Celebrating the end of the summer with our amazing barn community! Here’s to an amazing 9 months of 2025 and 3 more to go!

Just a little light humor for Saturday. 🤣🤣🤣

Summer 2025 gets dubbed “the summer everything wants to break”. I guess when you’ve been in this business as long as we have equipment goes lame.

No amount of supplements, vetting or stall rest could save our trusty 1997 model Maytag dryer.

Goodbye old friend, you’ll be missed. Out with the old, in with the new as they say. Staying Maytag loyal!

And that’s a wrap for Team WWE at the Clarke/Frederick Open Show Series! Thank you all who came out to support us today. Our 7 student/horse combos rode beautifully and did a stellar job presenting nicely turned out horses.

Rocky Mountain High/Ava L stepped into warm up and got their left lead canter after a few weeks of being super sore to the left. Huge 🙌🙌🙌 as we weren’t sure he felt up to canter classes. Thank you Dr. Mattie Leto for working you magic on “Denny” and Stampede Farriers for hooking him up with therapeutic hind shoes/casts. This winning combo helped Denver feel his best out there today. Grateful! Super job in very competitive and large classes. Ava chose to ride this young 5 year old this season and has improved him, and herself. 🥇 🫶 Team Roan!

Cal N’s confidence soared today showing Ghost Mine is Showmanship & Halter Geldings. It’s his second time showing Ghost and they are buddies. Cal showed Americana in the leadline, displaying excellent posture and skill. Congratulations on 5 ribbons in your 5 classes! Woo hoo! 🏆

Danica M & Scampi had a great day, making improvements in every class with great placements. In the greens, this duo pulled out all the stops and clicked into a steady groove. Super proud of your partnership in the arena and your determination today! 🫶🦄🫶 Way to go!

Emmalene M got to show off her hard work & dedication with Journey today. She backed Journey a year ago and has been working with with him every week. We decided to see how he would do at a show and he more exceeded expectations- 🤩 WOW. Cool, calm & collected every second at the show, this young horse pinned in 7 out of his 9 classes and earned a Reserve Champion in the Open. 🏆 Needless to say, we have another roan superstar in the making and cannot wait to see what his future holds. Thank you Emmalene for your dedication & patience with this youngster.

Mackenna L & Blue Bayou brought their A-game to the arena today, riding flawlessly in competitive classes and earning a Reserve Champion in one of her divisions 🏆. This duo just keeps getting more and more solid in their partnership. Mackenna has been putting in extra rides all summer and her hard work paid off in this series. If she could bring him to the Awards Banquet, she would give him a seat at the head of the table! Blue Bayou just turned 4 years old and this duo has some exciting things in store for them! 🙌🐴🙌

Raelynn S and her “numero uno” Americana had a stand out day, collecting a bunch of ribbons for “Team DubbyLynn”. Every show we see marked improvement with this duo and today was spectacular! Raelynn got to move up a division into the Beginner Division, riding with adults and juniors in their first 2 years of riding. This was a big goal and she did it, and did it VERY well! 🙌🙌🙌. Super job!!! 🦄🍎🦄🍎

Shannon K and Americana entered the Silver Stirrup division. Great job getting him to glisten and sparkle- hands down the best turned out horse today. Shannon got to showcase Americana’s Western jog. We think Dublin might like to cross enter more Western classes in his future- great job earning Reserve Champion 🏆 and finishing out the show on a high note!

We look forward to seeing everyone at the banquet on November 1. Thank you to all who work so hard to out on this series.

Creating the next chapter of super ⭐️’s. This year is about developing the young horses on our string. It takes patience, dedication, repetition and grit to make a good horse. Hours and hours having teaching conversations, being patience when the instructions need to be repeated and praises when light bulbs go off! There’s nothing more satisfying than creating a solid equine partner from the beginning.

We believe in a well-rounded approach and exposing our youngsters to different experiences.

Who is looking for a super cool 10 year old air fern that does it all? Black Betty is a grade pony mare that we think is Welsh with a squeak of Hackney bred into her for pulling a cart.

Black Betty may only be 13h but she will take up ALOT of leg. She would be awesome for a small adult or child who loves trail riding, pleasure riding or pulling a cart. She doesnt mind arena work either but has pronarioy been used on trails and driving.

✅ Want a cart pony?- here you go!

✅ Want to ride her English?- she doesn’t care!

✅ Do you like to hack out alone? So does Black Betty.

✅ You can rope off her & push cattle.

13h, 10 years old, UTD, barefoot with a fresh trim 8/18/25. She’s currently turned out with 2 older sheep and makes friends easily. Neat in a stall but prefers to live out. No history of founder or lameness. Very sweet disposition, easy to handle in every way, a pro for the farrier.

Very bottom of Category B. Once she fox hunts with a child 🥕 ‘s increase.

PM if you’re interested. A lot if video available. This one will go fast. More photos in the comments.
