Just like that my little nina bean has found a new incredible home! Watching her grow a little gangly yearling into a beautiful athletic jumping machine has been an amazing journey, im going to miss this horse so much! But one door closes and another opens, and I can't believe I found such a great fit for her! Sometimes the stars truly align❤ Huge congratulations to the ratta family I know addie and nina will do great things and are in the best hands of trainer lelo!

Its hard to sum up 9years, but here are some of the standout memories as she grew up🦄

Driving home from dropping desi off with her new owner, we will miss this sweet and talented mare! Congrats and looking forward to seeing her future success! Shady Maple Farm

Fantastic July GMHA! Weather was beautiful, great company and super accomplishments!

💜Congrats to Christine and Daylan on some excellent rides and some blue ribbons! Daylan earned high point training JR both show days! Can't wait to see rolo and daylan at thier first regional competition!!

🖤Leviathan gave 100% making the move up to 2nd level and did not disappoint! After some dialing in we managed to get a few firsts, qualify for regionals and high point the second day with a 70%! Such a super guy someone is going to be lucky to have him!

Next stop Regionals!💥

Nova Daula SMF 🌸
6yo 16.3h reg kwpn mare by Uno Don Diego
Has all the beauty and brains to be someone's next riding partner to bring along. She had the perfect AA temperament, with 3 correct/comfortable gaits! Easy to manage, with no vices and no health issues clean vetting at 3.
Was fantastic at her first show this summer with high 60's/70's, asking 3️⃣5️⃣k in NH!

07/15/2024

Just in time for the season! "Summer" is here to get started under saddle! Looking forward to working with another incredibly athletic mare!
Thanks to Pferd Wings Farm !!

🧡 RELEVANCE 🧡
8yo 15.1h Registered Hanovarian mare
"Relish" is a sweet and sensitive girl, has three correct gaits and could go any direction!! She has a clean and recent ppe, she unfortunately got a little too long on the back burner and hence is behind in training for her age, her current owner would love nothing more then to see her with a loving home and someone who can bring out her full potential! Easy keeper, no vices, not for a beginner as she is green.
Located in NH Asking 2️⃣0️⃣k - would entertain reasonable offers to ideal partner/home situation.
Is in full training currently to get going again, under saddle with a very good attitude!
Pm for video!

07/11/2024

Not everyday I get to start AND end my day with a chestnut mare! Minka did her best to work through the thick humidity this am, and relish was fortunate to have a nice breeze this pm (although the horse flies can fly through fire apparently 🙄) both these girls are looking for thier next homes!

07/09/2024

Well hopefully everyone had a fun and safe 4th!
Thankfully Levi was un-phased by the sky exploding.... I know we have bombproof horses, but firework friendly seems like a good quality to have! Shady Maple Farm

Mind absolutely blown! This is in so many ways an excellent explanation of why things either don't work out or is extremely challenging for so many riders. I know he is speaking about dogs, but this 100% applies to horses as well!

Offered for your consideration!
🖤 LEVIATHAN 🖤

Levi is a 16.1h 8yo gelding kwpn sired by Totalis! Consistently scoring in the 70s at training and first level. Schooling second level at home and enjoys hacking out as well!
Levi is definitely confident in the show ring and puts in exceptionally consistent rides, no anticipation or nerves in the warmup.
Levi is more of a push ride and does not mind a heavier hand, he is not a super hot/sensitive guy for riders looking for something more manageable and easy going. We are happy to discuss any questions about this handsome guy to help him find his perfect match!

No soundness to health issues, located in NH

Back from an incredibly successful weekend at Green Mountain Horse Association!! 🎉

LEVIATHAN 🖤 Completely blew us away winning his classes, steady scores in the 70's, AND high point champion for both open Training/ First level BOTH days! Thanks to owner Kate Bruning who gave me the time to work with him and get him prepared for this season! Reminder that he is looking for his next rider to take him down centerline!!

💜Rolo and Daylan had thier first ever rated dressage show debut and were able to qualify for regionals in one weekend! As well as a reserve high point and solid scores in the 60's! A huge thank you to Christine who is giving daylan this amazing opportunity, but still got a ride in ans won her class with a 67% with her first ride out this show season! So proud of both these ladies!!

And last but not least a shout out to Caroline Colby and lorino who for the last 4 years I've had the opportunity to train and coach, leaving for college this fall. It's been amazing to be apart of all you have accomplished and watching her fei freestyle at what may be her last gmha show was a very nice icing on the cake this weekend, so many great memories! And thank you to Renay Colby for always helping and being our positive, encouraging barn mom for so many years! You both will be missed!💙

Over the moon!! Such a great day with Shady Maple Farm homebred Nova Dauala SMF at her first show! So relaxed, took it all in, and still managed to put in a few good test rides!!
Kate Bruning , who was a huge part of Nova's journey from the very start, from helping me pick a stallion, to nova's delivery, who was able to be there today to watch and help! Such a special day seeing the first child out there doing grown up things! 😭
So proud of miss nova!🧡

Desi having a little school before the heat with Jessica! Few days off while we are away at the show and comes right back out ready to work! Love this mare! #dressagehorseforsale #dressage #marepower #oldenburg #equestrianlife Shady Maple Farm

Gold star for river this am!⭐ The first baby under saddle this year! She has been fantastic to work with and this is probably our 5th ride and her first canter under saddle, such a relaxed student! Bred and owned by Pferd Wings Farm

After a year off the bay wonder is back! So excited to see these two have some fun this year!! 💫

NOVA DUALA SMF Coming 6yo 16.2h kwpn mare. Correct, balanced gaits and unbeatable work ethic! Looking for her next rider! Located in NH! #dressage #kwpn #dressagehorseforsale CAF Equestrian Shady Maple Farm

Tell me you have the best baby without telling me you have the best baby! So over the moon to have nova back after some time off and this is her second ride, can't get more of a work ethic then this mare! So happy I can continue on her journey and find her next dance partner! #kwpn #dressage

Caroline Colby and her new guy finn! Looking great! 🔥🔥🔥

Miss mia! Love when the spicy girl focuses her energy 🔥 #dressage #marepower

Wills getting to stretch his legs! When you're 18h you can really make quick work of the long diagonal!! #dressage #oldenburg

It takes a lot of hard work to make things look easy! Can't wait to get down centerline with jade chf🧡

❄I bet my snow storm was better then yours! Behind the scenes of our Christmas photo session today with Tack Room Photography🎄 Thanks to corrine for loaning me miss mia! She didn't mind a little holiday decor!!☃️

Nice day to switch things up!

Miss kara has been an excellent student these past months!! Bear on the other hand, needs some equitation lessons🤔 love this girl!❤

It's taken quite some time to develop Nina's lengthening but we finally had some light bulb moments and this month it really clicked for her! My little girl growing up!😍😭

Nina bobbing for apples, one way to keep the horses hydrated during a super hot show! 🤣 ((don't worry she did eventually get one to eat!))

These CHF horses know how to relax!🤣 karalidin chf settling in well, clearly stressed🤣😂 jade chf is in the comments at the show also showing off her sleeping talents😁🥰

We always say horses are unique and individual, and off that its important to find what your horse enjoys, and find a way to make it part of your everyday routine. Better connection builds a stronger relationship. Jade loves loves loves her face brushed and rubbed, she just leans right into it, and its literally just the sweetest thing❤ #myheartmeltseverytime

This little Morgan has been tricky, and comical every step of the way in his training, but he is really starting to figure this whole dressage thing out! He keeps me on my toes but I am really excited to see him progress!
