Hannah Irons Junior Weekend Clinic was such an educational and fun weekend for the up and coming future of the Equestrian Sport.

First off, we want to thank our weekend clinician Hannah for all of the tips, tricks, advice and girl talk at lunch and the pizza party Saturday night! Every girl took so many ideas to work on in the rides to come! We were so lucky to have you at our farm and look forward to the next clinic!

Next we want to thank all of the Western PA professionals who graciously donated a ride to each of the girls to be able to participate the entire weekend with Hannah. Those professionals are: Laura Ann Kosiorek-Smith with Stone's Throw Sport Horses LLC, Emily Morris with Russell's Landing Dressage, Jacqueline Ely with Ely Equine LLC, Lisa Hall with Full Circle Dressage Stable, Kim Reynolds with RKR Farm and Keepsake Equestrian Center. None of this would have been possible without you giving back to the youth in our sport!

Another huge thank you goes out to Renee with Animal-MAGNAtism for donating breakfast and lunch both days! It was delicious!

We also would like to thank Three Rivers Equestrian Association for donating gift bags for each rider! The girls loved the new swag and sweet and thoughtful gifts!

And a special thank you goes out to Loretta Pettinato for all of your hands on help the entire weekend, putting bags together and all of your positive vibes for the girls! You are always everyone’s biggest cheerleader! And another special thank you to Emily for helping coordinate with Hannah and all of your help over the weekend!

Keepsake Equestrian Center is excited to announce Jim Boyce as our new in-house Hunter Jumper Trainer who will be giving weekly lessons at our farm.

Jim Boyce’s Bio:
With almost two decades of experience as a hunter jumper trainer, Jim Boyce began his professional career when he joined BarGee Farms in 2007. Since that time, Jim has built a wonderful clientele of riders and their horses. Jim’s instruction is dedicated to horse and rider safety, sound horsemanship, and solid flatwork and jumping skills at all levels of riding. He values providing his students with the knowledge they need to enjoy a lifetime of riding. His patience, dedication, open communication and passion for bringing people and horses together have helped Jim to produce successful students both in and out of the show ring. His approach has also allowed him to enjoy matching riders and horses and to successfully source and train new prospects.

In 2011, Jim was appointed as the head coach for the University of Pittsburgh Equestrian hunt seat team which competes as part of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. He continues in that role today, and over the years has coached riders to qualify and compete at IHSA National Championships. Jim frequently serves as a clinician at barns throughout Western Pennsylvania.

His own riding has been developed through study with Barbie Bancroft, lessons with Paul Valliere and riding in clinics with industry legends such as George Morris, Jeff Cook and Melanie Smith Taylor. When not training clients and their horses, Jim can be found in the hunter and jumper rings competing his own horses. Jim is a member of USEF and USHJA and is a USHJA Certified Trainer.

And lastly we would like to recognize all of the participants and their ponies who survived the heat that day. Y’all had the best rides and were some of the most amazing guests to host!

We want to wish you and your family a wonderful Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻🎄🧑🏻‍🎄 May your reins be in your hand and your joy be in your heart this holiday season!

Caring for these ponies is such a dream come true for us 🤍 makes my heart happy seeing them enjoying their (extra) hay!

Christmas Photo Shoot Day! 🎄

Dry lot paddocks going in! 🫶🏻 This construction probably makes my heart the happiest out of anything we have done here at the farm. Those that know me know that horses with laminitic episodes and ones that are metabolic have a soft place in my heart, and everyone that knows me also knows how much I love horses being outside and being a horse.. which this construction and project will give these horses the opportunity to get fresh air like a normal horse but also be safe doing it! A huge thank you to my dad for making this happen! You’re going to make a lot of ponies (&& owners) happy 💕🦄
