So much fun at the Halloween party at Whalen Equestrian Center tonight! Thanks again to Deidre Whalen and TJ Whalen for always putting on an amazing party.
Versace enjoyed her time as Barbie and Stymie enjoyed his time eating dinner and not having to dress up. 🤣
Thanks Lindsy Garner for all of your help with Versace’s stall! You guys killed it.

You mean…. That thing has to go on my back?
😂

Ellie has officially made it in for training!
Gonna give her 48 hours to settle in and we shall get to work on Sunday.
I am so genuinely excited to see what this mare is capable of and how she will grow under saddle.
Maybe it won’t just be her babies in the show pen in the future…. ♥️

07/12/2022

Sheeeeeesh 🔥 I think everyone needs to be on the lookout for these two in the show ring next year.
This red headed duo is killing it in lessons and improving weekly. When ya put the work in, ya get the results.

Hannah Lang and Reba are coming along so nicely. So proud of this team.

07/09/2022

Thank you to all my students for braving the heat with me today. ♥️ y’all are troopers and your commitment is admirable.

So excited to welcome Glitter N Elegance aka “Ellie” to the team.
She’s coming for 30-60 days for training with me on July 15th for either a refresher under saddle or to be started under saddle.
She was previously used as a broodmare, producing multiple World Champion offspring.
(Two of her babies pictured below)
She is a KidClu baby, and anyone who knows me, knows I love those KidClu babies.

I am so excited to see how this mare progresses while she’s with me!

Stymie came out of retirement today to help two little kiddos learn the basics of horse care and riding. ♥️

Of course everyone paid the Stymie Tax which is lots of treats. 😂

Gettin that b***y right for summer. 🍑✨

Happy Easter from Versace, Stymie and me!

Versace says : “Where’s my Easter basket, punk?!”

Also remember, rabbits are not gifts- they are 6-10 year commitments. And Lily plants are toxic to cats, even the stems/pollen.

♥️ hope you all have a safe holiday.

This is important- Patience is key.
Most horses need more than 30 days to be started, you pay for what you get.

In just three weeks we’re already seeing a major improvement in Reba’s muscle structure 🍑. So happy with how this team is coming along and all of their hard work between lessons. Can’t wait to see the progression to come. Major shout out to my client Hannah Lang for putting the work in. 💪🏻

*Edit: also to be clear we are not working on getting her fit for halter, we are just looking to get a healthy amount of muscle on the horse so she can properly support herself*

"HOT" TIPS FOR SAFE SUMMER RIDING

As you prepare for fun in the sun with your favorite equine, make sure you understand how the combination of heat and humidity can take the fun part out the equation — and potentially even turn into a dangerous situation for your horse.

When riding in hot weather, remember to take precautions and use your common sense. Remain vigilant for dehydration and for signs of heat exhaustion, as the situation can quickly escalate into heat stroke. If your horse looks hot and tired, it's time for a drink, a cold bath and a break in the shade.

Consult your veterinarian for more information, or learn more about the signs of heat stroke on our website at https://aaep.org/issue/heat-stroke

Lemme tell ya, they don’t make em like this mare. She impresses me every single day. Excited to get her in some classes under saddle this show season. ☺️

It’s all about your PASSION!!!
