We saw this and had to share! We have a lot of great coaches to thank for developing us which in turn has developed our coaching style and the education we pass onto our riders! Thank you!

This image captures the essence of the relationship between a coach and an athlete. It shows how coaches invest pieces of themselves—knowledge, experience, passion—into their athletes, helping them grow, excel, and reach their full potential.

Behind every great athlete is a coach who believed, guided, and gave more than just instructions. They pour time, energy, and heart into molding not only the athlete’s skills but also their character, resilience, and mindset. Coaches are mentors, motivators, and sometimes even life-changers. They give so much of themselves to see others succeed.

To all the coaches out there—thank you for your selflessness, dedication, and unwavering support. You shape not just athletes but also leaders and strong individuals for the future. 🙏

Here is our annual reminder on how to dress when coming to the barn for lessons!! Layers are your friend and don’t forget GLOVES! We recommend gloves with grippers on the palm side so the reins do not slide through your hands.
