Next up for introductions: Meet Butter!
Nicknames: Butterbean, Butterball, and Pretty Girl (we call it like it is!)

Butter has been part of the Questover family since day one—she was our owner/trainer’s very first horse and holds a special place in our hearts. These days, she’s a beloved part of our lesson program, perfect for either total beginners or advanced riders. She knows when to take it slow and when to show off!

Butter loves all apples (she’s not picky!), but Cosmic Crisps are her absolute favorite. She also has a soft spot for anything fuzzy, twisty medal courses, and long trail rides—especially the kind with a gallop or two.

Want to meet Butter in person? Come take a lesson with us and see why this pretty girl is such a favorite around the farm!

Meet the Horses! 🐴
First up: Lesson horse Eddie!
Nicknames: Edcow, Mr. Ed, and just plain Ed!

Eddie is the newest member of our herd, and we’re so excited to introduce him!

Before joining us, Eddie spent about 15 years as a school horse at St. Andrews. When the program closed, he semi-retired here at Questover Farms, and now he’s our go-to guy for beginner and novice riders.

Eddie is absolutely loving the slower pace of semi-retirement. His favorite things? Orchard alfalfa hay, crunchy carrots, and relaxing ba****ck rides. 🥕💚

We’re lucky to have such a kind, steady soul in our barn family. Schedule your lesson and meet the wonderful Mr. Ed!

✨Putting in the work with my own horses is where it all starts. Every ride is an opportunity to grow, refine, and lead by example—both in and out of the saddle✨

🌻One of the best parts about riding two completely different horses is having two completely different goals. With Butter, it’s all about refinement—working on the little details like haunches-in and shoulder-in to further her education. Eddie, on the other hand, knows those things, but the challenge is getting him to engage his core and show up with ✨passion✨. I’m grateful for both of these awesome partners who keep me learning, growing, and reaching for better every ride.

If you’ve followed me on my personal account, you already know Butter is my go-to, do-it-all mare. She’s a rock-solid trail horse, has dabbled in cow work, tackled cross-country courses, shown in both hunters and jumpers, and will happily go ba****ck in a halter one day—then turn around and jump 3’ the next, just because I asked her to.

There’s a common belief in the horse world that specialization is the only path to success. But in my experience, versatility builds a better horse. Each “off-discipline” experience made Butter sharper, more confident, and better in the show ring.

Cow work improved her lateral movements. Cross-country taught her to be careful and bold. Trail rides gave her the brain and body to handle pressure with ease. The things that were supposed to distract us? They ended up being our biggest strengths.

So here’s your sign to try something new with your horse—something totally different. Chances are, it’ll make you both better. 😉

✨PROGRESS>PERFECTION✨

In horse training and riding, it’s easy to focus on outcomes—straight lines, clean transitions, perfect posture. But real horsemanship is built on consistent, incremental progress, not perfection.

Each ride is an opportunity to improve communication, build trust, and better understand your horse. The reality is:
✅ Horses (and humans) learn through repetition and release
✅ Setbacks are part of the process
✅ Growth often happens slowly and quietly

Perfection isn’t sustainable—but progress is. If your horse is more relaxed today, if your timing was just a little quicker, if your ride ended better than it started—you’re moving forward.

It’s amazing what the right support, consistency, and guidance can do. When I first met Pogo, she was reactive, anxious, and had a strong tendency to spook and bolt. We took the time to really understand her, address the root of her anxiety, and rebuild her confidence from the ground up.

Her rider has done the hard work —facing her own nerves and learning how to communicate clearly and what her own body was telling her (she does it professionally too! Check out flyingchangescoach.com). Together, we’ve built a team that trusts each other.

Helping horses and riders grow together like this is exactly why I do what I do. I’m so proud of both of them and honored to be part of their journey.

✨Looking for thoughtful, partnership-based training that supports both horse and rider? I’m now accepting new clients for lessons and training in July—and yes, I can travel to you! Let’s work together to build confidence, connection, and lasting progress✨
