The storied tradition of Eventing, the ultimate test of horse and rider, continues with the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, hosted at the Fair Hill Special Event Zone in Cecil County, MD. As one of only two 5 Star events in the United States, and seventh worldwide, the prestigious 5 Star (CCI5*) designation is the pinnacle of the sport of Eventing, which is comprised of three phases, Dressage, Cross-Country and Show Jumping.

We look forward to seeing you there!

I love to ride with music and I thought I would share one of my favorite songs to work Smash. We both get so hyped for this song and what it can mean for our pace and drive, and dynamic movement.

What songs are your favorite for schooling on the flat or in the dressage ring? I have a whole playlist we use but love adding more great songs. Share your favorites below, or share your whole playlist!

Being a small business owner in a rare business is not for the faint of heart. Some days I am a saddle fitter.
Some days I am a sewing machine mechanic fighting worlds’ tiniest screws.
Some days I am a pattern maker making new chaps for a good friend.
Some days I am a saddler working with the worst smelling glue to get flaps perfectly laid down.
Some days I am the prevention loss officer, refusing to give up on a tangled spool of welting because importing this stuff is painfully expensive.
Some days I am customer support, helping clients with their saddle and tack questions and needs after an appointment.

And every single day I am a grateful master of my craft, helping clients, and horses, and colleagues, and friends.

When your elastic starts to look like this, it is time to replace it. Elastic loses its stretch and begins to curl and wave at the edges and then no longer provides the relief and stretch for the horse that was intended for the item.

These handmade side reins are beautifully patina-ed leather and now they have some new elastic so they can serve the next generation of horses that use them.

If your girth elastic has started to look like this old elastic *or if your girth only has elastic on one side* it is time to replace your girth!

The incomparable Gillian Higgins of Horses Inside Out, giving you a clear view of what is happening in your horses hooves. Now imagine that whole structure is influenced by the balance of your horse’s hooves. Your farrier is worth their weight in gold! This has been a tough year for them. The wet, then overly dry, then fly stamping, every farrier I know consider whether they could make a living doing anything else. If your horse is sound and comfortable in their their hooves, buy your farrier a coffee or an ice cream, or an all expense paid vacation. 🤣🤣😭

Today while looking up a bridle sizing I read all the way thru the instructions in one of my favorite saddlery training books.

Made me smile.
