One Week Until the Gypsy's Gait Show with Jan Bellows!

We’re just a week away from show day! Make sure your entries are submitted to help keep the day running smoothly (or at least as stress-free as a show day can be). https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftLwjGOUlB50nSp_wJhwX-Ba_0kdRvrYyoV_IKvjfpCHpJ6A/viewform?usp=header

Special Feature: Mom’s Showmanship Class
The dads set the bar high now it’s the moms’ turn! Riders have been working hard with their moms to compete for the title of Top Gypsy’s Gait Mom for 2025. The pattern is more challenging this time, but we believe the moms are ready to rise to the occasion.

This same pattern will also be used for our schooling-level riders, so now is the perfect time to start practicing.

As always, junior through adult riders will receive their patterns at the show.

Let’s get ready to show off all the hard work we’ve put in this season. See you soon!

Creatinine was trending down but his BUN was still high. We will recheck in a few weeks but hope that he will hydrate and correct this naturally!

Gideon Update – Exciting News!

The vet just left, and we are so happy to share that she believes Gideon is trending in the right direction. She took another blood test to monitor his kidney levels, and we’re hopeful for continued improvement.

He was officially cleared for a mash supper — and he absolutely cleaned his bucket. He’s had several bowel movements that are much more formed, is drinking well, and is now happily grazing out on the grass for the night.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the love, prayers, and support during this scary time. We truly felt it — and so did Gideon.

We are incredibly humbled by how many people love our sweet boy. This experience reminded me just how powerful and special our horse community is, and how deeply connected we all are. You have lifted us up, and we love all of you.

We’ll continue to share updates, and are hoping from here on out, they’re all good ones.

Please Keep Gideon in Your Thoughts

Our sweet boy Gideon is going through a tough battle right now with what our vet believes is an impaction colic. We’ve been working closely with the vet and are doing everything we can to support him through this. While we’re hopeful he may be starting to turn a corner, we’re still in the waiting stage — allowing the IV fluids and tubing to do their job.

He’s been alert and cooperative with his hand-walking (as much as Gideon ever is!), and even showed some interest in grass this morning. He’s not drinking as much as we’d like, but he is passing some watery manure and gas, which could be a sign that things are trying to shift. Our vet believes this may come in waves as his system works through the blockage.

We’ve been walking and resting him about every hour, and bless him, he’s really putting in the work.

Gideon means so much to all of us here at Gypsy’s Gait. He’s part of the heart and soul of our barn, and we know he has a special place in many of your hearts too.

If you feel moved to help, and are able to donate toward his care, we would be so incredibly grateful. It will help us continue to make the best possible medical decisions for him as we move forward.

Please send him your love, your prayers, and your good thoughts. We will keep everyone updated as we know more. Thank you for being part of our barn family.

Bragging on our AMAZING show team today!

We had a big day full of accomplished goals, beautiful rides, and strong patterns—but more than that, we had a group of riders who supported each other every step of the way. As always, they worked together, kept positive attitudes, and showed so much kindness to one another.

I’m incredibly proud of the growth we’re seeing in this team. They are really applying what they’ve learned in lessons and it’s showing. One of my favorite moments today was hearing another rider ask our crew how they got their horses so good at showmanship. The same class they used to dread and hope I’d let them skip has now become one of their best. They’re seeing the payoff from all that hard work.

Thank you so much to the Spartanburg Horseman's Association for hosting such a lovely and well-run show. And a huge thank you to our amazing show parents for all the hard work behind the scenes—making sure these riders and horses had everything they needed to succeed today. We couldn’t do it without you.

Side note from me as a coach—while I’m so proud of everyone’s effort, I was a little disappointed we didn’t stick it out in show clothes today. Proper show attire is one of my pet peeves, and just like the showmanship class, I hope they’ll come to see how important the details are as they continue to grow and shine. ❤️

I love all of you and I am so proud of you and the equestrians you are becoming!
