When it’s cold out, the hay truck pulls up and young and old alike just smile and climb into the hay loft to just knock it out!

Grateful to these troopers along with Eli (NP) who said we can knock out 100 bales in no time. Mission accomplished!

As you all know every year we have our contest to see who does the first fall of the new year.

Well 2025 started Friday with Riley who as you can see took it with a big smile and slight roll of the eyes… fell off last Friday.

We are going to record the top 5 and for 1st we did give Riley a medal this year.

Stalls Available at Spring Tide Farm

We rarely have openings, but due to recent sales, expiring leases, and some of our rider off to college or relocating, we now have three stalls available. Spring Tide Farm is the result of a lifelong passion for horses, riding, and fostering a supportive equestrian community. With over 50 years of experience in the Hunter/Jumper world, we take pride in providing exceptional care for horses and personalized support for riders of all levels.

Here’s what we provide:

Top-tier facilities: An 80 x 200 indoor riding hall, a 100 x 225 outdoor sand ring, turnout paddocks, and access to miles of trails adjacent to Wildcat State Forest. Our heated viewing room offers comfort year-round for riders and visitors.

Comprehensive, personalized care:

• All horses have their own individualized meal plan, designed in collaboration with their owner and our team.
• High-quality hay is provided at least three times a day.
• Daily turnout tailored to each horse's needs, ensuring their well-being and happiness.
• Experienced care, with the option for us to hold your horse for the vet or farrier when your schedule is busy.
• Laundry services available for blankets, pads, and other essentials.

Training and expertise: We specialize in starting young horses and their training, as well as helping riders and horses reconnect and restart their journey together.

Supportive community: A welcoming environment for riders of all levels, from beginners to advanced competitors, along with friendly neighboring stables and horse owners.

Whether you’re looking for a dry stall, leasing options, or full boarding with professional training, we offer flexible arrangements to meet your needs. We’ll work with you to make the transition seamless, whether it’s coordinating hay and shavings or designing a training schedule that works for you and your horse. If you’d like to learn more or schedule a visit, send us a message, and we’d be happy to answer your questions.

Spring Tide Farm is a family-run operation built on decades of passion and commitment. We care deeply about the horses we care for, the riders we support, and the community we’ve built.

The IEA show is tomorrow and we were so lucky to have so much help today!

It is late and need to get some rest and know we might miss a few names that we can update with show photos, but for this post we want to give many thanks to the Quigley family, Radford family, Macaux family, Briggs family, Young family, Biggart family, Cabralis’ family, Braylen, Daryna, Maya, Heather, Olivia, Betsy, Kolya, Steffie, and more.

Everyone came and cleaned and did all kinds of barn work! We are grateful to have such a wonderful barn family constantly here and we miss all the families who are at college, had their own family, moved etc., but we know you are still here!

In our equestrian world, we all have a bond even when we compete. Our friend Greg is facing a tough battle after his recent accident. He has gotten amazing support, and we would like to keep that going.

If you do nothing other than a good thought for him, he and his family will be thankful.

If you choose more than that, here is the link and you are more than welcome to share this to help with his recovery.

We thought someone was going to head back to his original farm but a big surprise and today Eli became the new owner of Tony the Pony (with his amazing mom and dad of course)

With horse superstition you must keep the secret and not talk about it until vet, paperwork, transfers etc. as you never know…

So with all that, Congratulations Eli!!

Today we were working on trotting poles and getting the horses to stretch down and go correctly. Johnny and Hope usually do very well but made one mistake each. However, we told Eli see if you can get Sparkles to trot through the poles, even though they were not set for her stride wise because when we have a little kids ride her, she always walks through them no matter how hard they try. After a few attempts to poles Eli finally got her to trot through and Sparkles gave in, but you could almost see her thinking “really I have to do this!” Best mini! • #horsefarm #equestrian #equestrainlife #barnfamily #horsebackriding #hunterjumper #barnlife #equine #smile #horseback #mini #minihorse #pony #ponies

Jocelyn, on Pete tonight, worked on their rhythm to the jumps. Counting out loud helped to keep her stride consistent. Way to go! Jocelyn will be representing STF at the IEA Regionals tomorrow in the Future Novice over fences class. We know she will shine! ✨ 💙 💚

Olivia doing this combination of a short two stride to a longer three stride practicing with no stirrups to keep those leg strong! As you can see on the first jump, she got caught back a little bit i.e. almost a little bit left behind, but she caught right up and went with him through the rest which shows how much stronger she’s getting. This next time through she has her stirrups and the jumps are a little bit bigger. She needs to continue practicing keeping her hands on the neck and staying down on the landing side a little bit longer. But overall, Olivia is riding extremely well and this team is one to be reckoned with!! Let’s Go Olivia! • #horsefarm #equestrian #equestrainlife #barnfamily #horsebackriding #hunterjumper #equine #barnlife #horseback #team #horsejumping #nostirrups #teamwork #letsgo #practice #jumping #horseriding

@betsy_blazer through this short two stride. She and Tenny did what they do best as a team. On a side note, Betsy got a 97 on her anatomy exam yesterday for her studies to be a vet tech.

This is Clementine riding our chubby little Sparkles today. Clementine is getting really good at keeping Sparkles going, which is sometimes a pain in the butt, unless you have treats or a lot of clucking… Yes mom is filming with one hand on the lunge line and the other on the camera... • #horsefarm #equestrian #barnfamily #equestrainlife #horsebackriding #barnlife #hunterjumper #equine #smile #farmlife #mini #minihorse #cluckcluck #lungeline #cute
