The summer lesson session has officially come to an end, so as a reminder, there will be no lessons this week.

Also, we are both sad and excited to announce that we will now be shifting our focus to our show team. This means we will no longer be giving lessons outside of that. We want to thank everyone who came to us this summer for lessons-it was so fun and busy! We are excited to be able to focus on showing more and putting more work into our horses. We also hope to accept new show teams to our barn in the future! This change will also allow us to spend more time with our families. We can’t wait to see what the future holds and appreciate all the support we’ve been shown as we explore what works best for our barn ❤️

There is always plenty of extra practice you can do, even if your trainer isn’t available. Ask for some exercises you can be working on!

Last Friday we had our last day camp of the summer and we had a small but great group! We learned all about taking care of horses, safety, some first aid, grooming, tack, and riding. We tie dyed our shirts, took pictures with our favorite horses and made picture frames for them. It was a beautiful day and we’re so glad these girls joined us for some fun!!

I have 2 spots left for our one day horse camp this Friday 7/19. This is our last camp of the year!

Just a little appreciation post for my favorite ass. coach! I couldn’t have made it through the show or fair week without her. We are darn close to being a well oiled machine. For having 5 horses and 8 kids to get ready, everyone made it to their classes and I don’t think a single piece of tack was forgotten. Can’t wait to see what our team accomplishes in the future-but I know it will be so much more and so much sweeter with your help and support. Just know your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed or unappreciated ❤️

We started the day very early today at the Vigo County Fair. We took 5 horses and 8 kids 😳 Although it was a little chaotic at times, I don’t think it could’ve gone much more smoothly. The parents were a huge help and I couldn’t be prouder of this group of kids. No complaints, no tantrums-just courteous, hard working and grateful kiddos. It makes it all worth it to see the kids get out there and have fun and see their work come to fruition. We had lots of success, but I think my proudest moment was seeing every single one of my kids out in the Grand & Reserve Showman Class ❤️
And we couldn’t do this without the horses. We couldn’t have asked for much more than what they gave us today. From a 3 year old to a 29 year old, they tried their hearts out for those kids and that’s what it’s all about!
More pictures to come as we collect them all!

Just a reminder that there will be NO LESSONS next week 7/8-11. We will be at the Vigo Co. Fair

We didn’t get enough of the heat and horses all week, so we went to a horse show yesterday 🤪 We took 3 horses and 5 kids. There were tears shed, ribbons won, experiences gained, sweat sweated, money earned and fun had by all! Now we know what we’ve got to work on during these last 2 weeks before fair! 💪🏼 It’s crunch time, girlies!

Last day! What a whirlwind of a week at horse camp 🥵 Today was a busy day getting our horses cared for quickly, decorating our water bottles, painting portraits of our favorite horses and then getting the horses ready for our show. The girls got to do a little grand entry and show off their riding to friends and family. Then we celebrated with ice cream sundaes and a unicorn piñata 🦄 It was a week of learning and fun and I hope everyone enjoyed it!

06/21/2024

It was somehow even hotter today for day 4 of camp 🥵 After our morning chores, we learned about our horses’ hooves and how important it is to care for them. Then we cleaned and oiled every horses hooves! We also learned about parasites and why it’s important to deworm our horses, then the girls got to give all the horses their dewormer. We took a picture with baby Alder, did a couple of fun crafts and finished the day practicing for our little show tomorrow. I know the girls all are looking forward to showing their horses off and telling you all about their favorites ❤️

06/19/2024

Whew, it was a hot day 3 of horse camp 🥵 we got our morning chores done, had a snack and a popsicle, made tie-dye shirts, had lunch and changed right into swimsuits! We got crazy and rode in our bathing suits and boots today, and some of the girls rode ba****ck! Then we played in the water, took a picture with our favorite horses, then worked on some friendship bracelets. Ready for a fun day 4 tomorrow!

06/19/2024

We’ve had a fun-filled first couple of days at horse camp this week! The kids are getting good at getting the barn chores done in the morning so we can get to the good stuff. Excited for more fun things to come this week!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARKY!! 🎈🎂

Today is Lark’s 29th birthday! This photo was taken 10 years ago at a horse camp I held when I lived in Indianapolis. When I thought of what picture to post, this one popped into my head 😂 This is our 22nd year together-it’s gone so fast! He’s been such an influence in my life and is the king of the barn (just ask him). Make sure to give him a birthday carrot this week ❤️

06/02/2024

We got our photos back from the Youth Show yesterday! So proud of these kids and horses ❤️ Megan and I literally said on the way there that we had to go into this with no expectations. This was Judd & Kinzlee’s second time showing solo, Sophie’s only been doing this for a year AND with a new horse, and this was by far the biggest show Kynslee’s ever shown at! They blew us away-3 ribbons and finals in two more classes. I can’t wait to see how they continue to improve.

06/01/2024

I still have 2 spots available in our weeklong camp, and several spots in our July 19 day camp! The weeklong camp is $400, includes a camp t-shirt and snacks are provided. The day camp is $100 with shirt and snacks also provided. Message me for registration info!
