The best part to come from the Olympics is I feel like you learn you can pick up something at any age, or any point of your life, and still excel… just because you didn’t do it when you were young, doesn’t mean you can’t become a champion at it later.

And I will make a note that every athlete is just breathtakingly beautiful and I truly believe it’s because they are just glowing with health, happiness, inspiration, and support.

Sooo… in the end do what you love, no matter when you find out what that is! 😎😎❤️❤️

Family vacation image snippet:

Me on my computer randomly saying things like:
“damn that boy be fine”
“Those genes would be complimentary”
“He seems expensive for being unproven”
“I really like how thick his hair is”

Family rushes over hoping to see me on a dating app and wondering what guys I am judging… to only see I am looking at stallion pictures 🤣🤣

Sorry fam to disappoint yet again….

You cannot fear movement.

If you want to ride successfully, train horses with direction, and help the horse think correctly and safely… then you cannot fear movement.

Movement is thought. It is effort.

The CORRECT movement is what you strive for, just any movement will not do.

But movement is always better than stagnation or paralysis (mentally or physically).

Happy to officially state the 2nd black dot of the season is at 28d and a solid heartbeat! This is meant to be a keeper foal, and I am so blessed to have been able to get this mare in my program (who already has one Grand Prix Jumper son under her belt) let alone hopefully get her to term successfully again! She is worth it!!!

It was at the end of a typical 5am show day, I was red faced, sweaty, and frizzy hair galore... but damn it if Bethany P Photography wasn't up for the challenge and NAILED IT. Cruz always falls asleep in my arms when I brush his face, and so I wanted a "candid" of this special moment we have everyday.... I couldn't be more in love with these!!!

The horse world through social media is rapidly changing. And I am not sure if it’s for the better.

Blatant training abuse has been shown lately through videos regarding high end trainers and even Olympian’s.

While I agree this all needs to come to light enough for governing associations to make an actual move towards the better, we can not act like this is “news”. And before I go farther, this is a SERIOUS judging issue. If they are rewarding in the show ring, what would make them want to be better in any way?

But I digress… the reason I fear this montage of abusive videos that have suddenly surfaced is because of the workers: The grooms, the interns, the managers.

This looks bad on them…. If they stand up they are guaranteed to be fired and ostracized, just for doing what is right. And for those who we naive and don’t know or have not been taught any better, they are just following orders.

It also puts fear in them.

Money runs the horse world, no one can deny that. And if people fear the world they work in, they will continue to be submissive above anything else.

So now, through these video posts, the abusers will find ways to be more secretive, more alusive, more creative, and MORE FEARED by employees.

Because let’s be real, these people who are being highlighted have no idea how to actually train a horse, they just know how to force it to do something that the judges can ohhh and awww at.

Again…. It starts at the top. Judging has to change for any positive ripple effect to occur. And through this current trend, let’s keep our fellow horse workers in mind because they are hiding secrets that they can’t speak of.

Interesting article. Of course most of it we know, but for it to be proven through science is always rewarding. Ideal and doable are two very different things, especially when dealing with genders, competition horses, and boarding barns with owners on different time schedules. Some aspects that are suggested in this article that I have always tried to implement are not fully closed off stalls (so horses can at least converse through bars or a window), multiple hay stations in herds, and large enough or multiple sheds for herds.

PS I LOVE totally open barns, especially in the breeding barns!

Cruz has always been just what I ordered, I remember like it was yesterday my conversation with Heather McInerney while he was in-utero. And now he is starting to really come in to his own and filling out so nicely, thanks to the High Point Hanoverians team ❤️ We are so excited for his future and have such big dreams for this little dude!

I used to be one who enjoyed riding ba****ck alllllll the time…. Mostly out of necessity to be fair because I didn’t have a saddle that fit my horses. But then it turned into a comfort zone so to speak, and a way for me to let go and truly enjoy the horse I was riding.

I needed to ride them ba****ck in the past to get this feeling at its biggest high.

That is not the case anymore. I have improved my seat, feel, leg, all of it tremendously to the point where I feel equally comfortable on the ground working a problem vs in the saddle and working it (thanks to actually breaking my back and going back to the basics and being built back up by Kristen Orton… I can never say thank you enough lady, and so much more to improve on!!!).

So anyways I am having trouble with saddle fit yet again, but didn’t want to miss out on riding tonight… so I decided to get on ba****ck for the first time in a long time.

And man was it worth it. Pretty sure I had a smile on my face the whole time. It was proof that my seat and feel HAD actually gotten that much better…. My horse knew every signal the second I thought of it and we were both HAPPY every stride in all gaits.

This is not a brag moment in any capacity, just a moment to remind us all that enjoying our horses on the ground and/or riding is what should make us light up the most, not competition and definitely not what any unsolicited judgement has to say.

Go enjoy your horse(s)!!!! They deserve it 😉

ISO Foxhunting Farm Worker
Glyndon, MD

Looking for someone to be my right hand person at a small private farm (less then 15 horses). Schedule can be flexible for the right person but at least 4 morning shifts (4-5 hours) and 2 evening shifts (1-2 hours) will be required. Approximately 25-35 hours a week depending on the season.

Some riding involved if you wish. Everyone works at the same level, with no one being excused from cleaning stalls, feed, turn in/out, etc.

Need a self starter (some shifts are alone), someone responsible, and the all important RELIABLE aspect. Teachability and communication are big for me. I am happy to train you, but I do need you to be comfortable already around horses and with handling them. If interested, reach out to me! 🙂

This is actually why I do what I do in the horse show world. Don’t get me wrong, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my competitors and I hope they know that…. But truly it’s their young horses that keep my heart beating.

I rarely get to be in the jump chute at my Young Horse Show Series (YHS) shows because I doing managerial aspects, but when I can be, catching is my favorite ❤️

Getting to see these amazing personalities and athletes on the backside of the chute and interacting with them…. It’s the absolute best feeling for me 💕💕

Thank you so much Bethany P Photography for capturing this moment

65 does love his “Inner Balance Therapy” time… he so wanted to doze off but way too many dogs and trailers happening for him to fully succumb, otherwise it was a perfect tens session for one of the best foxhunters around.
