🌟 Jolene and Hannah: A New Challenge! 🌟

We're introducing Jolene to the world of jumping! 🐎

Teaching a horse to jump is all about partnership and understanding. It's not just about the height of the obstacles but about building trust and challenging both horse and rider in a way that respects their unique bond.

Hannah and Jolene are taking it one step at a time, focusing on communication and mutual growth. We're so proud of how far they've come and can't wait to see where this new adventure takes them!

🌟 Throwback Thursday🌟

Feeling sentimental today as I look back on the incredible memories from my youth, showing horses with my very first horse, Ali. 🐴✨

Ali was more than just a horse; she was my best friend and partner in countless adventures. From early morning practices to thrilling shows, she taught me so much about dedication, trust, and the pure joy of riding.
