🎉This Month’s Ariatti Equestrian Services team member is Sue McPeek! 🎉

Sue is a long time member of team Ariatti, having ridden with Angela for twenty years! Sue and her wonderful horse Apache are working on First and Second level dressage! Apache was Sue’s daughter Jennas horse, and has helped her and many other kids gain confidence in their riding skills. Currently Apache is also ridden by another member of team Ariatti, 8 year old, Hunter Blair. Sue has shared with us, that she loves Ariatti Equestrian Services, as it is her “happy place,” and is at the barn nearly every day. Sue also groom’s Angela’s horses that are in for training!

At Ariatti Equestrian Services we want our students to become not only skilled riders, but more importantly good horsemen and women. This key belief and principle of our business,is what prompted us to create our new monthly educational series. To kick off the month of November, and prepare our team members for the colder weather, we created a Blanketing “how to video!” If you have any questions or need help with learning to blanket your horse for the winter, please don’t hesitate to DM our Social media accounts or ask Angela or one of the assistant trainers for help!

🍀This week our featured Ariatti Equestrian team member is an equine member of the team, Norman!🍀

Marilyn brought Norman over from Ireland to be her fox hunter! At 10 years old, the Irish draught has shown no lack of skill, and has helped give his mom an immense amount of confidence! Marilyn and Norman enjoy traveling, and even spent last winter in Phoenix training and are now competing at the starter level! Angela enjoys getting to work with Marilyn and Norman and has enjoyed working with Marilyn, since Angela first came to Kentucky!

We cannot wait to see Marilyn and Norman continue to grow in their partnership, and all that they learn along the way!

We want to use our social media to highlight not only members of team Ariatti and their horses, but provide updates on the team’s activities, and educational content as well!

To kick this monthly series off, this month’s featured team member is…….

🔅Tracy Scott🔅

Tracy has ridden with Angela for years, however her current mounts are both fairly new! Competing them both at the starter level, Westley is a young draft cross and Wiley is an older TB fox hunger! However, Tracy has been focusing her time differently at competitions, and you may see her out acting in her role as an MSEDA certified Judge!

We are so proud of the hard work Tracy has shown both in and out of the saddle and we are excited to cheer her on as she works towards the ‘L’ program for Licensed Officials.
