Celebrating the holidays and each other with oysters, chili, sweets, and freestyle under the oaks. 2023 was certainly a great year for Sarah and her riders, and they have each set some great goals.

We had an incredible couple of days here at The Stables at Iron Horse. Teamwork and balance were the themes both inside and outside the ring. Our riders and auditors learned more about Working Equitation from trainer Jane Renner. This discipline combines the fundamentals of dressage with the precision of riding through a series of various obstacles related to cattle work. Jane shared the philosophies she has developed incorporating the rider’s ability to connect with the horse on a much deeper level and produce a unique type of trust between horse and rider. A huge thank you to all who helped create our course; Jane Renner, Elizabeth Sharpe, Sarah Sharpe, Carol Lasnier, Robert Shaw, and of course the amazing Miguel! Thank you to our haul-ins and auditors, it was a pleasure to meet you. We look forward to hosting more clinics in 2024.🐂🐴🐂

So proud of Sarah, all our riders and horses, and the members the of Iron Horse family that made the trip to Ocala. No rider can achieve success alone, it takes an incredible support system. It's not the destination, it's the journey! 🐴💙🐴

An absolutely perfect morning for riding in the river pasture. For a couple of hours there was a hint of fall in the air. 🌳🐎🌳

Great night, with great people, eating great food, all for a great cause! The Stables at Iron Horse enjoyed a fun dinner at Minero Johns Island Giving Back Night benefiting Charleston Area Therapeutic Riding, Inc. We were missing a few folks, so we look forward to doing it again and bringing the whole barn. 🌮🐴🍹

On any given day at Iron Horse, there are so many opportunities to observe and learn. Watching trainer work with her green draft-cross Hamilton is a unique chance to learn more about the importance of foundation work. Here Sarah works on teaching steering while lunging. Hamilton is already a barn favorite, and we can't wait to see this pair develop. To enjoy the ride, we must understand it's so much more than just a ride. 🐴🤎🐴

Taking a moment to pause and reflect on this Memorial Day 🇺🇸🐴🇺🇸

We are excited to work with Sandy and F.I.C.S. Of Maryland. Sandy initially flew down to South Carolina to look over the entire Iron Horse property. She listened to our goals and our concerns. Sandy was able to see our vision. Together we are mapping out a plan to tackle our immediate needs and the larger capital projects over the coming years. She even worked us back into her schedule to teach our staff how to adjust and use our new drag properly. Now that is service! 🐴🚜🐴 F.I.C.S. of Maryland, Inc. Sandy Hart Long

Under the moon, next to the river. The horses boarded at The Stables at Iron Horse are fortunate to have two full-time live-ins to watch over and care for them after hours. These staff members have thirteen years combined experience living and working with our horses, learning the personalities and mannerisms of each horse. Their experience is invaluable, and it makes all the difference! Thank you to Jennifer Wicker for this great shot of the moon over our iconic cupola and roofline. 🌙🐴🌙
