Some highlights from the show, Ellie, Bachman, and Judah, earned a fourth Place ribbon in their debut in the pleasure hunters over fences. Judah and Ellie were also reserve champions in the adult pleasure flat division on Sunday. Addison Sorrells and Rainier were champion in the intermediate division and champion in the youth pleasure hunters on Sunday. Rylie Roeglin and her horse Deuce made their debut in the pleasure hunters over fences and earned a six Place ribbon out of 14 horses. Chloe Hodges. and Forget Me Not Farms, Carolina’s Punch, earned two thirds and a fourth place in beginner equitation. Congratulations to all!

This post has been a long time coming! The Forget Me Not team attended the 2023 SWVHJA banquet held last night at Wintergreen ski resort. To say that I am proud of these riders is an understatement. They each worked hard on personal goals, put in the hours at the barn riding in leasons, watching others ride, helping with chores when needed and just making sure that their horses were in the best shape mentally and physically they could be to compete. Congratulations to you all, you make me proud each and every day with your dedication to your horses and this sport!

The first Forget Me Not Farm “mini camp” was a huge success!!! The campers enjoyed fun filled days of riding, crafts, un-mounted lectures, farrier demonstrations, mounted and un-mounted games, pony painting, assisting with evening chores and enjoying lots of snacks! A huge thank you to Victoria Riordan, Addison Sorrells, Ella Cummins, Chloe Hodges and Landis Hoskins! Without this group of young ladies this couldn’t have been possible. I am grateful to have such a great group of juniors /young adults who are not only teachable and willing to learn but who see the importance of educating the next generation of riders and are willing to help do this! So proud of everyone this week😊

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Forget Me Not Farm page! I would like to introduce myself and tell you about my career in the horse industry up to this point. I started riding at the age of 10 and soon got involved with the local 4-H and Pony Clubs. My passion for horses continued through college. I attended Southern Seminary in Buena Vista, VA and furthered my education at William Woods University and earned a degree in business. Immediately after graduating college in 1994 I accepted a position at Randolph Macon Women’s College working for my former coach and mentor JT Tallon. This career path would last for 21 years and paved the way for me to start my own business. After leaving Randolph I returned to the collegiate world and spent 4 years at Sweet Briar College before making the move to create Forget Me Not Farm. This has been a life long dream and my chance to pay back all that has been given to me over the years with the goal to produce quality and ambitious horsemen and women.
