"No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle."
- Winston Churchill
An equine training and lesson facility for hunters, jumpers, and equitation riders.
Thank you Mary-Cameron for an amazing clinic today. We all learned a lot and have goals to reach before next time.
A special thanks to the 11 riders that participated and the others that just came out to support them. Also, it was great meeting some of the new riders and their mothers today.
And of-course, thank you Morgan, for continuing to provide opportunities for your riders to learn and grow!
Before leaving for college, Emiliana came to say her goodbyes. Go do BIG things EM!! We are so excited for you and look forward to seeing you again soon. ❤️
Welcome to our equestrian family Carly!
We are excited to welcome Savannah and Maren to our equestrian family this month. We are also extremely excited to see both of our farms continued improvements. We have a long way to go, but look at this dramatic change in four months. Thankful for our continued blessings of growth and progress!
"The very busy Morgan Mickel".....loved this announcer and always love watching you ride. It was a tremendous week at WEC! I cannot wait to return. Thank you to all of the families that competed with us and made this such a special year.
When your trainer is featured on the Jumbotron at WEC.....🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
We spent a week at WEC. Like most things in life, it usually has its best and worst moments. This year was not any different.
Yet this year, Courtney, from Legend Lessons and Lexy Gibbs from Magnolia Farms joined us. Courtney and her rider competed. Lexy drove down to support us and help out Morgan since she had 10 horses at the show. One rider even joined us from a different farm to show so that she could hang out with her friends.
Even though we compete against these three farms, we all encourage each other and work together. Without competition, there wouldn't be any opportunities to show. Other trainers from our area also reached out or commented and wished us luck this week. One checked on us almost daily. Most farms always congratulate us when we do well and console us when we don't have a great show. It's important for the riders to see the trainers supporting each other so that they feel comfortable forming friendships, even when they don't ride at the same facility. If you don't practice good sportsmanship, then you ruin the experience for these individuals that work so hard.
I want to thank everyone that helped make this show so much fun, even when things didn't go well. These smiles say it all, the ribbons were just a bonus. And trust me.....it took me MANY years to recognize this.

A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.
Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.
Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.
The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.
The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.
If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.
Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders 🐎❤🐎
WEC PREP!
Please help us welcome Kase and Eli to our equestrian family. It is exciting to have some adults beginning to take lessons. These two riders are siblings. ❤️ What a great way to spend a morning together!
Ribbons are lovely mementos and symbols, but be careful... when you allow ribbons to tell you if you have done a good job, then their absence will try to tell you that it was bad. And that is never the whole story.
Although one mistake can deny you a ribbon, one mistake cannot negate the positive growth, teamwork and joy that exists in every single ride. Always carry your own goals and progress closest to your heart.
💙💗💙
It was a beautiful morning for lessons. Happy Heavenly Birthday Hunter!
Early morning ba****ck lesson ❤️💕❤️
Everyone has been riding SO good this week. I drove up to Morgan's the other day and was thrilled to see such a fantastic round.
Morgan has been super happy and excited with all of the girl's progress this summer. Thanks for putting in the effort for your kids and getting them to lessons. It shows! These 7 am lessons have definitely helped some with the heat.
We would like to welcome Kaci, Norah, and Dominey to our equestrian family this month!
We are going to miss Savanna! We hate that you live so far away, but we look forward to your visit at Christmas and of course next summer!!!
We have had a wonderful few weeks in July...even though it's been scorching. We hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as we have this year.
Happy 4th everyone!
Tomorrow is our first day of summer camp. We are excited to see everyone. Your gift baskets are ready and waiting for pick up upon arrival. We look forward to making some amazing memories!
Thank you Samuel Bornino for dragging our arena this morning. It looks fantastic!
Thank you Eric for getting our horses hooves trimmed and Morgan for handling everything this morning while we were at rehab.
It was a wonderful day spent with wonderful people!
It was a great day for a mom and me lesson. ❤️
We welcomed Savanna and Morgan to our equestrian family this week, and Allie, Téya, Kai, and Taylin this month.
July is right around the corner. We are getting ready for more trail rides, summer camp and WEC!!
Finally making progress again at both farms after two months of focusing on Brayden and reorganizing our priorities. Family first and always, but it's great to see things happening again. Beautiful job Sam and Morgan!
Great lesson this morning Ashlynn! We are so proud of your hard work and dedication. You are getting stronger with every ride! That leg ❤️💕❤️... it's getting to be so still.

This baby has worked SO hard since she was barely 3 years old. She even volunteers to help with her very dedicated mom on barn work days and hangs with the older girls. She also spends the entire day at the show to help take care of her pony, and those are LONG days. Today, on her mom's birthday, she trotted SOLO for the first time around the arena. I love my job! Great work Morgan Mickel and a huge shout out to the very best beginner pony, Jasmine! Way to go Balenci! ❤️ Keep up the hard work!
Welcome Teya and Kai to our equestrian family!
Great morning for early lessons to beat the heat! It's going to be a hot day. Stay hydrated and be safe.
Last week, when we were all being hit by the terrible storms, our jumps took a beating. It seems that everyone's life is so hectic these days, we had no idea how we were going to get them ready for lessons. One very special dad came out and put almost every jump back together. I am certain that this man's schedule is just as hectic as ours, if not worse this time of year, since he is a Blue Angel pilot. To say I was star struck is an understatement. I have so much respect for the military, but the Blue Angels..... 😍😍😍 it gives me chills watching them fly with such precision and skill. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you SO much!! It really meant a lot to us and to all of the riders that you took time out of your day to help us.
We sure have missed you Miranda. You went and got all grown up and married, but you haven't lost your skills. It's so great to see you back in the saddle and looking as fabulous as ever!!!
This will be a pair to watch next year. Like 😍😍😍😍 what???
While Morgan was at career day talking to an elementary school class about her profession as a trainer, the girls had a little fun!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I always look forward to all of the videos and photos everyone sends me. ❤️❤️❤️ our farm family!
We are so excited about this pairing!! Great job Courtney on finding such a fantastic horse!! Morgan said he was a dream to ride. ❤
We now have celebrities out at the farm
