Friday Funday!! It was such an enjoyable day with these positive ladies!! So much progress too!! 💕💕

07/21/2024

I always look forward to coaching our team of positive and supportive riders!! I have been working with these ladies to meet their individual goals at Houghton Recognized Dressage Show and it was achieved!⭐️
We welcomed Audrey Clarke & Monty to their first recognized dressage show who 🥇 won both tests (T2 & 1.1) and took the TIP award in first level and 2nd overall (by .3%) best TB of the day!🏆 We are confident to say Audrey will continue her DQ status and join us at future shows 😜
Kourtney & Blackjack stepped up a test as Blackjack has been enjoying his training and gaining more confidence. Today it really showed as he placed 2nd 🥈 in the 1.2 test and 3rd in the 1.1 test with runner up TIP! 🥳🥳🥳
Marianne & Jupiter are getting stronger as a team each show, really great canter work in his tests was achieved for 4th in 1.1 and they stepped up a test to ride 1.2. A costly error placed them 4th but truly a great test to see Marianne achieve her goals this show! ❤️
Jen and baby Martini did their first recognized show! It’s not always easy bringing young horses to a busy venue but I was super proud of Jen for stepping up to the challenge and giving Martini confidence that he can grow with. Placing 1st & 2nd in training level was such a bonus. 💪🏻🎉
Beth & Danny had their best rides for the season! Thank you for trusting me when I train you Beth…it’s not always easy getting out of your comfort zone but when I can see what needs be done to help the horse and rider it’s worth the push. It was simply amazing seeing the results today and even moving up to T3 test for 3rd and TOC class for 2nd! 🥲🥲🥲

Congratulations on a successful day and always supporting one another!! 🥹💕
Thank you to WNYDA for hosting this event…with the global cyber issues it definitely wasn’t easy but what a great team they were for making it happen! 👏🏻👏🏻

We had a very busy 4th July holiday with 16 horses and riders at Skyfall Hills for training!🥳🇺🇸 Thank you to everyone who came along to support. It was great training with determined and positive riders! 💙🖤

06/30/2024

What a day we had at WNYDA show at Cobblestone Equestrian Center! The training and dedication at home was shown in the ring since the last show and no one let the rain deter them!⭐️

An early morning start for Jen Powell & Martini made for a fantastic start! Martini moved up to T1 to give his best canter work to place 4th.🥳

Beth & Danny conquered the arena this time round gaining lots of confidence.💜Congrats on your intro c 4th & Intro B 2nd place🥈

Kourtney & Blackjack moved up a level, Blackjack showed he has potential for higher level canter work 😃 and Kourt did a great job riding him for 3rd 🥉 in both 1.1 & 1.2 tests 🖤

Mario’s black beauty Pax has been gaining strength since his last show and Johanna rode him beautifully at only her second show to win 🥇 T2 & 🥈T1 🥹👏🏻

Olivia and Donatello moved up to the 1.3 test, and rode a very relaxed test 🥰to score 77% to win🤩🥇

Audrey and Monty made their debut to the dressage world and rode as best as I’ve seen them to win the T3 test 🥇👏🏻 & 4th 1.1 test.

Kyra and Dora have been really working on her relaxation and listening to her rider. Your hardwork really paid off and it was great to see in the ring to place 3rd in both T1 & T2! 🥉🥉💪🏻

Marianne & Jupiter also moved up to 1.2 test to win 🥇 & had their PB in the 1.1 test with Jupiter really showing off his talent. Marianne won her reserve champion high point of the show!

A HUGE Congratulations 🎊 to the HPE team, I’m blessed to be surrounded by dedicated riders and it was great to see so many positive moments with the horses. Thank you Cobblestone for hosting & thank you Mario for the trailering & to those who came to support the riders! 🙏🏻 Enjoy these moments! 💯

Summer Solstice Vibes! ☀️😎💛

06/15/2024

A very busy & productive week at Skyfall Hills! 😍❤️(and it’s only Saturday 😝)

06/02/2024

Thank you to all the WNYDA & volunteers who put on a very well organized event at Houghton Equestrian Center the past 2 days! 👏🏻
We had so much fun together as a team and sharing laughs with other horse enthusiasts Saturday night 🥂🎉

Long post warning…😜
I’m very proud of how everyone handled their horses on the first morning, some spookiness in the indoor kept us using our toolbox of training methods very handy! After the first tests, the horses all performed to their best! Really great warm ups were on par and it was displayed in the dance arena. So proud of everyone, congratulations!❤️👏🏻🥹

I was definitely emotional to see a horse I purchased as a yearling and broke him in, compete at his first rated show successfully! 🏆Olivia did an amazing job taking over the reins and earning Donatellos trust to win all 4 tests🥇🥹
1.1 66.67% and 73.52%!! 1.2 test 70.76% and 73.64%!

Marianne rode Jupiter as best as I’ve ever seen! A spooky start where most would have quit, I saw a very determined rider who created leadership with her talented horse and kept him on the aids to end the show with her highest score. 💞
1.1 53.7% and to then win the next 1.1 with 64.63%
T3 66.2% 🥈and 69.6%🥈 which qualified her for Regional Championship.

Kourtney and Blackjack made their return to the rated show scene with ease! After realizing how fit Blackjack really was in his first 1.1 test 60.92%😅 we added more warm up time to get a 1.1 test 63.51% then a super calm & accurate ride for 66.89% & 71.89% in the T2 tests!🥇🎉

Alexaiya had her team of Joanna & Jacob who competed successfully with many ribbons too. 🎊
Alexaiya rode Ember in a variety of tests and chased her goal of riding a successful calm 2.2 test 🥉✔️ as well as 2.1 🥈and a cracking win🥇in the 1.3 test for 70.69%!! 🥳🥳🥳

Between coaching I managed to get the best rides from Macy & Skyfall.🖤 Macy felt amazing and in the warm up she was ready to go with every stride firing! 🔥She won the tricky 3.3 test with 70.38% scoring that dream 9 for a centerline and halt.🥇😝 Her second test we were a little tired in our extended work but she won the 3.3 test again on 67.38% and received some really nice comments from both judges on what an impressive horse she was. This was everything to me 🥹💞 🥲
Skyfall was super relaxed and calm considering it was a chilly morning and the outdoor arena can sometimes distract him but he was focused on Friday in the 4.1 test for🥈66.45% with the winner 66.58%! Saturday he felt even more focused so I decided to try putting him “turbo” mode 😅 🏎️💨 After really pushing my extended canter, which I know he loves…I forgot how big his stride was in the arena and before I knew it, I was looking for the handbrake!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I actually laughed as he collected back for his flying changes to score our best ones throughout the test with 7s & 8s to win 🥇 with 68.55%. Very positive comments on Skyfall with an 8 for my riding position! 🥲🥹

Thank you to Johanna who took care of the barn, I would not of gotten to compete if it wasn’t for your help! A huge thank you to Mario for supporting me and helping out at the show from organizing food, to sweeping the aisle, cleaning everyone’s stalls so we could get home early and caring for the fur babies which made it stress free! 👏🏻❤️ Thank you to Katie, Todd, Julie, Mike, Katie and Lyla for supporting everyone and joining in the fun! On to the next…

05/19/2024

What a day!! 🙂🙃 Firstly, thank you to Cobblestone Equestrian Center for hosting a great dressage show & for accommodating our team!!

I’m so proud of everyone! Every horse & rider had their own goals for the first show out & you definitely conquered them 🥳
Alexaiya & young Ember rode a solid & quiet 2.1 test for 1st on 61.5% 👏🏻
Kyra & Dora won the T2 test, even though Dora was expressive at the entrance, I loved how Kyra smiled & kept on going! 👌🏻
Olivia & youngster Donatello had a fantastic day, second outing together to ride 1.2 & 1.3 tests to win.🥇 I was beyond proud how a 16yo was so professional with her horse that I even had some tears 🥹
Kourtney & Blackjack had a great comeback to the show scene!! Lovely tests ridden to tie first place 🥇 with team mate Marianne & Jupiter in T3! The EXACT same score!!! 😝☺️Blackjack did his first ever 1.1 test to place second to Marianne & Jupiter!
Jupiter had his best 1.1 test to date & it was great to see Marianne grinning from ear to ear! 😃
A big shoutout to another junior rider Joanna! Her FIRST EVER show!! It was an emotional day for everyone involved! Joanna rode Pax so beautifully. Pax’s first show in 5 years and he was perfect for second in T1. So grateful these 2 found each other!!🥰😭
Beth & Danny really conquered the mental aspects of competing! I’m proud of you Beth, 3rd place was well worth your dedication! 👏🏻👏🏻
Carrie & Leo had there first show!! Leo helped with some first time show nerves & Carrie gave it 100% to win the Intro B with a cracking 71% & C 72% 🥳🤩
Jen & 5yo Martini are definitely having a martini 🍸 or 2 while I write this! 😝 Jen rode with all her heart & Martini gave his best ride yet! Intro B & C and ticking the goal list was a great feeling & 7s in his first time cantering in a test! 🥹
Alexaiya’s young rider Jacob placed 1st & 3rd in the T1/T2 tests with Daisy 🌼 👏🏻
Thank you Mario for all the trailering and getting Simba to his first horse show 🐶He loved it!💙

Skyfall & Macy….thank you for being so quiet for the first time off property this season…I’m too tired to write any more but I love you both!! 🖤🖤🥲

Congratulations to every rider & the support team who helped make this day fun!!! I’m beyond proud of you all!! Team Work Makes The Dream Work! ❤️

Recently, I had the pleasure of training the very handsome Jupiter for Marianne Stowell 💙. Our sessions covered a range of training movements, and the ever-changing weather allowed us to work in diverse environments, boosting Jupiter’s confidence 🥳.
Marianne’s commitment to her horse’s journey is inspiring. She consistently gives her best to achieve her goals. As part of our training, I invited Marianne to ride my own horses, demonstrating how to achieve lightness and fluid movement in a horse’s body. This experience will undoubtedly benefit her ongoing journey with Jupiter 😃.
Jupiter and I have formed a strong bond, and I’m grateful for Marianne’s trust and support in entrusting her beloved horse to our training 🥰. Thank you, Marianne! 💖🙏🏻

Before & After ~ Sunny! ☀️
From the lame pony with no muscle or training when I first purchased him to the best, talented, muscled 💪🏻up & versatile pony I could ask for! After a bath & a few months of training with me he has taught so many riders at Skyfall Hills! 💛
Sunny is great with showing beginners how to ride to giving riders their first piaffe steps, trail rides, competitions, mounted games, show jump or XC fence…we love you so much Sunny! ☀️ 🥹💛

#2 Lesson on Skyfall in a lower frame with Felicitas von Neumann-Costel🥰🥳🖤#fagerusa #artemisbridle #blackbeauty #dressage

Loved my lesson on Skyfall with Felicitas von Neumann-Costel! It was great working on many exercises for Skyfall & tuning up my position. I’m grateful for my Fager USA gear for keeping me comfortable when training! 🖤🥰

Skyfall wearing his Artemis Equine Snaffle Bridle trying 5 x 2 time changes for the first time! ☺️ Sometimes you have to seize the moment & have a go! It’s by far not perfect but Skyfall tried & was so relaxed! We stopped after this & took a walk around the farm & played in water. This horse has given me so much patience & I love how he tries to figure out life with me! 🥲🥰🥺🖤 #nevergiveup #grateful

Learning to gallop with control is not only safe but builds confidence as a rider. So proud of Olivia stepping outside her comfort zone today on my young mare Spade! We didn’t know she could actually go this fast 💨 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤩

The Black Beauty QH Jackson strutting his new dressage saddle! This beautiful horse has come SO far in his training, look at that lovely bouncy trot😍😍 Thank you for trusting the process Deanna Helene I’m beyond excited for the future you & Jackson 🖤 #quarterhorse #progress #patience #training
