Love Dressage & Horsemanship

24/10/2025

I am looking for 2 more riders in my upcoming November clinic!
9 am - 4 pm. Any level is welcome. There will be ground work and ridden work, diving into the world of lateral movements at the walk trot and canter!

The clinics listed below will all be held at our farm located in College Grove, Tennessee in our beautiful covered arena. Open to riders of any discipline, this opportunity provides a calm and accepting place where both horse and rider can learn and thrive. If you've never ridden in a clinic before,...

The pre-show meeting 🤓
What a day we had Saturday at a local schooling Dressage show! These ladies showed up focused, with zero drama, and with love for their horses. In a sea of English riders, they stayed focused in that warm up ring and did their job! Cori received her highest score to date (71%!) and April accomplished her first ever show (on her 21yo gelding) and successfully road 3 tests. I am very proud of them and their horses! Looking forward to the next one in just a few weeks!

We had such an ideal group for the obstacle clinic this past Saturday. There were green horses, green riders, “been there done that horses”, and seasoned riders! Everyone had their own projects and made these obstacles work for them and their horse. They all showed up and did the work!

Today’s “Confidence and Curiosity with Obstacles” clinic was a success! ✨ more photos to come. Thanks to everyone who came out!

Test Riding Made Simple Clinic
September 20, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
💲 $200/person
Riding a test doesn’t have to feel intimidating. This clinic is designed to take the pressure out of the arena and replace it with clarity, confidence, and even a little fun.
Together we’ll:
✨ Break down the test step by step
✨ Understand the “why” behind each movement and the scoring system
✨ Practice sections before riding the full test through
Each rider will finish the day with a judged ride, written feedback, and a clear path forward in both accuracy and presentation. My goal is for you to leave not only more prepared, but more connected to your horse and confident in your partnership. *English and Western test options!*
📍 Limited spots — message to reserve.

A big thanks to Karen Bielecki, a local barefoot trimmer, for joining us at the farm today to give a hoof balancing and trimming class! (Her sidekick, too!) Despite the heat, she gave helpful demos on her own horses with different confirmation so we could thoroughly analyze their hooves. On top of that, we all had the opportunity to try trimming on our own which was such a great hands on opportunity for us! Grateful for her willingness and knowledge and for everyone who came out to join in!
