As we wind down the last few hours of 2024 I would like to say…Thank you.
We survived and had a blast. We had lots of thrills with barely any spills. We came, we saw, we conquered. We made new friends, and learned new skills. We advanced our riding, and practiced daily horsemanship to better ourselves for our horses. We learned something new everyday, not the hard way but more so in a fun way. We battled bad weather, and rejoiced in good weather. We laughed, we trailered, we sang to our horses while they galloped, jumped and pranced with delight. There was never a boring moment- we had something new to do each day. That’s why 2024 was not the worst but more so of a woo hoo- what’s next- we have so many things to do. May 2025 be exciting and thrilling. I wish nothing more than another year of learning and seeking with friends like you. (Please Enjoy the art that Ava made representing how she sees her world of riding.)

Ava and Grace participated at the CJL horse show at the immaculate Wyndsor Farm first thing this morning. Ava did the short stirrup EQ division. Brrrr. We were freezing!
Ava competed against one other rider that was very good! The competition was fierce. We were pleasantly surprised by the results. Ava got Champion of the division. A huge Thankyou to Nancy Ligon from Firefly Farm for coming to coach Ava. Ava had a really nice time spending time with her mentor.
And…we can’t forget to mention our most perfect pony in the whole world- the most amazing Grace. The unicorn of all chestnut mares. The peanut to the jam. The marshmallow to your s’more. The cherry to your ice cream. She’s a show pony. The most amazing pony.
She loves horse shows, especially when you show her all the treats she won and likes to be home in under an hour. She hates leaving her best girl Mystery, alone to eat all their hay.
Now- to buy warmer show clothes. Does anyone have a size 8-10 children’s wool show coat we can borrow and promise to give back? 🧐 or… does anyone have a barn in Florida we can squat in?

If you have paddocks around trees I highly recommend this 4 strand electric fence. Mr. Luke had this fixed in a jiffy and tightened the strands up again. Much easier and cheaper than wood. No need to run out in bad weather to buy lumber.
This fence has taken a beating and just keeps on living another day.
No mares were hurt. Nor did they go near this amazing cross country jump while removing the new jump.

Just a reminder that it is “no stirrups November”. To help, I borrowed all your stirrups and will gift them back for Christmas. (The best present ever!) 🤶🏻🎁Let the fun begin!!

When you put microphones on the kids to see what they are learning in their lessons.

11/01/2024

Rant: reflections of how it all started.

I have to constantly remind myself that when I was 8-9 years old I took my first riding lesson. Meanwhile, my daughter is currently learning how to bend her pony and be more fluid over jumps, riding with amazing trainers and leases the best pony, while participating at venues I only dreamed about… at the age of 9. It’s absurd to be quite honest. In no way could I ever compare myself to her or anyone else. Everyone has their own journey.

There is a huge difference of equestrians born on the horse farm taking multiple lessons a week, compared to people that lesson once a week on borrowed lesson horses. Look out for the horse crazy kid that can’t afford lessons- they will one day rule the horse world. They are unstoppable.

The more you ride, the more lessons you take, the better you will be, and the quicker you will excel- especially if you find the horse of your dreams. Not many people get that privilege or have that wealth or time.

It’s really not fair. I was the kid that had to wait a very long time till I could be where I wanted to be and lease my first horse. It took years of lessons, working for the best trainers and barns while searching for the heart horse for me. I was a barn rat that bounced from everywhere in between PA to NY. Always looking for the next best thing or job, or anyone that would except me in.

I found what I was looking for eventually…and then gave it all to my daughter. I get more joy and learn more watching her achieve her dreams. I see many parents do this- mine did that for me.

Below are photos of myself and Ava at the same age.

I just have to remind myself sometimes how lucky I am to have started the way I did to appreciate everything we have. Once you get there… it is easy to forget where you started. I think many of us forget where we started once you pass through the tough parts of life. Once upon a time… we were all just beginners at something doing the things we loved. Looking back on how far we came- should be a drive to keep moving forward with gratitude and love.

Horses will do that no matter what level you are at. It’s why so many people are addicted in love with them.

What I was searching for that whole time was this farm and life with horses. My dream came true. Where this takes my daughter? I have no clue. It’s completely up to her.
Ok bye.

To survive in this industry of horse boarding, you need good team work. I just want to give a huge thank you to my barn manager and weekend helper who make it possible for us to go to horse shows on random days.
Not only that, my barn manager clipped our horses for a professional photo shoot today and another for a horse trial tomorrow. She was here late into the night working hard and did a great job. 👏

My weekend barn worker brings homemade gifts for our kids and horses and lifts us up with daily affirmations. She always comes in with a smile and leaves the barn looking immiculate. We have strong support.

We all work together, and without hesitation if I give a shift in schedule everyone steps up to the plate. Our boarders will even fill in if we can’t do it. They know the schedule, the feed, and the turnout. (They are seasoned riders- and my councils for when I don’t have an answer. They are 100% on the board)

Small barn luxuries. Everyone knows- nothing is a secret- and everyone can do it.

Everything about this barn is a team. Communication, timing, and helping hands. I honestly, couldn’t do weekend events years ago because I didn’t have the help or support. I’m feeling very fortunate for all the help I have to focus on big goals and dreams. Good help goes a long way. The more you trust your family, the further you all achieve. We all work as one here. Same page- white board- and in it to be the best we can be on any given day.

Finding that is incredibly hard in a boarding barn. Everyone has to like each other, believe in each other, and want each other to do the best they can be. I think we have a winning team with the most amazing horses and people.
I knew it as we left the barn today with all the boarders screaming “good luck” tomorrow!
We love you all. Tomorrow will be a big day for our future barn manager in training. I don’t think many 9 year olds do Plantation Field. We got here because of all the help and training.

10/26/2024

We went to plantation field today to do a course walk for Sunday’s horse trials. It brought back so many memories for me as a young rider doing things for the first time. It was humbling to see all the different levels too. I’m really grateful that “tiny” is available in a place where olympians love to ride.

A beautiful day- with people I love and trust- with ponies that will take care of these kids. We are beyond blessed to live in this wonderful horse country.

Ava has amazing trainers that talked her through what looks very elementary- but… if you have ever ridden at speed on uneven terrain- you know that’s most of the battle.

Start them young. Good luck to all the competitors this weekend! It looks to be amazingly fun.

Mr. Luke has been busy creating new jumps for us. We have been looking into finding lighter and smaller jumps and rails. The jump packages online are mega expensive! So- we are experimenting with DIY- while filling our piggy bank.

Thankfully, Luke is a gifted carpenter and I know all about what we need.
We got some pressure treated 8x4x4 and Mr Luke shaved off the corners with his fancy tools.
We had to let them dry out and then he painted them with his special paint.

Not only that but…Mr. Luke is fixing all of our standards and creating some fillers with left overs we have from old projects.

This way, if they warp, get broken, or fall apart I don’t mind. They were made with love and learning.

Now, with the 8’ skinny jumps we can move them around easily and set up a full course in a little arena. Plus, better practice for us to jump something skinny and learn the best approach to a jump at speed.

Bye bye 12’ water logged heavy as hell freshly painted hard wood rails.
You will live in the upcoming cross country course coming soon.
A big shout out goes to Lynne who is a big part of our course designs and inspiration. “The scarier- the better”- practice now not later.

These horses will see it all. Back in my day- people jumped over park benches, wagons, and cars. I think we all have many safer ideas! Let us know.

Congratulations!!! To Kayla and Ava who went to the FCEA dressage schooling show at Journeys End today to compete. Kayla came home with a 1st in intro A, 2nd in Training 1, and 3rd in training 2. Ava came home with a 3rd in training 1, and a 4rth in training 2. We are grateful for having such a beautiful venue nearby to school at, and wonderful trainers. (Firefly Farm and A to Z equestrian) that keep these kids interested in the sport. It was a gorgeous day. In and out, a nicely run show, happy kids, moms, horses and trainers, and awesome judges… is what makes the fun all about. We came home with lots of good homework. Thanks for a great day!

Congratulations to Ava and Kayla who ventured to the FCEA dressage schooling show today at Journeys End Farm. Both tested for Training Level 1 and 2. They did a great job and looked great.
A huge shout out goes to their pony club instructor Nicole for coaching them today.
A huge Thankyou goes out to Lisa for trailering and keeping us organized and running on time. Also, Zoe for prepping them for dressage with weekly dressage lessons and making it fun.
Thankyou FCEA, It was a really well run show, and we were in and out and home with no stress and lots of smiles. So much fun. Our ponies loved the quick trip and ample grass in the trailer parking. Happy ponies, Happy kids, Happy moms, happy trainers. Go team pony club.

Picture of the day: Marco: “ I didn’t think Jockeys came that small! What time do we breeze?”

08/30/2024

We are ready for the show to start! Good luck to everyone tomorrow competing!

08/29/2024

I asked my boarders to send me old photos of them riding for a project I’m working on. The photos sent blew my mind. They are all really amazing! I’m only sharing one of my favorites on social media. The rest is for my project. (Sorry Lynne.) I had to!

Lynne asked if I would watch her jump today for safety. I really do mean it when I say that this woman is an inspiration to me. She still hooks up her own trailer, takes lessons from world class trainers that live far away, and competes. She never gives up on learning and doing the best she can for her horses. She is always positive and helps out at the barn. And Yup! She has two horses.

She has xx more years of experience around horses than I do and rides better too, but still asks for my opinions and asks that I spot her when she’s riding alone.

Meanwhile, I’m watching her and equally learning… why did he swap his lead two strides before the jump? We both look at the video trying to figure it out.
It honestly doesn’t matter how much you know, or where you have been… each horse you ride teaches you something new or brings you back to the basics again. Lynne (and a lot of others at this barn) has seen and done it, but takes everything slow and steady with the ones that aren’t ready yet.

All of my boarders get the blue ribbon for taking it slow and steady… and showing great examples of horsemanship. I honestly have great people in this barn. Lynne got it today riding her special boy Marco. He has changed so much over these past two years and just keeps getting better by the second.
Lynne is a badass horse woman and I think everyone should know it.
Ok bye.

08/27/2024

A really fun and giggle fest of an evening was had.
Their trainer Nicole and Nancy are competing in Kentucky this week winning lots of ribbons- no Monday lesson. So, Ava’s friend from pony club trailered to our farm to practice for the Ludwig’s show this weekend.
Pony clubbers have the most fun while making lifelong friends. Just waiting for the Moss girls to come home from vacation and we will have a full tribe of cute ponies practicing their lessons. It’s more fun to ride with friends. No excuses for these two anymore.

Ava walked up the driveway after getting off the bus and her job was to take photos of all the trails and fall foliage. Here are some of her photos and videos of “around the farm” before the trees turn naked.
