I just got to be part of one of the coolest things, ever!

Morgen Brown found her young Clydesdale gelding Diesel a job the Albany Mounted Police department!

These dudes were so cool to meet, are dedicated and educated horsemen and Diesel instantly knew he wanted to be a cop!

The sirens and lights didn’t bother him in the least. He stepped into their trailer and cocked a foot, as if to say “alright, dudes! Let’s go!”

I am so proud of Morgen Brown’s dedication to finding the right fit for her horses. It takes a tremendous amount of knowing one’s self, willingness to listen to the horses and trust in the universe to do this.

Congrats on your new officer, AMPD! We can’t wait to see him in Times Square!

What a wonderful day!

My riders have worked so hard! I always cry tears of pure pride after dressage! It’s a game that so much goes into, and unless you’ve done it, you haven’t done it.

I’m so thankful, for everyone, for every horse.

Thank you to Annemarie de Boer for her endless magic in putting on these shows!

FFS my riders and my horses are just the absolute best there is.

We can’t take showing too seriously. I know others do. Ive been spoken to. Ive watched others Wrap themselves in knots over points and placings and judging and …lord have mercy. Cry. Throw fits. Punish the horses.

My riders have just never been like that. My PEOPLE have never been like that. My riders show for joy. They show for the absolute love of the sport, and for the love of their partners. I know everyone loves their horses, but I’ve never seen horses loved like we love them. Outright love. Pats, kisses, rubs, giggles, smiles, laughing in the classes. And not just for their own selves, for their friends and their friend’s horses.

We cheer for every damn thing. We cheer for other riders we don’t know because they’re doing so great!! We cheer for every little secret win only we know about! The correct lead!!! WWOWOWOW!!!! Every jump! HOT DAMN!! We cheer in dressage! I know…SHOCKED HISSING!!!

We will never shut down the joy. We will never shut down who we are, or do this any other way. I watch families come together, love their kids, love the other kids. Brush and braid hair, PIN numbers, grab lotions and potions, braid their horses and three more while smiling and laughing. Even when things are hard, because lord knows there’s plenty of hard in horses.

We are so damn special. And the winning, even when there’s loads of it, doesn’t come close to all other joy we squeeze out of everything we do.

My other personal unicorn, Ziggy, is also up for HALF, on-farm lease!

This horse of a lifetime came to me this spring and has since established himself as our missing piece we didn’t know we were missing.

Handsome, sweet, kind as they come Ziggy has so much to offer and teach. Schooled through second level, willing and patient, Ziggy is a farm favorite.

My adults schooling up the levels and kiddos learning the first level moves all love this horse.

Ziggy has me remembering how to RIDE and schools second level with me with ease. He doesn’t even roll his eyes when I’m late with an aide.

Due to a career-ending injury that is long since healed (years healed) the Zigster no longer jumps. He is absolutely (no discussion) a dressage mount only.

This handsome devil is very well maintained and is available for half lease as he is so beloved in the program. Ziggy’s lease is a care lease, (half board/feet/maintenance) and he absolutely must remain on farm and in the program.

SIU offers an extensive clinic and lesson schedule as well as an ample show schedule. SIU does not tolerate demanding, entitled, dismissive or general bad behavior well, however we do enjoy cheering, laughing, dark humor, plotting the ill fates of our enemies, spending time together eating junk food and talking s**t.

If we seem like your kind of people, and an upper level schoolmaster is your kind of ride, holler!

My personal unicorn, the magical Meadow, is ready for an easier life than I’m willing to provide her😜

Meadow is looking for a game kiddo who wants to do all the things, or a strong, brave adult with a sense of humor to lease her!

She’s available for on-farm, in-program LEASE only.

Meadow has been extensively schooled and shown. Dressage is not her favorite thing- she’d rather leap a burning building- but it’s so good for her! Ridden by all my kiddos and most of my adults, extensively shown locally in hunter and dressage shows, schooled cross country, taken on trail rides, hauled to lessons/clinics- she and I have done it all.

Meadow is well (VERY well) maintained and can continue to live the life of a 2’6- 2’9 packer. She is 18 and unable to go higher any more. She doesn’t have a lead change because I don’t need her to have one. She doesn’t peak or chip.

Meadow is best suited for a gritty rider with a sense of humor that’s not afraid to work hard. At 17’2, 1500lbs, she’s not for the faint of heart.

This is a care lease- board, shoes and maintenance. SIU offers an extensive clinic and lesson schedule. Our show schedule is equally extensive. We do not handle drama, entitlement, dismissive or demanding behavior well, but do excel at swearing, laughing, cheering and spending time as a group eating junk food and plotting the ill fates of our enemies.

If we sound like your kind of people, and Meadow seems like your kind of girl, holler😁
