We couldn’t be prouder of our riders and their hard work in the show ring.
✨ Our riders, Dani, Addie, Marli and Hallie entered three equitation divisions. These were new divisions for Dani and Addie, and our girls came home Champion or Reserve in all three!

🏆 Marli and KT Quinn earned back-to-back Champion titles in the 12-14 Equitation.

🏆Dani and Woldberg’s Bochelli earned Champion in the Pony Equitation

🏆Addie Buteau and Crac D’Iloe earned Reserve Champion in the 15-17 Equitation!

🏆The week prior, Hallie and TJC’s Yo Gotti secured Champion of the Children’s Equitation

We’re beyond proud of how much effort these riders put in, and how they continue to rise to the occasion every time they step into the ring. 💪🐴

🪰Here’s the fly spray every horse needs.
Safe. Powerful. Antifungal.

It’s hard choosing a fly spray. Most are loaded with harsh chemicals or simply do not work.
But this one? We’re excited about it.
Fly Dope by is essential oil-based, non-greasy, and actually works…without the junk.

🐴 Tough on flies, ticks, gnats & mosquitoes
🧼 Gentle on skin, with built-in antifungal properties
🚫 No DEET. No permethrin. No greasy residue.

We use it. We trust it. We recommend it!

🚨 NOW ENROLLING FOR SUMMER 🚨
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new website and the opening of The Academy at KDE—a structured program for children and adults to start or continue their riding journey, even without owning a horse.

Our 8-Step Academy Method was designed to teach true horsemanship—not just riding. With no more than two riders per lesson, students progress through clearly defined levels, learning everything from grooming and tacking to confidently riding full courses. 🐴✨

Whether you're brand new to horses or looking to grow without the commitment of ownership, The Academy at KDE offers the perfect path forward.

Allison is officially headed to Cornell! Her dedication in the classroom has always matched her drive in the saddle. Even a sideline injury couldn’t slow her down—she was back riding just weeks before Indoors, determined as ever to achieve her goal.

She’s the kind of rider who sets an example for everyone in the barn—not just with her work ethic, but with her heart. At shows, she’s always ringside, whether it’s helping Kris in the warm-up or cheering on everyone at the ingate.

We couldn’t be more proud of this incredible achievement. Congratulations, Allison! Cornell is lucky to have you—and we know you’re unstoppable in everything you set your mind to.

🎉Happy Birthday to our fearless leader, Kris!
We’re not sure what fuels the barn more — your commitment to the horses and riders, your love for horses, or a well-timed combo of donuts, coffee, and Swedish Fish. 🍩☕🐟

We are grateful to have you as our fearless leader of a place where horses thrive, riders grow, and we all somehow survive show season together. Your dedication, humor, and relentless work ethic set the tone for everything we do.

Wishing you a year filled with great rides!
