We've got pony fever! Join us welcoming another new pony to the herd! Lionheart is here available for on site lease and looking for a kid to call his own. This pony has done it all and won everything up and down the east coast. He's ready to earn some more champion ribbons in the crossrails or short stirrup!

LANDSAFE at DEC — June 19-21

Let’s be honest: if you ride horses, you will fall off. Olympic riders fall off. Pony riders fall off. Trainers fall off. It’s part of the sport.

But there IS a safer way to fall!

Our upcoming LandSafe Equestrian Clinic is designed to help riders better understand how their body reacts in emergency situations and teach practical skills that can help reduce the risk of serious injury. Riders work through a variety of exercises and scenarios focused on:
• safer falling techniques
• body awareness and reaction time
• confidence building
• balance and coordination
• learning how to protect yourself when things go wrong

This program is valuable for riders of all levels, from walk/trot riders to serious competitors. Confidence comes not from pretending falls never happen, but from knowing you are better prepared when they do.

We have just 5 spots remaining in our Junior Clinic and 8 spots remaining in our Adult Clinic and spots are continuing to sell quickly. If you’ve been considering participating, now is the time to register.

Adult Clinic (ages 12-60): $375 (Saturday AND Sunday morning 8-12 or afternoon 1-5)
Junior Clinic (ages 6-11): $190 (Friday and Saturday evening 5-7)
Audit: $25 for 1 day, $40 for both days, 60+ audits for free!

Falling off happens. Learning how to do it safely could make all the difference.

Emily C. and DEC's Party Girl had great success in the Short Stirrup with 3 second place finishes, 4 third place finishes, a fourth, and 2 fifths. Definitely one of their best showings to date and the pair has a lot to be proud of this weekend.
Anna G. showed her own Royalty Ready to Champion honors on Saturday in the Children's Ponies with consistent ribbons in the eq as well. The pair was also 7th in the Mini Derby.
Julia K. showed DEC's Silver Coated to many good ribbons in the Long Stirrup division including a blue ribbon ride in the Eq over fences and a 4th place finish in the Mini Derby.
Soren C. and Stella Bianca had another fun weekend in the .70 Jumpers earning reserve on Saturday and two firsts on Saturday and two seconds and a third on Sunday. The pair also received blue ribbons in both of their blue ribbon warm up classes.

Are you still looking for camps for kiddos this summer? We have limited spaces available!

IEA Bootcamp -- July 20th-24th -- this challenging camp is for riders participating in IEA this upcoming season. There will be tons of pony swaps, equitation exercises, physical fitness activities, and education on all things important about IEA from rules to show attire and proper boot cleaning technique! We offer a morning jumping session and an afternoon flat session, open to DEC riders and riders from outside barns as well!

Junior Jumpers -- August 3rd- 7th -- We literally have just one spot left in this session, and we'd love to have you join us! Junior Jumpers is for riders who can confidently walk, trot, and canter and know their leads and diagonals. Riders are working on jumping and putting together small courses and gymnastic exercises. Great for those just starting to jump through showing in the short/long stirrup. All ages welcome!

Tiny Trotters -- week of August 3rd AND August 10th -- This session is for those who are new to horses and riding. We'll learn about basic horse care, grooming, tacking, and riding. Walking, trotting, and cantering will be the focus, working on diagonals, leads, steering and crossing poles (and small jumps for those who learn quickly and are up for a challenge!).

Ride smarter. Fall safer. Build confidence.


We’re excited to host a LandSafe Equestrian Clinic June 19th-21st. This is an invaluable opportunity for riders ages 6-11 and 12-60. LandSafe is a training program designed to teach equestrians how to minimize the impact in a fall to reduce the risk of serious or catastrophic injury. The curriculum covers body positioning, body awareness, response techniques, rolling and impact reduction to protect the head, neck and body.


Why LandSafe?

Improve body awareness and balance

Learn safer falling techniques

Build confidence in and out of the saddle

Reduce risk of injury

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our incredible barn moms!

Thank you to the moms who help make all of our dreams come true. The ones who wake up before sunrise to get kids to the ring on time, fetch forgotten crops and water bottles, hold horses at the trailer, and somehow still manage to take a million photos and videos along the way.

Thank you for cheering through the victories, wiping tears when things don’t go to plan, supporting big dreams, and loving your kids through every up and down this sport brings.

We quite literally could not do it without you, and we are so grateful for everything you do for your riders, your horses, and our barn family.

Happy Mother’s Day!
