Finally getting a chance to make a post, this past weekend we had our first in house show and to say it was a success is a huge understatement. Everyone had an absolute blast and can't wait for the next one. The biggest thank you to Kari Devine for basically making it happen. Another big thank you to Lindsay Paxton for judging. Thank you to Dover Saddlery - Crofton, MD and Maryland Saddlery Consignment Crofton for donating prizes and treats. BIG thank you to Accentuate the Positive for our beautiful shirts we had made for Kari to show our love and support for her. I am so grateful for my amazing clients and friends, can't wait for the next one!

The last 24 hours have been taxing. The hardest part of my job is having to put a horse down. It's not just the hardest part for me, its for the vet, for the owner, for the girl that brushes him after her feed shift. This is the part of the job no one considers when they think about doing it. I see these horses every day for one reason or another. Whether I'm feeding them, cleaning their stalls, using them for lessons, going to ride, or looking out my window. Even if you don't own them, you can't help but become attached in some capacity. Arion was no different, he may not have been mine personally, but he could be really sweet when he wanted, and you couldn't walk past him without giving him a scratch. In this situation I am so grateful for my clients who jumped right in to help when Arion was down Sunday morning. For my neighbor who probably hates seeing my name come across his phone (I only call for emergencies). He never hesitates to come right down and help me when I need it. For my fiancé who also helps in any way necessary, I dont think holding horses while they are euthanized is something he ever saw himself doing. Most of all, I am grateful for my vet, I know how much of a toll putting horses down takes on her too. I could never make it in this industry with all these horses who need constant care and maintenance without Dr. Graham. All this to say, this is a really hard career choice, some days I wish I chose a different one, but this is definitely the hardest part and I am so thankful for all the support I have. We will miss you Arion, so thankful you are at peace and pain free now.

Yesterday was our first show of the season and it was definitely full of ups and downs. Several new partnerships, new show for some, new barn for one, lots of new and exciting things. Yesterday definitely would've been even more chaotic if it wasn't for great, clients, great students, fantastic friends that all chipped in to help where they could. It was a long and exhausting day but overall it was a great first show.

Yesterday was our first show of the season, and it was definitely full of ups and downs. There were several new partnerships, a new show for some, a new barn for one, ribbons won and lots of lessons learned. The day would not have been possible without the best clients, students and friends who jumped in and helped wherever they could. Overall I think it was a great first show of the season and it's only up from here!

This is pretty common sense stuff and i cant believe I have to say it but please dont drive on ANY grass you see here. No matter how small. Mike works really hard to get this place looking as nice as possible not to mention spends his money on seed and people do ignorant stuff like this and it's REALLY frustrating not to mention disrespectful.

Loving the fall colors while teaching lessons. Definitely a bright spot on this rainy, chilly day.
