Over the past few weeks “Ace”, “Pearl”, “Lilly”, “Sonic”, and “Coltrane” all enjoyed some XC schooling.

Sonic has not been to a course in years but per usual thought he was good enough for the Olympics!

Coltrane did a very good job for his first time presented with this atmosphere.

Pearl and Ace were out for the second time this year and were even more brave.

Lilly just gets better and better every time she practices!

It takes a village!

This week allowed some time for “Pearl”, “Peanut”, and “Lilly” to have some fun at Fitch’s Corner! Always so beautiful there! Oscar had a blast hunting crickets, instructing, and living his best life.

Today did not exactly go as planned but nonetheless “Wave” and Jillian were able to pull off a 5th place finish. “Wave” showed significant improvement in the warm up arenas which is a very scary place for him!

If you were out on XC Michael was judging!

XC schooling adventures in the rain make for an extra fun and challenging time! Thank you to Maisy for coming along to video and groom.

This was “Carmen” and Sophia’s first time ever XC schooling. No falls and they got over everything they tried 🙂

“Wave” and Jillian couldn’t have had a better school their first time out practicing for the season.

Logan and “Ace” played around over a few XC fences. Logan has had a bit of a break the past few seasons so it was good for her to get back out there. She showed Ace the ropes and he was glad to get off the farm to do something fun after recovering from stepping on a nail 2 months ago.

LKTA 5/18/25 Hunter Pace

We must have negotiated what felt like 50 water crossings! What an intense first pace for “Coltrane”. Sunny” decided to out jump and leave Lorna behind at one of the crossings at approximatley mile 1 in! So we had to track her for 3/4 of a mile. It was a good thing she went over some jumps on her own and threw off her extra saddle pad. This made her easy to track. “Peanut” turned 30 this year! Who knew this would be the first pace he would lead the majority of the way. He was so happy since he is usually made to go last in line 😂 Thanks Lotta for being the oeader with him. Speaking of last, we finished in last place but we’re glad to have made it across the line. We had some good chats, laughs, and a wonderful adventure along the way. The horses are all sound.
Could not have asked for a better Sunday 🙂
