Happy Birthday Rhiannon! You are the missing piece our farm needed and before we even knew it. I’m so thankful for you and so excited to see your future unfold as a mother, wife and riding instructor at Galloping Rye 💜

Last night we hosted an overnight for our 8-12 year old students- it ‘‘twas a blast! Full of runaway “horses”, hide and seek, popsicles, sardines, conga lines, brownie sundaes, horse charades, puppies and the Dreamer movie. 🐴

June’s Horsemanship meeting- Mariah taught the kids how to emergency dismount. Our older students watched a video about rider biomechanics. We made fly spray, cleaned tack from the civil war era, learned about how to protect our horses from heat stress, and common riding position errors.

Happy 4th from these cuties

Pippin is tidying up his new spot- further improvements to his stall will be made later this year. He typically lives out 24/7, but I like all the horses to have a home base out of the elements to protect them from lightning and frigid temps with heavy snowfall when the barns doors and gates might be frozen. He stayed here for the night the other day during fireworks 🇺🇸

Successful day loading Monty and Bella into the trailer after Bella had a bad accident with a trailer divider this spring.

Little Phoenix who is here for training did very well with getting his front hooves trimmed after having a regression from bad experiences with a past farrier.

I got to ride my lovely mare, Phoenix, today. I’ve taken my sweet time for sure! She is going to be here for the long haul, and I have great big plans for her. I gave her time to finish growing and enjoy being a young horse after her race training. And now here we are 💜

So proud of Dream, after leaving our farm from 2.5 months in training- she has had a little downtime while her family wrapped up a very busy softball season. This is our second session back at her farm and she was wonderful. I can’t wait to see her first season in 4-H and her first dressage debut.

13/06/2024

Thankful for our own hay, but also very glad when it’s all put away! 😅

400 bales for 1st cutting this year 🤪

Monty and Owen attended their first practice at their local 4-H fairgrounds and did an amazing job together. We took our time making sure Monty felt confident and had time to take everything in. By the end of the practice time, Owen was trotting Monty around the big arena all by himself.

Celeste had her first all western show. She competed in barrels for the first time, halter and a few ranch classes. Her big win was moving up a class and scoring over 60% in western dressage. Go girl-proud of you!

26/05/2024

Mariah worked very hard at our show last weekend! She was always there when I needed her. She was the cheering section for me during my classes. Mariah had a nice clean run during barrels with the correct leads. Now we work on increasing the speed during her runs
Proud of you and appreciate you

Keira did a great job at our horse show last weekend! She worked very hard and tried two sports that she’s been wanting to do but make her nervous. We had a tough go in jumping, but she stuck it out did awesome in barrels. The next day she showed in halter and gave Windsor the direction he needed to do his best and she skated out with some ribbons in walk/trot too. Proud of you girl!
