Hi All! This has turned out to be our biggest show of the year with multiple last minute additions. This meant a few tweaks to the schedule so thank you all for your patience. There were also multiple scheduling requests this show and we've done our best to accommodate everyone's requests. There will be multiple arena changes swapping between large and small. If I have missed anyone or there needs to be any corrections please contact me so I can fix! Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday!

MEC is proud to introduce the two newest members of our team. Nataleann Gore and Zachary Herbert. Working under Head Trainer Matthew Baillargeon, Natalie and Zack will allow us to expand our lesson program! If you are interested in information about our lesson program or getting on our schedule, text Matt at 207-939-3384.

Here is a quick introduction from both Zack and Natalie.

Zachary Herbert

I have experience working with young and difficult horses, my first horse was a 4 year old Arab mare that I trained myself. unfortunately last year I had to pull her out of work due to metabolic reasons. I started working with Zeal, a 2011 Hanoverian gelding. He had a past of being difficult to work with, many trainers gave up on him. I worked Zeal for a few months with my trainer Matt Baillargeon, we made great progress and I took him to some Dressage shows and did quite well.
In November of 2023 I moved to Florida. I was a working student for Kyle Carter, an Eventing Olympian for Canada. We worked with Zeal as an eventing prospect. The fourth week of November was the first time Zeal had ever jumped. With many lessons from Kyle, Zeal now has jumped 3’7” . In February of 2024 I started working and riding at a Show Jumping barn for Jenna Friedman-Lopez who was short listed for the Paris Olympic Games. While I was there, I rode many of her horses to keep them in shape and preparing them for the competitions she was entering in.
I have now moved back to Maine. This summer, I am looking to show Zeal in his first Event at Beginner Novice for more exposure. He will be moving up very shortly as he’s been working at the Training level. We are also looking to enter first level in the coming months, working towards our Bronze Medal.

Nataleann Gore

I was so fortunate to be born into horses. I started riding with my parents before I was walking, now I have spent the majority of my life riding and working with horses, I have had the opportunity to ride and train many horses due to my parents program.
My first competitions were english equitation shows, endurance riding, and show jumping events. I started Eventing when I turned 9 years old.
I had an amazing Morgan mare that brought me through to the novice level, sadly I outgrew Dawn.
Now I currently own Landon (Effervescent), a 2006 ISH/Holsteiner gelding that was brought to 4*L by Caroline Martin in 2016. We have been successfully competing at recognized modified level events. I spent the 2021 winter in Aiken S.C as a working student, for Babette Lenna. Winter of 2022 and 2023 I was a student for Karen O’Conner. Over this past winter I worked and rode for Jenna Friedman-Lopez at Oak Ridge Farm. Jenna was shortlisted for 2024 Pairs Olympic Games.
We spend our summers in Maine, working with our Dressage instructor Tosha Zubrisky, on occasion I train with Audrey Bean, and Renae Kachnovich at Sassy Strides Equestrian Center. Now I am currently training under Matt Baillargeon.
Landon is now 18. As he’s getting older I am still Eventing him, although I’m focusing on accomplishing some dressage goals.

This was a difficult week at Meadowbrook. We had to say goodbye by to our sweet Hensley Pearl. Henny came to us having foundered after having a baby. She had severe damage to a coffin bone. We were her soft landing. We did our best to keep her comfortable. She was an absolute joy. She was the therapy donkey - if you were having a bad day she loved to cuddle. She would bray loudly at meal time and we called her the dinner bell. Though this Winter was mild it took its toll. Her pain was no longer controllable and we had to make the most difficult caring decision. We will miss you Henny.
