A big THANK YOU to everyone who came and hung out with us today! The food was great and it was so nice to get to talk with everyone. We love you guys and couldn’t do it without you. 🧡🎃🐴

10/29/2023

Looks like we’re going to plan B 🌧️☔️
I’ll take your kiddo’s class times in the following week and announce the winners once everyone has a chance to run.

We will still have the potluck and costume contest today though! I borrowed some outdoor heaters as well to tuck under the barn addition. Come on out and hang out with us on this dreary fall day 😊🍂🧡

10/25/2023

Anyone else stressing out about Sunday’s predicted forecast? Just me? 🥴Lol Soooo here’s my plan B. We are having our cookout, costume contest, and bonfire RAIN OR SHINE. It’ll do us all good to hang out, stuff our faces, and relax for a day as one big horsey family. 🧡 Please bring a lawn chair for each butt you are bringing 😊🤣

As for the show part of this equation…

If the arena footing is safe to ride in, and there are only light sprinkles, we will still have the show on Sunday.

If the arena is a sloppy mess and we cannot ride, here is my plan B. Over the next week or so during lessons, I will record and time your kiddos. 📹⏱️ Then tally everything up and announce the winners via fb live. After that, your kids can grab their ribbons and trophies at their following lessons.

Your kids WORKED THEIR BUTTS OFF this year so I want them to be able to show off a bit, regardless of rain drops lol

See you all Sunday 😊🎃

10/23/2023

Hey all! Fingers crossed the rain holds off Sunday. It looks hit or miss at the moment but we will just have to wing it rain or shine. (We are running out of daylight here lol) We will have a fire to keep warm, the barn to stay dry, and lots of food to share!

I am finalizing the food list at the moment. If you haven’t already, please comment with what you want to bring to our little pot luck. I think we are looking at feeding abt 45-50ppl.

Also, if you haven’t already, please pay for your entry fees. Catch me on Sunday if need be. No biggie.

See you guys soon! 🍁🍂🎃

Hey guys! I waited as long as I could hoping the weather for Saturday would change in our favor. Unfortunately, it still looks like a wash out. After reaching out to everyone, the best make-up day seems to be Sunday the 29th at 1:00. Please pray for NO RAIN lol.

Hey all! We have finally settled on a recipient for our fun show fundraiser! My Mom would have celebrated her 60th birthday on October 2nd had cancer not robbed her of that. That got me thinking of her cancer journey, fighting with insurances, and the hidden costs that pop up as a result of those fights. Without going off into the weeds too much on my thoughts on medical insurance 🤬(lol) I reached out to the organization that helped her get a wig years ago through ACMH.

Hope Strength and Cure LLC is the organization that helps patients like my Mom with wigs, prosthetics, compression sleeves etc. Our donation would go to their Patient Care Fund where they can allocate our funds to patients who are fighting with insurances to cover their needs.

For example, she told me of a case where a woman needed a wig due to treatment, but because the treatment wasn't chemotherapy, her insurance denied it.

Or another case where a lady had insurance, but her copay for a wig was still $150 and she chose to go without.

Or another case where a lady needed a breast prosthetic but because she didn't lose the breast due to cancer... you guessed it... the insurance denied it.

Once our donation is used from the fund, we will be notified as to how it was used, which makes is that much more personal. So dust off your wallets folks! (I'll even dust off ours too lol) and let's give these patients a little support and a little breathing room.

Hope, Strength & Cure LLC provides a wide range of personal appearance solutions due to problems with hair loss, breast surgery or lymphedema. Hope, Strength & Cure LLC has over 20 years of experience and expertise. We offer a one-stop solution for multiple problems. The concept of offering hair opt...

Haaaay guys! The show is coming up quick! Please PM me with the final number of guests coming from your crew so I can have a head count for food. 🧡

Also, I have a few suggestions on who to donate this years fun show money to, but would love to hear from you all if you know of anyone that could benefit from our little fundraiser.

EVERYONE is welcome to dress up for the costume contest. Siblings, Parents, Pets etc!

Doggos are welcome but must stay on a leash 🐶♥️

See you guys soon!

More safety and emergency drills this week. Tuck and roll kids! 🥴

Very interesting video showing just how important saddle fit, weight, and balance are.

It's about that time again! 🎃
Your kiddos have been working very hard this year and are ready to show off to their family and friends. We will have a food sign up posted in the barn as well as a class list just like last year.

PLEASE PRAY for nice weather! 🤞🙏 We MAY be able to push it back a weekend if we get rained out, however the 14th was the best weekend for the majority of the kiddos so lets just pray that the weather cooperates.

Last year, thanks to your generous donations, we were able to give $500 to a very sweet family who was unfortunately hit with some very unexpected medical bills. This year however, I would like to hear from you all. If you know of a family or friend that could use a little boost or a little support, please private message me. They can remain anonymous if they wish, but they are also welcome to come and hang out with us the day of the show! And as always, additional donations are not expected but greatly appreciated.💜

Over the winter, when I am not bossing children around on horseback, I operate a print on demand Esty store.

I figured I would extend the opportunity for you guys to buy any horse related shirts privately at a lower price than listed on my storefront. I will be making a few posts to include those soon. Please don't feel obligated to order, but it's just something fun that I have started doing in the off season to fund the food bill of those ungrateful horses of mine lol

To order a shirt, please PM me with which shirt you would like to order, Size, Color, and your address. 😊

The prices for each shirt include shipping. Orders will be placed after payment is received.

I also have many other non-horsey designs and products on my storefront.
If you feel like checking them out, the link is https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlushingBridle?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

If you find something you like, and want to cut out the Etsy middleman, feel free to PM me about those as well for a lower price.

Thanks guys!!

Hey guys! It's been a while since I have offered T shirts for sale. Ordering will be a little different this time around. Each shirt will have the sizes available posted in the comments. Please PM me with the Color, Size, and Address you would like it sent to.

Orders will be placed when payment is received.
Price listed includes shipping.
Cash, Paypal, or Venmo. 😊
Thanks!!

Ok guys!! It’s a little early, but I am starting to plan and get ready for our end of the year halloween fun show!! 🎃👻

Your kiddos will be helping me narrow down our classes to include their favorites and I will start stock piling on prizes soon lol

Food signs ups will be posted in the barn in the next week or so.

Once classes are posted, entry fees can be collected. Just like last year, all entry fees will be donated.

LETS TALK DATES:
I am thinking of hosting it on a Saturday. Possibly toward the beginning of the month? So that narrows it down to the 7th or 14th? Ish? Please reach out if any vacations/plans conflict with those dates and we can try to find one to suit most riders.

What stayed the same:
-ALL families/friends are still welcome.
-Costume contest is still on! We will have trophies and prizes again.
-Please bring your own chairs.
-We will still have a bonfire. 🔥

Changes from last show:
-We have more parking!!
-We have a porta potty! (Although the trusty old farmhouse pipes held up great last year 😅🤣)
-We will have just a couple less classes since last year ran a bit long.
-The food table will most likely be locked away in a CLEAN horse stall. (Trying NOT to repeat the Great Barn Cat Incident of 2022) 🤪

QUIET people make LOUD horses & LOUD people make QUIET horses.
Here’s a little clip of our dance party between thunder storms. 🎉💃🏼

Edit: All jokes aside, I record mainly to help me identify holes I left in her training and foundation. This bucking bs is not and WILL NOT be a daily occurrence lol

You win some, you lose some. Stuck that landing though 😅🤙🏼

Peep Grandma coming to check on me in the background 🤣

Disengage those hind quarters folks. 👌🏽 Slowly taking away her bolting crutch.

Miss Callie Girl 👑

06/02/2023

Would like to welcome Miss Callie to our training program. I cannot get over how much she looks and acts just like Grandma horse did in her younger days. Here’s to lots of exposure, wet saddle pads, and a summer full of adventures, sweet girl. 🍻☀️

Yearly friendly reminder 😊

05/27/2023

Just because this view never gets old and after 8 yrs, I still love my job ❤️🌳 Thankful for a packed schedule and awesome kids that keep me going.

Throwback pics to September 2017 when this crazy lady plopped off of the trailer and into our family. Never would have thought then that she would be teaching little ones some day. ❤️

Conditioning is going well for Biggie Boy 💪🏽😊.

I am grateful to be teaching the next generation of equestrians. May you always be kind, uplifting, and brave. ❤️

And when you run across the complainers, the do-nothing ers, and the self righteous “can do no wrong”-ers, remember that is much more their problem than it is yours. The horse industry is a $122 BILLION dollar PER YEAR industry. Much bigger than you could ever dream. There is room for you too. ❤️

Dear Horse industry,

Stop being awful.

Stop putting others down for the sake of one's own prosperity.

Stop the whispers in the warm up ring.

Stop the snarky remarks behind closed doors.

Stop with the clicks and underhanded complements.

Stop with the need for newest and latest fashions or tack sets but never riding your horse in fear they may get dirty.

Stop manipulating others words or actions.

Stop normalizing poor sportsmanship and start normalizing folks who work hard.

Chances are if you've had horses long enough you've encountered some sort of this. From the competition world, to trail riders, to rescues, to top level riders, it's everywhere and it's terrible and it's got to stop. It's got to.

I've met riders, young and old, who are petrified to ride infront of people because some where along the line, someone told them they weren't good enough. I've seen talented people quit because of gossip and I've seen people give up on what they believe in because folks made them belive they were only 1' tall.

When you see a rider kicking them selves after a bad ride, tell them great job for hanging in there and give them some tips.

When you see that girl show up in the rusty old bumperpull, know she likely put everything she had into her entry fees.

When you see an organization fighting for what they believe in, fight with them.

When you see the girl too shy to ride, ask her to help you out by hopping on to keep your horse company because it would be an awfully big help.

When you see the girl scared to death in line up remind them why they are there and they have this.

When you see the girl discouraged over progress, remind them how far they have come.

The world is full of ugliness, horses should be our escape, not a place we feel belittled. We are all incredibly blessed to have Equines in our life. Becoming better Horseman is hard enough without having folks tear you down.

Please start normalizing raising each other up.

-Erin O'Neill 🌿

Welcome back Cricket! Our favorite Spring reconditioning client. ❤️ He is such a good boy and is already very well trained. We are just here to put him through a steady workout program and to help him safely lose his winter fluff. Boot camp starts tomorrow bud 💪🏽🏋️.

☀️Snuggles before our workout tonight ❤️ Fashion on point as always 👌🏽🤣

Our lesson horses have enjoyed their time off and are now back to work and getting the Spring s***k ridden out of them lol

As long as reconditioning continues to go well and horses stay sound, I’ll be in touch within the next few weeks for Spring scheduling!! 😁

Please send prayers and/or positive vibes our way for a fun, safe, and successful 2023 season. ❤️
