To all our boarders, students, families and friends...have a fabulous Thanksgiving! We appreciate you all.

Beautiful afternoon for guest trainer Michael Peters. We thoroughly enjoyed his insight and positivity, and loved the results! Thank you Michael, and thank you Paula for your brilliant idea!

10/29/2023

Just a couple from this week...JaneAnn and Cathy's Dixie, Melissa and her boys. (Sue's hiding behind Cash)

10/03/2023

Lots of poles today!

09/11/2023

Congratulations to Cathy on the purchase of Dixie! We are really looking forward to watching this partnership develop.

08/20/2023

Definitely a hot one today! Due to a series of unfortunate events, Heidi and Thor were the only ones showing at FVSA Dressage. He was mostly a very good boy, with scores of 61, 67, and 69, earning 2 seconds and a first, with a little boot camp thrown in. Very nice riding, Heidi!!

07/29/2023

Welcome back Sondra and Halo. We missed you !

07/28/2023

The search is over...Congratulations Paula on her new partner Vinnie!

Such a good weekend. Warren and Purdy came home with seconds in all his tests both days. Alex and Junior rocked his stadium rounds, and rode actual dressage tests both days with a few first places! Heidi and Thor won the amateur pre starter, second in starter, combined tests on Saturday, and despite a meltdown in stadium on Sunday, finished second in the pre starter. Really proud of our riders!

Melissa enjoying her new addition this morning. Welcome Cash, and thank you Kelly Nehring.

Favorite morning bays. Been a while since schedules have synced. Melissa and Tommy, Sydney and Scotch.

07/07/2023

Reconstruction complete! Thanks, Warren!!

06/05/2023

Great day for a horse show! After some tension in both of their early rides, Warren and Purdy, and Susan and Casper turned in lovely tests, for scores in the 60s. Well done! Thor and Heidi came along for the ride, and had a lovely time in the warmup ring, and wandering around the grounds. He was very relaxed, giving Heidi a great birthday ride. A good day!

Tommy helping keep the aisle tidy while Warren and Susan are on a much needed vacation.

02/19/2023

Celebrating our "super seniors": Judy's Bob, 34; Chris's Squeeky, 34; Wendy's Honey, 33; Kelsey's Dani, 30. May we all age as gracefully!

02/05/2023

Much better lessons today. Yesterday's rodeo results: best saddle bronc ride, Paula. Best bronc: tie between Buster and Louie. Best behaved: Thor, with Tommy a close second. Most sensible riders: Warren and Susan, who gracefully exited. Could definitely use less of that kind of excitement!

01/25/2023

Snow day! And welcome Sue and Beauty! We're glad you joined us.

12/26/2022

Merry Merry Christmas to all our boarders, students, and families. You are the best.

10/22/2022

It's been a chilly start in the mornings lately, but the brilliant trees kind of make up for it. Combines rolling, so it is most definitely fall. Overdue welcome to new boarders Paula and Louie, Kim and Asher. We're glad you joined us.

09/17/2022

Fun day at crosswinds dressage and CT. Susan and Casper were third in training 2, won training 3, Warren and Purdy were second in training 1, fourth in training 2, Heidi and Thor were first in Intro A, third in their combined test in his first show. All scored above 61 in dressage. Very proud of good horses and riders.

08/07/2022

If you're going to be stuck inside, it may as well be pretty.

07/18/2022

After 2 inches of rain, young horses playing in the indoor. JaneAnn and KT, Heidi and Thor.

07/10/2022

Yay! Look what we did yesterday! Still a few tweaks left, but so pretty. Thanks to our painters: Tim, Linda, Sue, JaneAnn, Heidi, and Sharon. Fabulous job.

06/01/2022

Super busy morning! The parking lot hasn't been this full in a while! And it's time to tame the jungles. 😁

04/30/2022

Saturday morning Thoroughbreds...Melissa and Tommy, Sue and Dani, Heidi and Thor. Good looking group!

11/14/2021

When you come to work with your dad and the ladies have time to kill. Hehehe...think dad is in trouble!

11/03/2021

It's been a busy week! Sam moved to Michigan to be Kristi's horse, and both seem delighted. Welcome back Joanne, and her temporary guy Superman, AKA Clark. Can't wait to see Joanne back in the saddle. And welcome to Hank, and his endless supply of cookies. We're glad you joined us.

Our version of who wore it better...Tommy wins! And a belated welcome to Janet and her OTTB Mozart. Were glad you joined us!

10/03/2021

Once again, late posting show results! FVSA Dressage...Susan and Casper with a few hiccups with fifths in Training 2 and 3, Warren and Purdy debuting in the big boy ring (in his second ever show) with thirds in Training 1 and 2. Very proud!

Combines rolling in the bean fields...must be Fall!

A lovely morning for beautiful bay TBs. Heidi and Thor, Melissa and Tommy.

Kelsey on her way out with her little buddy Theo...Brookie has to walk!! And a shot of the front garden.

05/21/2021

She has been waiting for this day for a very long time...Congratulations to Heidi on her purchase of Trooper Thorn!!! They are going to be amazing together. Thanks Kristina Koehler for your help.

05/02/2021

Overdue congratulations for our dressage riders at FVSA last weekend! Carolyn Vasilakos joined us and captured the wins in both her first level tests, and winning the Training/First level championship, and reserve high point. It was so good to play with her! The first timers, Warren and Purdy, and Lynne and Sam had lovely tests, winning nice ribbons. Susan and Casper, and Heidi and Hawk, had a few glitches, but had moments of brilliance, and came home with ribbons as well. Lots of smiles. Very nice job all.

04/09/2021

A couple of goodbyes...
Best wishes to Ashley, Evelyn and Cavallo as they open a new chapter in their lives in Louisville. We look forward to frequent updates! And will miss dancing in the aisles with the bedhead.

Now the tough one. Tearful goodbye to Vee, the speckled unicorn, and master of energy conservation. Although he was frustrating at times, he had so much to teach, and did it well, and was very well loved (and spoiled) by both boarders and students. The far end of the barn is eerily silent.

02/16/2021

Thank you Warren.

02/03/2021

So pretty...and horses dozing in the sun.

01/26/2021

Roads west of Kaneville are snow-covered and drifting badly in spots. Warren's second attempt to keep the drifts away...horses are snug and meds and supplements done...munching hay. Stay home, tomorrow is another day.

12/25/2020

Merry Christmas to all our boarders, students, friends, and family.
