What a fun event!!!!
This was Sky Farm on the way to line up 🙂
The weather was perfect and the animals and people did an amazing job.
The reality of a horse show… behind the scenes action…
“Peanut” and Abby are enjoying the new wash stall!!!!
Despite the 🌧️ ☔️ rain on Saturday (6/29/24) and a 7:26 am ride time to boot… “Lilly” and Jillian put in a good effort at Larkin Hill Horse Trials.
As you can see they had 🤩 fun!
Congratulations to Michael… he was XC judge #4!!!
New York Adventure 5 26, 2024
The ride was beautiful, well marked, and a great adventure! Some fun was had but overall a challenging day! It was a good reminder that we should always expect the unexpected! Our original thought was that the ladies would out run “Sonic” and he would retire half way. This is what we prepared for and planned on. However, this is what actually happened 🙂
“May” was pulled after 20 miles due to what we presume was a stone bruise. We think we know exactly where she did it! She is in a good mood and seems sound now. She was strong on the trail and had a blast. “Lilly” was super happy to have her pasture pal with her so she was a bit distracted. In addition to that distraction, a handful of horses got loose at camp in the middle of the night. This caused her to eat less than she should have and so she ran out of fuel about 5 miles from the halfway hold/vet check. The first half was long at approximately 20 miles. She got some lactic acid build up behind, got tight, and was also pulled at 20 miles. She also is fine and was trotting up her hill last night. “Sonic” finished 9th but brought his stallion show off attitude with him and acted a bit like he was untrained 🙂 He was very upset to ride without friends the second half but he did it! He was very strong and healthy overall!
Thank you to Logan and Tori for coming along to crew. We couldn’t have done it without help. We really appreciate the support.
World Horse Expo- Sonic
We knew “Sonic” would probably be a bit nervous to be in front of such a large crowd… but when he got the opportunity to participate in the Morgan Horse Demo we didn’t hesitate…. He is half Morgan after all. As many of you know he is shy with new people so what a unique experience for him and a great confidence builder. This was his first time in a setting like this and he handled it. Plus, this was particularly difficult because he was stabled next to mares (show secretary choice not ours…) so just leaving them behind at the stable was a hard ask (:
“Lilly” and Jillian
World Horse Expo, Harrisburg, PA 3/2/2024. The pair participated in the Don Schramm clinic (demo rider). The clinic was on grid work for jumping with focus on stride and technique.
Snow day!
“May” and “Lilly” were very excited that it snowed!!!!
The oldies and Wave were feeling frisky two days ago! Look at “Peanut” leading the charge lol
Guess they were happy to be without jackets 🙂
Can you tell by all the mud?
