Our kid and horse to talk about are Miss Brynn Zimmerman and Cheer Me Up Buttercup aka River or Wiva! First Brynn - Brynn is probably the nicest, most helpful, most smiles, the best sportsmanship, and not only is she a great kid, but she is one of the most improved riders over the last year!!!! She is always helping someone in the barn and often asks to stay and help, too 🥰. She truly loves her horse and is like a mother hen when someone else is riding her in IEA!!! She isn’t only a fabulous horse kid, she is a great athlete, too!!!! It is her kindness though that makes her shine ✨

Now, River - welllllllll, Miss River has many opinions and believes she is the queen boss 👑, but hands down is the BEST teacher for our lesson kids who are just starting. She is respectful and LOVES her kid - you can always tell the difference when Brynn rides her!!! River prefers to not have other horses close to her, hence her big, sparkly red ribbon 🎀, but happily does her job as long as there is space to perform 😂 WE LOVE RIVER and she is one of the farm favorites!!!!

Good luck this season Brynn! You will be a rock ⭐️ star!!!

Soooooo, the horse summer has been super busy and I need to set an alarm to do these write-ups about all the amazing people at the farm!

Kelley Masarik and Always Playful aka “Boots” are our pair of the week! Kelley serves her community volunteering as a firefighter and gives back wherever needed! Kelley and Boots are a wonderful pair - I think she may keep the shiniest horse ✨ Kelley is helpful to all the parents, kids, and the horses! I appreciate how she will keep a watchful eye on everyone, as she passes through the farm! Kelley loves to have fun and did I mention she makes the best pizza 🍕! Not only is she a great horsewoman, mom, grandmother, and holding a full time job - she owns Mione’s Pizza, which is the BEST!!!! Thank you for always being here and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

We missed a few weeks, but we are back to the regular schedule and this week rider is Myla!!!! There are nothing but great things to say about Myla as a young lady, an athlete, an equestrian, and a great mentor for our youngest riders!!! Myla rides ANYTHING - naughty ponies are her specialty 🫣💣🔥 She is one of the nicest kids I have ever met - she’s a great friend, teammate, and always has something kind to say to everyone!!! ❤️ Myla takes every opportunity to work on herself and puts any extra ride time she can get in on whoever needs help! I have had the pleasure of watching her persevere and do great things!! I am looking forward to coaching her through IEA and show season!!!

She will accomplish big things - strong, kind, all smiles, and willing to help! Good luck this year, Myla!!!

Josie Adams and Mr. Jack 🤩 are the horse and rider combination of the week! First, she is the HARDEST WORKING 💪 barn lady I have met. Josie has never been afraid of hard work and she is what we refer to as a true horse(wo)man. She practices something every day with her horse and has brought him along beautifully 💕 Josie is a very kind, caring young lady with a great sense of humor…she helps EVERYONE in the barn and guides the youngest riders. She has a passion for Slim Jims, so we try to stay fully stocked!!! 😂😂 I am sure this team will perform brilliantly this show season and shine ✨ Best of luck in 2024, Josie and Jack!

Rider of the week is Emily Yeagley 🥇 Emily made it to IEA Regionals and is our barn “crash dummy” (her words) because she rides anything we ask of her 🐉, like dragon ponies 🤣. Emily is a talented athlete and rider! Most importantly, she is an excellent student with a HUGE HEART ❤️ Her sense of humor and comebacks are at an Olympic level! She has never been afraid of hard work or hard things because she is one of the most independent and resilient young ladies I have ever met!

Emily will graduate this year and wants to pursue a career in the medical field. I will certainly miss her and she always has a spot with us to ride!!! I am sure I’ll see her pop in to ride - she is definitely part of the family!!!

Great vibes in the barn - the right combination makes it fun!!!! 🩷🩷🩷 a big good morning from Tito!!!!

We are back from tropical 🌴 to snow ⛄️!!! This week our rider and horse combination are Diem Zimmerman and SST She Looks Good 😊 Diem is one of the most balanced riders I have had the privilege to watch and she continues to be stronger 💪 Diem’s work and riding ability has earned her the TOP SPOT IN OUR ENTIRE IEA REGION in her class earning the most points of all riders in 5 shows! 🥇 There is no doubt she will continue to succeed at this sport! Diem is not only a fabulous rider, but an athlete who excels in softball 🥎, basketball 🏀 , and archery 🏹 ! A young lady full of grit and determination - don’t tell her she can’t 🐲

Her partner is a beautiful black mare we call Mercedes. She is full of life and fun 🤩, she makes faces regularly when she is bored 🥱 A six year old, so willing and so smart - she is a diamond 💎 for sure!!! We love having Mercedes in the barn and she is a lesson favorite among most of the barn kids! I am blessed to have her in our program! 👑 she is our resident diva!

Aloha 🌺🌊🏄‍♀️ This week’s horse and rider combination come to you while we are in Hawaii!!! Addie and Gator 🐊 are an incredibly complimentary team - you can see his love for her as much as she loves him. Gator has a BIG PERSONALITY and lots of his own motivators - especially food 🍪🍎🥕! He loves his pasture time and sunning himself, but his favorite hobby in the winter is customizing his winter blankets to his liking 🤣 Addie is a gifted rider and a HUGE HELP whenever she is in the barn. The younger kids adore her and she has a way of guiding them so calmly 🩷🩷🩷 Addie’s sense of humor is what i adore the most about this young lady. She is super witty, independent, and hard-working!!! Outside of the barn you can find her working at a local restaurant or picking up cheesecake and pickles at Walmart 🍮, but most fascinating is she PILOTS and FLIES PLANES ✈️ !!! Gator is her co-pilot and athlete. He is not only beautiful, but gifted in the ring and out! Look 👀 for him at IEA next year and some spring and summer events.

02/02/2024

Best of luck to Diem Zimmerman, Madelyn Bowman, Parker Hentz, and Riley tomorrow at archery 🏹 I hope you all shoot your best!!! 🎯

Addy Spicher and her mare Miss Mabel aka Bikini Bottom for shows 👙 Addy is probably on of the most determined kids I have ever taught!!! Even though this pony can be a tougher ride for our older riders, Addy never gives up ☀️🩷☀️ Addy is THE QUIETEST rider at the farm - I think I heard her speak twice - her Mom assures me this is not the case at home with her siblings 🤣🤣🤣 Addy has put a lot of time and care into her pony and is ALWAYS making sure her feet, her blanket, her halter, and her stall is just perfect!!! Her Mom is a HUGE horse helper, too 💥💥💥 super, great horse owners!!! Now, Miss Mabel has lots of opinions and has decided she will be a jumper and will be seen in that ring with an older rider this year!!! Despite her humble beginnings as a pregnant rescue, she is loved and talented!!! We used to call her potato 🥔 until we saw her do a course one day for fun - 😮 our faces were like this 😮, she will do leadline and then hit the jumper ring - she is a queen 👑 and an extra special girl!!! We all love her!!! We do think she believes she needs to be completely dirty to get treats because she does her very best to cover every bit of that light hair every time her owners come to visit!!!
