The Schooling Jumper show at Majestic Oaks went off without a hitch from the weather, providing the children with a tranquil morning experience. Ace daydreamed about jumping formidable obstacles, meanwhile Moose dozed off. Gwen reflected on the hardships of growing up as a young horse, and JJ took a rejuvenating mid-day nap prior to working in the Cross-Country field a few hours later.

With Nicki back in Maryland for the weekend teaching in-person, the weather turned pleasant for David Taylor to enjoy riding all the horses calling Majestic Oaks Ocala Farm home for the winter. Pictured is Sallie getting ready for a jump school in the amazing Florida sun!.

David Taylor and Moose looking pretty fancy this evening!
Moose has come a long way in the past year, he's still learning the ropes of being a grown up!

Tomorrow is XC day at the Majestic Oaks Jan HT! The girls and I were busy earlier this week switching around numbers so everyone knows what to jump! It's going to be a chilly start for the 7am briefing! Brrr! Majestic Oaks Ocala Farm

Just the ones we need for Florida 😁 Bates Saddles
Dave and I are still very much in love with the Bates Saddles Brand! Gorgeous leather, amazing functionality and comfy! Dave is an Advanta fan for jumping as all three of his horses here are in them. I on the other hand, have a more open minded approach with an Isabel Icon for JJ and my "home" saddle, the Innova Mono+ for coach. And baby horse Gwen gets her own Victrix to get started in this winter!

We recieved an amazing surprise in the mail today... LubriSyn HA Family of Products sent Zoe, Nicki and Dave an amazing care package as a congratulations to Zoe for winning the Maryland Corgi Cup last month.
LubriSyn HA has not only proven to be an amazing addition to the Elevation Corgis, but several of our horses are reaping the benefits from their products as well. Thank you LubriSyn for your support of the Maryland Corgi Cup!

We have two super horses available for half lease. Both are amateur/junior specials!

#1 - Include Gold "Elle"
(Red ad)
Lease would be shared with her current half-lessee. See details of her experience in the ad below.

#2 - Cody
(Blue Ad)
Cody is seeking someone that likes to mostly flat and do some small jumping. He is part of my lesson program, but would benefit from another consistent relationship.

Contact Nicki @ 240-405-0193 for details on cost, etc.
Lessee would need to be part of our program and these horses are staying on-site where they currently live. Just north of Libertytown, MD. Easily accessible from Frederick, Mt Airy, New Market, Sykesville, Westminster areas.

I have lots to be proud of with my group of students on the regular.

This particular thing has been a long time coming! Lori Brown and her horse You Don't Know Jack, went out on their own to ride First Level Test 1 at the Fads at By Chance while I was off judging. They scored 70% twice! This is a huge accomplishment!
Way to go you two!

7 years ago, Dave and I took a leap into leasing a farm. Over those years it has built an amazing barn community, full of love, support, acceptance, courage, determination, struggles and triumph!
Life is always changing and now is no different. The farm we and many others have called home is hopefully going to bring many wonderful days to someone new, which means it's time for us to go.

We are not going far, luckily there are some wonderful folks allowing us to join their barn communities just around the corner.

To all of our clients that have called this farm home, THANK YOU!

It's been a while since we posted! Nicki and Dave migrated to Majestic Oaks in Ocala Florida for the winter on Jan 1 and will be in town through the end of March. It's amazing having this facility at our fingertips. Nothing better than an evening schooling and no trailering required! See Nicki and Frankie jumping through the training coffin below.
