Available for lease: Her Majesty Hazel USEF no. 5374903 Hazel is a sporty, quick, and brave jumper mare that would excel with a junior or amateur rider wanting to do the jumpers through to the 1.10m height. She’s bold, fast, and has a careful jump. Hazel is very broke on the flat and is as sweet as can be on the ground. She has winning show miles in the young hunter division but her heart belongs in the jumper ring with a rider who is as competitive as she is. Her owner is seeking a year long lease with possibility of renewal. https://www.proequest.com/horse/hazel

Quaranteam! When you are forced to quarantine after a potential EHV1 exposure, you take it very seriously (while still having fun)! Proud does not begin to describe what we feel for our team ride now. The group you see here left NWC at Murieta Equestrian Center yesterday. Their show ended two days earlier than it should have due to this potential exposure yet here they are making the very best of it! They showed up for their designated ride times today and are marching off to their quarantine barn to go safely tack up in their stalls. I mean, could we ask for a better team?! Good job, ladies! You are what makes us the Tallyhawkiest and you embody everything we ever wanted in a team. #soproud #thisiseverything #bestteam #allontheirown #raisethemright #independentthinkers #gettingcreative #makingthebestofit
