LESSONS TODAY ARE CANCELED

However, those of you who own or lease, you’re welcome to come out and play in the snow (arena please, since you can’t see the ground in the field) and NO LUNGING.

Driveway is as clear as it can be, considering it’s gravel, please drive and park with caution. Use common sense while riding, the snow takes a lot out of the horses, please ride responsibly and check for “high heels” often.

Yea yea yea, it’s been a while…but we’re back at it!!

Congrats to Jade on being rider of the month for November! Jade has been riding at Sleipnir Stables for a little over 2 years. Jade is a team player and is always willing to do whatever is asked. She shows up and gives 100% every day. She will ride whatever and will do whatever is needed both in and out of the saddle. Jade just finished her first season of showing on the rated circuit and has some great goals for next season. She has been a great addition to the program. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. There are not enough nice things to say. Congrats on this well earned accolade.

Let’s play a little game.

Guess the breeds!!

08/18/2024

That’s a wrap for Winston National!

Our trainers Maggie Griffith and Charlotte Crump Williams took out a small group this week, but small or not, the family stood strong.

Day one opened with Jade and Inny taking a first and second in the .65, Kinsey on Gin and Jade each winning one of their .80 trips, and Jeannie and her boy Cairo taking 6th in both of their .80 trips, with 13 and 14 riders in each .80

Saturday saw to Jade pulling 3rd in both her .65 and .80’s rounds and Kinsey taking a 2nd in the .80, with Jeannie just out of the ribbons.

Today’s Classic saw Jeannie finishing 2nd and high up in the money with a gorgeous double clear (only one of two), and Kinsey finishing just out of the money.

We couldn’t be more proud of our riders and how they cheer each other on, lift each other up, and step in to help each other out. We are truly blessed to have such a family environment amongst our riders.

Each outing is a learning experience, and since shows are not about ribbons and prizes, we love that our riders are clearly in it for the horses, the learning and the family.

Thank you to our riders and their support systems who make every outing a fun event. Congratulations!!!

For everyone’s peace of mind, 2245 and full perimeter check complete. No major downed trees at this time, and all fences up and in tact. All horses accounted for.
Hope everyone else has fared well.

Riders attending Eventing Camp (or parts of)

Here is our current itinerary -

Monday NO CAMP

Tuesday - What is eventing? An introduction to the world of eventing and the three phases. We will discuss what each phase entails, and what we look for in all three phases. Riding will include a dressage based warmup, pattern work, and striding work around a small course.

Wednesday- we will haul out for cross country schooling, for height-appropriate work for each rider, to help prep for the competition. Trailer slots go to camp participants first, other availability to join for the day is on a first come basis.

Thursday- Holly Leasor will be coming in to teach a dressage lesson to our riders. Priority goes to those doing the full week of camp, riders outside of camp can lesson on a first come basis for open slots. Riders will focus on back to front riding and proper use of aids to encourage proper functionality for dressage.

Friday - we will do a run-through of the dressage tests for each rider, as well as balance exercises both in the ring and the field. It will be an easy riding day, and then we’ll be loading up and shipping down to Lexington. Riders should arrive to camp with all their show and overnight gear.
Friday afternoon/evening we will be settling the horses in at the Horse Center, and checking out our competition arenas. We will go over everything needed for Saturday, then head out and grab dinner, before performing night check and settling into our hotels.

Saturday - competition day. All riders will get to compete at the Jumper Derby hosted by Eventing In Virginia and show off what they’ve learned throughout the week.

LEXINGTON - all riders are responsible for their own horses - feeding, watering, stall cleaning, exercising, prepping and competing. We will work as a team, but remember that your horse is your responsibility.

Any riders not signed up for the camp week that would like to participate in our cross country outing, dressage lesson or competition should reach out ASAP as those spots are limited.

03/24/2024

We would like to wish the best of luck to our riders down in Lexington this weekend!
And a safe ride to all the riders competing today!

12/27/2023

We are a go! Our Ride into the New Year overnight event will be on as planned - if you’re interested, please reach out for details.

We are also hosting a New Year’s Day trail ride - spaces limited.

There is a slight discount for anyone interested in both events - however you’re welcome to choose just one.

The overnight event will offer dinner (a late dinner) and breakfast included in the cost of the event.

12/08/2023

Riders and families!!

We’re entertaining the idea this year to do a Ride Into the New Year event.

We have two options - riders arrive around 2000, we order pizza, watch movies, ride as the new year hits and riders get picked up around 0100/0130, OR (weather pending), riders can camp out in fluffy sleeping bags in the barn (yes, with space heaters).

Who all would be interested and for those responsible for driving, which option would you prefer?

If riders stay over in the barn, we will most likely have a group outing to ihop after morning feed is all done. Riders can be picked up from there.

11/13/2023

Riders!! Dec 17 we will be attending a jumper show - this show starts with poles and goes up from there, so there’s something for everyone! If you’re interested in coming, let us know!

10/24/2023

ATTN RIDERS!! Due to a riders job giving them the middle finger, we have a sudden opening for the show this SUNDAY! If you want in, please let me know ASAP!!! Pre entries only, so this is a very short window of opportunity!

I can’t believe how well the baby went today. Absolute rockstar. Won both his over fences trips in 2’3 Beginner Hunter (course A shown here), and took 2nd and 1st over fences for the Very Green 2’ Hunters. Tri colors in both! I can’t believe how great this baby is ❤️❤️ And yes, I actually did do hunters 😂

Our goal today was weaving the cones at a walk. Of course Henry had to one up the daily goal 🙄👌🏼 Great riding today, kiddo!!
