That's a wrap! This past weekend we closed out our 2025 competition season. Our season started on March 14th in New Jersey and continued through November 15th in Ohio and everywhere in between. We attended over 40 competitions with riders from leadline to FEI and covering multiple disciplines including dressage, eventing, jumpers, endurance, ctr, hunters, and other fun events.

A looooong over due story time is coming to catch everyone up on our summer and fall exploits as well as some commercial breaks for sales horses and holiday specials. For now, we are starting with thanks.

Thank you to our horses. You only ever wanted to hang out in your pastures with your buddies and yet you showed up every time we asked, from first time show riders to filly's first shows, from stepping up in levels to some of the hardest competition we've seen. Our horses are generous beyond belief, they are the foundation of Clarity Riding.

Thank you to all our farm friends and families for supporting us and all our riders. Hugs through triumphs and disappointments, early mornings, long drives, scheduling, cheering in all weather, last minute trips for needed supplies, and many cups of coffee all in pursuit of a $2 ribbon imbued with months of hard work and dreams. Regardless of if their riders compete our not, our farm families solidly support us all.

Thank you to Clarity's amazing teaching team and support staff. Whether on the road coaching, at home teaching and training, or keeping the farm running in absence of half the staff, our team consistently puts out an incredible level of effort and care for every horse and student. Coaching is easy when our riders and horses are so well prepared as we all celebrate successes and become part of student growth.

Thank you to the show and ride managers, organizations, judges, vets, volunteers, EMTs, venues, and the rest of the village that provide us opportunities to compete with our students and horses. Thank you to all of the Clarity riders and families who donated their time to volunteer for organizations and events. Thank you to ride photographers for spending long days in all weather to capture our special moments.

Thank you to Clarity's support team including Farmers Cooperative Association, Inc., ADM Animal Nutrition - Horse Feeds, Wolf Creek Equine Hospital, Rocky Start Farrier, Enhanced Equilibrium, and Equine Dental Solutions with Katie Herman. Our horses are our foundation, you are their foundation.

Finally, thank you to all Clarity Riding students whether you attended a competition, spectated, volunteered, or just cheered us on from the farm. You are so wonderful and integral. All our successes are shared, all our challenges are made lighter, and everyone is celebrated.

We have an impressive line-up of available horses at the moment!

Tucker's Flashy Fireball - 9yo Morgan gelding - successfully shown through I1 and schooling elements through GP. Fireball is ammy/junior friendly, easy keeper, barefoot, hacks, loads, does all the things. Clean PPE on file including rads. High 5 figures.

Back in Black - 8yo Hackney/Dutch cross - Moe is a loveable boy with lots of try. Moe has shown through Training dressage, drives, willing to fences, and ready to go find his very own person. Mid 4 figures, will increase with training.

Pardon My Shade - weanling Morgan filly - Pascha is a refined and polite filly with just the right amount of chrome. Movement and temperament would suit dressage, hunters, or show home. High 4 figures.

Dark and Shady - weanling Morgan/TB filly - Fig is solid, opinionated, engaging, and ready to take on the world. We expect her to finish upwards of 16 hands with the movement and drive to conquer cross-country or boldly go any distance. High 4 figures.

Goldenbelle G E S - 11yo Thoroughbred mare - Mango has been a great broodmare for us and she's ready to move on to her next adventure. Mango is a sweet mare with above average movement and correct conformation. She's green but willing under saddle w/t/c and small courses. She produces beautiful offspring and is sold open. High 4 figures, consideration given for a riding home as we always want our broodmares to have the best happily ever after.

Bar Nothing Otto - 8yo Morgan pony gelding - Sheriff has winning show records through Novice eventing, 1M jumpers, and 50mile endurance. Truly a versatile Morgan, uncomplicated ride, heart of gold. Low 5 figures

Please contact us for more information on any of these horses or to schedule a test ride.

🌟 Ride with Clarity – Official Launch of our virtual coaching and mentorship programs🌟

We are officially live!

✨ Ride with Clarity is born out of our passion for riding, teaching, and education — bringing together horsemanship, pedagogy, and the joy of sharing what we love, beyond the edges of our farm!

This is a space designed especially for youth and adult riders:

🐴 returning after years away
🐴 looking for confidence and clarity in their riding
🐴 ready to explore new ways of connecting with their horse — and themselves
🐴 wanting to enter — or take the next step — in a specific discipline

Our virtual workshops and sessions — like Mind Your Mind — combine technique, biomechanics, and mindset so you can ride with confidence, purpose, and joy. One-on-one personalized coaching sessions go beyond what you learn in the saddle, covering everything from “I need a coach to design, produce, and execute my freestyle” to “I just bought a horse and want to be prepared” — and so much more.

💻 Many of the well-known and ongoing workshops, clinics, and special sessions from Clarity Riding will now offer online cohorts, making it possible to join from anywhere.

Our calendar is continuously updated so you can always find the right time and live format for you.

👉 Visit our new virtual coaching website: ridewithclarity.com
👉 Share with friends who are ready to start (or re-start!) their riding journey.

Can’t get in the way of our sparkle. Finishing June strong, Clarity was Dressage Proud at CDI!

Elizabeth donned two hats, competing both Fireball and Ray as well as coaching our team riders. Performing at Fourth 2, she and Fireball earned a whopping 65.789% and won their class. Switching from her duet with Fireball in the advanced class, Elizabeth took Ray for his first outing at Training 1. Ray put on his big boy shoes and danced his way for a lovely fifth place pink ribbon. New teammate Michele hopped aboard superstar Briggs for a Training 1 test, earning a fabulous 65.192% for the blue ribbon! Alissa piloted Briggs down centerline in Training 2 for 2nd place in the class. Rounding out Training level, Liam and trusty Java had a fantastic test, first time out at Training 1 to earn a 62.885% and 3rd place. Instructor Jasmine, riding the enchanted Ophelia, made her official Clarity Team debut at First 1 with an impressive score of 65% and third place. Jasmine won a spirit award for her rainbow Pride look. The final performers of the Clarity Dance Company, Shannon and Harley, waltzed their way through their musical freestyle for a score of 60.528% and fifth place.

In addition to riding, Clarity’s Dressage Team managed the show, choosing the Dressage Proud theme to celebrate the end of Pride Month and raise funds for The Trevor Project. A big THANK YOU to everyone who made the CDI schooling show possible! Katie, Jesseanne, Rebecca, Kelsey, Laura, Colleen, Thomas, Liam, and Lainey were a fabulous show day crew! Thank you to Elizabeth and Jesseanne for ensuring the ring change went smoothly. Also, thank you to Laura, Elizabeth, Katie, Liam, Doug, Lenka and Ellie for helping with the ring setup on Saturday night. Thank you to Team Captain Shannon for keeping track of all of us!

The Clarity riders were absolutely fabulous during the show! These gals and guys characterized friendship and teamwork, from helping each other with whatever was needed, to cheering on teammates ringside, and ensuring the horses were as hydrated and cooled as possible. Finally, the six wonderful horses–Ray, Fireball, Briggs, Harley, Ophelia, and Java–were THE BEST behaved and best performing horses on an extremely hot and humid Sunday! Carrots for everyone!

It’s not too late to contribute to our Trevor Project fundraiser. We raised $253 so far, but the need is never ending! https://give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/6432472

Clarity homebreds Mic and Ray got to meet their idol Olympian Boyd Martin at the Promise Landing clinic. Hot weather couldn’t keep the boys down with Katie and Lauren riding. Boyd is a very approachable clinician – he’s got an easygoing and encouraging demeanor while being demanding of quality and not hesitating to send riders for a repeat until they could improve a sequence. Correct basics was the theme of the day with accessible exercises focusing on bend, balance, and transitions. Boyd gave insightful comments about small changes that riders could make for big improvement and was particularly encouraging to the young riders in the group and to a few riders who had spicier, challenging rides

Thanks to Boyd for the opportunity to learn and Promise Landing Farm for hosting.

Blue for Tucker’s Flashy Fireball at the PVDA Summer Show! Fireball and Elizabeth won the Prix St Georges on Saturday with 63.676%.

Back on Sunday, Elizabeth rode Sanctify BEC for his first licensed show at First 1. Despite a ring move, big show environment, and hot weather, Sanctify was very good, keeping his famous calm and happy demeanor from warm up all the way down the final centerline. Fireball came along for Sunday taking another trip down centerline at Intermediate 1.

Thank you to owners Jesseanne Norton and Marija Trieschman for sharing your amazing horses! Thank you to PVDA volunteers for keeping our ‘home show’ going.

Old Dominion weekend, the most fun you’ll have with rocks in June!

Clarity had a great group for our annual inspection of the rocks in Orkney Springs, Virginia. We started out Friday with Taxi and Jesseanne heading out for the 55-mile ride. Next up, three Clarity riders plus honorary Clarity Feral Junior Dodie Sable for the LD. Dodie kindly mentored Magnolia and loaned super pony Willow for the ride. Joining Dodie and Magnolia for the 25-mile ride were GAIT rescue duo Delilah and Christa with Jessica and Olivia riding.

Coach Elizabeth was on crew duty for Friday’s ride and the team made her hustle! After starting Jesseanne and then the LD crew, Elizabeth hurried up to the Bird Haven away vet hold just in time to catch Jesseanne coming in. After feeding and electrolyting both parties, Elizabeth sent them back out on trail and enjoyed a short break before Dodie and Magnolia came in at the head of the LD pack. Two more horses cooled and through vet check, two more riders fed and watered. Just as Bee and Willow were getting tacked back up, Jessica and Olivia came into hold with one less shoe than they had at the start! We vetted the horses through, stopped in at farrier Jen Smith, and then got our last to LD riders back out on trail heading home.

At this point, the weather has taken a turn for the hot and humid so Elizabeth headed out to buy ice to take to finish. Arriving back at camp in time to see Dodie and Magnolia heading down the road to finish line, Elizabeth put on the hustle to fill waters with ice and get Willow and Bee pulsed down. The effort was worth it as the pair tied for 4th place! No sooner were those two mares tucked back in their paddock, then Elizabeth caught sight of our other two mares coming into finish! Running (yes literally) back up to finish hauling ice, Elizabeth met up with Jessica and Olivia to get the GAIT girls cooled and pulsed. The ice was well worth it as the hot afternoon sun worked against us. After a group effort, we got the mares settled for 25th and 26th placings with good vet cards at completion.

Elizabeth was just getting ready to run back to Bird Haven to catch Jesseanne and Taxi at their last hold, when the pair showed up back at base camp! Turns out Taxi’s method of rock inspection was a little too ‘hooves on’ and they pulled at Laurel Run for minor lameness after losing a shoe. Lucky for Jesseanne, 95% of the rocks at OD 55 are before Laurel Run so she didn’t miss out on anything.

Saturday Clarity horses and riders were at it again in the Ride and Tie competition. Olivia teamed up with Ride and Tie legends Janice Heltibridle and her horse Bobby to run/ride the 20-mile Ride and Tie coming in second place with a remarkably perky Olivia after 25 miles of riding and 20 miles of ride and tie in 48 hours. Christa teamed up with juniors Elle and Andrew for all their first Equathon. Elle rode Christa 12 miles and then Andrew ran the second 6-mile leg for a team First Place!

Our Clarity Team volunteers were above and beyond for this year’s OD ride. Team Dad Douglas was on gate guard and parking duty at Bird Haven the whole weekend. Intern Colleen is now an expert timer after two days of timing at Bird Haven and Bucktail. After running around like a crazy person on Friday, Elizabeth enjoyed a quiet day of ambulance driving and pulsing at Bird Haven on Saturday. Skylar was awesome crew for the crewless both days at Lauren Run, joined by Jessica, Jesseanne and Magnolia on Saturday. Katherine helped crewless riders at Bird Haven one day and Laurel Run the next. Mariya last minute voluntold herself into two days of vet-scribing and we don’t think the vets are giving her back. Jazmin also stepped up to scribe this year and learned a ton!

A huge thank you to OD management, vets, and army of volunteers for hosting. Thank you to Dodie for your generous loan of Willow and mentorship of Magnolia. Thank you to our Clarity teammates for crewing and volunteering. Thank you to Jen Smith for saving the day with your farrier skills! Thanks to ADM and FCA for fueling our horses through some of the most grueling miles on the east coast.
