We are SO excited to announce this match Katherine Maresca and Citation! aka "Teddy". Katherine is the queen of grooming and horse care, so we just know Teddy is destined to be spoiled. We can't wait to see what this pair can accomplish in the show ring this Summer!

But it’s not just about ribbons—it’s about the bond they’ll build and the lessons they’ll teach each other along the way. We’re here for every single moment! ❤️

Huge shoutout to our amazing head trainer, Jess Santolaya, for having the ultimate matchmaking skills.

Can’t wait to see Katherine and Teddy take on the world together.

Farewell and Best Wishes to Caryn Yakacki!

It’s with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to our incredible riding instructor, Caryn Yakacki, as she embarks on an exciting new chapter in North Carolina.

Caryn has been more than just an instructor—she’s been a mentor, a cheerleader, and a true inspiration. Over the years, she’s helped hundreds of students not only become better riders but more confident and resilient individuals. Caryn’s unwavering strength, entrepreneurial spirit, and determination to never settle for less than her worth have left an indelible mark on our community.

She has taught our kids to believe in themselves, and to ride with purpose. Her kindness, encouragement, and passion have shaped so many lives, and we are forever grateful.

You've shown us what it means to lead with confidence and compassion.

While we’re sad to see you go, we couldn’t be happier for you and your beautiful growing family.

Wishing you all the love and happiness in this new adventure! You will always have a place in our hearts and in our riding community. 🐴💙
