A post of appreciation . 🥰

Appreciation to the family who wandered up to my farm over ten years ago and put so much trust in our program. 🥰 One daughter has successfully completed her junior career and her little sister is stepping into her shoes now!

Appreciation to an incredibly coachable kid who works hard and lets her passion drive her success. Rosie, I am so proud of you for facing all the challenges you’ve endured with an open mind and letting your horsemanship shine through in your riding! 👏🏻

Appreciation for an incredible horse who we bought off a video from Europe as a jumper. Through plenty of flatwork and opportunities, he landed a fantastic career as an equitation horse. Thank you .jack.bains.experience for getting this special guy to the states! Thank you for allowing us to have him back for a few months to give Rosie a great indoors experience! It was so nice having him in the barn again! ❤️

Finally, I have endless appreciation to the trainers who have taught me valuable lessons that I can now apply to my own students. My farm feels so small in comparison to those that I aspire to be like, and I know we have a long way to go, but I’m grateful for every opportunity presented that gets us one step closer! Most of all, I’m thankful that I get to do what I love everyday! 🥰

Congratulations Rosie on a successful first and last junior medal finals! You got around some difficult tracks and made the cut in a most competitive age group flat class! Excited to see you continue to shine in your college riding career! 💙🎉

Last week, we floated home as we reflected on ’s amazing week at her last Junior Hunter Finals! She has work tirelessly on her horse and has gone on a rollercoaster ride to get him where he is today.
Her classic round Thursday she shook off the nerves and gave her horse a very confident boosting ride around the international ring! They finished middle of the pack in 34th due to one hard rub out of a line. In the under saddle Vanny strutted to 28th in an incredible line up of horses! Moving them to 29th overall. Handy day on Saturday, they laid it down and receive an average score of 83 (Rosie’s lucky number)! I was speechless after their round. They remained 3rd in the handy and 1st overall for several trips right until the top few riders went. In the end they were honored with 10th place in the handy and 16th place overall in a field of 76 amazing 3’3” Large Junior Hunters! Congratulations again Rosie on such an incredible achievement! We are so proud of you and Vanny! 🤩🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This past March, in their last AHJA Kick Off Show they won:
🏆 Champion Junior Hunter
🏆Champion AHJA Hunter
🏆 Won the $1500 Hunter Derby with two scores of 89!
🥇First Place in the Junior Board Equitation Challenge
🥈Won a very close second in the Junior Medal
And to top it off,
🏆 WON the Under Saddle Invitational for a second consecutive time!

Rosie has worked exceptionally hard in her riding career! She puts in the work on and off the horse. She is a true horseman and is an amazing role model to all of our riders! We are so excited to cheer her on at this fall and enjoy the last few months of her junior career!

Happy Birthday Rosie! Hope you have the best day! 🎉

FHF/ TALLC Spring Hunter Classic (Taylor’s Version) Results (From the Big Ring):

Emma and Eagle stepped back into the show ring and had some wonderful rides! I am so proud of Emma’s tenacity and hard work she’s put in recently with her very green horse! Your patience is showing in the progress! 👏🏻😊

Elizabeth and Tegan marched around the Schooling ponies with great ribbons both days. More green moments from Tegan on Saturday but Sunday they were 2nd in both over fences in a lovely group of ponies!

Jane Ellen and Nemo also had some nice rounds together in the schooling ponies and regular ponies! This team is working hard together each week to learn and grow! It takes a tough kid and a huge commitment to bring along a green pony and I commend JE for rising to the challenge! The path to success is not linear. Keep up the good work Slim Janie! 🥰

Sam and Bally put in nice rounds over the weekend and were 1st in the eq flat on Sunday and Reserve Champion in Pre Childrens on Sunday!
