My favorite lesson picture of the week! Emma is showing her enthusiasm for her lesson with Dunkin! Little girls and horses...it's a real thing!

Although this is meant to be funny, there are at least a couple of these that are true...

Another horse show pic from the Ride on RT 66 show. This is Claire riding Pippin. Her rides and ribbons contributed to Pippin's award of Best Thoroughbred Hunter at the show. Nice job, Claire!

My favorite quote from the lessons this week: I asked Kalina where she was going and she answered, with a heavy sigh, "I don't know..." You can just barely hear her as she wanders away. How many hundreds of times have I said the same thing... This is not just a sport, this is a lifestyle!

Our sweet Tap can do this with his hind legs. And he does it both left and right. Anyone seen this before? Stretchy ligaments? Stretchy tendons? He seems perfectly sound behind when ridden...

Not sure if I did a good thing or a bad thing... Little Riley lives across the street and has been asking her parents to ride a horse. Well here's her first ride. On Dunkin of course. I just introduced her and her parents to a sport that is VERY expensive. So, sorry-not sorry? Thanks, Dunkie, for just being you!

More horse show goodies! If you're curious about how hunter classes are judged, here's an example of a really good trip that should garner scores in the high 70s or 80s. The horse is focused and confident coming into the ring, the courtesy circle is round, every jump is met at that perfect take off "spot" (not too close, not too far away), the horse is on the correct lead around every corner, the pace throughout the entire course is the same, step for step, he's straight from one jump to the next, and all eight jumps are smooth and consistent with absolutely to alteration of pace. His rhythmic canter strides are like a metronome. Even though the jumps are low, the ability of the rider to make every step exactly correct is very challenging. Note: Claire's correct form from her chin to her heels helped everything look just that much nicer. Nice work, Claire, who's original ride didn't make it to the show. She had to switch to Pippin with only a day's preparation. And, as always, thank you Pippin, for just being you.

Congratulations to Pippin (Devil's Chocolate) who was the best Thoroughbred hunter at the Ride on Rt. 66 Horse Show in Albuquerque! What a fun award and we're thankful to win it! Pippin you deserve it. Thanks go out to Lily and Claire for being the co-pilots! Thanks to Laura Simpson and Carole Kenney who ran a wonderful show! This is not Pippin in the photo, but this is a picture of the cooler he will receive shortly.

Welcome (back) Adelaide! She landed running with her lessons this week. Cute picture with Mr. G.

Albuquerque horse show pictures! Shout out to Lauren Aston who takes great show photos whenever we're at Expo NM. Lily and Pippin won some blues: my favorite is the picture of Pippin staring down the photographer. He wants to make sure it's his "best side." The eye contact is hilarious!

Check this out: for anyone with a stud c**t who needs it to be gelded. Please share this.

I'm sure these are not the photos that Claire wanted to post from the horse show, but they are so adorable, and she's such a good sport! This is the perplexing tradition of donning the requisite hairnet for proper showing turnout. It's a complicated, arcane and mysterious ritual that all young riders must master, so Lauren is helping. Better videos of Claire actually riding will post later!

03/29/2025

Congratulations Lily! 3 firsts, one second and a third! Beautiful rides and no nerves.

03/28/2025

On the way to the Ride on Rt 66 show in Albuquerque. It's always such a treat to be lucky enough to be at a horse show. Nice weather, great company, wonderful horses. We're counting our blessings every day.

About balance... a human biped cannot stand unless his/her heels are under his/her hips. The same goes for riding. If your heels are too far forward, you will fall back into your saddle. If your heels are too far back, you will fall forward into your horse's neck. If your heels are under your hips, you will be balanced. If you're using your horse's mouth for support, you're doing it wrong. Here, Deb shows a stretch that we do to warm up: notice the plumb line through hips and heels. Thanks, Pippin, for another great lesson.

I think Cisco totally understands about cleaning stalls! He's got the raking motion down pat. What a good helper!

03/21/2025

Our "little" Claire is growing up so fast! Her first true love is Dunkin, but she recently put some time on Indy. Even though he's a "fancy Warmblood" at the end of the day, he's just a horse like all the others at Red Sky Farm. He is a good size for her...
