Bryce Richardson has been in the hunter jumper world since she was a kid. Starting in the ponies and quickly moving on to both the hunter and jumper rings, Bryce has always been committed to the sport. Bryce has been able to work and train with an impressive list of accomplished trainers including Mickie Sage, David Tromp, Will Simpson, and Sarah Invicta Williams.

Bryce moved to Europe in 2020 to continue her education in the sport under Alexander Liefsoens, while also starting her own business developing young sport horses. She moved her business stateside to Ocala in 2022, and has coached riders in all rings, including ponies, hunters, jumpers and equitation on the A circuit.

Bryce takes pride in giving horses and riders a strong foundation, with an emphasis on fitness and clear and productive communication between horse and rider. Bryce has brought along young horses from their first horse shows, all the way to their first Grand Prix and Derbies. She has produced very successful hunters who have gone on to derby finals with top hunter riders and several young jumpers that have gone onto young jumper finals both in the states and abroad.

Oh hey there! 👋 I'm hungry.

Mr. Moo traveled out to his first recognized show and we're so proud of him! Not only did he gain confidence in a new place, he handled the show atmosphere extremely well and had the chance to show off his sweet personality.

We cannot wait to see what the future holds for this stud and the babies that will follow! Thank you Bridget Bursey for your work with him.

The fly gear is out! 🪰 But let's be honest, removing it is way more fun.

Oh, did you need this? Don't worry, I got it.

Who else has wild horses this spring? What are your strategies for managing their antics?

05/17/2024

See ya winter, the grass is GREEN!

05/13/2024

Research and reach out to barns with offspring from the stud you're considering! Ask about temperament, traits, and more. 💬

Most people love sharing about their horses and this is the only way you will get real insight into the temperament your foal could have. Remember, personality and temperament should be key factors in choosing the perfect stud! 🐎

Getting ready for summer show season? What changes do you make in your horse's routine and feeding?

We want to know!

🐴 Need a place for your mare to foal out safely? While many barns take mares and foals, not all are equipped for foaling.

If you're hoping to breed and need a foaling facility, we've got you covered! Don't let the lack of space to foal hinder your breeding plans—let us help.

04/25/2024

Happy safe date to Gem! Fingers crossed we'll be seeing a baby in less than a month!

04/19/2024

Maybe you've thought about it, maybe you haven't... Keep a hand milker in your foaling kit!

Here's why we do it:
- We can intervene the baby can't stand up.
- If mom's udders are too full it hurts when their foal nurses and the mom often kicks their baby off. 🥛🐎

04/16/2024

It's foaling season! So, what are the 2 things we always give our babies when they're born? Two essentials:
- Foal Kick Start from FullBucket
- Foal Response Colostrum Paste from Vita Flex Pro
We make sure they receive these within the first 20 minutes after birth. 🕒

Birth is like a marathon for them—drying off, standing up, and finding milk. These boost their energy, setting them up for success from the start!

Choose a stallion that complements your mare to avoid a mismatched baby!

If your mare has a super long back, don't pick a stud with a short back. You will almost always end up with a foal that has either a short or long back. Aim for a stallion with the correct back length for far better odds your foal will too!

04/08/2024

The closer a mare gets to foaling the looser their tail can become. It gets easier to lift their tail and you can often lift it higher. Thank you Katie for teaching us something new this foaling season!

04/04/2024

If you're like any horse-crazy person we know, you love to learn about horses. No matter what. So here is another fact for you!

Also, smaller bedding options like shavings pose a health hazard as the foal can breathe them in.

🐴 Exciting News! Thinking of breeding your mare but unsure where she can safely foal?
Starting next year, we'll be officially offering foaling out services right here! Reach out for details!

03/28/2024

Did you know a mare's milk changes right before giving birth? It starts as clear, then gradually turns milky a few days prior to delivery. Then, just 24 hours before they go into labor, it thickens into colostrum, packed with essential nutrients for the newborn foal!

Meet our newest edition, Ducky! He timed his arrival just before the blizzard hit.
Congratulations Grace and Moo on their first foal! 🐴
