, she’s found her dream horse! It’s been such a joy to watch this journey unfold, and we couldn’t be more stoked for what the future holds for you both. 🙌🏻💙🙌🏻

“This whole process has been a dream come true. I started at Elevate only a few months ago and have already felt so welcome and cared for! I’m incredibly grateful to Rachael and the whole elevate team for paring myself and Rhaegar together. I am so excited to learn, grow, and bond even more with Rhaegar for years to come! Thank you also to the Jepson family for loving him so well and trusting me with continuing to care for and love him!” - Dani

Happy 4-Year Anniversary Jack 💗🦘

I fell in love with the sport of hunter/jumper shortly after moving to Bend, Oregon. I walked down the aisle of the High Desert Classic at age 7 and saw the beautiful horses in the stalls, smelled of fresh shavings and heard the sounds of traditional Mexican music. Never did I imagine, one day, I’d have my own horse to compete on.

It took years of dreaming, but on Jan. 18, 2021, I met Jack and on Jan. 2, 2022, I could officially call him mine.

I started a journal called “My Journey with Jack” our first show season. The past 4 years have been very different than I expected - ups, downs, twists and turns - but one thing has been constant: Jack has always shown up for me and been a willing partner.

While I’ve been blessed to have three other heart horses - Jack, AKA Well Whiskey 🥃 or Jackaroo 🦘- and I have our own special relationship. (Really he should be named Gentleman Jack 😉…)

Jack has taught me to love myself and exactly where I am at in my journey. Jack is the kind of horse that gives me confidence. If I’m having a bad day, he doesn’t react to my energy (some of my other heart horses liked to push my buttons 🔥). He gives me his all, every day. He calms me when I am nervous or filled with self doubt. He shows me grace and doesn’t hold it against me when I make mistakes in the ring. He tells me what he needs - and I can understand him. He is honest about what he can do. Truth be told, I haven’t even tapped into all of his potential, but he doesn’t care.

Jack, I’m so lucky to have you. I love you. I am greatful just to know you. I am excited to jump the moon with you - when I’m ready 🌛

“See something, say something. An anonymous text to 2USEF is all it takes to report abuse.

I’ll end with this thought. I am clear that all of us, myself included, may have done something in the past that we wish we hadn’t. We have been embarrassed by our own lack of control and knowledge. We were angry. Instead of stepping back and taking a breath, we lashed out. Some of us were trained by those who used abusive training methods, and they were trained by someone who used abusive training methods.

But we know better now. New training methods, vocabulary and attitudes will need to evolve, or we will not succeed as an industry. Perhaps the one thing that brings it all together, the horse, will be lost. The worst result of no horse sport is no horses.”

We all think we know what is going on in the industry we love, but after serving as the chair of the U.S. Hunter Jumper Association Horse Welfare Commission for the past year, now I do know, and I can’t un-ring that bell. I was sickened, as anyone would be, to hear of some of the atrocities commit...

✍️🗒️Did you know that Elevate Sport Horses has its very own curriculum? 🗒️✍️

We’ve created a step-by-step program to make sure every student builds a solid foundation in horsemanship, horse knowledge and riding skills. From learning the basics like parts of the horse and tack, to mastering advanced riding techniques, our curriculum is designed to set students up for strong connection with their horses, one ride at a time.

Huge congratulations to three of our incredible young riders - Jocelyn, Mikayla and Gabby - who recently earned their Bronze Level Certification in our curriculum! Great job girls and coach Becky!

💥Cambridge & Fiona 💥

Congratulations on an incredible final junior year, Fiona! You left the junior division behind with a bang 🧨 during the Nilforushan Equisport Events Temecula Valley National Horse Show, bringing home champion in the 15-17 Equitation (winning both over fences rounds), winning the 3’3 Performance Hunter under saddle, making your 3’6 debut in the Performance Hunters week 2 and having numerous 🔝 3 places in the equitation medals including:
🥈3’3 CPHA foundation medal
🥈3’3 USHJA hunter seat medal
🥉3’3 CPHA style of riding medal

You have put in the work, always put your horse first and are a joy to coach and train. How far you have come … it feels like just yesterday you were jumping around in the large pony division 🎀 🐴

We are so proud of the person and rider you have grown into and can’t wait for you to move into the Adult Amateur Division next year and kick some b***y 👢
