Good luck to Riley!! Riley is heading off to college in Arizona. After spending so much time together over the last 10 years (Has it been that long!?! 😳 Did I count right!? 🤫). it is sad to see her go- but I am also excited for her to get to experience new adventures. I can’t wait to hear all about it! 😊

JJ’s last couple of days before heading to retirement were full of carrots, snuggles, loves, and a good bath for our dust bunny boy. 😊🥰 We will all miss him!…especially Tina who really bonded with him….but he is already having a great time with his new pasture mates. ❤️

It is so nice that the daytime temperatures have cooled off enough to ride outside again. I love our indoor arena for very hot or inclement weather days, but it’s equally nice to have such a gorgeous outdoor arena to ride in. 🥰❤️🐴

Welcome to beautiful London!! London is a 16 year old 16 hand Hanoverian mare who Erika Reining is graciously sharing with us as a lesson horse. London is a gorgeous mover, has a super sweet personality, and has phenomenal dressage training. I am super excited for my students to have the opportunity to learn from her and humbled that Erika is trusting me with her much loved mare. Thank you Erika!!!

A few moments from last week’s lessons. When wildfire smoke rolled in early in the week we changed our lessons from riding to in hand so the horses could get attention, some easy walk movement, and mental stimulation while minimizing stress on their lungs. As the air cleared up we slowly returned to our normal lesson plans. ❤️🐴

Our barn family had a great time getting together this afternoon to socialize while watching the Olympic dressage musical freestyles. 🥰🥇🥈🥉🐴

Thank you to Cate for organizing and setting up a great spot in a poolside cabana with some big screen tv’s at Arrowcreek Country Club. Also thank you to to Julie for helping with the cute table decorations. The setting was gorgeous, the kids loved swimming, and the dressage was so fun to watch together. ❤️❤️

I was too busy chatting and watching to think about taking pictures.😊

Our beautiful sweet JJ 🦄 is stepping down from his position as a master of starting new students in their riding journey, and in building confidence, feel, and the fun of horses with everyone he meets. He will be moving to a green pasture with new friends for a well deserved retirement.

JJ has been such a wonderful friend to me and has been a phenomenal partner in teaching. I will miss him, but am also very happy that he will get to enjoy this next stage of his life.

If you have a JJ experience or story that you would like to share I would love to hear it!! Let’s fill the comments with JJ love that I can pass on to him before he moves. 💕🦄

I love those weeks when things start to click for everyone. 🥰🐴🦄❤️

Day 2 of the cavaletti clinic with Erika Jansson was way harder than day 1, and super interesting and helpful. Stella & Snowday and Kate & Mr Ex all worked on collected gaits on a bending line. 🥰❤️🤩

A huge thank you to the Jennifer Smith and the Sierra Nevada Chapter for putting this clinic on, and to Erika for coming out and bringing all of your cavaletti toys. ❤️

This indoor arena is a blessing when the temperatures climb! 🥰 Everyone (horses and students! 😁) look forward to a cold hose off after working. It’s a great reward for a job well done. ❤️

Stella & Snowday looking AMAZING😍🤩 in the cavaletti clinic with Erika Jansson. Thank you Jennifer Smith and Sierra Nevada Chapter for putting this clinic on. I can’t wait to see what they do tomorrow.🥰

The first day of the cavaletti clinic with Erika Jansson was so much fun!! Stella and Snowday totally rocked it and had a blast. 😍🤩 It was really interesting to see so many different horse types all benefiting from the same set of poles. For example, Snowday got really good at taking longer strides (look at that reach!! 🤩) while the bigger horses developed collection and cadence. Thank you to Jennifer and the Sierra Nevada Chapter for organizing and putting this great clinic on. We can’t wait for day two tomorrow. 🥰

Congratulations to Stephanie on completing Global Equestrian’s Level Intro C. 🎉🎉

There is so much horsey care knowledge in this program! I really enjoy teaching from this program in addition to Horse Sense Learning Levels and knowing that my students are getting a thorough and well rounded equestrian education. 🥰🐴

It’s so nice to be able to play with the horses in the shade when the sun turns up the thermostat in the summer. 🥰 ☀️ 🐴
All of the horses and riders practice horse handling and riding skills on the ground (together referred to as groundwork) in addition to in the saddle. It helps everyone be much more clear in their understanding of the aids and the expected responses. 😊 Kat is becoming quite a professor pony in helping students understand groundwork. ❤️🐴

Mia and Jim completed their two legs of the Pony Express Recreation ride. This is an event they both look forward to every year. :) Mia is one impressive mare with the difficulty of the two legs that she runs.

Congratulations to Stella and Snowday on earning a blue ribbon and high point junior/young rider doing First Level Test 3 at Dressage in the Sierra!!

Showing is so often fraught with nerves, second guessing, not feeling fully prepared, and a million reasons to not show up. These two have struggled with many of these challenges, but showed up anyway and went into the ring with relaxation and confidence. That alone is a huge accomplishment!! When mistakes were made in the test (as there always are!), they remained cool and continued to ride. There were many lovely moments in their test and I’m very proud of this pair!! 🥰❤️🦄

Thank you Julie for letting me play with your beautiful boy Tarzan in his first ever dressage show (at the age of nearly 24) this weekend!! He tried super hard and showed everyone that even the older guys who are retired from their original job (jumper) can still get out, have fun, and strut their stuff. One more blue ribbon for his lifelong collection. This one for dressage Second Level Test 1. 🥰❤️🐴

Thank you Sierra Nevada Chapter for putting on Dressage in the Sierra, and to all our fabulous volunteers, the judge, td, emt, Beth (for all your help with our entries and so much more!), and Franktown for hosting the show. It takes a village!!!
