Happy 3rd birthday to Painted Ha-Lo Ranch! We signed the lease 3 years ago yesterday. Living out a childhood dream has been such a blessing even though it’s a lot of work and sometimes a lot of stress. We have changed and grown so much since starting and I’m thankful for our wonderful boarders, lesson students, and everyone else who has been part of this journey. I’ll have to put all the pictures side by side so you can see the changes to our family through the years!

This weekend was the start of the IHSA Western season! So proud of the team from Illinois State University for placing in every class they were in this weekend! We learned a lot and have a lot to work on but it was an amazing start to the year. I can’t wait to watch the team grow and improve throughout the season. And thank you so much to Black Hawk College Equestrian Program for hosting a great show with great horses. I graduated from the school in 2018 and it felt great to be back.

This horse has been a personal project for years and one of the two horses the farm is named after! We’ve had a rough start but she is finally starting to come along nicely! I am currently offering off-site lessons so I can come to you! I am insured to teach at any facility I go to so PM me if you need some help with your own horse in the comfort of your own arena!

Last weekend was a huge success for the students and boarders at Painted Ha-Lo Ranch! We went to the awesome show hosted by The Legacy Ranch. Many top 6 finishes in HUGE classes for this group in everything from pleasure, to ranch, to barrels and poles! It was a crazy day so I don’t remember everyone’s exact placings in every class, but some highlights for the day:

Ella showing Kruz with many first and seconds in the pleasure and pattern classes

Sophia on Louie with a second in Equitation and some high finishes in the English pleasure and all discipline pleasure classes (big classes!)

Chezni riding Sagebrush and Moonstone with a ribbon for just about every class! Pleasure and barrel classes, and a second in her first ever horsemanship pattern! She kept up with all the big kids and adults at only 7 years old

Tessa on Sagebrush with a win in youth barrels and top 5 finish in youth poles! And won the egg and spoon.

Ryane on Jazzy with a 3rd in youth barrels and top 5 in poles

Taylor riding her horse Thunder with a 5th in the open barrels and some really nice rides in the pleasure classes too!

Kelli riding Jazzy with a 6th in a big ranch rail class and some other nice western pleasure class rides!

Everyone did fantastic, supported each other, and worked like a team and I’m so proud of the hard work each and every one of them put in! If I missed anyones placing or special note please remind me and I will put it in! Can’t thank you all enough for allowing me to do what I love.

Meet the lesson horses! Today’s horse is Jazzy.

Jazzy came to the lesson program at the end of October last year. Full name is ApprovedApache Review and she is 7 years old! Jazzy spent the first years of her life on a ranch working cows, checking fences and trail riding. She has had roping training and spent a summer running barrels. Since she has been a part of Painted Ha-also Ranch, she has shown in western and English pleasure classes, ranch riding, and horsemanship/equitation and has been quite successful. She has been restarted on the barrel pattern to clean things up. She is always willing to try and learn new things and takes FANTASTIC care of all students, from walk/trot peewees to our advanced riders! I’m super excited for the students to be able to learn from such a reliable, athletic young mare!

So blessed to have such an awesome team mate to show and teach students! Louie and I got some exciting news recently. We started taking part in an online horse show, and in 2021 we took a few year end a awards! This is for a horse show open to anyone and it has been a great way to practice and improve our skills. This year we were:

Reserve champion in hunters
3rd overall for working horse riding
5th overall for jumpers
7th overall for walk/trot/canter pleasure

It was so much fun to be able to show against such talented riders from all over all year! And thankful to have Louie in the program!

Meet the lesson horses! Today’s horse: Louie

Louie is my personal horse, and the first horse I ever owned. He has shown and been successful in barrel racing and pole bending, western, English, and ranch pleasure, and hunter hack. He has worked cows and been trail ridden as well. Louie is suitable for all ages of riders and has something to teach everyone. He loves young kids, and can speed up for the older ones! His favorite thing to do is hang out with his friend Finny, and eat. His favorite snack is watermelon.
