So when you have kiddos riding and had a great lesson let's play a little and put our little 10 year old Quinn on our biggest (baby) the amazing Chino. So proud of you. After the initial OMG moment of how big his athletic movements are compared to the smooth med pony... Quinn embraced the fun and even jumped a few jumps...

A little late but so proud of the girls, This show had a lot of firsts. First time showing Rosie and Jameson. Kes' first time showing and everyone was a rock ⭐. Jameson was a last min substitution for Kes, and the two were amazing even after some drama schooling. He proved that he was the right guy for mom, he has brains and beauty. And Roe and Quinn had to change over from the perfect Bella, and ride miss Rosie who we hadn't shown before, she proved she has the brains to go with her beauty. Thanks everyone for making showing fun, onto the BR HJA in October....

Still catching up on the Olympics, watching the relay races in the rain, and it is pouring down. This is why unless it is thundering and lightning it is good to ride in the rain, in order to learn what are the challenges, and what your horse thinks of the rain.

BY MAX AMAYA Although my riders’ accomplishments in the show ring are important, I never underestimate the value of solid flatwork as the foundation that makes all the pieces come together in competition. At home, we don’t spend much time jumping big courses; we save that for the show ring. Inst...

It’s disheartening and unbelievable to listen to people blame their horses for anything and everything that goes wrong.

It has been a busy time for us. We sold our lovely Indy, back to his old barn in Michigan. Could not have asked for a better situation. So it was on to finding a new perfect horse for Wendy Pagenstecher. She wants to be able to jump and show before she gets to old.. So we ended up making a trip to Colorado (first time there it was awesome) and found our new perfect guy Jameson. He fits perfectly with our alcohol themed horses... So after waiting what seemed for ever to get vetting and shipping he arrived this week. So please welcome Jameson thank you hullko and Emerald Hills Farm. Congratulations mom on your new baby who is basically a Chino look alike but a bit smaller...
