Picking up where we left off. Speaking about resilience. While that may look different for each of us, here at the farm it looks like this. The morning after our accident some of the barns family members who were involved showed up full force along with our extended barn family (who are not all pictured) for a volunteer work day! This is just a part of what caring for animals teaches us. To put others first and show up. Regardless of the circumstances you get up and show up. Props to our fearless leader Jodi Higdon Hall for organizing this day and putting physical work in even while her heart was hurting. In her own words “the show must go on”. Thank you to all who came out to help with improvements on the property. There will be plenty more of these days to come. A day at a time we are building our future together.

I'm a riser
I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider
Pushing comes a-shovin'
Hey I'm a fighter
When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter
A get out aliver, out of the fire

This post is difficult to write. In the middle of Friday night/Saturday early morning on our way to Iowa to pick up an Academy lesson horse and a horse for a client, we experienced mechanical problems in Morris, Illinois. A kind Officer spotted us and provided transportation to a local hotel. Within little time he was back at the hotel knocking on the door to inform us our truck and trailer has been hit by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the road. Praise God the driver is okay and that our barn family were not in the vehicle and we did not have horses in the trailer. We now pick up the pieces. Literally. Facing a daunting task of dealing with multiple insurance companies, traveling to secure what belonging are left where accident occured and purchasing a new horse trailer and most likely a truck to haul it. A special thank you goes out to Fernando Gonzalez for driving to get everyone at the drop of a hat and bringing them home safely to the farm. God has been so good to us and we will cheerfully push forward in finding a way to get the two horses to our barn from Iowa. Resilience is what we are made of.

Thankful Thursday! 🙏🏼 We would like to extend a giant thank you to Tony and Marla for the hard work they put in today repairing our indoor arena walls that the horses have been “decorating”. We are grateful for our wonderful farm family. Next up a bath, then fresh paint! Stay tuned!

The Dayton Horse Show 2024 is in the books. What a great time. We experienced some crazy traffic, lots of heavy rain on the drive down, lots of laughs and tons of smiles. Out of town shows include much more than the time spent in the arena. The time out of it is every bit as valuable. Thank you again Jodi for being much more than a trainer! Executive Farms family and fun.

Your child is begging you to start riding lessons, but you’re unsure where to start? Here’s why saddleseat riding is a wonderful option for your child 🫶:

🐎Saddlebreds are curious, highly attentive and intelligent horses and enjoy bonding with their riders. Bonds like this are something children take with them into adulthood, and with a saddlebred, this bond comes easily.

🐎The saddlebred is a gracious horse and is intuitive to a young rider. Big horses with large hearts which allow the littlest of riders to handle them in the show ring. We see this over and over again.

🐎Saddlebreds adore attention. And children love giving them that attention.

🐎Riding a saddlebred teaches great balancing skills, strengthens your child’s body as well as discipline.

🐎Let’s face it, there is nothing more spectacular than a little child showing a marvelous horse such as the saddlebred.

🐎To conclude, horse care and riding teaches a child the valuable lesson of responsibility which is priceless.

Incredible words for the most incredible animals…

How much weight can a horse carry?

A horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can’t carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babies before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad.

They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.
