The Authentic IEA Team started off the new season on rock star vibes.

They came and slayed/ate it up beyond my expectations despite some minor bobbles. I guess that’s how you would say it.

The ribbons and placing are great but the compliments our team received were the real winning factors.

The Middle School Team is small & stealth 🥷. Those ladies held their own to bring some consistent points to the board. Finishing up respectively both days.

The High School Team is becoming birds of a feather 🪶. They all dealt with some adversity with their draws each day. All in all it helped them be 🥉 day 1 and res champs day 2.

Now to the bundles of thank you(s). Thank you to and for opening up your farm/show to us. Thank you to Jennifer and Susan for your superb craft skills for the girls goodie bags and fun stuff. Thank you to all the parents for allowing the riders to participate last weekend and be apart of the team.

Thank you to .equiinee for capturing some of these fun moments in the ring 🫶🏾

Now for more practices until our next couple of shows in November 🤠

What’s the month of August without a special trip to Wisconsin to judge one of my favorite horse shows. Seeing all my favorite ppl were the icing the cake.

Thank you Courtney and the whole Seoul Creek Family for opening up your farm to me. It’s always a blast judging for you all.

We didn’t get any selfies this go around because of all the memories we made. Plus Carter kept me young and on my toes per usual.

Can’t wait for next time. 🧀🐴🎉

Late recap: Returning from a quick Jay summer break-cation. We hit the ground running and jumped into the IEA mindset w/ a mini bootcamp.

The girls did some strength training prior to saddle time. They learned the in(s)/out(s) of show prep. Started with practicing the show packing, some horsemanship aftercare , course building, practiced their judging skills with me as their test dumbie. Plus building team camaraderie.

Special thank you to for opening up the farm to the team practice out of.

Thank you to .b.pugh & for your surprise guest expertise. So excited for you to conquer Penn State.

We are so excited for the upcoming season with some new riders we have this season. Stay tuned for what’s to come 📣🐴

A impromptu opportunity to judge is a grateful opportunity. Thank you Miss Dene for having me up this weekend. The weather was lovely. The riders brought their A game. Good start to the some month.

“A person who voluntarily expresses a willingness to undertake a service.”

“The ability to demonstrate respect, fairness, and integrity towards opponents, teammates, and officials.”

These are just a couple examples to describes Becca. I was thrilled when she was nominated at this year’s IEA Nationals. But to be honored with the Jr Volunteer Sportsmanship Award. It’s icing on the cake.

She deserves it for sure. All the time and effort she gives to the TALLC is very appreciated..

Grateful to be on her journey.

Congratulations again Becca 🎉

Our last horse show to kick off summer was short, simple and sweet. What a better place to do it than . Jenna and Becca held their own in some competitive classes.

🎵 Jenna and Fresco kept improving each day with their round in the older Children’s. Snagging multiple main ribbons.

🎵 Becca and Limerick keep up the pace and I mean literally. They got ribbons in majority of their 2ft/Long Stirrup classes.

We had great weather 3 out of 4 of the days. The rainy day we smiled and laughed the most we could. We loved getting to see all our horseshow friends too☔️🤭

Thank you Mama Jen & Wendy for keeping us fed and hydrated 🫶🏾
