So state college was a successful but quick trip with Emily Lowenguth taking mouse WPS O'Toodles for his first 2'6tbs. He lived up to his name with a little squeak here and there buy wanted to do his job. Rosie Labarge and Tess worked on her confidence and rocked the .80s. Getting ready for chemung next week!

Ok I'm a bit behind...great shows last weekend! The empire had Hannah, Lauryn and Gianna all doing fabulous on their first shows out! Mossy and Romeo came back to the shows after a few years off and were rockstars too! Friendly actually had energy which everyone appreciated and he even kept it for Jes the next day! Jes wants to be an equtation star on the bouncy horse out there lol. Mouse and Emily had fun playing in the Tbs with Rosie and Ernie! Mouse even won his under saddle class...good practice for the upcoming State college tb classes! And of course the girls were sporting their CWD saddles! Rosie is patiently(not really) waiting for her new saddle to arrive...

Our home show is Sat then it's off the State college for a few days with Mouse and Tess!

So we had a good couple days. Liz and Luna picked up a 7th and Liz moved up to the .70 with a 3rd. Charm said he was only doing the little stuff so he got a 2 4ths once we figured out this optimum time thing and Tess helped Rosie get a 6th and 2nd in the .65m and then Tess then moved up to the .85m and was super even getting a 7th. This one is a cool jumper and she had so much scope just needs miles now. Anna and Bailey had a good round in the .80 and was having fun! Emily and Lizzie got 2nd in her first 1.0m class and had a oops in her 2nd one but we are ready today for our classic! We got Trish on Bailey to hack around while we schooled Charm yesterday for fun! As an aside the guy sold the car 8mins before I left to go look at it so we are still on the hunt for a car. Ended the day Fri by going with Anastasia to the Rodeo and we all witnessed Caleb dancing to win his tshirt. Sat Jeff and Julie (and her brother) met up with us for a great Grand Prix.
Today we have Emily in the 1.05m classic then we are headed to Jeff and Julie's to look at a project/sale horse. Supposed to meet up with McKinley Egenhofer for lunch🤞then maybe grab a nap before we load up and start the journey home. It's been a fun 2 weeks and we look forward to coming back next year!

Late first night together...thanks to Tallie Friedrich Giuliano for making a late night dinner and Anastasia Slepecki for everything she's been doing. Wednesday was a great day! Tess got a 5th and Luna got a 6th in their jumper classes while lizzie (the horse for Emily) won her class with Rosie and Anna got 3 2nds in her tb hunter classes with Bailey. Charm was excited to be back to showing and jumped the 3'6 with Rosie. Had taco dinner last night and a few laughs.

02/20/2024

We finally made it last night to WEC Ocala with just a couple hiccups of course. Thank you to Anastasia Slepecki for hooking us up with her friend Gina so we were able to get a nice mare for Emily to ride since Nemo decided to injure himself in turnout on Saturday night. All the wonderful support of everyone to get this taken care of literally overnight ...Sara at the Saren group and Kelly Neale our wonderful vet both came to the rescue on a Sunday morning. Thank you to everyone who helped get this done...she looks like a super fun mare! We are planning for a great 2 weeks for all the girls... Rosie Emily Anna and Liz! We might even get Anastasia in the jumper ring this trip...

Syracuse PHA Horseshow was a huge success! Rosie Labarge and Lord Pezi ll won a jumper class and then finished the week with the reserve in the jumpers. Ash decided to do party tricks the one day but redeemed himself by doing a blue/red like a hunter...maybe in his future when he grows up. Emily Lowenguth is very much enjoying her jumper time on Anissa with a champion in the .70m jumpers. Anissa walked off the trailer like she has been doing this forever and was the most polite animal at the stalls out of all of them. She also got a Reserve in the large children's ponies with the Amber Hills Vogue pony! Anna Lewis and Baytown Glory had a fantastic time in the adults with a 2nd in the pha medal and 2nd on her first day and rounded out with a 4th in the classic! Rosie also borrowed him for the pairs and Emily borrowed Dreamscape for an 8th. Casey Mazzola and Dreamscape reentered the 3'3 AO ring and we were super proud they went around and had a couple nice courses. They were all sporting their CWD saddles and Anna ordered her new one!!!

01/27/2023

Great job at the Jan lehmans show to Emily and Dreamscape....getting ready for the trip to WEC ocala coming up fast. Going to have an extra spot on the trailer if anyone needs to send one down.

Congrats to our show team last weekend at Lehmans...Bailey and Anna were really stepping up for their first baby Green and Mere and Oakley broke their baby Green too!

Still have several horses for sale...

Mayan Princess (Maya) 16.1 ch tb mare 14yrs old. This girl is the opposite of the traditional red headed mare...she is very sweet and loves people! Not mareish. This horse came back from doing a lease with a children's kid and is ready to head back out and get herself her own person. Best suited for intermediate and advanced riders. She is a sensitive ride and loves a quiet person. Has done the 3' but would love a 2'6 person and then move them into the 3'. She has changes and plenty of step! Good for farrier vet trailering clipping etc. Sweet girl looking for a good home. Asking high 🥕,🥕🥕🥕

Gryffindor (Griffin) is a super cute flashy 11yr old 13.2 7/8h bay Welsh pony with lots of chrome, looking for his new person!

This pony has a measurement card and usef /ushja membership number with a microchip. He was used to fill the large ponies several times but could be competitive with a consistent rider. He has tons of local miles doing mostly the 2'-2'6" hunter stuff. He has done a little jumpers for fun too. Very handy.
Been on the back burner the last few months just using him for a few lessons till we find him a person. A couple of the videos are 2 different riders from this summer.. Has a lead change but not auto. Needs to get back in shape a bit but otherwise ready to go!
Super sweet in your pocket personality. Clips,ties,trailers,bathes, good for farrier and vet. Easy keeper never been lame and we have had him for at least 5yrs. Barefoot. No maintenance either. Just a good guy ready to find a great new person! Looking to get him sold asap! Asking low low 🥕🥕,🥕🥕🥕. Located Penfield NY

Manny (Caveman) 16h 8yr chestnut gelding with chrome. Sold to me as a qh but vet thinks he might be an appendix. Purchased as a lesson horse prospect but now I have too many horses. Does jump around 2'-2'6 courses with an almost auto swap and has a big step. Nice mover and attitude! Went to his first show this weekend and was the same horse as home. Jumped right around and came home reserve in the 2'3 hunters. Good for farrier, vet, bathing, trailering, clipping and anything else we've asked of him. He's just a nice guy all around with a sweet personality to go with his great attitude. Asking low 🥕🥕,🥕🥕🥕

It’s official! All area school districts are closing! Wondering what to do with your child while you are at work?

Whispering Pines will be offering Horseback Riding Day Camp weekly 9am-3pm from March 23- April 10th. I can do individual days next week if needed. Please contact Chris at 585-314-8601 by text or call for details.

We will be practicing all health safety precautions, protocols, and ask that anyone feeling under the weather, or have ill family members please not attend.
All common areas will be disinfected regularly and there is plenty of hand soap and antibacterial gel available for your child’s use. The kids will be asked to wash hands several times during the day. This camp will be limited to make sure there will be no more than 20 people at the stables at one time.
The fresh air, horses, and stables are a great way to spend the day while the community is dealing with this crisis. We hope that by offering an alternative to day care, this will help our kids in our community get through this time away from school!
We can all get through this, if we work together!

Please contact Chris for any further details. Text or call 585-314-8601

Regular lessons will be continue. Everyone be safe!
