Lovely effort from Alexandra Talach’s Zamora Crown aka Dolly her first week in the 2’3 🤍 this sweet mare has been such a joy to develop from her first show this summer and have in the barn. Big things in this sweet girl’s future!

The most fun first jumper anyone could ever ask for is available to borrow or keep! Caberneigh is a 9yo Irish gelding standing at 16.2. He has exceptional flat work, goes in a rubber snaffle, will cart you or your kid around their first jumper classes, trail ride and ba****ck all day long, and is the easiest boy to have in the barn. Great record through the 1.00, can be produced further or continue getting top ribbons where he’s at. Mid 🖐️ to keep him and low 🖐️ to borrow him.

We are in Wellington this week through Sunday available for trials. Lives in Ocala full time 15 mins from Wec.

Sambuca Q 🥇

I’ve found such joy in learning the hunters over the last 3 years since moving back to the US. I spent minimal time in the hunter ring after growing out of the ponies because I only ever had a jumper as a junior. So, I truly learned the art of the hunter ring as a professional in adulthood and fell in love with it largely due to Mickie Sage Faber. Mickie, I can’t thank you enough for the many lessons you gave me my first year in Ocala on Leo, Puff, and Cashew as I learned how to ride the hunters and the finesse it takes. It has drastically helped my riding overall and I enjoy every second I get to spend developing hunters now from the baby greens to the derbies. Thank you Red Gate Farm Training for the time you spent on Sammy while he was with your program.

From the cross rails to the grand arena to the derbies, there’s just nothing like a WEC winter ❤️ as summer is slowly coming to an end we are getting excited for the busy winter season ahead. We are so grateful to be only 15 mins from WEC so our horses balance their show schedule with relaxing time at home. Winter 2024 brought so many new friends and fostered such an incredible barn family full of camaraderie and support. We are so excited to see what 2025 brings us!

We have very limited seasonal spots available and would love to chat with you to see if our team would be the right fit for you and your horse! Send us a message or a text 720-435-4577 today.

End of circuit available list! All available to be tried at WEC 12 or at my farm 15 mins from WEC.

1. Small green mare. 12.2 8yo. Auto swaps, doesn’t need to see the jumps, kick ride. Will happily take your kid to pony finals this year, just did her green debut with good ribbons at WEC. Highly motivated for a good lease situation for her! (Pictured)

2. Saintly small schoolmaster gelding. Best WT-SS pony ever. As unflappable as they come. Lease or sale possible.

3. Sweet and easy medium SS-division gelding. 13.2 10yo auto swaps, quiet, kind. Low US miles because he spent most of his career in Canada showing before his kid grew out of him. Highly motivated sale or lease, extremely reasonable for the quality of this pony. (Pictured)

4. Kind and easy 3 ring type with recent top ribbons including a championship at WEC in the low adult jumpers and childrens equitation. Successful record to 120 in the states. 8yo 17h, auto changes, soft and light uphill balance. Minimal to no prep for any ring. Lease only.

Knees and ears ⬆️ for Dubai

Jumping in top form in Kentucky last week and galloping around ba****ck in the field today loving his best wild dragon life 🐉🤍

As I was sitting there preparing for the Grand Prix with Dubai on Saturday I was thinking about how things have played out the last few years. It is the time in life where most of my friends from college are getting married, starting to have children, graduating law school or medical school… and I’m still chasing this insane dream. But suddenly I’m starting to realize instead of feeling like I’m behind all my old friends pursuing this seemingly unattainable career… I’m feeling like I’m catching that dream. I’m living it. It hasn’t gotten any easier, it hasn’t gotten any less stressful. I still cleaned stalls that morning. I still braided my horse for the prix… gave him a bath, cleaned my tack. It is just my best friend and me here doing it all. But instead of us running the show and watching the Grand Prix saying “one day,” it is one day. We are living the one day we always dreamed of. It doesn’t get easier, the work doesn’t lessen. But suddenly you find yourself jumping fence 8 of the Grand Prix clear thinking with a sudden realization “oh my god, maybe, just maybe, I do deserve to be right here, right now.” Then you walk out of the ring hugging your horse with your best friend at the back gate. The same best friend that told you you had what it took to pursue this dream. The same best friend that told you to ignore everyone and believe in this horse and yourself… and suddenly you realize you are catching that dream. You realize… if you could do this in 3 years… what can you do in 3 more? The day in and day out doesn’t usually feel momentous. But, eventually, you have a moment where you realize you’re living that one day sooner than you ever thought possible.
