Join us next weekend for a multi-discipline clinic with Betty Ortlieb..... While Betty has been a dressage judge for our USEA area 8 region for years, she’s also experienced in riding and teaching eventers and gaited horses. Great for western dressage riders or barrel racers just wanting to fine tune their form and getting the most control out of their horse’s body. Betty is also very well versed in the hunter world. Great for competition or trail horses and riders, and ALL skill levels are welcome! Don't have a horse to use? We've got you covered, just shoot us a message. If you've ever wanted to try something different like dressage or jumping, now's your chance. Betty is fantastic it starting you off in the right direction with her encouraging disposition and supportive outlook. Let's have some fun!
Located just 5 minutes from Camp Landing and I64 in Ashland, Kentucky!

10 Points to life we are going to live by from today forward:

1. Life waits for nobody, get up every day and keep pushing through no matter what.

2. Make sure you take care of yourself, if something happens to you the world will move on and you will fall behind.

3. If you don't work to build your dream life someone will hire you to build theirs.

4. Work in silence, celebrate in private. People love to ruin things.

5. Don't regret your past, just learn from it and move on.

6. No one cares, work harder to become better each day.

7. Ignore advice from anyone who doesn't live the life you want to live.

8. Rule over your emotions, a calm mind can handle any situation.

9. If you find someone better than you, don't hate, ask them for advice and cooperate with them.

10. You are truly at peace with yourself when you mind your own business.

We are working with a few other individuals to attempt and save this family of Amish horses who are being sold directly to a kill buyer Tuesday if we fail.... we desperately need help, these babies have worked their entire lives and don’t deserve what’s about to happen to them

We are also offering sponsorship spots from businesses or individuals willing to give, this will include a spot on the back of our fundraiser t-shirts, banner and tag in every post update on them as well as advertisement from us.

Bail for all will be around $4500

I’m sure you all have seen the post all over fb..... these horses and mini mule have w… Dawn Holland needs your support for Urgent: Help Save the Amish Horses

I’ve got to give a shout out to my kids..... starting with Allison Jackson....

I won’t lie, when Allison first got Dartiga I was very skeptical of a fresh off the track 3 year old to pair her with, but she has made me eat my words and with only a few months of training board these two are already hitting their stride. This was a BIG move up from her lesson horses, but I’m now seeing a girl in love with her beautiful gray. She’s fully invested in learning everything she can on how to handle and manage a hotter horse and she’s going to teach her SO much. The future is so bright with these two. I’m grateful to David M Jackson and Rebecca Britt Jackson for trusting me to teach this pair

Show season 2024 kicked off this weekend and began a little rougher than we planned or wanted but finished out better than we could’ve hoped..... It started with a shredded tire not long after we left with the first load, and it was a true all hands on deck moment as before I could even jump out Ashley had pulled in behind me and had the jack out getting ready to change the tire, Olivia immediately started moving traffic around us and out of nowhere a gentleman appeared in a golf cart seeing that we were having some struggles and decided to change it for us and within 20 minutes we were back on the road. After Friday nights test rides and practice Saturday began to take form and what a day it was and a true testament to all the students hard work from over the winter months of busting their butts to prepare for this. It was a weekend of 14 horses, 11 students, 27 rides and 13 riders

* AnnaKayt Sunderland on her American quarter horse mare Ember finished in their first ever combined test in the Greenie division to complete their weekend

*Delaney Childers on POA It’s A Wonderful Life “Pepper” finished fifth in their first ever combined test on a double clear around in the greenie division

*Connor Holland and his paint pony Tuff Stuff “Tuff” Completed their weekend in the starter division in their first ever combined test.

* Kayde Russel and the paint mare Dark Waters “Neptune” finished their weekend on a double clear around in the Greenie division in their first ever combined test.

*Dawn Holland and her OTTB Defensible “Pappy” finished their weekend in their first ever combined test in the Greenie division as well as the WDAA Intro 1 division

*Leah Sunderland and her American quarter horse Scott’s Sunny Girl “Jett” finished their weekend and completed the starter division in their first ever combined test

*Katrina Dunlap and Arabian Nadir Qadiis “Mando” Finished in third place in the Greenie division in their first ever combine test

*Allison Jackson and OTTB Dartiga “Tiga” finished in second place on a double clear in their first ever combined test in the greenie division

*Ashley Williams and her OTTB When Th Cat’s Away “Cat” Finished their weekend on a double clear in the greenie division combined test as well as the USDF Intro test B class

*Poppy Givins and Appaloosa Colors Of The Wind “Dunbar” finished their first ever combined test on a double clear in the PreGreenie Division in 3rd place

*Lorelai Dunlap and Hackney Pony Melbourne’s Classic Headline “Elvis” completed their first ever dressage show in the lead line WDAA Intro 1 class to bring home a pretty green ribbon!

*Olivia Clark and her loved and cherished ASB mare Touch Of Tiffany SRF “Angel” brought home third place after a gritty stadium round that only she could’ve pulled off and probably her best dressage test to date in the starter division.... she also worked her butt off all weekend to help me

*As for me, I suppose my ride in the stadium ring of the starter division combined test with Taylor Island appeared to be more wild than I thought, what felt like his normal behavior to me apparently seemed nuts to everyone else. He brought home third place on his dressage score after a double clear. An Indiana Night never ceases to impress me acting as if she’s been doing this her entire life finishing in fifth place after blazing around the starter division show jumping ring.

This weekend was a testament as to who we are as a family, not just a business of riding horses and showing. We help each other through the worst things, it’s far more than just a lesson barn and learning to ride horses. We celebrated Kayde’s 15th birthday as well as Angel’s 20th birthday, David broke out the Blackstone grill with Matt to cook out and continue the festivities. Matt took the initiative of fixing my tire on my trailer after he noticed some abnormalities with it. Everyone just jumps in around here and takes care of each other. The photos here are yes of the competition teams, but you’re also see the mom hugging the son before he rides, The trainer praying with the student after the mom said it helps calm her nerves, the kids and their friendships. I have always wanted this team to be different I hope God continues to bless this group in the coming years

You know.... as a barn we may not be the most elite, we may not have ALL of the knowledge to excel in one specific discipline, we may be a little run down here and there and we may not have top dollar show horses..... we are far from perfect.... but when you receive a text from your teenage student that they know you’ve been going through a lot and they are praying for you.... man, in my opinion, that’s already the highest level of success, and those are the qualities I want to come learned out of my barn, and want us to be known for. Not how many classes we’ve won, what the scoreboard says, what level we are or how fancy our place is..... magical and blessed things are coming through this barn.... my friends, with this kind of attitude we cannot lose, because we’ve already won.

“The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 37:23-24
