A momentous day here! Our friend Liz, came to us a couple years ago after a nasty riding accident to get back in the saddle. We’ve been working on rebuilding confidence and today she cantered for the first time in years!! It really made my week! I have so much admiration for people who come back to riding later in life (especially after a bad experience)! Go Liz - onwards and upwards!
We may need to rebrand as the Pumpkin Lane Polo Club - just kidding :) but it is fun to have all these new faces and activity here on the farm!
We are excited to be hosting a whole bunch of polo ponies this summer! The first group arrived today and I’d say they look pretty happy to be stretching their legs on some New York grass after the long trip up from Florida!
Those of you who remember Willy when I first got him- will understand why the fact that I’m clipping him on the cross ties and he’s basically falling asleep - is a major accomplishment 🤣 this horse used to literally run out of the barn if you turned on clippers anywhere in his vicinity! **Maybe** he’s finally growing up ??? Gotta celebrate the little victories ☺️
Lucky and Carleigh were our first takers on the Liverpool and they did it without batting an eye! Champs!
After 25(?) years of having to put up with a horse crazy daughter and husband - she turning into a great stable hand. Happy Mother’s Day mama and to all the human, equine, canine, feline etc moms out there 💕
If you are in need of a daily dose of cuteness - here is teaching jellybean to lunge 🥰
Big first today! Daniella cantered!!! Woo hoo!
Big first today! Jess did her first jump! Great job!
