We love the growth mindset especially when working with horses, who we know can be unpredictable and have BIG feelings. Remember, riding is a TEAM sport and some days it's hard for both horse and rider to show up equally. So take the small wins and trust the rest will come in due time!

Huge shoutout and congrats to Becky and her shire, Star Seeker, lovingly known as Orion in the barn. These two have worked day in and day out over the past few months to prepare for their show season and their confidence shined through all weekend. They had a great round and loads of laughs and came out feeling confident and excited for the 2024 season.

It's really wonderful to watch these two figure each other out and grow as a team.

Here at Where To Farm, we like to prepare horses for the longevity of their careers by instilling confidence and fun for both horse and rider. Although a bit slower to start, a proper foundation can help both horse and rider in the long run. Progress, not perfection.

"And in the middle of my chaos, there was you."

Shine had a quality first outing of the year at Paul Frazer. He's come such a long way in such a short time. He was brave, confident, and jumping boldly. Excited to see what the rest of the season brings.

SKIPALONG

Skipalong is a 2016, 15.3 hand mare by Include out of Skipstone. She has been barefoot on the farm and has no vices and currently lives outside. She had her last foal in 2022 and was last bred on 5/30/23 making her eligible for the RRP Broodmare Division in 2024!

This girl has great feet and a great topline for sitting outside all summer ! Owner has had her for the past couple of years and wants quick uncomplicated sale as he is starting to get out of the business, but would love to see her go to a sporthorse home and get to cheer her on at the makeover or in her second career. She has not been restarted yet.

Located just outside Lexington, Kentucky and available to be shown by appointment. 4500.

Golden Hour (Shine): the period of the day just before the sun sets or after it rises.

The best thing about a sunset and a sunrise is that it means a new day. A day to start over, to reset, to refresh, a day to be someone new or try something new, a day to start new habits and break old. Really, it's just a beautiful time to reflect and be grateful..

When I first met Shine, he was beautiful. He floated across the arena and even after a few years off he showed patience, understanding and Grace. He was said to be someones "heart horse" and I was lucky enough to sit on him and start teaching his mom.

After one misstep and a misunderstanding on the way to the paddock, he was discarded, he was beaten, and by the time I got him he was both mentally and physically broken.

He lost 300 lbs the first 2 months I owned him after coming off of multiple tranquilizers that his owner had been giving him and underneath lay a sad, angry, and dangerous horse.

It took me months. Months of food trial and error, months of trying, crying, and even being drug across the asphalt at one point on my side. Jacob was the only one who could handle him, I couldn't trailer him, and I felt so defeated. I felt like 23 years of riding should equate to more than this. I felt like I let myself down and I felt like the industry let him down.

Shortly after, we found he had a broken shoulder that had healed, a currently broken withers, and glue in all 4 feet where he had a scar defect that ran all the way down his front foot from his coronet band to his toe. When you'd shoe him, he'd flip over in the aisle way and panic trying to go anywhere but there.

After help from our animal communicator, our blacksmith team, our veterinarian, my chiropractor, and so many people that supported me, he was okay. We decided barefoot was better, we decided that time off would heal all wounds mentally ( over 14 months) and we even changed his name from his original name Bruiser to Shine from his jockey club name: Shine On Bruiser.

Immediately after changing his name, he started to change. He perked up, he finished meals, he came alive again. My cowboy, George showed me how to untraumatize his trailer experiences which are still an ongoing lesson (but hey 10 minutes is better than 6 hours), and now we go places. Where we used to stop at jumps, we go willingly.

We've been trail riding and hunter pacing, we've been to schooling shows, and we ride around the farm at home. I lead him with a halter and we stand tied to the trailer now. We let the farrier trim us with no drama and we even have a personality.

Shine walked right off the trailer to Octoberfest and did the cross rails and the starter combined test. He warmed up for dressage twice with Grace, he handled the wild warm up ring in show jumping like he had done it his whole life, and he got his first ribbon, 6th out of 13. We have a lot to work at, but it's a hell of a start.

He gave me confidence to warm myself up in the SJ and to put my leg on to the base of the fence, and on top of all that at the end of the weekend, he got right on the trailer with no argument.

We hunter paced again the weekend after, and he even let me school cross country which he previously would thrash at, spin, rear, and just flat out refuse.

A once, pretty decent racehorse nonetheless from a reputable barn owner, expendable. A "heart horse" that after one explosion, disposed of to the quickest $2500 bid. An ex racehorse whose anger consumed him because he constantly wasn't being heard. A horse who just wanted an opinión and to be understood. A horse that didn't want anymore drugs or misinformation and even a little turnout time would be nice.

Well I can tell you that never again Shine will you be overlooked. You're safe. You're heard. You're fat. You get unlimited turnout. You get to choose. And just like a golden hour, you get a chance to rise again and show everyone what they overlooked, what they didnt hesr or see. To show everyone that time heals, that not every animal is a race or $.

Ive been at the bottom. These past years, ive struggled, physically and mentally to run my farm and I am forever grateful for the people who have helped me, I am forever blessed to have my job at kesmarc where i get to ride and heal others horses both mentally and physically, and I am excited to see who and what my Where To Farm bring in it's path. A place to heal, a place to love, a place to start again.

Shine on buddy, it's your golden hour 🥰

Bella Casa | 15 year old | Small 15 hands | Registered Paint Mare

🔷️Adult Amateur/ Jr Friendly and Kid Safe horse for lease or sale to perfect home.

Bella spent most of her life as a yearling babysitter. She has proven to be easy, safe, and uncomplicated to jump. She would make a great addition to a lesson program or would be a great confidence builder for a pony clubber to grow with.

She hacks out alone or in company, has been restarted on the flat, and has been started over 2 ft fences. She has participated in a trail obstacle clinic, hunter pace, a local jumper show, foxhunted 3rd flight, and recently attended Octoberfest at the horse park where she finished 2nd out of 14 horses in the starter combined test on a dressage store of 30.0.

She is available for lease or sale in the mid four figures. She is located just outside of Lexington, Kentucky. Please PM me or email [email protected] to set up a showing.

Congratulations to Becky May and Orion on their first event eventing combined test. They entered as a last minute decision on the closing date to try and have a little bit of fun before the season ended. Not only did they go and have a fun time but their partnership gleamed through as they put down a 30.0 in dressage and confidently cantered around ground poles smiling the whole time. Big things in the future for Becky and her shire Star Seeker, aka Orion. What a fun way to end out the year ! Great job and thanks for keeping us company !

You guys are a great reminder that riding should be fun and exciting. Success is measured in all shapes and sizes!

I know we havent been very present on social media the past few months. It has been a busy winter full of planning, hard work and taking some time for self reflection.

Exciting things coming up for 2022. Stay tuned.

We had a great weekend at Champagne Run! Congrats to Lindsey Finch and Roxette on their dressage score of a 25.8 at their first recognized show in years! They had one cheap show jumping rail, but finished 3rd out of 16 and won the High Point Award for T.I.P in their division. Can't wait to watch this pair continue to excel together. Congrats you two, you deserve this!!

A huge congratulations to Lindsey Finch and Roxette on a well deserved win yesterday in a competitive open division at Champagne Run. These two have worked day in and day out to fine tune their jumping and flat work. After Roxette had what they thought was a career ending injury, Lindsey set back to work after giving her time to heal, knowing her best friend would have a home regardless. 3 years later, ready to compete they were siderailed by a pasture ankle injury. With proper vet care and conditioning, Lindsey and her partner in crime came back to take home the win after not competing since 2017! Good for you! You deserve this!

Pictured here is our long term resident JC Name: Sweet As Dr. Albert aka Taco.

Thanks to and the amazing diversity and quality of feed they offer, he is happy, a little chunky, and happy to work with his new rider who began leasing him this past week.

This horse also relies heavily on pro elite oil to keep him feeling his best.

Mindfulness: "the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something"

We as riders constantly have to remind ourselves not to measure our goals and achievements with someone else's measuring stick. We get caught up in comparing and focusing in on what we haven't done instead of what we have accomplished.

We need to continue to be PROUD of what we have done and remember that life is about OPPORTUNITY. Although some have more and some even less, we must use this as a hurdle to push ourselves forward and to be better riders and partners for our equine companions.

I challenge you to set 3 goals for the year and use this as your sliding scale to motivate, achieve, and regroup. Just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it can't.

Stay mindful friends, the best is yet to come.

"You will fail. You will learn. And one day, you'll get it right".

We have to remember that not every ride is going to be a success. We win some and we lose some and we leave with homework and things to work on and improve. Remember to always listen to your partner and take some time to look outside the box. Maybe there's more vet work to be done, training to sort out, and time to take off. No matter what it is, keep kicking forward, its going to be a great year.
