I am so proud of my own Hypnotic today at Bucks County Horse Park for their fall show. This girl marched right in to any ring I told her. Her previous off farm experience has been very quiet, there was a bit more commotion and lots to look at and she never batted an eye. What a lovely young horse she is.

She got a 70% and training 2 and 3 with a qualifying score towards regionals next year.

The icing on the cake was I was able to take her all by myself and she was perfect!

Thank you The Distinguished Rider for keeping me looking my best and Veritas Saddles for me always feeling safe and secure.

We still have this very special mare available. Bhrilliance is the real deal when it comes to a horse with FEI potential. She’s currently schooling 3rd level with changes developing.

While she’s smaller at 16.1 there is no lack of power here! Her ability to collect is fantastic and I believe she will absolutely shine at the upper levels.

This said she does need the right rider who will not shy away from her power and is balanced enough for her big engine.

Please contact me for more information! I would really love to see this girl find her perfect situation where she can really be brought to her full potential.

We had a great time at Loch Moy for the Spring Fling. The weather was great for April and the facility is really nice.

⭐️ Ryleigh Koch had an awesome first NAYC qualifier with a 67% and 68% in the Jr tests. She also put in great 3rd level tests with scores to 72% getting qualified for regionals 🥳

⭐️ Lindsey Martell did a great job piloting her young horse Pico in their first recognized show together. Learning a new horse in a new environment is tricky and their communication improved each test and earned a qualifying score for regionals!

⭐️Sabrina Wetzel showed Louie and made some definite improvements in her tests. We have really started to change this horses balance and I think once he gets stronger he will be great 💪🏻

Lots of season to go but always nice to have the first show under our belts to know what we need to work on!

✨Hypnotic ASH ✨
2020 Oldenburg mare
(Hennessy x Rubinus)
15.3 but growing (should finish 16.1)

This young mare has it all! Beauty, brains and 3 excellent, balanced gaits. She bad been easy to start and train, never putting a foot wrong. Her gaits are very comfortable and easy to ride.

For a young horse she is extremely well balanced and you can feel the adjustability in her gaits and body to make a top FEI horse.

Scoop her up and hit the show ring. You’ll have a great show partner for years to come.

An easy keeper, she’s currently barefoot with good feet. While she lives in a field with other mares she is also perfectly happy coming into a stall and stands quietly in the stall.

This should sound very familiar to many of my students 🤔

: When you memorize your tests, don’t just memorize the movements, and the letters at which they are performed. Memorize how you go through corners, how you prepare those movements. Memorize what you’ll be doing the five strides before a transition in order to make that transition the most beautiful and effortless it can be. Memorize breathing, staying present, and how you’ll use your body to help your horse do the best work he can do. It’s not just about the pattern! ♾️⁣

Elizabeth M. Hart and Gholdie looking 🔥 🔥🔥!

Very proud of the work Beth has put in to this mare. She has not always been the easiest but Beth has always persevered. Gholdie really struggled with passage but recently had a light bulb moment💡. They are knocking on the door of Grand Prix. Kudos to Beth for her great riding and raising this mare from a foal all the way to a GP horse 🙌🏻

The light was beautiful tonight. Gholdie rocking her cheeta print saddle pad and Beth with her stunning Kingsley Riding USA boots from The Distinguished Rider. They are London’s with old rose sued, brown paxson and rose gold 😍😍😍

Do not fear the chestnut mare!

I hear so often “anything but a chestnut mare” which just blows my mind! First I think a good horse has no color, but chestnut mares have been absolutely some of my best horses. Do they tend to be sensitive? Sometimes. However I think if you develop a relationship with them they will give you 120%

I certainly may be bias as almost half of the horses on my property are chestnut mares. One new horse to us is Trixie owned by Amy Blair Balliet. I am so proud of how Amy has been learning to ride this girl. Amy has worked so hard to overcome after a very bad fall not too long ago. She has fully embraced the “chestnut mare” (an OTTB no less 😉) and is definitely reaping the rewards.

Great job, Amy!! Keep up the great work!
