🌟Appreciation post! 🌟 Anyone that knows knows that she is no stranger to hard work. Throughout the past several years Libby has watched and learned and always offered or helped with anything she could do in the barn and at horse shows. When there is an extra horse to ride, she doesn’t ask who, she gets on whomever it is with a big smile and works on whatever we discuss. I am so proud of the horse person she is, and is becoming, and we all are so appreciative of all her hard work and dedication to us and most importantly our horses ❤️

And this week we added a trainee… also eager to learn, always watching, will ride a broomstick around a course if asked to ☺️ really stepped up. I don’t think this poor girl sat down from Thursday am until tonight. In her top 3 list of goals was horsemanship, learning what is beyond riding, more about care and the process behind it. I said the best way to learn is to always try to be “there”, everywhere, because you can learn something ANYWHERE. Well, she sure took that to heart, and throughout the weekend was in fact everywhere, and if she wasn’t needed in a specific place, she was often next to me at the ingate or setting jumps… 👏 Throughout all this hard work, all weekend she rode GREAT, and then she laid down the most beautiful derby trip with her boy Cisco earning a score of 90!! 🌟

I couldn’t begin to do my job at the ring without the amazing and capable work behind the scenes, and I am so grateful. I am also so happy to share things that were taught to me for so many years, and so proud to see a younger generation of horseman being developed! I am one of so many professionals on a Sunday night, sitting and thinking about the show week with so much appreciation. We are all thinking we MUST absolutely have THE BEST help. And I think we are all right. ❤️

June recap at the farm! We are so happy and fortunate to be able to enjoy this peaceful and beautiful place with our barn friends and horses! Fun days with the best barn friends, both two legged and four! Early morning group lessons and trail rides to beat the heat, watching Huckleberry grow up, riding ponies bare back on lost fly mask expeditions and some horse showing!! (H.S. Pics to follow!!)

While we only met this little man not even 3 weeks ago, he’s made quite an impact, and in the best way possible it seems like he’s been around for much longer. 💙💛 He’s blossomed from curious, to bold and fiercely independent, he also adores attention, and is constantly mirroring what Jolie is doing which is hilarious. He’s very content, and is even pretty insistent that he’s the center of attention and is usually plotting some adventure 😏🙃 Since his half brother is named Sawyer… and after getting to know the little man… Meet Huckleberry! By Carrico out of Jolie, “Huck” will be sure to get into every possible “adventure” he can I am sure!! Huge thank you to everyone for all their help and support, (and the name suggestions because without them he may not have one yet! 😅) he was lucky to be born into the best barn family!!

Name is tbd, we are very grateful mom and son are healthy and doing well ❤️ he is sweet and curious and has 4 flashy socks and a big white face! It’s going to be an exciting day on the farm getting to know the little one! 🐴🥰

Happy belated Birthday to this goofball!! 🎉🎈🎂🥳💙💛 Sawyer turned 4 years old on Thursday!! Such a fun young horse FULL of personality 🙃🙃 We’ve all been talking daily about how Jolie is feeling and the arrival of his little sibling, we couldn’t possibly let Sawyers birthday go by unannounced 😉🥳

Late shout out, but such a fun and successful two weeks at WEC for week 12 and 13, it couldn’t go without a post!! Both young horses, and young riders moved up into new divisions and despite some greeness, and perhaps some nerves, horses and riders handled it very well, and we are SO proud!!! Everyone earned some fabulous ribbons, and we had SO MUCH FUN together!! (Especially the ba****ck ride a buck evening…😂) Congratulations team Maple Wood!! up

Late shoutout for these girls last week!! The cold had us distracted for several days, but I can’t miss congratulating these two on their very good riding last week !! .schuh_ and Pronto had some great trips in equitation and the children’s hunters, and won a tough class! So very proud of .schuh_ hard work, and it’s easy to forget just a year ago was Pronto’s debut in eq and hunter’s from his jumper years, because he is SUCH a fast learner and a trier! ❤️🐴 and her bestest boy Cisco were on fire!!🔥 This team WON the 2’6” derby, and were CHAMPION in the classic!!

So grateful for all the wonderful times that night, but most importantly all the great times with all MWE barn family all year long!!
