Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in our annual End of Summer Fun Show here at Rosewood Stables. It was all fun and games! Thank you to Greg and Kristin Smith for their inflatable waterslide donation. The kids (and adults) really enjoyed it!! #horseriding #fyp #horsesofinstagram #horsebackriding #horse #showjumpersofinstagram #fypageシ #pony #showjump #jump #eventer
We had a fun filled day at Fair Hill International this past weekend at their last Horse Trials of the season. -Destiny and Leela placed fifth in Leela’s first beginner novice! This mare is super green and is going to be something special. -Ashley and Annie put in a beautiful dressage test and placed 4th with a clear showjump and clear XC. -Natalia and Baby continue to impress with a great dressage test, clear showjump and a clear XC and placing 5th in their second time showing Starter division. -Ari and Rusty flew around the cross country for a 6th place finish in the elementary division. -Rachel and Red had some miscommunications on XC and finished outside of the ribbons. -Cheyanne and Mesa performed their best dressage yet. They both continue to improve each and every time they go out. #fyp #dressage #eventing #crosscountry #horseriding

I love this pony! Beans is the best. Thanks Alycia for being the perfect pony pilot!
A little XC schooling before the upcoming show weekend. #horseriding #eventing #crosscountry #fyp #horsesofinstagram #horseriding
Back in May we had the amazingly talented Grand Prix rider and USDF Gold medalist Sue Gallagher come to Rosewood Stables and give a dressage clinic. We had riders from beginner to intermediate join in on the fun. Many achievements were made and so many lessons learned to take these students on to the next level of their dressage journey. A big thanks to Sue Gallagher for her time and commitment to this wonderful sport of dressage and for sharing her expertise with us! #fyp #horse #dressage #dressagerider #dressageclinic @

Sprout doing what he does best…Looking cute! 👀😍#fyp #pony #painthorse #cute #cutepony #horsesofinstagram #horseriding #fypageシ
Meet Velma! We have been super inconsistent with her between show season in full swing and the heat, and this is her 10th ride with one of our students, Cheyanne. She is going to be such a sweet and quiet girl 😍 #fyp #horsesofinstagram #horse #horsepower #horsetrainerlife #painthorse
Super fun pony mare available for on-site half or full lease. Come join our team! RWS Beanboozled is a fun mare who has miles through elementary and has schooled through Starter and Beginner Novice. She has a fun and easy trot and canter and would be perfect for a rider who is looking to get some miles out eventing this season!
Meet Hendrix! He was brought in to be started under saddle. With a few weeks under his belt he experienced his first trail ride and even “dipped his toes in the water”! #fyp #horse #trailride #swimming #horsesofinstagram #standardbred
Last weekend we competed at Fair Hill International. Everyone had a great time! So proud of these girls and all their hard work. #fyp #horse #eventing #eventer #showjump #jump
Extremely late on the update but Fair Hill was a success for our RWS riders!
5th place finish for Alycia and Devil
5th place finish for Rachel and Red
3rd place finish for Cheyenne and Mesa
And while Sprout and Chey had an unfortunate parting of ways out on XC, I couldn’t be prouder of this little pony in his first big show environment scoring a 35 in dressage and sitting in second. ❤️
Cantering into the weekend like…🔥🐎
This video is pretty boring, it’s also pretty important. I was just beginning my ride on Fire, it was time for pm feeding and horses were stirred up in the fields outside waiting to come in, some in the barn making it known they were ready to be turned out, strong wind and some rain making noise on the walls of the indoor arena, all together a lot of commotion going on. Instead of getting right to work, i just let Fire stand still and take it all in. Not in a way that he was frozen with fear but in a way that he could just stand and process what was happening around him. Allowing your horse to stand still, listen to and see what’s happening around them is something that I think is so important in the process of making a good partner. There is a time to get on and start working quickly, of course, but one of my biggest goals with any horse is to make them feel safe and comfortable in my presence and the presence of humans in general. Giving them time to think, observing how they are feeling and how they are processing information that day goes a long way in creating a willing equine partner. Horses are not robots and personally, I like to know how a 1000lb + animal is feeling before starting a ride.

Second show of the year in the books!
Everyone had a fun and educational night!—
Cheyenne and Mesa came out strong and finished with a blue clear round ribbon in the clear round Blue/Red class, a second, and a fourth.
Natalia and Baby rocked around with a blue clear round ribbon and two thirds.
Ashley and Mulela had two blue clear round ribbons, and a first place.
Alycia piloted Rusty around for his first ever show and gave him a great experience. He was super off property and we were very happy with his can-do attitude. He got a blue clear round ribbon and a fifth.
Talia ended the night with a clear round ribbon and two first place finishes.
Can’t wait for the last jumper show in two weeks!
Sprout is such a good noodle—He is turning into a perfect little pony ❤️ Here is 10 year old Ari on him for a lesson!
Dante is here to be started under saddle and he thinks that we make him a little loco 😂. He is an Andalusian gelding owned by Daniel Zambrano and Anthony Buckmaster.
