Better late than never!

We had a great time at the Jump Start Horse Show last weekend at the Hamburg Showplex.

Aleigha and Echo killed it in the Leadline as usual with Aleigha stepping up her game and leading her own pony down the aisle to the show ring and in the warm up arena.

Katelyn and Ella worked through some setbacks for a successful day two of showing for their first ever show!

Alexis took Debbie to her first ever show! Starting off unsettled but learning the ropes of the horse show world quickly and enjoying some good snoozing when not showing!

Our good friend Stephanie joined us for this show with her horse Sterling for his first show and had some awesome classes!

We borrowed Stephanie’s son, Ethan, to catch ride Echo in the 18” division and they did awesome for her first two day show! Thank you Ethan for piloting her around and giving her some great rides!

Congrats to everyone who showed and kicked off our show season!

Next stop, Opportunity Series next weekend!

Her ears are lying, Echo thoroughly enjoyed her Bemer session tonight after her lesson and jump session! She let out some big releases including chewing, yawning, and leg stretches! We can’t wait to see how regular Bemer sessions help our horses going forward!

Teamwork makes the dream work. There’s so many things that happen “behind the scenes” to keep a barn functioning at its best, one of those things is dragging our arena. It’s often done by Cody and Aleigha in the early mornings or in the evening, in the case of last night it was after 9pm when they got started and it takes about 30 minutes to drag!

Yesterday was a busy day but it was also a whole year with our Nicholas! Over the last year Nick has helped many riders grow and become even better! Some highlights include Alexis’ 4th ride after having Aleigha when we went to test ride and bring him home, taking Bristol to her first division clean sweep and champion, taking Nicole around the jumper ring for the first time in years, taking Alexis around the jumper ring for her first time ever to be division champion with a 30 second round, Erie County Fair where Nick hates the fireworks but jumped his heart out for Alexis in the 2’9” and Bristol in the 2’3”. Nick has added teaching walk trot and learn to canter lessons to his playbook recently as well and is killing it!

We love you Nick, here’s to many more years with SeekN And DreamN 🩵

We wasted no time putting our new footing to good use! Alexis and Katelyn took the opportunity to take their first rides on their OTTBs, Debbie Darling and Peacearella! These girls have goals of the 2025 Retired Racehorse Project!

Thank you Cody for all your hard work putting in our new footing so quickly!

11/06/2024

It was an exciting day for us yesterday as the new footing for the indoor was dropped off and Cody and Aleigha got right to work spreading it out and ending the evening dragging! We are excited for this next chapter and riding inside this winter!!❄️

We had a great time at Jakkal Hill Stables Fall Schooling Show today!

Julia took Calla Lily for her first show experience in the walk halt division and had a fabulous time with wonderful ribbons!

Madison rode Toby Or Not Toby in the walk halt for a first show back after breaking her foot and were Champion! Giving them the confidence to try the walk trot under saddle and they did great even after Toby was spicy in the warm up ring and Alexis had to get on to school!

Aleigha fell asleep for the actual Leadline class so she got her very own after her nice two hour nap! Her and her pony, Daddy’s Last Dollar, brought out all the cuteness winning over the crowd with her princess wave, giggles, and kissing to make her pony go!

Bristol took Calla Lily in the walk trot for more experience for our cute little pony and they were Champion in the division!

Bristol then took Nick in the 2’ Hunter and had a great time with lots of learning experience, including their first true equitation course! They did great together!

After schooling Toby, Alexis decided she had to show Toby for old time sake and Toby pulled out all the stops and WON a hunter over fences class and were reserve champion! Anyone who knows Toby knows “he’s just not a hunter” but he had to be fancy today competing against his best buddy, Nick!

What a wonderful day spent with friends for a beautiful fall show! Thank you Lauren and the Jakkal Hill crew for hosting, you did a fabulous job!!

Reunited and it feels so good! Dash went home to his forever with his breeder Melinda! Dash joined his half sister and many others in her herd that she has bred and raised and brought back home for the rest of their years!

When Dash told us he didn’t want to be a lesson pony, we listened and did what was best for him as it should always be in our industry! We can’t wait to see what they do together in the years to come.

We love you Dash! 🩵

From small to tall, Bristol has officially ridden them all!

Fun fact: Bristol was our very first student and has now ridden all 7 of our horses! Bristol horse showed all day yesterday and then asked to come clean stalls this morning, she works hard and gets to enjoy the benefits of extra saddle time for her hard work! Today Bristol got to ride Cody’s horse, Yukon, for the first time!

What a great day at the last of the Lofty Heart Stables horse show series.

To start the day, Aleigha had her best Leadline class yet, smiling, giggling, kissing to her pony to go, and winning over the judge with her pony, Daddy’s Last Dollar (Echo)!

Bristol took Calla Lily (Callie) out for her first show with us and did a clean sweep of the walk trot division to come home champion!!

Alexis and Daddy’s Last Dollar (Echo) had some great undersaddle classes placing second in both, even with Echo getting stung by a bee right before being asked to canter! Bringing home a reserve champion!

Bristol and SeekN And DreamN (Nick) had a great day among tough competition to bring home two thirds and a sixth and even lost a stirrup over fences and was commended by many for her great riding!!

Our ponies then got to come home and enjoy the afternoon outside!

If you’re looking for a family friendly barn to advance your skills, we have openings for lesson students of all levels and stalls available for full care board to bring your own horse too! Come check us out!
