Polaris’ 8 month glow up! The first photo was taken August of last year, and the second was yesterday- thanks to our Nutrena rep for finding the perfect diet to help with both weight and muscling, Mason Reidy and his help under saddle, and Guillaume Forestier Sellier for making sure both Polaris and I have high quality tack that fits perfectly. Yesterday was the perfect day for our first trip to the horse park, and Polaris was in her element! I am so excited to see what she can accomplish this year!

Polaris was an impulse buy on Black Friday (hence her show name) because of her pedigree. I gave her time to be a horse and grow up, and she unintentionally was put on the back burner for a while. She was an extremely nervous horse and I started taking her to the horse park regularly last April to build her confidence and saw how much she loved being out and going cross country. When the Camp Windurra with Boyd Martin opportunity arose, I couldn’t pass it up and chose Polaris because of her interest in eventing and I would also get so much experience taking a young, green horse to it. To be totally honest, the thought of selling Polaris was in the back of my mind; she could be very anxious and I wasn’t sure I could dedicate the time she needed and deserved, and eventing wasn’t something I was very familiar with. Camp Windurra changed everything for both me and her, and realized Polaris has more potential than I thought. Thanks to Boyd, we were connected with Mason at CMP Eventing.

The past 8 months have been getting her physically and mentally to where she needs to be so she can enter the start box this year, and I couldn’t have done it without Mason’s help. I will unfortunately be sidelined for a few months for shoulder surgery, but will be cheering Polaris and Mason on from the sidelines!

With all of her changes, the fitting of her saddle from August didn’t work anymore. Guillaume Forestier Sellier and Forestier Sellier USA took out the old panels and replaced it with new custom-measured foam and had it back to us in a week! The adjustments have made a world of difference and I’m so fortunate to be partnered with Forestier!

I am so grateful to have such amazing and talented clients! A couple of weeks ago I asked maryalice.moroz if she could sew padded covers for my saddle rack for me. Today she delivered covers that were beyond perfect (and in my colors!!!!)! My forestiersellierusa saddles are padded and protected beautifully now!

Emma is home! The CT scan showed pieces of roots from her previous tooth removal that were most likely causing the infection. The veterinary dentist was able to remove 2 of the 3 pieces they thought were causing the issues, and was able to get to them through her mouth which was the less invasive route. The third piece couldn’t be removed through the mouth and the vets would have to have cut a flap in her sinus and removed it through there which is much more invasive. We decided to take a conservative approach and leave the third piece of root and do antibiotics and see how everything heals. Emma was very happy to be back home last night and was very talkative to anyone who came up to her stall this morning to see her!

Emma is asking for everyone to send good vibes her way! She has a sinus infection that we have been unsuccessful treating with antibiotics, so she is at University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center for a CT scan and to see what the next options/steps are 🤞🤞🤞🤞

WE DID IT!!! Yesterday we got even more ribbons, packed, and today were loaded and on the road by 7 and home before dinner! A big congratulations to Melissa on Stars Align, Andrea and Emily on On The Rox, and Maddy on Dil With It. This past week was a week full of firsts for horses and riders, and I’m so proud and impressed how everyone handled everything. I think both horses and people are happy to be home and get some rest!

Today was a great day for Red Rox! Emily and Bear had a great over fences round in a very large class in the Non Professional Hunters 2’3”. Andrea on Bear, Melissa on Piper and Maddy on Pickles came back with ribbons in the Equitation Crossrails and Walk/Trot Poles classes. Tomorrow is our final day and we head back home on Monday!

Today everyone was in their element in the show ring! Piper was a rockstar in the Future Hunter U/S in a class of 18 entries, Bear and Emily looked great in the USHJA Hunter 2’ U/S in a class of 32, and Polaris did a great job in the .90m jumpers. Everyone celebrated their success in the ring with some Valentines Day treats!

A big thank you to Digital One Imaging for making this banner that we can hang in Ohio and future shows!

Better late than never! Riders participated in a “No Sit November” challenge where we kept track of how long they could stay up in their jumping position in lessons. We broke the challenge into age groups, and these are the riders with the highest numbers in their group!

🎉Congratulations!🎉

Did a little shopping for myself and Polaris thanks to Forestier Sellier USA in preparation for WEC!

We are less than a month away from 6 riders showing in Ohio at the World Equestrian Center! Polaris has been reading up on show grooming and braiding techniques so that she and the others look their best!

Can you believe this saddle is USED and almost 3 years old?!?! The quality and craftsmanship of Forestier Sellier USA saddles speaks for itself with this Boekelo for Skipper. Thank you Guillaume Forestier Sellier for fitting and delivering this gorgeous saddle (peek the green piping for a perfect pop of color)!

This is always a good reminder during blanket season!

As blanket season is in full force upon us, here is a very important reminder courtesy of the horse doctors at Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services:

"When securing blankets, make sure that the snaps/clips are facing inward, toward the horse! If they are facing out, they can easily become stuck on something, like the hay net in the picture."

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2025!
