We wanted to take a moment and congratulate the Williamson family of adding Casillias, “Chico”, to the family. Thank you to Susan Johnson and Spring Mill Farm for making this work. We are so excited to have Chico in the barn and can’t wait to see what this duo is capable of!

As we finally thaw out from the cold weather we have had, let’s recap the Jan. Prime Time Horse Show!

It was our baby horse group that came to play with the oldest being 8!

🇩🇰Vemmetofte I’m Noble, new ride of Sydney Hott, put his big boy pants on and laid down some amazing trips in the Baby Greens and 5&Under Young Hunters. So thrilled with how this newly turned 5yo is.
- Proudly offered for Lease

💅Diamanti HVH, owned and show by Cate Williamson ended up 2nd in the MOHJO Derby, and beautiful trips in the Modified Hunters. Sydney Hott and “Diva” won the first class of the show in the Green Hunters and ended 10th in the National Derby.
- Proudly offered for Lease/Purchase

♟️Kings Gambit, owned and shown by Cate Williamson stepped up to the older children’s hunters division and laid down solid rounds all weekend.

🍼Quintessential, owned by Megan Dohr, Cate Williamson surprised everyone by stepping into the 3’3 ring on this catch ride. Placing 3rd in the Older Large 3’3 Junior Handy and Champion in the MOHJO EQ. Sydney Hott piloted Quintessential to a 8th place finish in the National Derby.

With these results, we are looking to expand our program (Board/Lesson Program/ AND Show Program). Please reach out with any questions or inquiries!

A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.

Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.

Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.

The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.

The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.

If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.

Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders 🐎❤🐎
