It has certainly been a summer of change! For good and bad, full of growth and persistence!

If you love them, send them out into the world to fly!πŸ₯ΉπŸ’œ

Today we sent Genevieve Busch (Evie) off to William Woods University to study Equine Science!

This girl has been such a hard worker all year long, she's grown so much in her riding and as a person. She's been with us through some difficult times this summer and she's taken on a ton of responsibilities at the barn. I can't wait to see what she learns and how much she grows as a person and a rider over the next four years.

Evie and Bailey had a perfect afternoon together and one last trail ride! I love these girls and I know they will miss each other a ton!!πŸ₯Ή

We can't wait for you to come visit us on breaks and share with us all you learn.
Good Luck girl! You are a great person, a great rider, and one tough chick! You got this girl!!πŸ’œπŸ₯Ή

Snickers 1st Classes!!!
I couldn't be more proud of these 2!!! Bailey took her young man Snickers in his first classes today at the Prince William Horse Association Western Show!!!!
I'm so pleased, no meltdowns, he listened to her, and did everything that was asked of him in all 3 classes, even getting a 3rd in the last one!!!
Bailey did so well keeping him out of traffic, managing his baby brain, and getting him through his very first show ring appearance!!
So proud of these two!!πŸ‘πŸ’œ

What does the barn do when their horse show gets canceled??
We make our own FUN SHOW!!!!!
We had fun ribbions, thanks Amanda!, we had a "pair" of barrel racers, our own cheering section, all the horses got pampered, and a hilarious Hobby Horse competition that I wish I had pictures of, but I got roped into that tooπŸ€£πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ
The barn needed a fun day after the last 2 weeks, and it warmed my heart to see so many smiles today!πŸ’œπŸ₯Ή

Bailey and I took the 2 young ones out for a trail ride.πŸ’œ
It was so nice and peaceful, it's been one week since tragedy took one of our dearest barn members from us too soon. We've taken it easy this week. And I am floored at the kindness from our barn family, friends and customers.
Everyone pulls together when its needed. I have a great supportive community.

It's been a hard last couple of days. For all of us at the barn.
The girls wanted to go to the Silver Star Farm LLC show because Kendra Barrett wouldn't have wanted them to miss it, she was one of their biggest fans and my 2nd in command at most horse shows.
Her favorite color was purple, so the girls wore purple in honor of her.
They did their classes for her, and did some of the best showing they've done, Champion and Reserve respectively in their division. I couldn't be more proud of the work they've done to achieve this, and the heart, soul, kindness, empathy and compassion these girls have show me and each other since tragedy took one of our dearest friends too soon, I have a good group of students and I'm so proud of themπŸ’œ

We had a tragedy strike one of our dearest barn families, one of my best and closest friends, please have patience with us at this time as we regroup and heal, and I will probably need some barn family volunteers to hold down the fort in the coming days while I help the family attend to things. I appreciate everyone's patience, understanding and kind words at this time.
Thank you.πŸ’”

What are you gonna learn today?

How much weight can a horse carry?

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can’t carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babies before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.

They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.

It's like that! Come join us!! I promise the barn will only take over your life a little!🀣🀣
