This isn’t how we expected the next chapter of the Lil Randy story would go.

Lil Randy
4/27/2016 - 8/23/2024

Your beginning was rough, but then you found your forever home. We love you buddy 💔

Randy was involved in a freak trailer incident on Friday afternoon after a wonderful schooling session. The incident reminded us to be thankful for every ride and how supportive the horse community can be.

We navigated a tropical storm, schedule changes and plenty of shenanigans, but we made it!

A group shipped up to HITS Culpeper over the weekend and showed. We learned, made progress, brought home ribbons, and achieved goals. 💪🏻🥇

“Documentation is a love letter that you write to your future self.” -Damian Conway 📝

As part of our training program, we document our progress which includes photos along the way.

Progress and change takes goal setting, time, hard work, and teamwork. Individualized and targeted training (to include ground work and riding), fitness, play, turn out, nutrition, veterinary care, farrier work, and bodywork are all part of the program.

Documentation allows us to check in and adjust our plan accordingly. Here are photos of some horses currently in our program and their comparison photos. All horses are OTTBs.

Thank you to our crew for a fun and successful weekend!

“And a hugely important piece to remember is that no horse is actually programmed like a piece of software. Every rider is training every horse every time they ride, whether they mean to or not.” - Eliza Sydnor Romm

Dressage trainer Eliza Sydnor Romm and professional artist Susan DiFelice were first introduced decades ago, when Sydnor’s family hired DiFelice to paint a portrait of her horse. Some 20 years later collaborated on a dressage training video for DiFelice’s website Allpony. In this new “Drawn T...

The fun part of having young, developing horses: watching the pieces come together 🧩

05/27/2024

We had a busy weekend! ☀️💙

On Saturday, we had a couple of the young horses show at Haverhill Farm for a Horse Shows of Central Virginia show. And if you haven’t heard, all of the shows are now part of the United States Hunter Jumper Association - USHJA Outreach program.

On Sunday, we attended the Missy Roades - Hunter Judge, Trainer, and Clinic Instructor clinic. We received a lot of great feedback and takeaways to continue developing ourselves and the horses.

Thank you to the Haverhill team for putting on a wonderful show and clinic!

Last week, we ventured out with a small crew to the James River Hunt Horse Show. The learning experience was priceless.

Most notably, we were impressed with Randy and learned a lot about his needs. His racing career ended up with him in the kill pen at New Holland and last week was his first rated show. And, yes…his mane was roached for the show. Despite braiding practice at home, he was not a fan. Sometimes you have to beat to your own drum. 🥁

Super excited about Horse Shows of Central Virginia's decision to move their series to the USHJA Outreach Program. This is long overdue and a huge benefit to the athletes in our region. We are happy to announce that we will be sponsoring the Sportsmanship Award for this series! We have also restocked many items and brought in new items so come see us on May 25th at Haverhill Farm!
