Ever wonder how I decide when it’s too hot to have lessons? There is actual science behind my decision making! Here is the formula horse people use to decide when it’s “too hot” to ride
Training. Coaching/ lessons. Horsemanship. Hunter/Jumper. Boarding. Sarah loves to share her passion and love of all things equestrian with riders young and old.

Our goal here is to create a family friendly team atmosphere with elite training opportunities. Showing is an option but not required nor will a rider be pressured to do so. Riding, like life is all about balance. You cannot expect your horse to be balanced if you are not balanced.

Support, encouragement, motivation, tips, education for Dressage Amateurs.
We will be watching the heat this week…. Stay tuned for updates…
It was a LOOOOOONG 🥵 day at Gettysburg Riding Club but these girls rode really well. Ribbons don’t always reflect our successes but that’s ok because we conquered some milestones today! Great job and thank you to our families and team of support that makes these days happen🥰. Blue & Gray Horse Shows LLC

WSF welcomes little Stella (by DRF Technicolor) to the herd. We are excited to see how this very sweet little mare grows and develops
Rant warning…. And sad that this will even be a “controversial” topic 🙄
Why are we still subjecting young horses, especially warmbloods (which we know to be slow growing), to the stress of being ridden (no, not just sat on) before they’re even three years old?
It’s time to ask ourselves: Have we not learned anything? Why are we in such a rush to push these animals beyond their limits? Let’s prioritize their well-being and LONG TERM HEALTH over our own impatience.
BY PONYMOMAMMY I am firmly in the camp of never blaming the horse/pony when things go wrong. This concept has been engrained in me since I first put a foot in the stirrup, and I hold strong to that belief today. Sometimes I wonder if this mentality is universal for all equestrians, and if it […]
The Equipod has really helped me with desensitizing horses to clippers. Cricket was having a treatment while I was clipping her and for the first time ever, she let me clip her face❤️

While horses do react situationally to stressors, if you find your horse suddenly stressed for no apparent reason, or seemingly chronically stressed, then it’s important to look at the underlying cause. Most often: pain. At MyEUSA, we believe whole-heartedly in the EquiPod Therapy System. The Nuro...
What a great way to start the show season at the Central Maryland Classic Horse Show hosted by Dover Saddlery - Crofton. I know I say it often that I’m proud of my riders but every ride / show it gets better and better. These young horsewomen keep pushing and challenging themselves and succeed at every turn! Congratulations to everyone today! Huge thank you to our families, farriers, vets, and bodywork specialists who help keep our horses in optimum shape so these riders can grow! ❤️
Glad someone enjoyed that monsoon… .henry

Lucy (JC: Demon Tree)
May 4, 1995- April 2, 2024
Today, we said goodbye to the kindest soul to ever grace this farm. Lucy came to us after an extensive and successful career as a 3’6 hunter and embraced her new career as a lesson horse. Despite being a bit over 16 hands, she instilled confidence in so many riders learning the fundamentals. She was not your typical chestnut thoroughbred mare. She was the gentlest and kindest earning her wings long before her time. Heaven gained another angel today. May you run free with Seymore and your other friends in meadows of the sweetest grasses. We love and miss you Lucy. We were blessed to have you with us.

Thank you to Fairwinds Equestrian Center for allowing us to visit you and use your lovely indoor. I taught two lessons today focusing on balancing our turns and lead changes. For one of our riders, this exercise was completely new to them and ver intimidating. The solid encouragement from her peers cheering her on and supporting her through it warmed my heart in a way that I cannot put into words. It was truly awesome to watch my team (that’s right- team) support and encourage each other. Equestrian sports are often considered individual sports (yes it is a team effort between horse and rider) and I’ve seen so many barns where the competition is cut throat. I set out to build a program that creates a community of team members who genuinely want their peers to succeed. So cool. #wildspringsfarm #drivinmissdaisey #hunterjumper #carrollcountytack #dreamsdocometrue #chincoteaguepony #happiness #marylandequestrian
