We had a very busy Saturday showing across the country. 2 trainers in 2 states over 1,000 miles apart, our riders competed at their best. Chelsea Landes and Robin Kritser are competing in Chicago, IL, for HITS Chicago at Lamplight Equestrian Center; Robin and Frankie won their .65M jumper class. Chelsea and Vito have been competing in the .90M and taking Venti in the 1.10M.

Will Rogers Range Riders Arena. Carolyn and Aria won high point rider for their division, Laurie and Mateo won their jumper class, Cayleigh and Chex won the Equitation and HUS, and Kaitlin and Finn won the hunter rounds. We had a wonderful day and are so proud of our riders, who work so hard to prepare and show we could not be more proud!

We had a fantastic show last weekend at
Big 5 Horse Show Association. Bringing 11 horses and 9 riders to compete in the English Divisions. It honestly took a village to get all of our riders and horses into the ring and have the best rounds we could have asked for. Special thanks to Taylor Megan Herrera for helping us get ready and Floyd Brown for assisting us ringside with the horses; we couldn’t have done it without you. Special shout out to a few of our first-time riders, Ashley Terrell Sims, Sierra White, and Cayleigh; everyone did fantastic! As well as Atticus Finch’s first time showing at Big 5, coming home with a High Point Champion for the 2’3 division, “Finn” is available for sale.
We can’t wait for next Saturday to do it all again!

Competing this week at the FEI Split Rock Jumping Tour….Let me clear my throat

12/10/2022

In loving memory of Piper aka The Doodle 2003-2022

Piper filled a room when he was in it, not just because he thought he was an 18hh stallion. He was ever so genuine and goofy and perfect in all of the right ways. We know the hole he has left in our family's hearts is as big as he was. To everyone who adored him, loved him, and is holding his memory close to their hearts, let it be known that he was so well loved by all that knew him.

Welcome to the family Venti! Thank you Katalyst Sporthorses for helping find this special horse! We can’t wait for him to start traveling from Europe to the US.

I’m happy to announce that we have TWO horses headed to the US!
The brief was...schoolmaster, confidence builder and TALL. I think all those boxes were checked!
Congrats to Chelsea Landes on her purchase of Corventus aka “Venti” a 9 year old Hanoverian gelding. Chelsea is beginning her professional career in Texas and wanted a partner to get her in the rated show ring.
Marc and I hope you have years of learning and fun with him!
