Frenchie's Prospect, 15.3h
Frenchie's Prospect is a 2012 mare who raced until 4, retired sound, and stood in a field for several years. She was purchased and re-started, and is ready for her own person!
Frenchie does have a motor but is easy to ride. Bold to the jumps, she would excel in the hunter, jumpers, or eventing world.
Frenchie knows basic lateral work and has schooled up to 2'3 with plenty of scope for higher.
Goes in a snaffle, loads well, has good ground manners, and is neat in her stall. Recommended for a intermediate rider in a program at minimum.
Medical history: Unknown at purchase, Frenchie had contracted EPM and recovered. She had a flare-up in 2023 and was successfully treated and has had no further issues. She has a scar from a kick wound high on the left hind.

Things your riding instructor wants you to know:
1. This sport is hard. You don't get to bypass the hard…..every good rider has gone through it. You make progress, then you don't, and then you make progress again. Your riding instructor can coach you through it, but they cannot make it easy.

2. You're going to ride horses you don't want to ride. If you're teachable, you will learn from every horse you ride. Each horse in the barn can teach you if you let them. IF YOU LET THEM. Which leads me to…

3. You MUST be teachable to succeed in this sport. You must be teachable to succeed at anything, but that is another conversation. Being teachable often means going back to basics time and time and time again. If you find basics boring, then your not looking at them as an opportunity to learn. Which brings me to…..

4. This sport is a COMMITMENT. Read that, then read it again. Every sport is a commitment, but in this sport your teammate weighs 1200 lbs and speaks a different language. Good riders don't get good by riding every once in awhile….they improve because they make riding a priority and give themsevles opportunity to practice.

5. EVERY RIDE IS AN OPPORTUNITY. Even the walk ones. Even the hard ones. Every. Single. Ride. Remember when you just wished someone would lead you around on a horse? Find the happiness in just being able to RIDE. If you make every ride about what your AREN'T doing, you take the fun out of the experience for yourself, your horse, and your instructor. Just enjoy the process. Which brings me to...

6. Riding should be fun. It is work. and work isn't always fun.....but if you (or your rider) are consistently choosing other activities or find yourself not looking forward to lessons, it's time to take a break. The horses already know you don't want to be here, and you set yourself up for failure if you are already dreading the lesson before you get here.

7. You'll learn more about horses from the ground than you ever will while riding. That's why ground lessons are important, too. If you're skipping ground lessons (or the part of your lesson that takes place on the ground), you're missing out on the most important parts of the lesson. You spend far more time on the ground with horses than you do in the saddle.

8. Ask questions and communicate. If you're wondering why your coach is having you ride a particular horse or do an exercise, ask them. Then listen to their answer and refer to #3 above.

9. We are human beings. We make decisions (some of them life and death ones) every day. We balance learning for students with workloads for horses and carry the bulk of this business on our shoulders. A little courtesy goes a long way.

Of all the sports your child will try through their school years, riding is one of 3 that they may continue regularly as adults (golf and skiing are the others). People who coach riding spend the better part of their free time and much of their disposable income trying to improve their own riding and caring for the horses who help teach your child. They love this sport and teaching others…..but they all have their limits. Not all good riders are good coaches, but all good coaches will tell you that the process to get good is not an easy one.

The horses are so grateful to our wonderful students and their families. All the tags from the giving tree were taken and tags were returned with presents in tow for our wonderful school horse horses. Thank you all for supporting the wonderful horses that teach you how to ride. They deserve everything we can give them, and you just made their Christmas very happy

Riders all came home with good ribbons and we absolutely had a blast.

Silent Run IEA in the books! Everyone rode well and learned, and most importantly, we all had FUN! Yes, we may have dumpster-dived for flowers but there was so much laughter while doing so.

Thanks Silent Run Farm for a great IEA show! Today went great with lots of friendship and sportsmanship, and ended with dumpster diving for plants and tons of camaraderie!! I love this team!!

Horse training, horseback riding, all the same. Build your basics before trying the ‘really neat stuff’. If you can’t bend, you won’t leg yield. If you can’t leg yield, you can’t do flying changes.

"Advanced training is just the basics done really well." - Ken Ramirez

"Training often fails because people expect way too much of the animal and way too little of themselves." - Bob Bailey

"Please just do your homework." - Fred
