Moving time is soon approaching. As we bid farewell to the friends and clients we’ve made over the years, I wanted to leave you all with a look back at the last 10 years.

I truly appreciate that so many of our dreams came true on this farm.

We built our dream business, got married, started raising our girls here, and we bought the farm from my dad.

Some of the equine highlights included bringing my own horse to the advanced level of eventing, saving up enough money to begin importing horses on my own, showing in 1.30m jumpers, and rescuing and rehoming more wonderful horses than I can count.

Thank you to everyone who made it possible. One day, I’ll look back on these memories with my girls, and they will always bring a smile to my face!

Pulling out of the driveway one last time though is going to be tough 🥹

Enjoy the roll of all the good times!!!

Our 10th and final NYE at Appleton Equestrian ♥️ Somehow, I blinked, and a decade galloped by. Running this business was my greatest achievement. We started with a barn full of empty stalls and grew to a six-figure lesson business—something I didn’t even think was possible.

Flash forward to 2022/23 I had my two beautiful girls, and my priorities changed. A chapter closes here, but we are so excited to move back to South Carolina and raise our kids alongside their cousins, uncles, and too many grandparents to mention!

Thank you to everyone who made this business the success that it was. We couldn’t have done it without the immense support of our longtime boarders, students, annual campers, horse shows, friends, and family.

We have made friendships to last a lifetime. And horses to leave hoofbeats in our hearts.

So here’s to the next 10 years and onto 2025 for us all.

Cheers and much love, Juli and Ian
