High Quality Photos and some still shots from the video of the obstacle challenge Michelle Thomas and I did (Furi and I won 👑😝)

I love how much fun Furi and I are having together. She’s game for anything.

This was our horse show prep. No schooling ride - just playing on the playground.

Thank you MH Performance Horsemanship for a great day!

Made the trek back to Vienna after I got Furi settled at home for my student Amy Herbert and her horse Orion.

This is a tricky, insecure horse and Amy piloted Orion around tactfully today - gaining another positive outing!

Great riding Amy!

08/18/2024

Another successful outing with Furi today showing at Vienna Farm!

So proud of her!

Equally proud of Leslie Elston and her horse Benny, who tied with us!

Great morning 🙌🏻

I couldn’t be more proud of my beautiful mare. We’ve had a couple of off farm trips over the last week - and today we entered into Hidden Brook Farm’s schooling show.

We showed Training 2 for a 72.06% and Training 3 for a 74.8%

Both tests had small bobbles - but we’ve only been a team for a short time and I know she will continue to flourish with more time and strength.

I am so proud of all of my students today. I love to teach and coach just as much as I love to ride. To share their success and gains is so rewarding.

Thank you Hidden Brook for running a great show as always and to Carol Poulin Taylor for her fair but kind judging!

Furiosa 😍

07/21/2024

Lost for words - so it took me a long while to put this together after this mornings ride. My best Grand Prix test to date. Beyond thankful to my amazing partner, Freddy. He has taught me so many lessons - in and out of the saddle. He constantly keeps me humble, keeps me on my toes.

Today, I rode my tails off 😉😂- and I feel like I’m becoming a real Grand Prix rider.

Thank you to my long time coach, Susanne Hamilton, for her guidance. So grateful to have you ring side.

JGR Saddlefit and Aviar - Joan, thank you for believing in me when I was just branching out into my professional career as a rider and trainer. I appreciate your knowledge, generosity, and friendship more than you know 🙌🏻

Dr Christine Cormier - you have been able to help manage this massive horse and keep him going, which is no small task.

Cassidy Bedard, I know he is so tricky to shoe, with some funky feet, but we are so lucky to have you in our corner.

Freedom PEMF - Freddy always feels so supple after his sessions. So grateful 🙌🏻

Dr. Paul Perreault - You have became such an important part of Freddy’s life. He always feels so great after his chiropractic sessions. I’m not sure who enjoys them more, Freddy or I. 😬

Bumpus Farm/Poulin Grain - thank you for the support. Keeping this horse fueled is no small task. 😵‍💫

To my students and friends that came to watch and support me. I appreciate you!

To the Meadowbrook crew, thank you for taking care of this monster day in and day out. I appreciate all the love and support my barn family gives.

To Mason & Tyler, the best grooms I could ever ask for. Thank you

We are officially qualified for Region 8 Championships! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations to Jess and Secret for securing her 1st level scores needed for her USDF Bronze Medal. I get just as much enjoyment, if not more, watching you succeed Jess. I am so proud of you 👏🏻 You are the kind of student every trainer wishes to have.

07/20/2024

Proud of my boy. Our last show was 9 months ago and we definitely shouldn’t go that long without showing again.

Some good moments, some not so good, and of course things wouldn’t be complete without a nice big spook.

Grateful to the LAR crew for all their efforts to make this show happen. So much work. The Maine Dressage community is so lucky to have this venue.

Thank you to Lendon and D4K for allowing me the opportunity to have Freddy! 🙌🏻

Congratulations to my student Jess and her horse Secret, who have worked so hard and earned their first bronze medal score today! Secret is a 20 year old Saddlebred/Arab and Jess has worked so hard to teach him the ropes of what being a dressage horse is all about.

Looking forward to day two ✌🏻💪🏻👌🏻

Riding Gossip right before I left for my trip (and before the big heat wave)

So thankful to have this special horse in my life. She made such a statement in my career with so many career highlights.

Grateful for the role I’ve been able to play in helping her mom, Emily, with her.

UPDATE: CLINIC FULL WITH A WAIT LIST - PLEASE MESSAGE TO GET YOUR NAME ON THE LIST

Versatility Clinic with Megan Harmon of MH Performance Horsemanship

Saturday August 17th

Hosted at Meadowbrook Equestrian Center

Cost: $165.00 per participant

We will have a morning session and an afternoon session.

Please contact me to sign up! Deposit required to hold spot.

This clinic will focus on how to maneuver an obstacle course both in hand and under saddle. We will work on some body control maneuvers and relate those to navigating the various obstacles. As the clinic progresses the obstacles increase in difficulty. During the course navigation we will work at a pace and in a way that encourages your horse to stay relaxed and feel confident!

These clinics are lots of fun! Come try something new and learn with your horse in a laid back and supportive environment!

Freedom

There aren’t enough words to describe my love for this animal. When my life was dark - he brought me hopes and dreams.

Today, he continues to make my wildest dreams come true.

I am forever grateful to him

Riding Gossip right before I left for my trip (and before the big heat wave) So thankful to have this special horse in my life. She made such a statement in my career with so many career highlights. Grateful for the role I’ve been able to play in helping her mom, Emily, with her.

One Year Ago Today Freddy was on the table for colic surgery. I’ve held my breath a little bit every day praying to make it one year post op. Every single day is a gift with this horse and he’s changed my life on so many levels. So grateful for every moment spent with him. It’s quite miraculous how much he fought and how hard he tried. To earn me my gold medal and compete Grand Prix exactly 203 days post opt 🤯 🙌🏻

She was whinnying in her sleep, with her head resting in my lap, but we didn’t catch that on camera. I love nothing more than these moments with my horses. I’m so thankful to have the most personable, happy, horses.

Lucky to have my child’s horse, Zylan, to use as a schoolmaster in my program! Zylan has been with me for a good portion of his life. He schools much of the 3rd level work and has recently begun playing around with the flying changes again, which is something he hasn’t schooled in many years! I have a few open spots coming available in my schedule this winter, after having a waitlist for quite some time! Message me here FMI

2023, Thank you for all the lessons. 2024, I am ready. Looking forward to a new year with my clients and horses. I’ve recently been asking myself, now that I have my gold medal, what’s my next goal? Happy New Year!

Gossip and I training in Wellington, FL Winter 2020 The first clip is from a ride with Steffen Peters and the second is from a ride with Oded Shimoni. I received the Dressage4Kids Christian Kennedy Young Adult Scholarship which afforded me these opportunities. Gossip is a Percheron x TB Mare owned by my friend Emily Aylward. I was lucky to have the ride on her for a few years. Gossip moved to Meadowbrook this Spring! It’s been really fun to have things come full circle and be able to teach Emily on her (and have the occasional training ride 😎) https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Dressage4Kids-Announces-Recipient-of-D4K-Christian-Kennedy-Young-Adult-Scholarship.html?soid=1101199500144&aid=89mIEpbkSe8 #SendMeBackSaturday

Donarwine HHF and I training with Michael Poulin this fall. Meadowbrook Equestrian Center hosted Mr. Poulin for a Fall clinic and I participated on both Freedom and Donarwine. This was a one tempi exercise Mr. Poulin had us do to increase the size and jump of his changes.
