Megan Watier is Performance Stock Horses first individual to take advantage of our working student program. She has fit into our barn family so well and we absolutely love having her around! She is a hard worker and talented horsewomen in the making. She and Ava are having great rides this summer and I can’t wait to see how far they will come.
Ava is my 3yr old mare and is by far one of the quietest horses I have ever worked with. She has a natural, lofty 12 foot stride and I can’t wait to start her over fences NEXT week!!! Megan is learning how I like brining along a young hunter prospect. And I really think this mare is a talented hunter in the making and I am so excited Megan is along for the journey!
Had a Great day with Totally Zen (aka Tilly) a 3yr old warmblood mare that was sent to me to get broke to ride a little less than 90 days ago. Tilly is 30 days undersaddle, 5th ride with me in arena, and first ride with owner! So much ridability with this mare! I Focused a lot on ground driving and started her slowly. She has such a great mind and work ethic for such a young mare. Today was the owners first ride and it couldn’t have gone better. Thank you so much Raquel Heiss for trusting me with this talented mare. I was so happy to watch you to ride around the arena and get along so well! You rode her brilliantly, and I can’t wait to follow her career as a dressage horse ♥️

GREAT show this weekend at Gypsy Live Regional gypsy show at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, FL. Kristin Farris and I showed Southern Magnolia Irish Black Magic in halter, Western Pleasure, and Hunter Pleasure events. This stallion proved to be one of the most versatile and good-minded stallions I have ever worked with in my 25 plus years of training. He placed Top 5 in all his halter events. Kristin showed magic in the western W/J events and placed first in the horsemanship, and was Reserve Regional champion in the western pleasure! I showed Magic in the W/J/L western pleasure and was 1st and named Regional Grand Champion, I also placed first in the hunter undersaddle and Magic was awarded Regional Grand Champion in the Hunter Pleasure as well! I could not be more proud of this stallion.
This is the type of gypsy we should be breeding, a stallion that is good-minded enough to go out and show with an amateur and talented enough to win the open in both the western and the English events. A big thanks to Sandy and Kristin Farris for giving me the opportunity to work with such a unique and talented horse. The two of you have added so much joy to my life, your kind hearts and appreciation for my work means a great deal to me. Kristin you were ABSOLUTELY amazing at this show, you are such a beautiful rider and to see the two of you go around that show pen as a winning team truly warmed my heart. Here’s to a great show, and a successful future 🥂
I’m so proud of Merry Sharp, and Fleets Only (Gibson). I wanted to give an update on the last two horse shows they competed in. They showed at APHA show in Clarcona, April 1st and 2nd. They earned 2nd in showmanship, 1st under both judges in the novice amateur trail and 1st and 2nd in amateur trail. They continued their winning run in trail this past weekend at the APHA show in Camden, South Carolina winning the novice amateur trail under all 4 judges and also being awarded hight point novice and circuit champion in trail. Congrats again merry and it’s so nice to see your dedication and hard work paying off ♥️
Cullen was always GIGANTIC, 17.2 hands when we had him. He always amazed me with how agile he was for being that big. He took to jumping and lead changes like he was born to do it. And in the right hands and continued education, he is now jumping courses and won 3 firsts and a second in his first time out jumping in the rookie youth working hunter!!! Videos like these of horses I started mean more to me than any first place ribbon. Congratulations to ALL and I can’t wait to see you two together in person♥️
I want to give a huge congratulations to Kathy Williams, Jennifer, and Emily Spell for doing such an amazing job with Cullen. Merry Sharp bred this 18 hand gelding and he was a pleasure to break and train. I had this video pop up in my memories from when I was first starting him over fences. Left long, but it was this day I knew he had what it took to be a hunter.
Merry Norton Sharp and Fleets Only. These two are really shaping up to be a great All-around duo ♥️
Lessons with Dutch…Jessica and Ivan working towards their hunter debut… ❤️
