Come learn more about the sport of fox hunting with a Camargo Hunt field hunter clinic!

Our first clinic focuses on riding safely in the open and over fences as part of a group. You’ll learn about etiquette, and experience a traditional stirrup cup and bring-to-share lunch. If you’re a fox hunter this is a great opportunity to brush up on your jumping! Casual and welcoming environment; all ages welcome.

Lease horses are available, but be sure to sign up soon!

We’ve auditioned quite a few new barn cats recently, and Gertrude has eagerly embraced her new responsibilities. 🐈‍⬛

She’s rarely seen without a mouse in her mouth, or in her pursuit. 🐁

In an effort to encourage her to continue with her efforts, we’ve awarded her the coveted Honey Tree Stables Employee of the Month award! 🏆

Bob - who has been serving faithfully for years, is grateful for the help, and her support. 😊

On July 15th, two of our special Honey Tree Stables horses are celebrating birthdays! 🎂

Happy Birthday to Jazz, who turns 23 today, and is still going strong with her new riding partner Kyndall Jones. 🙌🏼

And Happy Birthday to Harry O, who turns 11 today. We remember him back when he was black and white all over, instead of gray. It happens to all of us Harry! 😉

Lainey and Zuri had their best showing to date in a very competitive field of 33 beautiful horses, and posted scores of 86 in the first round, and 82 in the Handy round.

This is the size of many of the fences at the Mexico Olympics, 1968. It must be remembered that Stroller (the 14.1hh pony) with Marion Coakes (later Marion Mould) medalled here.
Only two riders cleared this fence - one was Australian Kevin Bacon on Chichester and the other a Brazilian rider.
(Reposted here to show what Snowbound and Stroller jumped, in a story on the Mexico showjumping gold and silver medalists)

Congratulations to Honey Tree Stables’ riders Gabrielle Grow and Elaina C. Davis on a great showing at the World Equestrian Center Ohio Winter Classic #11 last week!

Gabby and Sweeter Than Honey ended the week as Reserve Champion in the Large Green Pony Hunter 2’9” Division, and placed first in the Pony Hunter Classic. Gabby and Honey also qualified for 2023 Pony Finals, which will be held in August at the Kentucky Horse Park! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Lainey and No Worries (Zuri) started off their 2023 show year on a great foot, with nice placings in all of their classes, among a very competitive field of 3’ Hunters.

We’re so proud of Gabby and Lainey, and look forward to more great results, as well as lots of fun, when we return to WEC next month!

Congratulations to Annala Fricke and Mr. Willoughby on a fantastic show year (thus far) with Sarah Oelerich and Honey Tree Stables!

Annala and Willoughby qualified for Medal Finals this past weekend at Country Heir, and continued to grow their partnership with some great rounds.

They were Reserve Champions in the Intermediate Children’s Hunter 2’6” Division, and also placed 3rd in the OHJA Hunter Classic, out of a large field of quality horses!

We’re so proud of Annala, and our home-grown Willoughby, and we can’t wait to see more of what they’ll accomplish in the future!

Some days, horse shows be like… 🥰

But when it’s time to put their game faces on, an HTS’ No Worries know how to get it done. 🏅

Wishing them the best of luck this weekend at World Equestrian Center Midwest Indoors! 🙌🏼

Congratulations to the Honey Tree Stables’ team on a great showing at the World Equestrian Center Ohio Midwest Indoor show last week!

We’re so proud of:

🏅Briana Ancalmo & HTS’ Cabernet

🏅Lainey Davis & HTS’ No Worries

🏅Annala Fricke & One Last Laugh (owned by Rachel McKinney)

🏅Gabby Grow & HTS’ Sweeter Than Honey

🏅Haley Jackson & HTS’ Skye’s The Limit

All of our riders, horses, and their families had fun, grew in their partnerships, and took home lots of ribbons!

11/14/2021

Home Tree Stable’ horses and riders aren’t the only ones bringing home ribbons! 😉

Congratulations to Paisley for bringing home 2nd place in tonight’s dog race at The World Equestrian Center! 🥈🎉

Anyone who has seen Paisley run to find Sarah knows that she was the favorite to win this race. 🐩💨

Now that she knows how racing works, she won’t hold back at the start next time.

She’s gotten the taste of winning 💵, so watch out! 😉

Tuesday night lessons at Honey Tree Stables. 😊

After some flatwork, Sarah laid out some challenging Jumper courses for everyone to try, and we finished with a jump-off to demonstrate the importance choosing the most efficient track, versus focusing solely on speed.

Everyone laid down some great courses, and showed lots of guts!

The final winners of the jump-off were Gabby and HTS’ Gideon, riding in their first lesson together! 🐎💨

We had a great time at Windfall Farm Horse Shows this past weekend!

Congratulations to Elaina Davis and Gabrielle Grow for winning both of the Windfall Farm Equitation Medal classes, and to our entire team, including Annala Fricke and Kady Carmack, who also took home a huge haul of blue and Championship ribbons!

This week, our 2021 foal - Lenny [bay pinto / c**t, HTS’s Ishmael x Clara] - born on April 8th, was successfully weaned.

Lenny has taken this new development in stride, and has been enjoying a big stall all to himself next to his mom. They’ve both been calm and stress-free about the whole process. 👍🏼

Today, Lenny went on his first solo walkabout with Sarah outside, on a halter and lead rope. He also got a bath, and came into the indoor arena for some quick exposure training, and a little groundwork.

He did great! 🎉

Very little stress response being away from mom for the first time, and he was a Champ in the wash stalls. He did have to show a little independent streak, but he trusted Sarah enough to investigate the mounting block, a jump, and even the empty liverpool!

He’s yet another stunning Ishmael foal, and we can wait to see what his future holds! 🙌🏼

We're so proud of Sarah Oelerich and the Honey Tree Stables' horses and team!

This past weekend at the 80th Camargo Hunter Trials, Honey Tree swept the ribbons in the hunt field. Sarah and HTS' Raphael (Ralphie) were winners of the 3' Hunter Derby, Briana Ancalmo and HTS' Cabernet (Cappy) were pinned the winners of the 2'6" Hunter Derby, and Sarah and Briana were the winners of the Hunter Pairs Class.

This annual event is especially meaningful to Sarah, when after starting her riding career at five years old, she became the youngest rider ever to receive a scholarship to ride with the Camargo Fox Hunt at the age of eight! She also won the Pairs class back in 2004 (check them out in the collage photos below), with Raphael's grandmother Jasmine, who was Sarah's junior Hunter, and one of Honey Tree's foundation broodmares.

Congratulations to Sarah and Briana, and to the The Camargo Hunt for another wonderful event. We can't wait to return next year!

The Honey Tree Stables Team is at Country Heir Horse Shows this weekend for Medal Finals, and plenty of fun and learning opportunities for our horses and clients!

Sarah Oelerich and Honey Tree’s Mint Julip started off the weekend with a first place in the .80 meter Jumpers.

It’s so amazing to see Sarah and one of her first home-bred horses still going strong, and in winning form! ♥️ 🥇
