Ponies are all tucked in and ready for the polar vortex to descend! They have plenty of hay, blankies, salt, and got big scoops of soaked beet pulp with their dinners, so now we just wait and pray everyone does ok.

Bosco wants to remind everyone that weather cancellations are typically not made until an hour before lesson times due to Florida’s unpredictable weather nature! If it is raining, we will cancel. If it is dangerous to get to the farm, we will cancel. If it’s cold? We will bundle up. If you would like to cancel your lesson for the cold, our 24 hours cancellation policy applies.

😅 Ms Krista would like to add that her crystal ball is not working today, and she can’t tell you if your lesson will be cancelled in 3 days! We love you all and promise we will do our best to let you know what’s happening as we know!

Mark your calendars! If you’re interested in showing, you’ll want to join us for the horse show meeting on Jan 25th at 1:00! Show dates are included in the second graphic. We will release camp info at a later time, but we wanted to put the dates out there. We will ONLY offer camp experience for current students this year.

You’ve heard our name- Paramount Adaptive Riding Center- but have you ever stopped to consider what it means? Adaptive means we take traditional lessons and adapt them to be accessible for ALL students. For some students- this may mean having horse leaders and side walkers and using communication cards or ASL (I’m not fluent- but I practice and try hard!)- and for others, it may mean we just go slower in our directions and provide more cues, visuals, or break things down into smaller steps. It means horseback riding here is inclusive- something we can do regardless of a label we may or may not have. And Paramount? Quite simply- we will never stop working to be the best- taking the best care of our horses, continuing to be the best instructors we can be by continuing our own education, and providing the best riding experiences for our students. ❤️

We are on the hunt to grow our herd! We prefer care leases but will have an appropriate budget for the right fit as well. ❤️ If you have the potential right fit, please reach out!

Hang in there with me- this might be a long one….

Lesson horses, and especially those in an adaptive riding program, have to be pretty darn incredible. They have to be calm, kind, patient and brave. They have to be absolutely selfless- putting their rider and their rider’s safety first. They aren’t a dime a dozen, and finding a good one is like finding a needle in a haystack. We are so incredibly blessed to have that in Stryder, Ginger, Pippa, Big Mac, Odie, Poppy, Shine & Prince.

Unfortunately, we’ve come to the decision that Boomer doesn’t quite have what it takes to make it in our lesson program. We had agreed that if he wasn’t the perfect fit, we would return him to his owner, and we are exercising that option. We also brought another horse this week who also unfortunately doesn’t seem to be settling in like we’d hoped.

We aren’t giving up. We know there are the perfect horses for our program out there, and we will find them. It just saddens us that these two haven’t come in and been as successful as we’d hoped.

If you are willing to help our search by expanding our budget, that would be greatly appreciated. If you have a horse that might be a good fit, please reach out. We will require a trial because getting married on a blind date just doesn’t seem fair to either party. We want what’s best for us, but for the horses too!

In the meantime, we’ll keep being thankful for the incredible horses we are blessed with, and we’ll keep doing our best to take care of them to the best of our ability. We’ll be thankful for other owners who also want what’s best for their horses and have allowed these two we are returning to try life here. We will pray that they do find their perfect place and perfect fit! And we’ll keep searching ❤️

How it started vs how it’s going 🥰 4 years later she’s still doing horses on her birthday with us! It has been such a pleasure to watch this young lady grow into such a beautiful, kind rider that our littles now look up to! Happy birthday Marley! 🥳

🤣 No, it’s not a space commander, it’s Prince Charming, rocking his blankie for tonight’s temperature plummet! Thank you to the team who helped us prep for tonight including Christina, Gail, and Amy who cleaned paddocks, Tony who scrubbed and filled waters, and Ms Zoey who made a special trip back to help with all the blankets! All the horse have had their salt, soaked beet pulp, have plenty of hay, and are blanketed up! Stay warm out there friends!! 🥶

Winter Storm 2025 ❄️

Winter storm 🥶

It may have been cold outside today, but these warm fuzzy moments are worth the chilly fingers and toes 🥰🫶🏻 #dareyounottosmile #adaptiveriding #inclusivesports #poniesofinstagram #yuleefl

Did you know, horses need routine dental work just like humans? @jeffklepingeredt was here today to “float” 5 of our horses. Floating involves using various tools to restore the alignment and balance of the horse’s teeth. Even more impressive, Dr Jeff does this without sedation (🤣 I would have bet money that Shine wasn’t going to get done without some sedation on board, but he is a PRO)! Your donations help us to continue to provide needed routine care- Pippa, Ginger, Boomer, & Shine are all smiling their thank yous!

So proud of this one for cantering her first crossrail (on purpose 😂) today!! 💪🏻❤️

We had such a fun morning at Winter Camp!! We started by feeding the horses and then quickly moved in to an extra long jumping lesson! After some arts and crafts, the girls all got to be among the first few students to ride our newest horse, Boomer!

It’s never lost on me that God chose a barn for the birth of Jesus. I imagine that silent night wasn’t so silent, but those quiet moments? They were still filled with my favorite sounds. Munching on hay, soft footsteps as the animals shuffle around in their stalls, & contented breathing… not silent, but peaceful 💕 May your Christmas Eve be filled with peace and love!

🎶 On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eleven volunteers volunteering, ten jumpers jumping, nine ladies riding, eight year old race horse, seven legends lounging, six silly ponies, five painted things, four fuzzy legs, three sockless legs, two blue eyes, and a Stryder who’s a bit drafty… 🎵 Count down to Christmas with us as we share our wish lists this year! This one’s a little different as it’s just for our volunteer team! Our program is asking for: ✅ Manure spreader ✅ Pitchforks ✅ Scrub brushes ✅ Ryobi batteries (for our drills and other tools) ✅ 2x6x12 boards (most commonly used size when horses break fence boards- $10 each at Home Depot) You can find these items on our Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3230BLHG3939M?ref_=wl_share DM us with your email to commit to a sponsorship or become a hay hero. Or making a one time donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=NZHLKKCDEAPKY

We had so much fun at our Paramount Family Christmas Party today!! Thank you to everyone who came out and shared in some Christmas cheer! 🥰 Do you have a favorite moment from today?? Drop it below! ❤️

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! #inclusivesports #inclusionmatters #adaptiveriding #horseshow #yuleefl #draftcross #warmbloodsofinstagram
