Ok horse community it’s that time to help out those in need!
In 2020 during CZU we assisted in evacuating and supplying horses and families that were displaced from the fires. This year we do the same for those down south.
Our amazing friends at and have agreed to open tabs for donations. Just call and ask to put whatever amount you feel comfortable in the “Serena LA Fund”.
On Thursday morning, we will pickup from the stores whatever is needed with the credit from donations.
Another need at this time is distribution. Once we unload our donations we will be taking a day or two to distribute other donations to families who need it. If you’d like to donate to our fuel, zelle me at (408)204-2891
Sometime next month, as the fires die down, we will be working closely with .of.angels to help build a hay bank to support these families long term. Any funds that we don’t use from our first haul will go towards our haul next month. Donations are open immediately, and won’t close until our second haul in February (we may do a third if needed)
It took us a while to lock in with someone that had information on what was needed, but now that we have made some more connections we will more than likely be running donations multiple times in the next few weeks
Let’s see what miracle we can pull off!

As I sit in the airport waiting to board my flight for this years international conference, I figured I should post my travels for the last year that was CHA related
Last year I spoke at the (very cold) conference at Colorado State University, rode a little bit and had the opportunity to drive a little bit as well!
I also got to visit my very first student ever who’s out in Utah
Since we had students competing at nationals in Tryon, I had a chance to visit with our friends over at and chat with them about their program that we now use at both of our locations
Lastly, on my way back from Tryon I bumped into CHA President working her day job in Fort Worth
On top of all this, I was sent to to certify their amazing group of instructors again!
Here’s to another year of travel, looking forward to CHA this year!

We are so happy with this partnership! Thank you EC Pro US for everything you’ve done for us

Customer Spotlight - Under The Son Horsemanship!

"EC Pro has immensely helped us support our business and community since we signed on with them. I've tried everything from spreadsheets, Google Forms, calendars and subscription programs meant for gyms, yet nothing seemed to fit the bill of what we were looking for. Under the Son has had multiple locations for a number of years, and EC Pro has helped us manage the schedule, staff, bookings and horses at all locations. Having a program that allows clients to book based off staff and horse availability is a huge time saver, plus the program keeps track of horse usage and other appointments. On top of a wonderful program, the support team has equine experience, and understands our industry well which is a huge bonus. As a CHA Certifier and IEA coach, EC Pro allows us to keep track of students on a level-based system, which keeps everything organized and efficient. After working with them for a year, I'm not sure I'll be able to use anything else!"

Yet another bittersweet senior send off
Last week I dropped Conner off at the UC Davis Equestrian Center for his first year of college with ._.delprado who was our amazing working student for a number of years

From crossrails to being our open over fences rider for zone finals, to the 1.05m jumpers, from not doing any dressage to showing 2nd level at a schooling show, Alicia has been with us from the very beginning of her show career. This past April we were able to accomplish her dream by finding her the perfect match in her first horse of her own, Conner.
Obviously, the barn crew and I will miss having her around the barn since everything was completed and in order without a single thing out of place. Mostly, we will miss her smile, laughter and joking about a one stride being a bounce, or that our 12h lesson pony is ready to pack a kid around the 1.60m jumpers
Unfortunately for us we can’t offer her a DVM, but being accepted to her number one school to chase that dream brings us joy to see her grow
We are all proud of you and are looking forward to when you can come back and visit!
Happy trails,
Serena and the barn crew at Under the Son
