July farm recap 💙

07/24/2024

With the sad news of a local staple in the horse community closing their doors, we have received an influx in inquiries about board. We will be able to open our doors to a couple of new clients that are the right fit. Here is some quick facts about our farm and program.

☀️ true 24/7 hay, full size bale bags in stalls with round bales fed in slow feed nets/feeders outside.

☀️ group turnout, during the good weather and footing most of our horses come in for breakfast and dinner but are out otherwise. In the poor weather months they are still out for 12 hours a day.

☀️ dry lot available

☀️ boarders must participate in either...
🌻 lessons
🌻 training
🌻 working off board around the farm

We are a mostly adult barn with a quiet, more private type setting. The lesson and training program is grounded in the principles of classical dressage for the overall mental and physical well being for all horses. Young/green/problem horses are my speciality. While our program is built around the classical training pyramid it is applied to all disciplines! No need to be showing, but we do travel to all sorts of events. The majority of us are also avid trail riders!

If this sounds like a fit feel free to send us a message or reach out to Val at 585-402-6328.

Blanket wash & repair customers....

A bunch of invoices going out today and tomorrow. I got a little behind and am working hard to catch up. Fear not, all your stuff will be back with plenty of time before inclement weather! I appreciate the patience as I run the farm and laundry myself. ☀️

We are currently looking to open a stall for someone needing to work off partial or even full board. Work days and schedule are very flexible, looking for this to be a mutually beneficial relationship with flexibilty on both ends. Our farm is set up to be very efficient and we have incredibly well mannered easy to deal with horses. This is a quiet, more private like barn setting filled with like minded adults.

Lessons and training available, plenty of opportunities for off property adventures and showing. Our program uses classical dressage principles to help horses and riders of all disciplines.

Please text Val at 585-402-6328 if this sounds like like something you would be interested in.

In April I took Mira to a clinic with Nahshon Cook Horsemanship . While introducing ourselves I started to tell him Miras story, he stopped me and said "will this affect what we do today" I said yes and continued, he immediately stopped me and asked again... after a few second of staring blankly and digging deep I realized it didn't. To be honest the conversation we had that day completely changed my entire mindset. In the end it came down to a few things.

1. If what you are doing is working, then it doesn't matter if it is different than what everyone else is doing. Trust your process.

2. Things that happened in the past, mostly do not change how we progress going forward.

3. Most people are not ready to "hear" certain things and the right people will always find you.

The old me would have shared videos I've taken over the last 18 months so everyone realized how much this ride last night meant and how much we had accomplished. Those things are no longer for everyone.

While last night it was just a schooling show, I felt like we won a gold medal at the Olympics. It wasn't about a score, it didnt even have to be about a competition. It was that my horse was happy, calm, confident and trusting enough in our relationship that when I told her it was OK, she said lets go. I've been protective of taking her out "in public" because I wanted to make sure we didn't lose everything I had worked so hard for.

I'm so grateful to the small group that knows it all, and has cheered us on from day 1. I think we all felt emotional to see it all come together. You guys are the best. WE FREAKING DID IT!!!

Another wonderful day at the Western Dressage of Twin Tiers Classic Horse Show Series for Val and Just Hold On. It was a day full of fantastic and inspiring rides. Our goals were consistent, relaxed and confident tests. I think we absolutely nailed that! Our highest score of 67.25% was good enough for a reserve champion ribbon!

One of the things that drew me to western dressage was the emphasizes on partnership with your horse. Everyone knows how special Aspen is to me and today on every test we got a 7.5 on our collective marks for harmony. I am more proud of that than anything 💙

Thank you to Ty for always being so supportive of my goals and being our #1 cheer leader.

Thank you to Chad Basile Dressage for always pushing me to be better while also keeping us grounded in the beauty of true classical dressage. Few horsemen posses the integrity that you do, and it show in every horse you touch 💙 Your unwavering support threw all my quirky horses and wild ideas like western, bitless dressage is so appreciated.

And thank you to everyone who puts on this series. It is the most fun I've had showing in my life. Quality judges, friendly staff and such a cool mix of people and horses all supporting one another.

Now we add activity and energy 😆

Happy 6.6 day !!!!!!!

Just Hold On aka Aspen made her WDAA recognized dressage debut (her 3rd show ever) this weekend at Western Dressage of Twin Tiers Classic Horse Show Series . The show was run so smooth, it was incredibly welcoming and the grounds are SO horse and competitor friendly. She was very quiet, relaxed and in tune with me the whole trip. I could not have asked for a better experience for her.

The icing on the cake was a very respectable 64.5 that was good enough for a 2nd out of 5!! So excited for her future, and now I have a good grasp on our training and show plans for the rest of the season 💙 Such an experience starting and developing your own soul horse, especially in a discipline and equipment completely new to you 🥰

Prime riding weather is here and we have some horses available for lease!! Adult barn with a quiet, encouraging atmosphere. Showing options and lots of on and off property trail riding all year.

1. Hippo, 12 year old appendix mare. Advanced beginner and up. Safe, Safe, safe in the ring or trail. Has buttons to be fun for more advanced riders or will happily be-bop around for a relaxing ride. 1/4 lease only (1 lesson, 1 ride a week)

2. Reno, 15 year old Thoroughbred gelding. Reno is just an absolute pleasure to be around and ride. Big, goofy personality and LOVES his job! Also enjoys trail riding, hunter paces, fantastic at the shows. Was shown hunters most of his career and has been working on dressage. He does need a rider with quiet soft hands, but once you get him he's just a blast to ride and be around. Full/half/quarter leases available.

3. Zeus, 10 year old 17hh Thoroughbred gelding. This horse is absolutely stunning with an incredible personality to match. At home he is a super solid ride but can be quirky off property. He has been on the back burner since late last summer and has been out of work. He deserves more 1on1 time and a job again, he has a fantastic work ethic. He is a very large horse and needs a quiet yet firm and confident rider. Zeuss training has been dressage focused but he's played over jumps (and LOVED it) and also trail ridden/hunter paced. I think his personality would probably mesh well with an eventer type and that he may enjoy that job a ton. I am open to some creative options for him. Including very low cost on property lease for someone to help bring him back into work. I would also consider a long term off property lease as well to the right program, may consider sale if he found a great partner threw a lease.

Message the page for more details or contact Val at 585-402-6328. Text is best!

Today we celebrated Hippos 12th birthday! She wasn't too sure about the cupcake but enjoyed plenty of other treats 🥰

05/12/2024

A bunch of cuties enjoying their first day weaning onto grass 🥰

Some of the girls snuck by Ty and got into the very back pasture and stood in the middle of the knee deep "pond" 🙃 I think they enjoyed making him get soaked to get them out 😆

05/11/2024

It was such a great week of riding and teaching! Lots of awesome work with our own Reno & Hippo who both have been focused on strengthening. Their riders have been focused on helping them do biomechanically correct work to keep their bodies feeling good and moving the best they have!

I also was invited to spend time out in Scottsville teaching with some really nice rides and progress! Grateful for everyone who trusts me to be a part of their horses life's 🥰

05/07/2024

Today is always a strange day for me, important for both geldings who have made such a tremendous impact on my life.

Today is Renos 15th birthday, where the heck have the years gone. Reno gave me back the passion for the sport, he is an absolute cornerstone of the farm now. He's the horse you go to when you need a laugh, a solid ride and a reminder why we do way we do. Happy birthday you big idiot you are loved by so many 💙 I look forward to you breaking the world record for oldest horse so you can torment and love me for dang near an eternity 😆

It's also 4 years since I had to say goodbye to Vegas. The most handsome horse I've ever laid my eyes on. I miss you and all of our adventures 🩷

05/03/2024

Days like today make me love my job. A perfect day for sales horse Hope to have her first off property experience and go for a trail ride and Mendon! We also got Amelia to conquer her fears and hit the trails.

Hope was absolutely perfect. Hoped on the trailer, stood tied, met other horses on the trail and even had an incredibly brave encounter when a man on a bicycle came flying around a blind corner at us! Bikes are definitely not allowed on trails there but the girls handled it so well and it was a great opportunity for her! What a fantastic day!

04/28/2024

A big welcome to the handsome Fleet Irish aka Charlie and his mom Heather! So excited to have you both here and I can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish 🥰

04/26/2024

I've been wanting to do a time-lapse video when I do shoes on the girls for fun... I finally remembered halfway threw Mira 🙃

Ever since the Versa Grip Octos by EasyCare Inc. Protective Hoofwear came out last year, my horses have been in them. They are an absolute GAME changer, allowing natural hoof movement with extraordinary protection.

See the comments for the special colors they got for show season 😉

5 years ago we moved into the farm. It feels like forever and yesterday all at the same time. A never ending project, but you can't put a price on the soul filling feeling that it gives us. Thankful for all the special people and horses who have been a part of this, we are extra lucky that many of you have been with us pretty much from the start ❤️

Enjoy a few before and afters from our time here! Can't wait for another 5 years 🥰

I hope your trainer doesn't give you what you want.

I DO hope your trainer gives you what you need, more importantly...what your horse needs.

There will always be someone willing to do it faster and flashier. There will always be someone willing to get you into the show ring on your time line instead of your horses. There will always be someone who will tell you only the things you want to hear. For the right price, there will always be someone.

I don't want that kind of someone...not for me and not for you all either.

So, choose your someone carefully.

Choose someone who values their process enough that they can't be swayed from it by demands and dollars. They know where they've been, where they're going and all of the things they've learned between. They put your horse first and show you the value in work that is centered around what the horse needs. They are your biggest supporter while remaining honest and realistic about what it takes to achieve your goals. The only promise they make, is that your horse will get better...and you will too. You pay them but at the same time, who they are at their core can't be bought. They live their truth each day, honest and humble.

That type of someone is priceless...

The first photo of Aspen popped up in my memories from 2 years ago today.... It's crazy to look back and see how much she has changed 🥰

03/06/2024

The horses all enjoyed 2 days of warm sunshine 🌞 so many naps were taken 😆

03/05/2024

Last May I saw an ad for an adorable chestnut looking for a year care lease, it was perfect timing and I jumped at the opportunity. Hippo has helped me build my program to what it is today.

Today I'm excited to announce she is officially a Black Smoke forever resident ❤️ we love you Hippo lady, looking forward to many years of fun!
