There’s a special place in horsey heaven for the greatest teachers of all.

Largo, we did endless lessons together. You were the one that made riders believe they could be safe on a horse again. You showered the kids in your grace & gentleness. Your wisdom would shine through in your well attuned safety stop.

Liz, Jen & Stargazer Farm, thank you for sharing a true treasure.

Largo, thank you for carrying them all with safety & grace. Rest easy, sweet one. ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️

Hero! 🤩

At 81, Roisin O’Rahilly has had a lot of life experiences, but there’s two things she’d never done before this weekend: Compete at the USEA American Eventing Championships or at the Kentucky Horse Park. This weekend she accomplished both and won the beginner novice master amateur division on h...

What a weekend! It was an absolute pleasure to be part of this dream team. 5 BAM crew horses went BN!

Jessica Cooper on Christine’s “Free at Lass” (Baedos) came together in “operation finding joy”, help us celebrate their win on a 34.1 💙

Hayden on “The One and Only Ivan” (Ivan) had 3 really nice phases with special attention to bold and confident jumping phases. They placed 3rd with a 36.9 💛

Hayden on “Manners Maketh” (Eggsy) had a taste of being in first-she did a brilliant job keeping the lid on XC were he wanted to be a feral wild beast. So added time & safety managed, they ended in 5th. 🩷

Meg and “Bang the Drum” (Synco) put down the 3 softest, most obedient and chill phases to date. A real achievement with a 🔥 🐌 to finish in 8th 🤎

Christine & Eagle Fifty (Wasabi, Wallet, Winnebago, Widget, Wilbur, Wallaby) finished on their dressage score, which means he is really working to keep 4 on the floor in the dressage & has scope for dayzzzz in the jumping. Huge credit to Christine for tactfully, thoughtful and brilliant jumping rounds. They finished in 10th 🖤

Huge congratulations are in order for our fearless pursuer of dreams, Jen. Thank you for being the best example of perseverance! Your support as a friend, barn owner and veterinary care really helps so many dreams come to fruit! 💜

Jen & “Blueshift” (Shelly, Sheldon) finished their Training with a 35.6 and ended 3rd 💛

Jen & “Hot Shot Kid” moved up to Novice and finished 6th with a 36.4 💚

Also! The perpetual volunteer-er and supporter for the love of the sport goes to Bob & Erin Owen. Bob came to the events 20+ years ago, saw ways to improve it & is the reason we have fantastic sounds all through the valley & barns. They spend many weekends at Otter on non-show and dressage show and event weekends making it better every time. Thank you, friends! ❤️❤️

Thank you, Otter Creek Farm for yet another dreamy place to host your wonderful event.

We love Coach Stewart of Pressure Proof Coaching Academy!

Riders, there are 2 things that define you as a rider.
1) Your patience when you have nothing, and
2) Your attitude when you have everything

When you're struggling to have patience or maintain a good attitude, might I suggest that you SOAR?
S - stay in the zone - the mindset to stay in the present, nothing too easy and nothing too hard but just right to be present without panicking.
O - own your mistakes - you are going to make mistakes but I hope you are making the right amount to learn but not enough to want to quit, and when you do mess up, simply own it.
A - adapt to pressure - you get to predetermine how you are going to respond in the face of adversity. Shift the pressure from negative to positive.
R - relax and enjoy the ride - take a breath and remember that you do actually enjoy this sport.

Good morning & remember to stretch!

To maintain an attached, supple balance of your seat …

Imagine your stirrups are like a trampoline. You cannot brace into a trampoline, but if you keep your ankles, knees and hips soft and able to bend, you can maintain your balance on the trampoline.
