March 12, 2023

The moment that changed our lives forever. March 12, 2024 marks the 1 year anniversary of Jonathon’s accident. After suffering a traumatic head injury that nearly killed him, the past year has thrown every possible challenge our way, and while we would love to say we are on the other side of it, we are adapting to what we are considering our “new normal.”

The only reason we made it this far was because of the people in our corner fighting with us each step of the way. We would like to thank the instrumental individuals who gave up everything so that we could go on together.

Thank you

Chris Soleau for being there for Kelly and Jonathon in every possible way she could be. Chris has been the rock of the family and is the ultimate support system for the entire team making sure everyone is taken care of.

Cayden Hill for keeping our business and livelihood, Millar Brooke South alive. Without Cayden we would have had nothing to return to. Cayden oversaw our entire operation with the help of a great team and we could not be more grateful for the sacrifices he made.

Catherine McLaughlin for moving to Atlanta to be a much needed support system for Kelly while Jonathon was at the Shepherd Center and for keeping everything running smoothly up in Canada.

Rachel Wilks for taking over Jonathon’s day to day care in Wellington so that Kelly is able to ride and train. From the beginning of the day to the end, Rachel is with Jonathon every step of the way.

Our incredible clients for sticking by us and being patient while we figured out how to move forward in this new capacity. We wouldn’t have MBS without you and for that we thank you.

Everyone who has donated to the Go Fund Me. Without these funds, Jonathon would not have been able to receive the care that he did.

Our close friends who spent countless hours and nights, taking shifts in the hospital watching over Jonathon and making sure Kelly was taken care of.

There are so many people who are not aware of how far their help went and truly without your support we would never have made it through this year.

Jonathon Millar lives by the rule: "No hoof, no horse."
A healthy hoof is the foundation for a healthy horse, and Jonathon and Kelly take hoof health very serious at
“Hooflex® Therapeutic Conditioner Liquid is a staple in our program and no horse ever leaves the barn without it on! This keeps our horses' hooves moisturized and strong. Hooflex contains antibacterial and antifungal agents, and it helps prevent infection in both wet and dry conditions” says Johnathan.

Millar Brooke South behind the scenes 🎥 One of our young horses, Blue Cach (Chacco Blue x Cacharel) is going to take us through a day in his life here at Millar Brooke South! Stay tuned to hear more from Blue and our other horses in their own vlogs coming soon 💙❤️ #millarbrookesouth #vlog #dayinthelife

Pony wrangling is a full-time job Our youngest (and potentially hardest-working student) Dakota, takes care of all three ponies here at Millar Brooke South. With hopes of qualifying for Pony Finals later this fall, Dakota makes sure that all three ponies, Peter, Tully, and Winnie are looking their best. Dakota shows Lost Boy “Peter” and Holy Smokes “Tully” in the Medium Green Pony divisions and in the Pony Medal classes. While Peter and Tully show, our pride and joy, Winnie gets to have all the fun as our at-home hacker. We love her so much that Dakota keeps a heart clipped on her hip at all times. Our Kare-Pro cordless clippers are perfect for quick clips and fun designs like Winnie’s heart. #millarbrookesouth #karepro #ponies #ponyhunter #ponyfinals

M. Michael Meller’s Fire Fly and Kelly Soleau-Millar placed 2nd in the 1.35m jumpers on Wednesday to kick off their week at the Kentucky Spring Horse Show 👏

April is for quiet time with the horses 🖤 After a busy winter season, nothing feels better than spending some quality down time with our horses as they take their vacation! We are all officially moved up to Kentucky for the spring and summer and are enjoying a bit of a slower pace before spring shows ramp up. Spring in Kentucky is one of our favorite times of year. Coming from Florida where it is hot every day, the horses and the staff all love the lower temps in Lexington. Time to break out the sweaters for people and ponies! Kelly’s go-to sweater is the cashmere crewneck from @blueberryhill_boutique #spring #millarbrookesouth #kentucky #vacation

The best things come in small packages… And many colors! You may have noticed that some of Millar Brooke South’s horses have been sporting a new all-black color scheme 🖤 Thanks to @ogilvyequestrian we get to have the best of both worlds for our horses, ponies, and mini-me’s We still love our classic navy look, but stay tuned to see @ksoleaumillar sporting our new all-black look at the ring! #millarbrookesouth #ogilvyequestrian

Welcome to Millar Brooke South ❤️💙 Team Millar Brooke South had another incredible year performing at @challengeoftheamericas! Huge thanks to @ksoleaumillar @caydenwwhill @rnwilks @annesoo_xo @dakotazehler_4 @caballuscarlucci @sarah_sturgesllc @biostarus and @alex_granato @madseasonllc for helping to make this performance come to life! #millarbrookesouth #challengeoftheamericas #winterequestrianfestival

Gearing up for WEF 10’s young horse classes with the one and only, 🍀 #millarbrookesouth

Happy birthday to our always-smiling, unicorn-loving, one and only Kelly 💖 We love you so much and wish you the happiest of birthdays!

Full chaps kind of moment for Hunter Week #hunterweek #wchr

Girls just wanna go fast 💕 Millar Brooke South kicked off our 2024 WEF season donned in full out pink, light up glitter for the Battle of the Sexes class! Kelly Soleau-Millar and Farmers Proud HS laid down three speedy rounds for the girls team. Though the ladies may not have won the class, “Farmy” was a true MVP laying down one of the speediest rounds of the night, winning her head to head face off against a member of the boys team 👏 Thanks @rnwilks for lending us your incredible mare for the night! Farmy is currently for sale. For more information please contact [email protected]

Humans aren’t the only picky eaters… At Millar Brooke South, we take a unique approach to our horse’s diets and keep everything natural. That means no processed feed for our competition horses, a forage-based diet, and GOOD QUALITY HAY! After years of experimenting, we feel like we have found our winning recipe with this approach. Millar Brooke South spends a considerable amount of time on the road traveling from show to show, and with different hay available at each competition, our Haygain Hay Steamers ensure that our horses maintain consistency in their diet. Not only do the @haygainusa Hay Steamers eliminate any dust or bacteria, but they also make the hay way more appetizing for our horses, and clearly Shadow can’t get enough of it! No matter where we are or what we are doing, we don’t go anywhere without our Haygain hay steamers and foragers.

Yesterday during the $145,100 CSI3* Grand Prix M. Michael Meller surprised Jonathon and Kelly with the M. Michael Meller Style of Riding Award during USHJA Young Jumper Championships week at @ Traverse City Horse Shows We were just as surprised as we are honored to have been selected as the recipients of this distinguished award. To be added to the list of not only incredible riders, but also incredible people who have hoisted the trophy before us was something so special. It certainly has been a journey thus far on our way to a full recovery and we are well on our way, but far from the end. Thank you Michael for the honor and thank you to the entire equestrian community, our family, friends, and staff who have all helped us get this far. We still have our nose on the grindstone and will keep pushing onward 💪

Gary giving us all of his energy and passion during the USHJA Young Jumper Championship jog this afternoon 🙌 QBS Equestrian LLC’s Doonaveeragh Balou “Gary” is excited to take on the 8-year-old USHJA Young Jumper Championship division this week with @soleaumillar at @traversecityhorseshows #millarbrookesouth #QBSequestrian #younghorsefinals #USHJAyounghorsechampionships #younghorse

Horse care and recovery are of the utmost importance to Team Millar Brooke South and with such a large program of top performance horses, efficiency is key to keeping us on schedule. That’s why we love Quinn’s Equine Poultice Wraps. Instead of lugging around heavy and bulky traditional poultice, Quinn’s makes poulticing faster and easier with their pre-portioned paper and poultice wraps. Horse show days are already long as it is, and the post showing routine is no place to cut corners. Quinn’s Equine Poultice Wraps are a staple in our horse show recovery routine thanks to their convenience and efficiency! #quinnsequinepoulticewraps #horsehealth #recovery

No one can keep up with this plain bay mare 🤎 Team Millar Brooke South is headed to @traversecityhorseshows for GLEF III & IV 👏 we can’t wait to watch M. Michael Meller’s Fire Fly and @soleaumillar rock the 7-Year-Old young jumper division 💪 📸 @manesourcemedia #youngjumper #canyoukeepup #showjumping #manesourcemedia #millarbrookesouth

What an emotional feeling stepping into the ring for the first time in a long time, finding a new normal, and even winning her first class back in the ring on her first horse of the day! While the journey is far from over, spending the day at @splitrockjumpingtour and at our home base in Kentucky for the summer was an incredible feeling for the entire team ❤️  Huge thank you to everyone who has helped us to get to this milestone in Jonathon’s road to recovery! We are thrilled to be reunited for the week here in Kentucky and get to do what we love 🙌 #stridesforjonathon #millarbrookesouth #splitrockjumpingtour
