We are pleased to report that Dusty is settling in very well with his temporary riding program! Several TPAS students are transitioning to the program splendidly as well. The boys and I hope to visit Dusty and Ms. Cassie sometime this week. ❤️

Last call! This is the final week for riding lessons before this dream team of lesson horses go to their temporary programs during my extended maternity leave. I’m giving lessons three days this week with the final day being Thursday. I have one semi-private spot still available Thursday if anyone wants a last ride before Ms. Jess hangs up the reins temporarily. Thank you for all the well wishes and loving this awesome crew as much as we do.

The spooky gray clouds in the background provided a fun Halloween backdrop for our pre-trick-or-treating lesson. We hope everyone had a safe and fun filled Halloween yesterday!

Next on the list: our best boy, Dusty, will be staying in the area while I’m on my maternity leave from riding lessons. Our good friend Cassie Clark Wade will be taking impeccable care of Dusty while using him in her Springfield Township based lesson program. The boys and I plan to visit him regularly for our own rides and lovings. 🥰

As a reminder, I will be discontinuing lessons soon but will continue farm sitting as scheduled through December, then starting farm sitting again in February for my regular clients and accepting new farm sitting clients again in March. I have several sitters and riding instructors I personally recommend in the interim, please don’t hesitate to ask for a referral. :)

When I decided to take an extended maternity leave from riding lessons this winter, I started my hunt to find just the right programs for our TPAS lesson horses. The programs would have to provide excellent care, be knowledgeable, and incredibly compassionate with our invaluable crew. I’m excited to announce where each will be going starting with my personal heart horse, Charm.

Charm will be teaching little riders to lope at JD Show Horses in Powell, OH under the guidance of AQHA Professional Horseman, Jessica Daniels. I had the pleasure of befriending Jessica while we were earning our undergrads at the University of Findlay. We rode together when I briefly lived in Columbus in 2012 and kept in contact over the years. There are very few people and programs I would trust with Charm’s care, especially 100+ miles away. Below is a brief bio and website for more info on Jessica and her fantastic youth program.

Jessica started riding at the young age of three and has not stopped since. She has had the opportunity to work with incredible trainers in the quarter horse industry and coach countless riders to championships, reserves, high points, and more achieving their goals. Along with her husband Aaron Jordan and kids Dylan and Rylee, Jessica started Concord Equestrian Center in July of 2012. Here they operate JD Show Horses. They focus on providing the best care for the horses in their facility and take high pride in offering an educational lesson program.

A sad heads up for our riding clients: Daisy is on the decline. Every day is a bonus gift at this point. As you’re out at your next lesson, extra pats and gentle love on Daisy are appreciated. ❤️‍🩹

Trainer Spotlight: Brianna Shoenlein at SNS Show Horses

This is one of two barns I’m referring my lesson clients to while on maternity leave this winter. Looking to show or lease a horse? Brianna’s horses are safe and enjoyable to learn the ropes of showing on. One of my little riders started riding with me at 4 yrs old and transitioned to Brianna this summer for their first show season. They are adoring their experience showing with SNS Show Horses!

Brianna attended the University of Findlay and majored in Western Equestrian Studies before moving to Arkansas to work under the guidance of Mark Dunham of Mark Dunham Quarter Horses. She’s had the opportunity to work with a number of Top Ten's, Reserve Champions, and Champions in the Quarter Horse, Paint, and Pinto industries. She worked with trainers EH Pait and Cory Everhart before moving back to Ohio to open SnS Show Horses.
When she’s not at horse shows, she’s enjoying time with her husband (Nate) and two sons (Owen and Jenson).

Trainer highlight: Cassie Clark Wade

This is one of two fantastic barns in the area absorbing my lesson students while I’m on maternity leave. One, possibly two, of our lesson horses will be wintering with her as well! Below is a brief bio of Cassie:

Cassie grew up loving horses starting at a girl scout camp, graduating to lessons, and eventually owning her first horse At 11 years old. She showed hunter jumper on MHJA, USHJA, and IHSA graduating from the University of Findlay with a Bachelors in English Equestrian Studies and Barn Business and Management. She has taught at the 3 day eventing summer camp at the University of Findlay, volunteered at Challenged Champions Therapeutic Riding Center, and has experience working with OTTBs, greens, ponies, young kids, lessons, running camps, events, pony parties, and more. Cassie currently has a small farm where she teaches lessons and provides limited boarding. When she is not teaching or training she is enjoying time with her husband (Jack), 6 year old (Josiah), and 1 year old (Izzie).

As most of my riding clients know, we are very excited to be welcoming a third baby into our growing family later this year. The tentative plan for now: Thanksgiving week will be my final week of lessons. The TPAS lesson horses will be going to other lesson programs (more details on that later) and I have two area trainers absorbing any clients wishing to ride during the winter while I am on an extended maternity leave from riding lessons. If you have specific questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am taking new clients in the meantime and will help transition them to the requested instructor for December.

I will continue farm sitting with no heavy lifting after a brief maternity leave from approximately Christmas through January/February.

Thank you to my wonderful clients for your patience and heartfelt well wishes while we embark on this unexpected yet exciting adventure of a family of five!

What a blast! We had so much fun helping troop 1103 earn their horseback riding badge this weekend! These fantastic girls learned quickly, listened intently, and jumped in both feet first with great questions and enthusiastic attitudes. Great job, girls!!

I couldn’t have done this without the help of my friend and fellow instructor, Cassie. One (possibly two) of our TPAS lesson horses will be teaching students to ride in Cassie’s program while I’m on my maternity leave. More info on that to come!

I forgot to post this fun video from a farm we sat for last week! How funny is this jersey steer??

Side note: Yes, both of my boys have cowlicks in the same spots. As does their Dada 🤣 🐄 👅

Thanks to some incredible friends, we achieved a new personal best for putting hay in the hayloft: 84 bales in 26 minutes! With no hay elevator and my pregnant, slow-poke self throwing them down. We finished with about 15 minutes to spare before rushing out the door for my oldest’s soccer game 😅 I’m so grateful for supportive friends in our life whom step up to help and provide encouraging words the whole time.
A farm booking and Girl Scout session also kept me busy with TPAS this weekend. Pictures to come soon! Happy Monday!! 😁

09/13/2024

Another insanely packed week here at TPAS! Lessons, farm sittings, vet, farrier, chiropractor, and finishing it up with a load of hay this weekend. I don’t think it’s the end of my second trimester talking when I say this one was exhausting. Thanks to all my TPAS families for loving the horses and my kiddos joining in as much as I do! Have a safe weekend, everyone!!

09/10/2024

Two farm bookings, lessons, my own kiddos’ doctor appointments, and sports practices are filling the schedule today but it would be remiss of me not to take a moment to brag on this young lady’s personal growth. This 9 year old has overcome multiple insecurities, fears, and anxieties to become quite the budding horse woman. Keep up the hard work!! 🙌

Lots of fun scratches and a few treats for this hobby farm this morning. Kunekune pigs who sit for treats, Jersey steers who drink from the spigot.. nothing but personality and fun from this crew!

Welcome to our newest farm sitting clients and riding students! We’ve had several families join our TPAS family in the past couple weeks. We’re happy to have you! 🫶🙌

09/07/2024

Before posting on a local community page, do I have any lesson families interested in helping me stack about 80 bales of hay in the hayloft? I’m happy to pay or reimburse with a lesson. The process takes less than an hour with two of us. I shouldn’t be doing as much heading into my third trimester, I’m realizing 😆

08/28/2024

Whew! What a doozy of a storm that was last night! We’re praising God for His provision!! Every limb/tree that came down avoided our three vehicles, horse trailer, barns, house, and creatures! 🙌 Bear with us as we start the slow process of clean-up and pasture fence mending. We hope all our farms and riding families are well and unharmed!

08/28/2024

One of our favorite farms booked me the past few weekends for farm sitting. I’ve been taking care of this crew for the past 2-3 years. It’s been so fun watching the animals fall in love with our boys and vice versa over the years! These pups aren’t typically around kids but the posterior walker doesn’t seem to phase them much. The owner was beside herself with this video saying, “Omg that video with Ezzie is adorable!! I love how much the dogs love you and your boys 💕 That makes my heart smile ☺️” The feeling is mutual for sure!

8 months pregnant and an almost two year old squeezed into the saddle. I love sharing my heart horse with my kids then turning around and giving lessons on her to other horse-loving littles. 🥰 #tallpinesanimalservicesllc

This old, sweet lesson horse is retiring. She deserves all the love, comfort, and companionship she has in front of her. ❤️ #aqha #lessonhorse #chestnutmare #tallpinesanimalservicesllc

Horse mom turned human momma… a group of fantastic beginner horses and mini-me’s to love on them. It doesn’t get much better than this. ❤️ Shout out to Pawpaw’s ingenuity with the downed limb driving the car to the barn with minimal effort 🤣#tallpinesanimalservicesllc

I love teaching new experiences! This rider has been riding with me for about 1.5 years and got to try her hand at deworming at her lesson this week! She successfully treated all three of our horses and did a fantastic job!! We talked about why we deworm, different practices for rotation of dewormers, possible risk of resistant-parasites, and do’s and don’ts for administering pastes. 🪱 ❌ 🐴

A short clip of our big welcome home after being gone 10 days for vacation. We used our own farm sitter for the horses, Daisy (our geriatric dog), and barn cat. We had to go to plan C by day #3 for our newest pup, Ruthie, whom can be higher anxiety. This is a short video of her coming back home. A fluff ball of excitement between her and Daisy. ❤️ I have several higher anxiety dogs I care for as well as our own ball of fluffy nerves and energy. The best plan of action is communication with the hired sitter and contingency plans. Your pups’ anxiety doesn’t need to prevent you from travels! Simply put a plan in place to keep them at their safest and most content so you can take your trip with no worries. 🙌☺️

I tried to set him down at the beginning. Unacceptable. 😅 At least he’s cute. #farmlife #momlife #smallbusinessownerlife #tallpinesanimalservicesllc #horsemomlife

Welcome to your furever home to our newest rescue, Ruthie Roo. 🫶Two year old German Shepherd, Ruthie, is living her best life being snuggled by our family, gushed over by lesson clients, running in the creek on the back of our property, and patrolling the day away. She came to us skinny and showing signs of being contained in a small space much or the time. This smart girl is quickly picking up on obedience training, loves having a job, and loves exploring on the property with her new family. Welcome home, sweet girl. #tallpinesanimalservicesllc

Allergy season 😩 everyone is feeling extra cruddy and itchy with the pollen and temp changes, including our sweet Katy Bug. Thanks to our quick working vet, Katy is now on steroids and antihistamines to get these itches and bumps under control as well as a close eye on her respiratory state. Baby Ezzie and Ruthie Roo the dog are helping me scratch Katy Bug’s VERY itchy tummy. See the way she’s stretching her neck out and pursing her lips? 🥴 that means I’m itching just the right spot. Hopefully you all are finding just the right relief for your allergy needs this season!

Sweet Dusty 😅 I rode Dusty the gelding today which enraged my heart horse, Charm the paint mare. So I hopped on Charm for 2 minutes of fun bridle-less, bare back, connection time before heading to my next appointment. Charm, the resident drama Queen, was further infuriated when Dusty had the audacity to follow us around like a lost puppy. I love the spiciness of (most) mares and the chill, puppy dog vibes of (many) geldings.
