With deep sadness, we share that we lost our long time mascot last night. Moo was the best barn cat that anyone could ask for. (Well unless you wanted a mouser, that wasn’t his thing.) I met moo back in 2010 when the program was just getting its toes wet. He was there when we moved barns looking for our perfect home, watched horses and clients come and go, and walked me home every night in the dark. He’s sat in the lap of everyone he’s met and let any kid carry him around however they wanted to. He was the kindest soul and we will all miss him terribly. Rest easy old friend 💙

Happy Father’s Day to all our amazing dads!!!

BY GORDON BALLANTYNE I have been immersed in the horse world for over a decade now with the enthusiasm of a reluctant participant dosed with an innate, heavy level of natural skepticism. My wife is a hunter and equitation rider, which only heightens my confusion due to the subjectivity of the events...

05/26/2023

We are so excited to officially launch our new Tavola Farm brand 🌟 I can’t thank everyone enough for your support as we begin this new venture! Nobody is as excited as Koko with her new Tavola cookies thanks to 🍪

Such a great first PJHSA show of the season! We brought 18 horse and rider combinations and I couldnt have been more impressed with the new riders, green horses, already established partnerships, and riders moving up into new divisions!

Thank you to Laura and the whole crew at Heritage Hill for a great day and all the extra help at the end of the show when one of our lessons horses at home started feeling yucky. It truly takes a village!

Huge thank you to Amanda dietz for having all 18 horses looking their best, running home to nurse duties, and constantly keeping everything under control and running smoothly all day!

And Chris Knight, you never get enough credit for being the husband that never wanted horses and is always willing to do everything for them. Thank you for getting to the horse show so I could speed home and getting all the horses home safely. We all appreciate you so much!

Up next 🔜 IEA NATIONALS!
