We have been working hard to keep making improvements to the farm, and we asked all our barn fam members to vote on a new logo.....
And here is the winner!

A little history..... according to Google of course, "The word "tally-ho" likely originated around 1772 and may come from the French word taïaut, which was used to excite hounds while hunting deer. Taïaut may have come from the war cry taille haut, which was used in the second half of the 13th century. Taille means "the cutting edge of a sword" and haut means "high" or "raised up," so the original meaning may have been something like "Swords up!"
In fox hunting, "tally-ho" is a call made by a hunter to signal that they have spotted a fox. It can also be used to encourage the hounds."

So with a Tally ho, and a charge forward onto grand adventures, we can't wait for everyone to stop by and check out our progress. Derby field is mowed and jumps are being built, trails are cut, and we are ready to rock and roll getting people involved in the joy of horses.

Onwards with eyes upwards!
Tally ho friends!

Lessons, trail training, fox hunt preparation, and many outdoor adventures await.

I would love to see what shaggy and dixie would do for this test 🤣 they truly are 2 of the smartest individuals at the farm.

In a recent university study in England, horses adapted their approach to a game in order to get the most treats for the least effort.

With numerous illnesses from our poor barn family, and lots of vacations and travel, we had one die hard new "little" attend her very first horse show at Barneveld Horsemen's Assocation.
Fifth ride ever and 2nd time going over ground poles. Great job Gabby on your ride on Princess Pony, Ellesmera Heart of Dixie. We definitely have another pony jock in the making 🥰

We are so thankful for opportunities to attend shows like these.

Also, new record for the fastest show ever, and wonderful pony and child wrangling from Alyssa Plows !!🤣

Vermont Summer Festival Horse Show
We love this show so much!

With a few hiccups overcome, all 4 riders came home with new confidence, and an ever-growing love of our sport.

While Mikey's abcess reared it's head, and didn't allow him to show, Ellesmera Sweet Caroline saved the day and piloted Monica Johnson in the long stirrup division, as well as Chloe Payton in the maiden equiation. I could not be more proud of these ladies and their hard earned accomplishments this week. Job well done.

On Sunday, after all the tally's were done, our favorite little wonder pony Ring Around, clinched a blue ribbon in her .65 Jr am round for a champion in the division! Great piloting from Aria Buchanan this week. Now we for sure will never see her in hunterland again 🤣

Thank you to all our barn family at home for keeping the ship running in tip top shape.
I could not have pulled this week off without you💘

Say you love your horses without saying you love your horses 💝 so grateful for these amazing horses this week.

Thursday night and Friday shenanigans with the barn fam.
We love the evenings at Vermont. Ba****ck rides and beautiful weather.
Friday we had complimentary breakfast(yay caffeine for char! ) and then a wonderful jump course clinic with course designer Mark Mcgowan.

So blessed to be able to be at the best show, with some of the coolest people and of course our favorite 4 legged fam members ❤️

Today's a big day!

Mikey and Monica, showing in the long stirrup, Aria and rylee with rosie pony and snickers in the jumpers, and Chloe and KK in the 2' Derby!

Olympic level riding takes Olympic level training.
"you just have to stay at it,” Martin said. “You have to be unbelievably hungry and disciplined and obsessed with trying to be the best. And that’s uncomfortable sometimes.”

Martin adopted a strict physical and mental fitness regimen to ensure he performs at the top of his game in Paris.

It's our favorite time of year.... Vermont Summer Festival time!
Our showcation, because honestly what is a vacation for horse people if there isn't horses in it!
We are so blessed to have been coming to this showgrounds for over 5 years.
And every year might look a little different. But, every year it's still the same fun!
Enjoy this photo dump from Monday- Thursday 😇

Old wisdom tells us not to feed horses before exercise. But this outdated belief might be hurting your horse.
