A little late posting from our last Glowing C series show of the year. Gracie blew it out of the water with a 16.7. She lost a stirrup around her first but didn’t quit riding, lost the other around the second and absolutely crushed her third turn with no stirrups! A year ago.. well even 6 months ago, If she would have lost a stirrup she would have pulled up. I am so stinking proud of the rider she has become. Incredible seat and hands, fearless, and just as humble.

Headed to the Mega next weekend and I am so excited to see her continue to shine!!

She won the 12u 2D with this run and left her second in the 12u 3D for the series. Next year she’s gunning for that buckle!!!

The group yesterday showed up and showed out yesterday!!

Gracie and Berti had their best run yet with no exhibitions. They are chasing a peewee buckle and oh so close!!!

Ashley braved riding her dragon around the grounds to teach her that outings can be ok and she doesnt have to have so much anxiety. Cant wait to see them go around the barrels!!

Malancy and Biggs are looking like one heck of a team! Biggs spent spring of 2024 with me , had a year off to grow and has really come into himself!! He retained what was taught to him and now him and his momma are becoming quite the pair.

Mady and Storm… goodness there are not enough words for the emotions I feel seeing them finally step back into the barrel pen. 8 months of stall rest and a few set backs along the way, the last year has been a rough one, but this mare is coming back so strong.
Mady has done a phenomenal job rehabbing her and they are gonna be ones to watch out for!!! I cannot wait to see them full send down the alley.

Moe decided that he wasn’t sure about the ground for some reason and safetied up in his run. I cannot ask for a more safe horse to run down the alley. He had proven time and time again he’ll take care of me.

Bug and I are still not synching after all our time off, but I’m determined to get him there by the time the Mega rolls around in November.

Thank you to all my parents and support systems for these ladies and their horses. Our care professionals and our sponsors play a huge roll!!! Here’s to a fun and productive fall and winter!!

At Faith Over Fear Performance horses, we strive to create fun consistent horses. Moe is a true testament of consistency. This boy will run the same pattern every time and takes all the anxiety of making a run. 2 months Post Partum can take a toll mentally, but this boy gives me confidence.

Let me help you and your horse get that consistency and confidence!!

We place great value on maintaining relationships with horses that have completed our program and returned home to continue their education with their owners.

If your horse is currently enrolled in our training program, you can be assured that support will be available after your departure.

Ella and Lisa are exemplary models of the success of our long-term training horses. Initially, Ella presented with significant PTSD, which made it challenging for her to remain calm during rides. We worked tirelessly to develop strategies to calm her down and demonstrate that working with us is more enjoyable than attempting to flee.

Despite my recent five-week absence due to illness, they have demonstrated remarkable progress, surpassing expectations. I am extremely proud of Lisa's growth as a skilled rider and her strong partnership with Ella. I received a phone call a week ago regarding Ella having a meltdown after a cat jumped at her in the crossties and scared her. I was able to provide Lisa with the necessary tools over the phone to help Ella regain composure, and they had a successful ride afterward. This is a testament to the importance of establishing a proper foundation and teaching horses to work through their problems and think critically.

Dottie also approves of Ella and her affectionate breath.

Gracie is a great example of what I strive for my students. She’s been on Moe one time before this run and made a beautiful run. I teach feel, muscle memory, and trusting the horse to do its job.

Gracie has been riding with me for a year and has an extremely bright future with any horse she swings a leg over. Look forward to where you and Berti go!!!

Happy Monday!

As most of you know, 2 months ago I had my sweet daughter Dorothy. Lessons and training has been chaotic, but we have figured out a routine and are ready to jump back in full swing.

I have a few openings for lessons on my horses and even more openings for those who have their own horse.

Also note, Im traveling to Clarksville every other week and could add some stops up that way.

Reach out for availability! Look forward to helping you and your horse!!!
