Sometimes the best thing a coach can do for you is to tell you “not yet”.

It’s easy to get excited about our big goals, but there are always smaller goals we can check off along the way.

I don’t want you to go into the ring and merely survive it - I want you to do WELL. I want you to have a round where your horse looks good and you executed a ride to be proud of.

A horse show is where we test what we already know and the skills we already have. Home is where we experiment with new things.

Your safety is important.
Your confidence is important.
The same goes for your horse.

Being patient never hurts, but being impatient certainly can.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR PONY RIDERS NOW THROUGH THE END OF 2025!

There is nothing we know better than WINNING pony hunters. We have produced ponies that have and still continue to earn top placings with multiple riders at the Royal, Pony Finals, WIHS, Devon, and Harrisburg. Our pony riders have gone on to be professionals.

This is where you want to be if you are ready to work hard at making your goals your reality.

We have decided to open up 2 stalls in our fully renovated pony barn at a reduced price (with 2 pricing tier options) for show clients with ponies.

We are ready to reclaim our pony dominance, and if you want in, now is the time to lock in at a very competitive rate.

Next in our Playoffs Roundup is Jordan.

Jordan not only put in beautifully consistent rounds on her horse, Rex, but also had some great trips on Mickey D, who she picked up as a last minute ride that she hasn’t jumped since Silver 2! She was 3rd on the podium in the 3’ open with Rex, and just narrowly missed 3rd with Mickey as well.

With the stress of juggling 2 horses with 3 divisions all running at the same time, we’re super proud of how you were able to stay focused in the ring, ride with clarity, and make informed and intentional decisions 👌👌. Not only are you great to coach, but you’re the kind of person the whole team loves to have around.

Also can we get a round of applause for how fabulous Rex looks and goes for 25?! It’s a true testament to the work Jordan puts in to maintaining him at such a high level.

Next for our Playoffs Roundup is Sydney!

Syd had fantastic rides all week to pin in all of her hunter rounds and just missed the ribbons in a very fast 0.65 mini prix. We also cannot thank Sydney enough for all her help during the week - we would have been the queens of the struggle bus on Thursday without her 😂.

Most of all though, we are so proud of how you’ve carried yourself through this season. You tried new things with both horses, and when you faced adversity, you gave yourself grace and chose to prioritize building back up in a positive way that would benefit you and your horse. It really demonstrated how much you’ve matured as an athlete and horsewoman, and it’s been a privilege to be part of your growth. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and Windslow ❤️

And lastly, we have to give a special shout out to Jude, who also came a long way this year by embracing her new role as a hunter. Jude is available for in barn lease or part board if anyone is looking for a fun superstar to join our team with!

First up for our Playoffs Roundup is Emily. Boy did you make your first playoffs a good one!

Performance wise, Emily was reserve champion in the puddle hunters 11+, got some great ribbons in the cross rails, and made the final cut for the B eq flat - all with a horse she doesn’t practice on! Emily’s season was unexpectedly turned upside down a couple times, so we threw her on Mickey D at a couple shows as a ‘backup plan’ and she took that opportunity and ran with it.

But more than that, we are so proud of you for rolling with the punches this year and never letting the setbacks take away your optimism. You’re a hard worker both on the ground and in the saddle, and the hard lessons you’ve faced this year have made you stronger. You have been a great team player and example of sportsmanship; no matter how your day goes, you are always the first to congratulate someone (even if we don’t know them) and hype up your teammates with positivity.

You certainly deserved to finish your season on a high note and we’re so happy for you that you did ❤️

Our team may be small, but we are mighty 💪What a ribbon haul for a team of 4 (although all horses that showed with us did qualify!), and this photo doesn’t even include our 3 podium sashes. Couldn’t have asked for a better playoffs to wrap up the silver season, and couldn’t have asked for a better team to share it with (which is honestly worth even more than a wall of ribbons ❤️). More to come on that in the following days 😉

Whether you make it to playoffs or Royal this year or not, try to remember that the moments like THIS are the real “why” behind what we do. The joy of riding should always be worth more than any horse show or ribbon. ❤️

It’s amazing how goals can shift and evolve over the course of a season (or even 1 week of showing, in some of these cases!). Team Tamarak has checked off a lot of goals this season (both competitive and personal), seen many ‘firsts’ (both in milestones and actual ribbons), and grown immensely. We’re into the homestretch now, but let’s see how much more we can accomplish before the season is over 🤩

Congrats Naya on a very successful first horse show! 🥈🥈
