Great first day at VHC! ⭐️

Nora had a nice dressage test, she struggled with a little tension but otherwise hit her marks! In the stadium, we had a great run, but unfortunately knocked down two rails. We are looking forward to cross country tomorrow!

Louie has settled in nicely and is all set for his grand entrance down the center line tomorrow! 🐎

Great day at Course Brook Farm!

Nora competed at Prelim today and secured first place! I'm incredibly proud of her determination and strength throughout today's show.

Luna competed in her first Training and secured a second-place spot. So proud of how far this mare has come.

Loui was fantastic; he had a strong dressage test and stadium round. However, due to the footing, he began to question his confidence during cross country, and we decided to retire him.

Big thank you to Abby and Courtney for giving me the opportunity to work with such great horses.🤍

This handsome grey gentleman, Mido, came into our training program just shy of three months ago. He arrived jumping small fences and with a great foundation to start our training program. Within our short time together, he has excelled in the eventing world, confidently competing at beginner novice and schooling novice/training at home. At the age of six, he has developed great assurance and continues to improve his athletic abilities.

We cant wait to have Mido join us at our Aiken location this winter!

A little throwback to Nora's first Prelim event hosted at Huntington this past July. Despite the challenging weather, she gave her all and secured a 4th place. I'm so proud of her and excited to witness her continued growth.

A true AA’s dream, he never has a bad day whether working in the ring or hacking out on the trails.

Proudly offered for sale, Rueben.

“Roo” as he is affectionately known is a 17.3 7 year old Andalusian-Oldenburg out of the lovely Andalusian stallion Yesero Jim. Know as "Papi", Roo’s sire has had a fantastic theatre career as well as a competitive dressage record with Gold Medal dressage rider Yvonne Barteau. His dam Sasha is an Oldenburg mare and was ridden by Endel Ots. She had her own successful dressage career. Rueben was a homebred by Yvonne and displays the talent and willingness to have his own promising dressage legacy. He is a confirmed Second Level horse with scores in the mid to high 60’s. Rueben ended last years show season at Second Level and is currently schooling Third Level movements at home. He is a dream to work with, extremely intelligent and very willing to learn. Roo has taken to learning the movements faster than most and improves each and every time.

Rueben is happy to work in the ring everyday, but is also happy popping over small fences or going for a hack. He is brave on the trail, typically leading or hacking out alone and has yet to say no to a jump! With a wonderful natural balance, all three of his gaits are extremely comfortable and correct. Rueben displays a hunger for a challenge and thrives when he is asked for more. Lateral movement is extremely easy for him, his counter canter work is very balanced and he has just learned his changes. Roo has the talent for a professional and the brain for an amateur; He is good for the farrier and for the vet. He loads easily, is quiet on the ground; and despite his size, extremely respectful of your space and sensible with his body. This guy would make a fantastic partner for a professional wanting to bring one up the levels and for an amateur wanting something safe and fun to ride. He is only for sale as his current owner needs something a smaller and he grew more than we had expected.

For more information please DM. More videos at home training and away at shows available upon request. Roo has a clean set of X-rays that can also be provided. He is located in Aiken, SC for the winter and priced in the mid to high 5 figures. Price will continue to increase with training and show experience.

Ginger Rodgers "Ginger" is proudly offered for sale.

Ginger is a 5 year old large palomino pony, currently schooling 2'3" with plenty of scope for more. She is a lovely mover with a phenomenal jump that would excel in the hunter ring. She is very brave, hacks out alone or in a group. We took her off property for the 3rd time and she jumped around GMHA beautifully.

Ginger is young and would do best with a confident small adult or young rider in a program looking to continue to bring her along. She is an easier keeper, currently barefoot turns out alone or in a herd. She is low man on the totem pole. Ginger bathes, clips, good for farrier and vet. Trailers well same on and off property as well as same being ridden in an indoor or outdoor.

She has dressage training as well and would do well in the dressage world.

Please PM for more details and pictures!
