This pair joined my team almost exactly a year ago. They’d never seen fillers in the show jumping much less any type of cross country. They ran their first recognized event February this year at Starter. Proceeded to qualify for the AECs at Starter, BN, and Novice. Now, they’ve wrapped their competition season looking like fire at Training level. Oh - and by the way, have won practically every event they’ve competed in.
Congratulations on an amazing season @s.g.m.eventing and Lucky Clover!
When I recently posted an ISO for a horse to add to my program Cruise was really the horse I was thinking of but never imagined his mom would let him come hang with us. But - here he is with one of his two new leasers, doing their first jump school together! Could not be more thankful to @danielleayan for her generosity in sharing her most perfect boy with us.
I cannot promise an outcome 🏆 - I do promise a process. ✨
October 2022 vs TODAY!
Also exactly two years to date. Pace was 10 yo taking his first English lesson on Khaleesi, learning how to post and balance in two point. Today, he’s quite solidly jumping around 3’3” courses and heading to his first Novice this weekend.
In between, he’s ridden 2 other perfect schoolmasters, just purchased his first horse in June this year, and has consistently shown up for lessons, horse shows, and additional training opportunities.
Want to know what it’s like to work with a coach that wants to help you learn the process, so you can create your own, successful outcomes? DM me. Let’s chat! I’m always happy to help.
The few quiet evenings I get here on the farm I truly cherish. Evening walks like these during the golden hour with my five favorite girls are irreplaceable.
At the end of each day, whether on a quiet walk like this or simply winding down after teaching and riding all day, I try to reflect on how the day has gone and ask myself these questions:
1. What happened today that I’m grateful for?
2. What actions moved me towards my goals?
3. Are there any changes I can make?
Trying to strike a balanced between gratitude and self-improvement I think is what helps keep my attitude positive but always focused on growth.

Managing your mindset as a competitor is deeply important. As eventers, the challenges are endless. Which one of these mindset shifts hits home for you?

Stella and Clover have only been in our program since mid July 2023 (~7 months). They came to us with a great foundation of the basics and absolutely a winning attitude - but zero eventing experience. And here they are, crushing it! Looking forward to Kentucky!!! 💚💚💚
Stella and Clover started riding with us in mid-July 2023 (~7 months). They came with a good foundation and a winning attitude but no eventing experience. Now they are consistently crushing it around Beginner Novice with aspirations for more by the end of the year. Can’t wait for Kentucky!
This phase has long been my achilles heel. I tend to go in, and rush through the course, which doesn’t turn out well. This time I entered the ring, and told myself to have as much power as possible in the canter, but go as slow as I possibly could. It was a schooling round, if I had a mistake, it would be OK. Looks like it turned out fairly well! @devoucoux_usa_can_official @maregoods @correct_connect_ @bgonewhitelinetreatment @thehitchandtow
