Blue Moon Rising

Blue Moon Rising Farm is an adaption from Blue Moon Mending (an equine therapy program).

We now focus solely on development of horse and rider partnerships in dressage. Rising is emblematic of horse and rider partnership improvement and team development. Blue Moon Mending was created for the purpose of restoration of mind, body and spirit. The focus population is people who work to support others in their healing process, i.e., clinicians, program directors, addiction counselors and s

o on… These people work so hard to take care of others they often sacrifice their own well being in the process. I believe in taking care of the individual, the front line staff, the team so they can be truly present for the people in their care.

What a fun weekend!

We started by going for gold! Goldfinch that is, this bird was determined to tease Chelsea into thinking she could hand feed it. 😆

The girls gifted me this amazing apron for Christmas so we sported them Saturday as we worked on our braiding skills. 🙂

Such a supportive team! Cruising around on Saturday with the Blue Moon Rising team shirt and Sunday in coats and rain gear to cheer the riders on, all with smiles and genuine cheer ☺️

Everyone had A-HA moments and improved with every ride! Shelby received her second Training Level score needed to qualify for Regionals! So now both girls are qualified for Training level and Dressage Seat Equitation. Next goal for both girls is First level, Sophia came super close in her last ride today. She and Delta are growing and improving all the time. Shelby took home some more show reserve championships this time. Go Shelby!!

Elli stuck with Kia despite his nonsense and had some really great moments. She also rode in Dressage Seat Equtation. Such a great opportunity for a mini lesson from a judge!

Jess is new to our team this year and this weekend was her first effort at USDF recognized show. She and Indie did awesome!
We are looking forward to seeing this pair develop.

Finally Mr Cash and I, received a qualifying score and personal best as a team for PSG. We are looking forward to our homework...well I am at least ;)

We will all be back next month!

Thank you to Christel, Gail and all the volunteers for making these show possible 🙏😊

Final Cut Review

24/12/2024

We are excited to announce a significant shift at our farm from equine therapy focus to team development between horse and rider and horse/rider pairs with each other. The Blue Moon Rising team is intentionally small. We have 3 junior riders, 1 amateur and 1 open rider, in addition to myself. I am very excited to work with these amazing people and horses. They have helped me connect to the team spirit I have been longing for as a coach. Jennifer Kotylo will continue to guide us in our training program.

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning

Crazy title right?!

It’s taken from a book that inspired a short tv series designed to help people manage their stuff. Stuff ends up being both emotional and physical. The show features a team of Swedes, of course, who help people on their journey to organize space.

Building on our theme of balance, connection and harmony managing our stuff will be a recurrent underling theme.

So as I take on “the ongoing project that is the garage,” I have been reflecting on this lovely concept. Let’s break it down shall we…

Gentle - It’s so important we are gentle with ourselves when going through our stuff. Gentle means allowing ourselves time to work through our boxes (again emotional or physical), empathy to recognize emotions that might come up and fortitude to endure the process.

Art - it’s considered a beautiful or desired product and very messy while in process.

Swedish - traditionally no nonsense and flourish in clean organized space.

Death cleaning - not embalming 🫣 instead encourages us to organize our stuff so that it is honored and placed appropriately or it will just end up in the waste bin of life. In other words, be accountable with yourself or it will go to waste. This is a rather deep concept. I will attempt to tackle it throughout the year.

For now, let’s check in on how we are all doing with our projects 😊

Our Story

Blue Moon Mending was created for the purpose of restoration of mind, body and spirit. We seek to support intentional living and consciences choices to improve our daily lives. We actively support veterans and their families through an annual retreat late summer. We provide equine assisted learning and therapy opportunities using the eagala model. These sessions give the participant(s) an opportunity to look at life challenges from a different experience - problem solving using tools discovered through these sessions. Finally, we provide team building between horse and rider in the form of team assessments, identification of expectations and goal building for each member of the team. Whether your goal is to have a successful show season or a better connection with your trail horse we can help you develop a clearer connection and improved equine partnership.
