As of tonight, all of my horses have leased.

I want to thank everyone for their efforts in helping me find great matches so quickly, and I look forward to restructuring the business once I have a grasp of all the recent changes in my life.

I am going to take some time for myself, but I am here if anyone needs me. XO

This is just the beginning…
The completed tasks took just 4 hours today and tomorrow there is a fresh team of help arriving to tackle more.
Additionally, I have 3 people coming to try 4 of my horses for free lease 🤞🏼
You guys were right, and I’m not sure why I ever doubted my strength. 🫶🏼

As some of you know, within the past week, I have said goodbye to the man I loved for 5 years, euthanized the mare who started my surrender program ten years ago and the very next day euthanized a mare I wasn’t ready to give up on.

Yesterday I got up at 530a to get on the treadmill, shower, make breakfast and go to my ft job. I then got home to fix fence, feed horses and clean stalls until 1145p. I laid my head on the pillow feeling accomplished and capable.

Today I have chosen to accept defeat in the best interest of my horses. Mango, who finished her $1,300 EPM treatment about a month ago, was kicked in the knee during turn-in and I believe I will be euthanizing her.

Additionally my property is flooding due to a beaver dam I have no control over.

I am still unable to find someone to repair fence, and will not be able to install all new fencing until the summer weather arrives. (New fencing was scheduled for this past fall, but there were some unexpected life changes.)
If anyone knows of someone who is capable of maintaining my fence, please put me in contact as that is the only service I am currently lacking at my facility in order to continue operating on some level.

In conclusion, due to the current challenges, I have made the decision to free lease the horses I have available through show season (& trail season) 2025. Selling is something I am debating, but as you all know, nothing will pass a PPE as I primarily operate a surrender program.

This is in the best interest of my horses, and I will figure something out, as I always have, but right now I need to relieve myself of some stress.

As for my boarders, I am making changes to the surrender program, my boarding operation is not changing.

I’m not giving up, I’ve made it this far, but I am choosing what I can handle. A few days ago, a student of mine sent a photo of my childhood horse and I reminding me why I fight this hard 🩷

I ask for everyone’s patience with me as I comprehend the loss of “Athena”, my first surrender who started my equine surrender program 10 years ago, and “London”, the red pony mare who held a special place in my heart.

If anyone would like to help in any way, as many have reached out to ask over the past two days, I would love help promoting my available lease horses: Ultimate, Pixar, Newton, Mango, Atlas and Kramer.

Due to changes in my life, I am discounting these leases. Sharing is always appreciated. $1,500 for the first year. (On-farm is available $700/month, but off-farm is preferred)

Newton and this student have been consistently giving me their all and recently took a step back from work o/f to accomplish more on the flat before she graduates and moves back home

Incredible first ride back since his hip injury

My apprentice 🥹 She rehabbed, retrained and successfully showed Quinoa. Picked up where I left off with Pixar’s retraining, after his Cornell trip, when I broke my ankle (she is the one who got him out from behind the vertical and eliminated his rein lameness across the diagonal). Most recently she purchased the horse in this photo. He came into the barn to be her first sale horse, but I knew he would not pass a vet check with his head tossing and back soreness. She purchased him, went through the rehab checklist she has learned from me, and just two months later…I promise your jaws would drop watching him under saddle.
Proud to promote her 🩷

I usually promote my “$10 Winter Weekends” this time of year, but with the new full-time job, I will not be able to offer these clinics.

However, I will be switching my lesson schedule to Saturday & Sunday only (with the exception of the occasional TikTok follower), and would like to encourage my students to take advantage of horse and facility access, during the week, to free ride their lesson horse for $20/ride.

This keeps students actively riding through the winter, and financially helps with the maintenance of their lesson horse.

Message me if you are not already a student and would like to take advantage of this opportunity.

(Offer active from Dec 2024 through May 2025)

I would like Newton or Kramer to pay my $2300 vet bill so I can bring London to Cornell for a follow-up.
Kramer has been a lesson horse for the past 4yrs, while Newton has been rehabbed/retrained by me for a year and a 2’ lesson horse for the past 6 months.
Edit: off-farm lease, not for sale.

Must have an LLC with a release form.

“When hurricane Helene hit at the end of this September, my barn took on not the expected 12 inches of water, but instead 4 feet. If we had not hand-walked eight horses to Eagles Nest Foundation, they would’ve been chest-deep in water for nearly 48 hours”A North Carolina farm impacted by hurricane Helene and how the local equestrian community rallied together to help the horses.

Microphone died, but you guys can imagine I’m ecstatic 🥹

North Carolina hay update 🫶🏼
Have already raised a total of $7,786 between Venmo donations, mail-in donations and two tractor sales:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18TuRsVir8/?mibextid=WC7FNe

$1300 has already been paid to one farmer and I have $1,014 left to raise to pay the other farmer.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who donated and/or shared so CNY could send hay to those effected by the hurricane in NC. It’s one thing to lose everything, but another to lose everything and your horse(s). Fields are underwater and pastures are stripped to mud. We helped their livestock so they could concentrate on themselves.

I will continue to offer paid private evaluations on TikTok and I will find a way to offer my time in exchange for donations here. Until then, thank you all again for continuing to donate what you can.
