Proud of these kids and these ponies once again!

The Zielinski sisters got some great placings atop Tied In Knots. Miriam’s hard work at home getting her diagonals is finally paying off at shows and Olivia got some top placings in the poles division, taking home a gift card to !

CC displayed some terrific horsemanship this weekend! Her pony got a stone bruise the day before the show, so after only 20 minutes of practicing together, CC piloted She’s A Keeper around the walk/trot/poles divisions and got some good placings.

Thank you once again for a great show at Fence this past weekend!

We had a blast hosting Kristin Coker from Wild Roots Horsemanship, LLC for a ground work clinic this weekend! Kristin started one of our warmblood fillies this spring and gave her such a fabulous foundation, we had to have her back for more. The focus was on drive vs draw, instilling confidence, and becoming a better partner to our horses. Thank you Kristin for coming out this weekend! Stay tuned for another ground work clinic in the future. 😁

Such a fun group at the show yesterday!

Nora and She’s A Keeper put down some terrific rounds in the walk/trot, including a first place in the w/t poles under saddle.

Julia and Zippo’s Kryptonite showed some resilience and got some good placings in the w/t under saddle classes.

Paige and Legendary dabbled in the crossrails and 18” and gave this young horse some great schooling rides, earning them some good placings.

Findley and Tied In Knots put down some good trips in the crossrails and were wtc division champions!

Long day and lots of hard work! Practice makes progress as a few of my awesome kiddos say. Thank you to the parents, ponies and show series’s that make these fun days possible!

Great show this past weekend for some of our redheaded steeds!

CC Gambrell attended her very first show ever aboard her Fairytale Ending and pulled some great ribbons in the walk/trot ground poles division in a tough crowd! So proud of this kid and her pony!

Kirsten Porter-Stransky came to school and came home with the blue in their flat class! Her Maserati is a youngster she has been developing and they came away with some great over fences rides.

Congratulations ladies! Thank you for putting on a great schooling show!

A post about this adorable pair!

Findley’s very first time cantering at a show and she and Tied In Knots put down some great trips in the Crossrails division at the Spring Premier show!

Even with the rain, what a beautiful 65° heat wave!
Everyone did a fabulous job today with their horsemanship lessons! We learned about horse care, wrapping legs, piecing together bridles, and everyone’s favorite, the balance barrels!
Everyone had great horseless lessons!
Except for good boy Noodle who got over his water phobia today. 🤣

We’re looking forward to a chilly week! This article has some great suggestions for dressing appropriately. Moisture-wicking layers are key for a comfortable ride in the cold! https://www.facebook.com/share/6AHqCJPHFYuv6qFu/?mibextid=WC7FNe

"Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the equestrians from their barns." Okay, maybe that's the U.S. Postal Service... or Herodotus. Either way, equestrians know that riding horses -- and taking care of them -- is not just a fair weather pursuit. It's something we do no matter the....
