The dogs had a fun day with all the dead things they found π³π€’
And just like that, We have finished our first long format Training 3 Day! The little red horse was quite exuberant in all of his phases, earning us. Not one of our best dressage scores... He might have been a dragon π€£π Cross country day we had a blast doing roads and tracks, and finished with no faults added. He had plenty of energy still for stadium (which was in the Rolex stadium! So freaking cool), which ended up costing a rail which, unfortunately, knocked us out of the ribbons. But I am beyond elated to have finished with a number and with so many new experiences. We will definitely be spending the winter working on dressage and rideability π€£
Thank you so much to my support team, I could not have done it without you guys β€οΈ Meaghan, coach extraordinaire, Madi for all the extra assistance, as well as everyone at home keeping everything running smoothly!
Falling is something that every rider has to deal with and having the necessary tools can be the difference between a catastrophic injury and walking away. Huge thank you to LandSafe - Reducing Rider Risk for an educational program that will help keep us more safe in those situations! Thank you to Meaghan Burdick and Powder River Ranch for hosting!

Settled into our new home!!! Ponies are all doing well and happily enjoying their new field β€οΈ
A cool morning yesterday had Leo feeling a bit fresh to start our schooling at Stableview, but he was such a good boy! Collin also went and schooled all the training like the rockstar he is π€© starting to feel a bit more ready for Pine Top this upcoming weekend!
Myah took Collin to Bruce's field for a Beginner Novice stadium round yesterday. It was her first time ever riding him and they had so much fun!
This horse is so honest and can be fun at all the levels!
Getting ready for the first training run of the year! Collin is feeling better than ever! This is one of my favorite horses and he is going to be coming available! Reach out for more details π thank you Jules for the lesson π

Still recovering from a toasty day at Catalpa yesterday π₯΅ but this video of Leo coming across the finish line is bittersweet. We've had some ups and downs lately and for us to finish this event (especially after I took a detour in the woods π€¦π), let alone in the ribbons makes my heart happy β€οΈ
The team we had this weekend made everything possible and I couldn't have done it without them! Annemarie, Ava, Payton and Michelle, you are the best pit crew a girl and her horses could ask for. π₯° Emilie, Mary Lynn and Myah all rocked at their levels and surpassed their goals π₯³ so beyond happy for all of them!
Always love when Michelle and Bragi come to visit β€οΈ thank you for letting me jump the things with your fabulous pony!
So thankful to have so many lovely horses to ride! Carson got to go and participate in a dressage clinic this weekend with Laura Ashley. He is becoming such a lovely animal and am very excited to help further his education until he finds his new person π₯°
Huge thank you to Ali, Maleah, and Evergold stables for hosting!
