I am placing my clothing order on Friday, so if you want anything let me know before then! If you told me what you want, I’ve got you down!
I’ll send invoices out on Friday as well.

As we start turning into winter and the horses are all cozy in their blankets, I want to reflect on some things I have been thankful for.

First off, the equine partners that tote us around are the ones that deserve all the recognition. All the horses have grown and succeeded in so many different ways throughout the year. They win us our pretty ribbons and bring the barn such joy with their personalities. We wouldn’t be the people we are without them.

Secondly, my client family, I wouldn’t be where I am without you! Your dedication and trust in me is something I cherish. It makes my day when you come out smiling to the barn and joke around with me. From bringing me coffee or asking me to pet sit for you, you make my life so enriched. I truly believe I have the best barn family.

To the amazing people who support me, my coaches, my parents, my friends and partners, the amount of care I have for each of you cannot be put in words. I love each of you. I wouldn’t be the rider or professional I am without your support. Thank you for getting up at 4am and driving hours to just sit in the hot sun or rain to let me go jump my farm animal over stuff in the woods.

As we begin to look forward to closing out the competition season and enjoying some cozy winter training months ahead, we’re filled with gratitude for this incredible journey we share with all of you.
From the HJ Sport Horses at Lavender Hills barn family to yours, happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Loving riding under our lights! Especially now that it gets dark so early. Can’t wait to light up the arena even more!

Marvin is in the Halloween spirit. But he would like me to tell you he likes to take hands that don’t clean their tack!

A horsey filled weekend for the barn!

🍀 Luci and I went to the Battle Creek Hunt Club Hunter Pace, where we once again won the tortoise award. We absolutely love the hunt club and this event is a highlight of our year!

🦄 Lila went to her first horse show! She did phenomenal at her show with Fancy. I double booked myself so the best neighbor & owner of Fancy went with her! Exciting to see how this pair develops.

Only a few more shows of the season!

Our last Thistle Run Equestrian Event Services show of the season ended with such growth from everyone. I can’t put to words how proud I am of the work the girls have done this year. Whether it is improving our position, jumping higher, or gaining confidence, every single one of my kiddos has exceeded my expectations. The kiddos even started telling ME what they needed to do to improve!
We have a few more shows before our season is completely over, but this series ended with such a bang.
Some highlights!

💅🏻 Kenz and Hello I’m Johnny Cash competed at 18” for the first time, along with getting well deserved ribbons, including a year end award plus that blue!

👑 Luci and Honeybee got top ribbons and won both her eq classes! Such a confidence builder

🦄 Chloe and Buddy killed it at their first TR show, and won a class! They put down some solid rounds with nice ribbons in jumping as well!

🍀 Mila came and supported the crew for her birthday! Can’t wait to get her back in the show ring after her injury!

Thank you to our wonderful show parents as well. Couldn’t survive without you!
