Dressage and Breed Shows were both lovely to attend this year 🌟

Our horses and students enjoyed the quiet, relaxed atmosphere of a smaller national competition. Show management was wonderful (thanks Shannon Pedlar), and even the weather cooperated. We had an amazing reunion with old friends at the breed show on Saturday.

Kudos to our assistant trainer who helped big baby Freyja feel calm and relaxed at her first horse show!!! Anesia’s training at home has helped Freyja find confidence in new environments.

and Yunque are representing Afton Stables at the breed show this year 🐴

So far it’s been a blast! Yunque has enjoyed meeting his countrymen, some bodywork from Sole to Poll, and learning how to show on the triangle. Tomorrow, show day, will be so fun ☺️. This show is now open to all kinds of horses, regardless of registry… so make sure you sign up next year for an opportunity to show your horse how much fun it can be to show.

Also, there are tacos here.

Day 2 of ERAHC dressage was another good one for Afton Stables! We love the quiet atmosphere for young horses and riders working on their skills. Freyja continued her winning ways breaking a 70% again, this time with her owner 💕 and the lovely Firefly made progress outdoors and and Niño had a solid showing in the indoor. We love this show!

The Afton Stables Crew had a successful first day of ERAHC Dressage! All horses and riders made strides towards their goals; be it calmness, focus, or just getting in and out of the ring!

💫Today’s star✨ was young Freyja. This was her first show, training level debut, and she won both her classes, breaking a 70% in a big class! But most importantly, she was calm and relaxed, and just a pleasure to be around at the show. We love having Freyja in our program 💕

💕Hi! My name is Firefly🔥 🪰 and I live Farm in Charles City County. This summer I went to my first sleep-away camp at Afton Stables.

I was a little said when my mom left but soon it was dinner time and I felt better. I met a lot of new friends. I even met a cute boy named Rio. He’s a little older than me, tall dark and handsome, and he has the cutest Dutch accent.

The teacher there made me work kind of hard, but she also had snacks. She rode me in a clinic and I had to canter a lot! Everyone said I was really pretty and a very good girl.

I was happy to see my mom when she came to get me, but I hope I get to visit again soon!

Happy from our Moomins to yours!!! 🦄🦄🤍

Afton Stables is proud to be home to the largest dressage Moomin on the eastern seaboard, Eoghain, and his best Moomin friend, Niño. Do you have a Moomin?

We are going!!! Angela and Nino and Chelsea and Freyja will both compete in the Dressage Show. Maddie and Yunque will represent Afton Stables on the weekend in the breed show (for the first time since 2008 😳). We are encouraging everyone to enter the breed show as there are many opportunity and exhibition classes this year for horses that may not be registered. It is great exposure for a young horse! Low pressure environment, everything in the East Complex, and friendly competition. Don’t let Maddie show alone!!
