Stand out in the jumper/eq ring with this tall, handsome gentleman! Lex Be Friends is kind, fun to ride, and has exceptional ground manners. 14 years young with appropriate maintenance.
Lexington is 17h and takes up leg very well. He is more of a go ride, is very adjustable, and has lovely changes. Has been used very successfully in IEA competitions. Lex is careful and powerful. Due to his big jump he is not suited for a beginner over fences. He would thrive with a confident teen or adult ammy who wants to have fun and be handy!
He shines in the arena but also loves to get off property for trail rides and cross-country schooling.
On the ground he has a puppy dog personality, but is never pushy. Handleable by tots and grandmas. He stands, loads, bathes, and clips like a dream. He loves to be doted on and is very affectionate.
This guy is ready to be your special friend! Located in Parker, CO. Priced lower-mid 5s. Negotiable to the best home. PM for questions please!

“I will not get upset with you for making a mistake, I’ll be disappointed if you chose to not learn from it.”

Let that one sink in. Coaches: understand the trust that this mentality establishes between you and your students. Students: realize that you’re holding yourself back by fearing making mistakes.

Your perception of mistakes can make or break your mentality as an athlete. Mistakes, by definition, mean something went wrong. We don’t mess up on purpose, we don’t wake up saying “todays the day I get it wrong!” When shortsighted, your mistakes can be devastating. No, you’re not winning the class. Yes, your trainer will give you constructive criticism and it might be uncomfortable but you need to hear it. Long term, this mistake likely won’t matter and you’ve just provided yourself an opportunity to learn to do it better moving forward. You have a chance to ask questions, seek learning. You found a weakness which you can now improve upon. Several potential causes for struggling with mistakes: perfectionism and people pleasing being common. Two big perception takeaways 1) state vs trait. You MADE a mistake (state) you are not MADE OF mistakes (trait). The former is empowering because it gives you room to improve, the latter holds you back because of your self-imposed feeling like a failure. 2) in shutting down when making a mistake, you make yourself uncoachable and inhibit forward movement. Instead of perceiving your mistakes as personal attacks, let down your guard to let in the learning that’s been knocking the whole time

Congratulations to both our riders for another successful year at stock show! Maggie and her horse Ravello returned for her first year as an amateur by taking ribbons in almost all her classes and ending up champion of the amateur 1.0m jumpers and winning the amateur 1.0m jumper stake, as well as stepping into the 1.10m amateur jumpers earning a 6th and 7th out of 16! Laci and her horse Vegas were successful in their first stock show earning themselves a 3rd out of 17 in the junior 1.0m jumpers as well as earning a 4th and 7th in their equitation classes. Well done ladies!!

Available for keeps! Jasper is a young up and coming guy who is very willing to learn and has a heart of gold. At 6 years old, you will not find another guy who is as quiet and forgiving as he is. Spent last year in the .75m jumper ring getting to know the competition routine and this year has been doing awesome in the .85m jumper ring with several champions in his book. He's now got flying changes and could cross over into the equitation ring or hunters. VERY amateur/junior friendly and would love to have a person that he could grow with. Good scope, brave and did I mention a forgiving heart of gold?!? Make a mistake (or 10!) and he'll keep on trucking around for you. The same horse all year round, no spooks, can lead the trail ride, pony babies, unflappable in the warmup ring. Lives in a stall with run but goes in group turnout daily and loves to play but will come running when you call him. You can't all for a friendlier guy! And in a 17h Bay package! Located in Parker, CO

Hey all! Two very kind dogs made our way to facility today. No phone numbers. We have them in a nice shady area, but didn’t want to leave them alone as we are by the road. Please call 7208087104

We are still accepting entries! We have changed the schedule due to numbers. Please note that on Saturday hunters will go first in the South ring followed by jumpers in the North ring.
