Nate’s Lesson with Lisa Lewis
✨Nate the Great living up to his name!✨
Nate has been spending his 5 year old year working on fine tuning the basics with Cat. We both stand firm in our belief that there is no sense in rushing a horse solely because they have potential for the upper levels. There are a ton of other factors that come into play.
Horse first, always.
Pete Flat Lesson Sept 2024
✨Sales horse, Pete has a flat lesson with Lisa Lewis!✨
Pete put on his dancin’ shoes and showed us his fancy moves! We are so impressed by this horse. He has come such a long way since coming off the track in January. 🥹
Pete takes on a mini-event
✨What a successful event!!✨
We took Pete down the road to @floraleafarm for theirFall mini-event. It was an awesome outing where we were lucky enough to be surrounded by friends and family from the local area. Pete put in a solid, calm dressage test followed by two confidence building jump rounds.
A huge thank you to the organizers and volunteers!!
✨ Pete is bringing the heat! ✨
We are feeling ready for next week’s horse trial! Unlike last season, we really haven’t been competing at a ton of horse trials this year. Each horse is so unique which means tailoring their program to meet their needs.
Pete has benefitted from dressage shows, jumper shows, and lots of XC schooling to help him understand each phase of the job he’s being asked to do. Helping him figure out the pieces of the puzzle one by one has made him a confident, sensible, appropriately educated horse.
What is your favorite phase in Eventing? 🤔
✨Pepe and Heywood aka Pete ✨
He just keeps getting better and better! We had an awesome jump school with Sally today.
Get in touch with us if you think this 6 year old OTTB would fit well in your barn!

✨How do you get ready for the Cross Country with your horse?✨
Something we’ve practiced while at Camp Windurra is our mindset. Setting the intentions for the day, pre-ride rituals, and how to stay focused for your ride are just a few of the tools we’ve been adding to our tool belts.
For me, music helps get me “in the zone”! Riding is as much mental as it is physical. Pete and I like to have a little fun while we gear up to go run around the cross country.
What song should I add to my pre-ride playlist?!

✨We’ve been keeping a secret! 🤫 ✨
BGE is beyond excited to announce that Pete and I secured a spot in the inaugural Camp Windurra 2024! This four-day camp, hosted by four-time Olympian Boyd Martin and International Dressage Rider Silva Martin, will provide the selected riders with an unparalleled opportunity to train alongside some of the best in the industry.
I am thrilled to be able to participate in seminars led by industry leaders from the Martins’ team, covering topics such as Equine Nutrition, Physiotherapy for riders, and so much more. This camp is not only a chance to improve my skills as a rider, but also to expand my knowledge and network within the equestrian community.
Being able to learn from Boyd and Silva Martin in this capacity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I am honored to be a part of it. I believe that knowledge is power, and by training with champions, I am setting myself and the BGE team up for success.
I cannot wait to see how this experience will impact my riding and help me grow as a rider. Stay tuned for updates on my journey at Camp Windurra 2024 - I have a feeling it’s going to be a game-changer! #CampWindurra2024 #TrainLikeAChampion #BridgeTheGapEquine
Today we had a special guest out to ride Peter Piper! At just 13 years old, Lady A handled this green OTTB like an absolute PRO! Pete was also quite a gentleman for her 🥰 I think they both enjoyed each other’s company.
Meschach feels VERY strongly about his Olympic potential. 😂😂

Pete has been working hard, learning what it means to be off the racetrack. We are constantly impressed with this horse, he is going to be a tough one to part with!
This weekend we got to lesson with Lisa Lewis, an upper level dressage trainer. We are super lucky to have her up by us every month for lessons!
He has entered his 6th month in training with us… Time is flying!
Through the window to his soul, I found a breakthrough in our bond. Pete typically doesn’t fully soften his eye or fully relinquish trust, he still had his guard up.
However, using techniques I’ve learned doing guided meditation, I took a chance and applied it to his most recent PEMF session.
It greatly enhanced his PEMF session and we both felt the profound shift as he began to trust me. His eye completely softened, he let out a big sigh, he dropped his nose to the ground, and he RELAXED… TRULY RELAXED.
Witness the power of mindfulness in action as we deepen our connection through trust and understanding. 🐴✨
