So excited for my students, Morgan, Keira and Jill, for their participation at the UNH Holiday Jumper Show!

Morgan won her .75m class on UNH's Clem

Keira placed 5th and 3rd in her xrail division, and 3rd in the .65m on UNH's Dutch

Jill placed 3rd in the .65m and won her .75m class on her own pony, Rue!

Super proud of all of these ladies today! I am deeply saddened that I wasn't able to attend last minute, but am deeply appreciative of those who stepped up to help my riders today. (And my horse is ok, just sensitive!)

Thank you so much .eq for putting on this wonderful show. It takes a village!

As much as the snow can influence a lot of groaning from our fellow riders, it sure does paint a lovely picture!

I was lucky enough to enjoy the first real snowy day with wonderful people and horses, ending the day with an updated website! Check it out!

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to ride this incredibly talented and mentally challenging 5yo, Noether TF (DeniroXAbacus) with

Rob was incredibly kind and quick to catch our weaknesses as a team. We had two very productive rides and now have a lot of homework!

Massive thank you to his owner, Crystal Potter, for providing the opportunity to clinic together, and to for trusting me to pilot him.

💖Casually ISO💖

I've had a handful of requests from students about training and consignment board, so I am (slowly and in no rush) looking for 4-6 stalls with preferably an indoor within 20min of Dover to run my small program out of, in addition to everything else I do😅. Can be flexible about location if there is adequate housing on-site, but good turnout and at least 1 paddock suitable for 24/7 turnout is a must.

Not in a rush as my horses are happy and I have training privileges out of a few facilities (of which I am eternally grateful for), but would like to begin to move in the direction of finding my own place.

Who is looking for their next super🌟?

This fun 5yo import is looking for his next 🏡

Solid 1st level dressage and started over fences. Has a lead change. Above is his third time over fences. He not only shows a ton of scope, but he LOVES it. Would truly excel as a 3-ring horse, or just throw him in the Baby Greens at HITS or Fieldstone next spring! Could easily see him being a children's hunter on the "A" circuit.

Easy, push ride. Solid citizen with a can-do attitude and LOVES to cuddle in his stall. Finish him up and watch him shine in the show ring! Located in Dover, NH.

What an eventful summer it's been!

I've been lucky enough to spend my mornings with the wonderful opportunity riding between 5&9 horses daily for Jessica Freiman Dressage, LLC from the 4yos to the FEI horses. What a fun and educational opportunity it's been!

My afternoons have been filling up teaching for the UNH Equine Program, Apple Tree Farm, Hidden Creek Farm and traveling to a number of students on the Seacoast and around Southern NH. I have also recently added the Lakes Region to my territory.

2 out of the 3 sales horses I've worked with and advertised this summer have sold within 30 days!

Henry has come SUCH a long way and feels absolutely incredible. He is now transitioning to becoming the most perfect lesson pony. Teddy unfortunately took a step back this summer to a number of curve balls, but has been coming back into work recently in top condition.

Despite my busy schedule, I still have a few openings for lessons, training and groundwork. Shoot me a message and let's set something up!

✨SOLD✨

Frankie is still looking for his person!

He has been such a good boy for being in inconsistent work. Someone willing to put in a month or two of strengthening work into him will get a fabulous horse at such a good price! (Have I mentioned he's won at BN???)

Currently schooling 2'6 and learning basic lateral movements. A very forward but simple ride.

Another season of NHHSET in the books!✅

I am so proud of all of my riders and spirit members, and I am especially proud that not only every pair made it to states, but everyone learned how to choose to do what was best for their horse. This year was full of learning experiences!

I am so happy to be a part of these wonderful teen's journey. If horses don't want to play, you can't force them, and despite a few let downs this season, we learned how to be kind when your horse says no. How to be light, yet effective, how to improve sportsmanship while at a show, how to take a step back and conquer very real and tough fears. How to trust your horse.

The Bedford High School Equestrian Team ended the season strong with a 2nd place in equitation over fences, 5th place in WTC Trail, and 9th place in practicum.

Thank you so much to NHHSET, volunteers coaches, admins and students for another year of a wonderful program! And a very special 🌟THANK YOU🌟 to Olivia for the use of her absolutely magical creature, Gus! He is a rockstar and my team appreciated your endless kindness.❤️

I am increasing my availability for lessons and training rides weekday afternoons and most of the day Thursdays. Travel rates can be a little flexible if I have multiple people in your area!

I specialize in dressage, jumpers and eventing, but have years of experience in the hunter/EQ rings. Happy to help with rehabs, quirky horses, greenies, etc.

My program focuses on developing a confident and effective horse and rider in a positive and encouraging environment. I can help you accomplish whatever goals you and your horse might have, competitive or not. Being a part of your journey to watch and assist in your development is incredibly rewarding, and it's why I love to do what I do.

I am currently working towards my USDF Silver Medal, have schooled the 1.30+m (even though it's been a while!) and training level eventing. Have restarted numerous OTTBs, started a handful of horses, and rehabbed various injuries.

No lesson horses at this time, will travel up to about an hour and 15 minutes from Dover, NH, open to discussing limited availability for training board in Nottingham, NH.

Hi all!

I am beginning to increase my availability to allow for more students, so I am looking to start filling up my schedule teaching and training over the next year. Happy to take on those of you I've worked with in the past, or if I haven't worked with you before and you're interested, please message me! I already have a few spots taken, let's see what we can work out!🥰

I am also happy to assist in organizing clinics, horse shows, and other events, based on my event management and marketing backgrounds.

My program focuses on developing a positive environment and instilling confidence in both horse and rider. I can teach to whatever goals you and your horse might have. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a horse and rider flourish together. Being a part of your journey to watch and assist in your development is incredibly rewarding!

Just a few things about what I do:

-I've started and restarted multiple horses of various breeds, though primarily OTTBs
-Spent a summer as an exercise rider and groom learning about young horse management and riding flat-racing Thoroughbreds
-I have helped, and can help, rehab various injuries and bring horses back into work
-Assist in the resolution of problem horses (bolting, bucking, rearing, stopping, etc- though usually stems from a medical issue)
-I grew up riding in the Hunter/Jumper rings and have schooled 1.30m+, taking home multiple local circuit year-end championship awards
-I have developed a handful of equitation, hunter/jumper, event and dressage horses, and can successfully debut your green bean at their first shows
-I have schooled Training Level eventing and have brought a few green horses to their first events at BN, though haven't had the horse to compete at a higher level
-I have catch ridden at larger venues such as HITS Saugerties and Saratoga Horse Show, groomed at various large events such as the CDIs at Global In Wellington and Millbrook Horse Trials
-Have developed horses through 3rd level dressage, Baby Greens, 1.10m jumpers, Novice Eventing
-Assisted in the management of a 30-60 horse facility, supervised working students, and prepped facility for shows, clinics, etc
-Spent a lot of time as a working student and groom for UL jumpers, event riders, and an FEI Dressage rider
-Looking to partake in the USDF L Program in 2025 or 2026 as well as other educational programs
-And so much more!!

Happy to help with various riders and horses, from beginners to the overconfident junior or seasoned amateur. I have been asked a lot, but to clarify, I do not have a horse to teach on at this time. COI available upon request- feel free to stalk my socials too - although I rarely get pictures of what I do 😊

The hardest thing about riding a large, strong, and naturally heavy horse, especially when they are 12x bigger than you, is remaining light in your aids.

Working to supple the ribcage while maintaining a quick hind end and an elastic contact is not easy for either of us. Teddy is developing a much more tactful rider, while I am helping him relax his brain a little bit. For such a d***y gelding, he's incredibly smart and easily overthinks, which can result in a lot of tension in his jaw, neck and back. That being said, his go-to avoidance now rarely occurs, and we are working better and better together every day.

I've had this wonderful horse since last June, but he's only been in a consistent program since October. Before that, he was semi-retired for almost 2 years. Despite his INCREDIBLE amount of education, building fitness takes time, and it's given us the time we need to figure each other out.

We are far from ready to compete at a horse show, but I'm hoping to get this cool guy to a few clinics this spring!🥰
