Today was a heartbreaking and devastating day as my incredibly amazing lesson horse, Gem, passed away in the pasture sometime last night. All my students will greatly miss her and I absolutely will miss her most. She was a horse I never had to worry about when teaching and it made my job as an instructor so fun.
Three years ago I bought this horse taking a huge gamble on skinny big horse that had a horrible cough. The sellers didn’t know her name or anything about her other than she was a pasture pet. I decided the price was right to take a chance and she seemed like she could be a “Hidden Treasure”. First stop after purchasing her was to the vet for testing and thankfully nothing was wrong other than bad allergies and she needed major TLC. Next step was bringing her home and getting her the food and care she needed and slowly working with her.
She proved to have some trust issues and was stand off ish but within a month she was turning out to be the “Gem” I had hoped for. She had a great mind and once I won her over she was super eager to please and do anything I asked. She learned to canter and jump and loved it. Unfortunately her joints didn’t look like they would be holding up for jumping hold so quickly I decided to have her just be my trot and canter lesson horse.
By the time I opened my business in 2023 at our current location Gem was a saint and the most amazing lesson horse I could ever ask for. She was a perfect balance between whoa and go. Great breaks but liked to work. She was a gentle giant at 16.3 just shy of 17h and was so patient with every rider I ever put on her from 2yr olds to adults. She loved to be groomed and pampered, ridden, and go to horse shows! Always a super steady girl. Great confidence builder for first trot and canter. My lesson program is at a huge loss without her! Thank you to all my amazing students who rode her for spoiling and loving her so well!

As much as Rodgers would never admit he is getting old (turning 20 this year) he needs to be limited to how high he jumps to help him last as long as possible. And although I had wanted to add another prospect to my herd to train for jumping, it was just not financially possible for me to at this time. Then out of the blue a very generous sponsor said she didn’t want to own a horse but did want to sponsor getting a young prospect for me to train for the lesson program that she could eventually show with. So because of this very generous sponsor we would like to welcome Strider to HSS as a young prospect that will be in training with me and eventually when he has enough experience including show mileage he will be used for lessons and for students to compete.

His show name is Won Gold Ring and barn name Strider (named after the sponsor’s favorite book…Lord of the Rings) Strider is a 4yr old Paint Percheron gelding.
Strider has a lot of potential and will be slowly and carefully developed. He has a lot of filling out to do with needing weight and muscle. He will get some down time to grow up a bit while I start to work on ground work building a solid foundation and then bringing him back to working correctly under saddle. With time I believe he is going to be a fantastic addition to the lesson herd and a great show horse!

Huge thank you to the generous sponsor who made this addition to our lesson program possible. What a huge blessing you are!

Learning lots from the gymnastics line. It is a challenging exercise but teaches so much. This was my favorite round Tracy and Rodgers did.

This young rider was very excited to be able to steer Gem all by herself all the way around the arena at the trot. She is just learning to post too and is working super hard on her position! She made so much progress in one lesson!

These amazing brothers were here over Christmas visiting grandparents. They took a lesson and had so much fun they decided to come back again when they were here last week. They all did amazing and were picking up quick on the basics.
So excited to have them out again for another lesson when they are back in town visiting!

These two young ladies looked fancy showing up in their riding clothes, boots, and helmets that they got for Christmas. They both have been working on sitting the trot and now just started to learn to post at the trot and are catching on quick! Love seeing so much progress in one lesson. Great work ladies!

Enjoying a spectacular sunset last week as this rider was learning about posting on the correct diagnol. Frankie has been working super hard on her posting and picked up on the diagnols in just one lesson. Super impressive! She also got to conclude the lesson with some cantering and is starting to get the hang of it! Keep up the hard work!

What a perfect way to end 2024 with this great group of students. We had a blast schooling xc at Texas Rose Horse Park! Everyone brought their A game and wow did they put in some great rides. Rodgers was a champ as he let three students school in him and he gave them a fantastic xc country experience. Cat and Maverick took it easy as he is coming back from an injury. That horse is loaded with talent and I can’t wait for him to be 100% so we can get back to training hard and getting him ready for his eventing debut. Ray and Sully keep getting better and they got to go over some bigger logs today. Every time Sully got more confident. 2025 is going to be an exciting and fun year! Thank y’all for a great day!

It was so wonderful having Tristan back for a lesson today. After a long break from riding he picked up right where he left off as if he never stopped riding! Rodgers and him sure make a great team and they popped over the xrail like no big deal. So excited to see what these two can do next year!

12/24/2024

Robbie and Gem were having some fun over xrails today! Robbie just keeps getting better with every jump! It’s a lot of fun seeing the pieces come together :)

Aliza got to canter Rodgers and for being so young, this girl can ride! What a joy it is to teach her and see her develop into a fantastic rider!

Rodgers and Sienna putting in a great round. I can’t help but smile when I think how far they have come together. Just keeps getting better and better!

Sienna and Rodgers put in a great course! Love seeing all of their progress!

Marishka got to do her first xrail. She has done a fantastic job and has come a long way in less than a year. From being brand new to riding when she arrived and nervous to now being a confident and balanced rider. So proud of her hard work and dedication!

Sienna has come along way and has been a delight to teach and watch her progress. She is putting in some great hunter and jumper courses with Rodgers. So excited for Sienna to attend her first show with us next weekend as she competes with Rodgers in the hunters Saturday and the jumpers on Sunday.

Tracy and Rodgers practicing some nice turns to get ready for the jumpers next weekend. They have been working super hard and I can’t wait for them to get to compete together again!
