One of the last things I like to do before finishing my cross-country warm-up is add in turning.

Broken lines and small fences help make sure the horse is listening to my aids, staying in front of my leg, and most importantly, hunting the flags instead of just following the track.

By the time we leave the warm-up, I don't want to be wondering if we can make the turn. I want both horse and rider thinking, "Yep, we've already done this."

There's almost always a grid set up in my arena… and that's no accident.

Grids make it easy to focus on one piece of the puzzle at a time. They help horses develop strength, improve their technique, and learn how to use their bodies without the rider having to manufacture every stride.

With Fergus, we're working on encouraging him to stretch across the oxers and jump a little wider. The exercises stay simple, but each one has a purpose.

We’re so excited to welcome Coat Defense to the Hablyn Hills Eventing Team!

I’ve used Coat Defense for years, especially their Daily Preventative Powder after winter rides to help keep skin issues at bay when horses are sweating and then going back under blankets.

Now that they’re officially part of the team, I’m looking forward to putting the rest of the Coat Defense lineup to work around the barn!

(And okay... maybe a few hours with my dressage trainer, too.)

Feeling good in their bodies makes every ride a little easier, and I'm grateful to have Tatiana helping keep these horses comfortable enough to do their jobs well.

Look's Don't Lie took a field trip to hunter land at the BEST Horse Show last weekend, and I think she may have found another career option!

Lilly came home with ribbons in both the OTTB Green Hunters and the MHSA Thoroughbred Hunters, proving once again just how versatile she is. From dressage to jumpers, eventing, and now the hunter ring, she's the kind of horse that leaves a lot of doors open for her next person.

Lilly is ready for her next rider to take the reins.

One of the biggest advantages of having a cross-country course at home is being able to school consistently.

I think young horses learn best when they can get back out after a few days to think about what they've learned. Every schooling session builds a little more confidence, and before long, the questions stop feeling so tricky.

If you'd like to come practice with us, our cross-country course is open! We'd love to have you out.

One of the things I love most about having a cross-country field at home (and yes, it's open for schooling 😉) is being able to focus on the whole process, not just the jumps.

I think a lot of riders get excited to start tackling fences and forget that some of the most important work happens before you ever point your horse at a jump. Cross country should utilize your flatwork, not be totally separate from it.

Adara, in particular, is a horse that needs time to warm up and really get her body moving. The better job I do preparing her in the beginning of a school, the better she feels, the better she jumps, and the more confident she is by the end.
