Congratulations to our 2025-2026 IEA team on an exceptional regular season. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed witnessing these girls blossom throughout the season, not only in their riding skills but also in their friendships. We’ve shared laughter, tears, and cheers together. I am incredibly proud to have observed their growth as individuals. Thank you to the parents who make it possible. Thank you to who keeps our horses happy and our girls wrangled! Thank you for joining us this season with your wisdom and constant encouragement to all. We can’t wait to see where we go next! (Some of our riders were not available for these post show pictures but just know they are there in spirit!)

IEA Season has officially kicked off! Our girls absolutely crushed their first show at this weekend! Their hard work and dedication are truly paying off.

Very special picture! 3 years ago we bought the cutest 3 yo TB mare Lucky (far right) and while bringing her along, she showed us she has the best heart and brain to match. We love her so much that we bought her half brother… Ducky (middle) whose talent and charisma shines through every ride. Then came sweet Ruby (far left) their “baby sister” who is actually their aunt! Ruby and Ducky both already had a race career before coming to us and truly owe us nothing but here they are, shining in their second careers. We love these horses and are forever grateful for the thoroughbreds that come through our program
