WHAT A FIRST SHOW! Now that I feel like I’ve finally recovered and we have official points, we can share how awesome these girls did this show! I am so proud of all their hard work! Lots of things we are going to take home and workshop. I think we all learned something new, which is so much more important than any placings we get. We had tons of cheers and happy tears, this has been one of the best horse shows of my whole life. We have so many plans for the future, and lots of new friends! I can’t wait for April show! Here are our placings!

4/5 minis are clipped! I didn’t grab a picture of Pl***oy, he was quite offended by the whole process so he went straight outside. Wanda Vincent did the majority, so credit to her for how precious they look! Lord bless the backs of those that body clip for a living… I’m BEAT!

We had a tail extension try on day today while we did our lesson. Safe to say they look pretty stylish!

A huge congratulations to Kate and the Mornhinveg family for taking the big step and becoming horse owners! Meet Hero, aka All High N Mighty! Hopefully he will be making some appearances at SSRC this season once these two get their groove. I’m so excited for what their future together holds. Welcome to the appy club Kate! Thank you Brynn LeBlanc Gary for helping them find this beautiful boy! Stay tuned for more of this pair in the coming weeks! Nicole Mornhinveg

The girls finishing up their sweets after celebrating Lucy, Tex, Mrs. Theresa, and Misty Thompson ‘s birthday! We combined January and February for this month, but we’d like to start doing some treats for each month that we have birthdays! And yes, the horses got their cupcakes too! Thank you to my mom for bringing the snacks! Such a fun group of kids and parents ❤️

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Topsy Mardi Gras Parade this past Sautrday! Going was a last minute plan, and everyone did their part in making it happen. I’m so thankful for the parents and Mrs. Wanda for donating their time and effort to get their kiddos there and ready! The horses did great, most of them have already done this type of thing before so they cruised on. The parade was Millie girl’s first event out in something loud and rambunctious like this. Even with her being pretty nervous, I am happy with her bravery and working on through it! I am extremely impressed with my girls behavior, I’m so proud to have such a good group of kids to represent my riding program!

As long as the weather holds up, myself and a few kids from our team will be riding in the Topsy Mardi Gras Parade at 2:30 tomorrow! Y’all come see us! Feel free to message if you need more info.

Today is Lucy’s 18th birthday! For those who don’t know her, I’ll give you some introduction. She goes by many names, you’ll hear Lulu, Heifer, Lucy Goose, Mare Mare, Bo**er, Lucifer, Big B***y Judy, Lucy Grace, you never know. Lucy is absolutely a sassy appy (hence some of the nicknames), even though her spots are well hidden. She is pretty massive and her personality is bigger than she is. She’s often times described as “too smart for her own good” and it gets her into trouble. I make fun of her a lot for her attitude, but she’s actually quite sweet. She is intimidating at first glance due to her stature, but is really just a huge softy! (unless you are a mini, we don’t talk about minis…)

All jokes aside, staring at her sale ad at 13 years old I had no idea how much this horse would change my life. We’ve gone all kinds of places and experienced so much together these past 10 years. The pictures I added show that. There is no horse more loyal than Lucy. She is slow to trust, but once she does she has your back. She loves her job and gives her all in everything she does. These past few years I have gotten the honor of watching her share the value of horsemanship to so many young people. She takes such good care of her rider. Seeing her go from strong performance horse with me to deadhead as soon as a novice is on her back is so special. She teaches the kids and myself something new everyday. Even as she ages, she hasn’t lost her goofy personality and youthful energy. She may be snooty at times, but she is always keeping us smiling with her antics. I will never find another quite like her, and I would never want anything different. If I have a heart horse, she is definitely the one! Happy Birthday to my Lucy, Totally a Dreamfinder💙

Some of you may not know this, but I originally started giving riding lessons in my teen years. One of those first kids I ever taught was Lakyn. Today she she came back to start riding again! Her mom found this picture of us from 8 years ago, and one from today. I think we’ve both grown up a lot! She picked right up where we left off, I’m so excited to see her continue her horse journey ❤️ Leslie Ashworth

We would like to formally introduce Mrs. Charolette as our newest horse addition to the Ozan Equestrian Team! Charolette belongs to our rider Glorie, who you may recognize from showing Scout last year in English. Charolette was a rescue horse that Glorie and her family adopted from SFS Equine Rescue about a year ago now. She was set for slaughter when she was thankfully saved! We have lots of work and rehab to do to get her back to riding shape. We have no idea what her real history is prior to the rescue, so we are going nice and slow. She is so intelligent and is progressing in leaps and bounds! She surprises us all the time with her calm demeanor and ability to overcome anything we set in front of her. Glorie and her mom have been diligently doing all their homework to get her ready. We are so excited to hopefully have her in the show ring this year. We are so proud of our Charolette!

Kate and Boo whizzing by while doing some extended lope work the other night. We love to try different styles and exercises to keep our horses and students engaged! Keeps things interesting and minds sharp! Can’t wait to see these two in the pen next year in western pleasure! 📸 by Nicole Mornhinveg

Well now that Christmas has passed we have some of our pictures from our Holiday get togethers! We had a holiday party that we surprised our girls with their placings this year and one with our barn family! Some of our girls have been out so I will be adding them to the post with their gifts as soon as they are given!

A huge thank you to all those that made last year possible! Starting with my super moms and dads that sacrifice their time to support their kiddos in following the dream of riding horses (and many times helping me keep my head on straight at horse shows!). There’s so much I couldn’t do without these girl’s families, they’re always there to keep things going smoothly. Not to mention the very kind gifts they got me. So thank you Nicole Mornhinveg, Kimberly Manuel, Mrs. Theresa, Mrs. Ashlie, Tessie Stoute, and the Wright family. Mrs. Wanda (Wanda Vincent) did an awesome job with her gifts to the girls. I can never say how much we appreciate her! Her generosity and kindness towards to kids is all I could ever ask for. She is so much more than just the farm owner! Of course, a big thank you to my mom (Misty Thompson) for hosting us at her house for our Christmas/award party! It was a huge success and as long as she will have me we will definitely do it again next year! She did an awesome job with the decorations and I know the girls had a good time!

I got some great gifts not pictured, my first piece of official Ozan Equestrian gear (I really need a logo now!), some smell goods, a nice tumbler, and a few things specifically with my Scout. For any that don’t know, he is estimated to be about 30 years old. Most horses retire and stop riding well before that age, but he absolutely refuses. I have tried, he gets extremely depressed and his weight will drop significantly. I guess the kids keep him young! He loves his job and those little girls. As most of you know with a horse of that age, you never really know how long you have left with them, so we hang on to every bit of time we get! I will forever cherish his picture and the necklace they got made for me.

We have a great group of kiddos that have made this program so close knit and they have tons of fun together. We have an even bigger group to show next year! Lots of fun and exciting horse and rider teams for next year! I’ll start posting rider highlights soon of each one as the year goes before we start showing to introduce everyone! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone from the Ozan Equestrian Team!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy birthday to the Wonderful Mrs. Wanda! I am so lucky to have a person that loves my horses and my riding kiddos as much as she does. She has opened her home, her horses, and her heart to us and I will forever be grateful. Definitely become family for all of us! Everyone needs someone like Mrs. Wanda in their life, I’m so glad she is in mine! From me and all of my girls, WE LOVE YOU MRS. WANDA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wanda Vincent

Great group of lessons last night! We were practicing our discipline rail class! Nicole Mornhinveg Kimberly Manuel

So proud of my girls yesterday and all this season! They have improved so much and have really blossomed into little horsewomen! Lots of ribbons to be proud of, and maybe some buckles! They have really put in the blood, sweat, and tears to get to where they are! The last show is always bittersweet. A few of our girls are moving up to different horses so this was their last show with their horse partner for this year. We are sad to see the end of shows for a while and all the big changes, but sooo excited for next year! Different horse and rider partners, and we are looking into new horses and riders joining in with our little team! Be looking at our future post, we have some big plans in the works!

I’m so thankful for my wonderful girls, Kate, Keira, and Glorie, and their moms, Nicole Mornhinveg Kimberly Manuel and Mrs. Theresa. Also my mom, Misty Thompson and Kyle Ozan for helping keep me in one piece. Of course the highest award for all the behind the scenes goes to Mrs. Wanda Vincent. We are so grateful for all of the hard work at home and at the shows, and for generously letting us use her precious minis and horses. We will never find another quite like our Mrs. Wanda!

Watch for added pictures as I get them!
