What a show! The girls and ponies did Awesome Again!
Julia and Sky with a much deserved win as they've worked so very hard on the improvement. Our dance came after we caught there was a point miss count and her Reserve was actually Champion 🎉 Lila and Dewey got their 3rd Champion Ribbon 🎉🎉🎉 Emilia had beautiful rides as well but Dewey was pretty tiered from the heat. Mia and Jocelyn we're gorgeous together moving up for sure. Melody with not much practice on Sheneighnae had fast rides as you can see the camera could barely catch them bring home Reserve at her very first show 🙌 Allot of hardwork paying off 👏👏👏👏👏

I'm so honored to be teaching such awesome mini adults. Again Congratulations Cetari with Gracie who she bought from me now competing in cross country and on her 5th in the Nation at IEA as well as some huge scholarships

I'm truly honored to be working with kids, horses and some amazing parents. With this said my phone has been ringing off the hook. I'm trying to figure how much more our horses and program can handle but it's not many more unless your bringing your own horse. With our busy schedule I'm a little slow to reply, so text is best. We do have room on our IEA High School Hunt Seat and Dressage Team. Thank you for your patience!

ATTENTION PLEASE - NO BABY SPECTATORS OR VISITORS!!! This is what Chloe is capable of. She is a 1st time Mom and VERY protective! She will not attack you but attack the baby. Picture baby is sound asleep you enter to see baby, Chloe will stomp baby to get it up to run from preditors. Please DO NOT APPROACH UPPER BARN OR ENTER WITHOUT MELISSA!
Thank you for understanding we need safe adjustment time and have 50 customers asking.

Day Two. Both doing well. Chloe is definitely protective. Baby gets her plasma infusion this afternoon for hyperimmunity to a few diseases. I bred Chloe for her brain but man have I gotten allot of comments on this flashy little girl. Thank you everyone for your congratulations and well wishes!
Love her perfectly placed cowlick.

You've searched and searched but the average in your pocket gelding just hasn't spoken to you? Well meet Tarzan! He'll sweep you off your feet with his stunning stature and joyful knicker every time! This is truly a lovable one of a kind beauty, like a chizzled bronze statue, an equine equivalent to Channing Tatum built and bred with all the muscle, buckskin golden chrome and confirmation one could dream of. We can't say enough how much he'll melt your heart with his puppy dog nature, horsey hugs, soaking up all the love you have to give, taking treats with delicacy and standing for pets all day long! This AQHA is a big ham standing at 16.1 hands so he takes up a nice long leg or will pack around a smaller rider just fine as he's fully tuned in and tuned up to respond to light commands. He's been exposed to a bit of everything water, flags, tarps, cows, roping, trail. This year he's been in full training and ridden by novice riders. Though he is well trained and not spooky he is still six years old. This friendly gentle giant is really an old soul but is game if you're ready to get up and go. Your saintly new best friend is ready to go in any direction with plenty of performance training. Most recently showing in level one western dressage taking firsts and scoring in the seventies on both tests. His first show he had the perfect attitude of been there done that, not looky, great in tight spaces with others as he gets along with mares and geldings alike. This guy has gaits within gaits; a forward straight walk, smooth collected pleasure jog, suspension in extended trot, a lofty canter and go gettem speed. He turns on a dime and takes very little input to do his job right every time, even willing to accept his riders mistakes with no hurt feelings. This gentleman has excellent manners standing tied, cross tied and ground ties. He's very still for the farrier, body clipping, bathing, and even loads himself in the trailer. Tarzan is healthy and up to date on everything. Due to some minor changes in his x-rays, he requires some maintenance, and therefore we have adjusted his price point down from his original purchase to accommodate. He's currently fit and sound for just about any task at hand and always willing to boot.

PM for video and more information.

It was a fulfilling week at Top Spec. I'm truly proud of my riders! They are a representation of my hardwork, ethics, training style, equitation goals and care of horsemanship. My horses and my clients are my passion. This is all I do, live and breathe. There's no one rider that didn't have a personal best this last two weeks. I just want to make sure all you guys know your looking great and the horses are too👏 Please pat yourselves on the back, well deserved!
