Seven Pines Riding

12/17/2025

The arena might be a skating rink, but that doesn't mean we can't work ponies! Nik is working hard on his line driving skills and Annie went on her first woods adventure! Both youngsters were phenomenal and tackled the new experience like old pros. Mallory Wood and Gwyneth Wood are gonna have some really cool mounts by the time we're done!

I've been watching the NFR this year with the rest of the world and noticing some trends that make me think ol' Fathead and I might need to make a bid for 2026 😂
What have we got going for us?
-Food names: With Cornbread and Pancakes cleaning house, Pumpkin will fit right in at the table
-Palomino: There's a whole mess of palomino and buckskins running this year so obviously you gotta ride a yellow horse to go for gold under the Vegas lights
-affinity for gas station pastries: we all know Adios runs on blueberry poptarts, but Pumpkin will do about anything for an apple turnover
-Ability to sleep ANYWHERE: Another Adios similarity, Pumpkin has been known to doze adjacent to a parade and literally in the middle of a beginner lesson with children riding around her. (In her defense, the arena was heated and the footing was nice) She'll get her beauty rest under the bright Vegas lights no problem.
-Pedigree: Featuring prominent names like Dash Ta The Feedbucket, Streakin Six Horse Hitch, Corona In The Cooler, Tres Leches, Sunkist, and Epic Feeder in her lineage, Pumpkin is a sure winner (winner chicken dinner)
-Earnings: Amassing a LTE of $83 in only 2 rodeos, Pumpkin's got Jessica standing 927,783rd in earnings. Guess you can say things are getting pretty serious. Watch out Hailey Kinsel, we're coming for you 👀 *She was in the grand entry as the fair queen's mount. Money earned in cattle sorting and Equitation jackpots
-Has in fact seen a barrel before and knows where she's going
-Small pen aficionado: we got little legs, the less space for the big horses to sprint, the better!

Catch us in Vegas next December 🐎💨🛢

EHV Update!

None of our horses have traveled recently or have any upcoming events, so I'm not concerned for our herd with this particular outbreak at this point in time. However, please be mindful of biosecurity when coming to the barn and wear clean clothes that haven't possibly been exposed to other horses. Treat this virus like horse Covid- if your boots went to tractor supply, hit them with some lysol before coming up to the barn.

I do still intend to go to the black Friday sale, but we weren't buying horses in the first place and I will be sure to change and shower before interacting with our horses again as per usual when going to an environment like that.

EHV is scary and dangerous but just like any other communicable disease and good biosecurity practices help keep everyone safe. Thanks for your cooperation in keeping our herd healthy!

Busy day! Megan Kolaczyk and Taylor squeezed in a morning lesson in the fresh snow, so we made snowmen!
We moved the Problem Solving Clinic up a couple hours to miss the weather we have heading our way tonight, and everyone had a great time and learned a lot, including Phin who apparently has big horse training dreams 😂
Big thanks to Alexis A Waterson for teaching today! 😊
