🏆 The ribbon is only part of the story. 💙💛

Last night at the DEC Horse Show Awards Dinner, we celebrated a season’s worth of accomplishments. Behind every award were early mornings at the barn, friends cheering from the rail, and rides where something finally clicked.

Congratulations to all our year-end award recipients, and thank you to the riders, families, volunteers, and sponsors who made this season possible. A special thank-you to our show coordinator, Joan Wedley Greenberg, for all her hard work and dedication behind the scenes.

📸 What’s one moment with your horse this season that made you proud? It could be a quiet breakthrough at home or a milestone like the one pictured here: Michaela Schock and her horse Crosby celebrating their 2026 DEC Horse Show Series High Point Standardbred Championship. Congratulations, Michaela and all our other incredible horses and riders that made this season so special! 🐴

Share a photo or tell us your story in the comments. We’d love to celebrate it with you!

🐴 Taco here! People keep asking how I stay so busy. Allow me to share my very demanding schedule…

👀 Supervise the humans.
🌾 Snack like it’s my full-time job.
🔁 Repeat until someone brings more snacks.

Somewhere in there, I also squeeze in looking handsome and checking every pocket for treats. It’s exhausting being this essential to barn operations. 🥕😂

👇 What’s your horse’s most important daily duty? Professional hay inspector? Gate greeter? Tack-room supervisor?

Tell me in the comments—I’m always looking for qualified colleagues!
