We had a great time at the @flallbreedhorseshow today at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center! Marley kicked it off with two great 18” jumper courses which she rode beautifully on Pippa Fae. We had a pretty long break to check out some other riders and classes before we jumped back into the afternoon. Cara rode Pippa Fae again in both ground poles and cross rail classes and did a great job at her first show as an adult! Rachel did a phenomenal job on Stryder in her hunter flat class and her two ground pole classes! Sophia finished out the day on Stryder with a great jumper round and two lovely hunter cross rail rounds! All our students are bringing home lovely ribbons (and a cone 🤣) but what I’m most proud of is the great horsemanship, excellent riding, outstanding team work, and our truly wonderful horses. ❤️ Thank you to all the friends and family who came out to support them!

Schooling before a show gives our riders a chance to prepare themselves and their horses for the sights and sounds of the new places they’ll be riding for the show! All of our riders had a chance to school (or practice) today at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. The horses settled in like pros and our riders all had great rides 💕 We know everyone is well prepared and ready to ride their best tomorrow!
These two young ladies may never have met if not for their mutual love of horses. It turns out, they both signed up for Ms Angelica’s Horsemanship Course, and they found out they have a lot in common. Today, they got to ride today, and learned a little about drill patterns (😆 which they accurately compared to horseback synchronized swimming). There was lots of laughing, lots of chatting, lots of begging to not be done at the end, and lots of smiles.
THIS is inclusion ❤️

We have several students, including this young lady, who have been working super hard in order to show their skills off at the @appyacresllc Combined Test on Saturday! We would love to invite parents, family, friends, and other riders out to cheer them on! We will let you know ride times when we have them, but for now, plan on joining us Saturday morning!

😂 Well, we had another night full of pouring rain, but no thunder, and these young ladies begged to ride anyway… so enjoy them living their best lives 🤣 and… pray for the rain to stop!

We brag on our lesson students all the time, but how about a shout out for our lesson parents?! Thank you, lesson moms and dads, for supporting your kids! Thanks for paying for riding lessons, trusting us to teach your kids the right way to do things in and out of the arena, for cheerleading, for sitting out and watching in the rain/heat/cold/wind (or sometimes all four in one lesson because it’s Florida), for learning along with your kids, and (of course) for recording those memories along the way! ❤️ (Seriously, how cute are these two recording the lesson in sync?!)

Sometimes things don’t go as planned, and sometimes you have to learn to dance in the rain 💕
Impressed with this young lady’s dedication… and Ms Zoey’s too 😂 but I think they were all having fun!

😂 Do you want to tell her she looks a little crazy when you find her itchy spots or should I?!
Did you know- our horses are already starting to shed out their summer coats?! 🫣 When the daylight hours start to shrink, it signals the horses to start growing winter coats- even when it feels like 105 degrees out like today! Shedding can be an itchy process, and Ginger has been enjoying the currying part of her grooming sessions a little extra!

It can stop raining any time 😅
