SFC new fencing started yesterday! So exciting! New water crossing for our lane hack! (And no more mare/gelding "chatting" over the fence.) Will post a photo of final product after completion!

Pat on Corey, Marty on Fashionista. It was a lovely hack today! Lots of hikers, bicycles, and birds. Soft breeze. The matching lilac shirts are purely coincidence. 😁

Summer and Mary Gangster completed their first horse trial today!!! First competition for both of them! Both just started jumping! 👍

Next up in our barn meet & greet is Kira and her guy Samurai! Kira has been leasing Samurai for almost exactly a year now. He's a 13 yo ottb with the best heart ever. They've been competing at BN level in eventing. Their goals are to eventually move up to Novice and maybe even do some recognized events. Kira is 13 and has been riding basically her whole life. She has been eventing for a little over 2 seasons now. And she's been a part of the Fox Crossing family for 3 years and is constantly learning and moving forward.

Meet Adelee Dyrssen a dressage and event rider from Tx. "I’ve competed through Novice and 3rd level dressage as a junior. I also have a background in many other disciplines, including barrel racing and vaulting. I’ve spent several years as a working student in Tx and Pa. My current horse is Don’t Wake the Dragon aka Kaida, 7 year old OTTB mare. She’s been with me for 3 years since the end of her racing career, and we are slowly progressing up the levels in eventing with goals of going prelim."

Karin and Kacey, a spirited 17-year-old Thoroughbred cross mare, have shared a remarkable journey together. Their partnership began nearly a decade ago in hunter jumpers, where they achieved success. New experiences led them to explore dressage and liberty work.
Recently, they made a move to The Stables at Fox Crossing, seeking fresh challenges and opportunities. Both Karin and Kacey aim to strengthen their confidence, both individually and as a team. Looking ahead, they aspire to return to jumping and eventing, pushing their limits, and celebrating their bond. May their determination and shared passion lead them to new heights! 🐎🌟

Meet Erin and Axel, an 8 year old TB with a heart of apples and carrots. When asked what they do together, Erin says, “Their best.” Axel came to Erin 2 years ago under the alignment of “right place right time” stars. As an OTTB, Axel and Erin worked on ground work and liberty training, then progressed to dressage work. Together, they moved to The Stables at Fox Crossing in September 2023, where they began schooling jumps and xc. They completed their first event together in May 2024. Erin’s goals with Axel are to continue to grow their solid, trusting relationship. She can see them moving forward in dressage or eventing, but either way, she knows they have an exciting future ahead.

Meet Kolbe Riney, an eventer that recently moved to Pennsylvania and Fox Crossing after competing for the last 15 years throughout Area X, IX, and IV. She spent several summers in her early twenties as a working student outside of Denver, Colorado. Her current horse, 24Karat Magic aka "Joey", is a 13 year old Australian Stockhorse gelding that she's developed through Training level. As a partnership, they finished 4th in the Classic Series Novice 3 day Event at Coconino in 2023, and were Area X's second ranked Novice Rider combination in 2023. She hopes to advance him to the Preliminary level.
