Holiday stall cards finally got done on this rainy day 🎨. Which one is your favorite?

11/26/2022

Looking for Holiday gifts for the horse person in your life? They won’t be mad at you if they find a beautiful handmade, custom bonnet (or 2 or 3 or a gift card for 2 or 3 😈) in their stocking this Christmas 🎄. We love ours from (no, we’re not sponsored by them, we just think they make really quality bonnets and Allie is so easy to work with). She can even digitize your logo and add it to your bonnets! Thanks Allie for the beautiful new noise canceling bonnets!!

☁️Thursday Thoughts ☁️
🎵Harmony🎵
If you’re not in harmony with you horse during your ride, stop for a second and ask yourself why. And when you start back up, try to become in harmony with your horse before you try to fix any issues you’re having in your ride. And when you do start to address those issues, try to do it without losing the harmony, or in other words, try to solve training issues without being in opposition of your horse.

11/10/2022

Thursday Thoughts:
~ Acceptance ~ when we think about acceptance of the bit, or acceptance of the contact, we should think of it as something that happens in the body and mind of a horse, and what you feel in the mouth is a by-product of that acceptance or non acceptance in the body and mind. When the connection feels bad (and we know we’re not the reason why - spoiler alert, we usually are…) work to create a change in the body and the mind of the horse before you try to create a change in the mouth (hint: this usually is NOT something you do primarily with your hands) 🫶🏼 (pictured is one of our young horses - and one of Cecily’s favorites - Lismakeera Fergus, happily learning the ropes of dressage)

Sprung this guy from Canadian hospital prison today. 💗 He’s feeling pretty good 💪🏼

08/21/2022

Today was a pretty craprastic day… thankfully everyone seems mostly down but not out. I have to go back almost a decade to remember the last time Matt fell off or fell down in competition (the broken leg at plantation doesn’t count because he stayed on the horse and the horse didn’t fall down, he was just stuck ON the horse while be was stuck against a frangible…). So his track record is pretty damn good, but it doesn’t take away the worry and fear of a day gone wrong. Poor Alexa and Shammy had a tumble so close to home and gave us all a fright, but are both ok if a little sore. And then Matt and Biggie had a tumble in the 4 star. He’s staying the night in a very crowded hospital for a lacerated liver and some banged up kidneys (the broken nose is the least of his worries). Thank god he had Kristin Schlachter’s air vest on board after his malfunctioned in schooling a few weeks ago, or this could have been much worse. ‘Tis but a wee liver scratch, and we hope to head home tomorrow. I guess karma’s a bitch in the best way, because after helping our good friend and her horses get off the side of the road on the way up to Bromont, she orchestrated getting the horses taken care of while I ran from ambulance to ambulance to check on my riders. , , Shannon Baker, all pitched in like the damn bosses that they are and took care of the ponies while I tried to take care of the humans. Thankful for the really good and kind people that are in the horse world and make you feel humble and appreciative and like there’s hope in this world on a sh*tty day. Thanks for being awesome guys, I hope that good karma is coming for you without a crappy chaser!!! 💗. Now me and basil are going to enjoy this overpriced hotel wine and take a load off before tomorrow’s recheck CT. Angry poison oak and an allergic face/eye swelling ain’t nothing after today! Pray for mended livers and a short-lived Canadian hospital stay! 💗 🙏🏼

Excel Star Sugar Daddy

2016 16.3 Irish Sport Horse Gelding by Sligo Candy Boy out of Hermes Touch (Hermes de Reve)

“Suge” is a super sweet boy with experience through Novice level Eventing with dressage scores in the mid 20’s (recently 2nd at Flora Lea Novice finishing on his dressage score of 27.8). With tons of scope to his gaits and easy and forgiving to the jumps, he should happily work up the levels. He’s currently schooling 3’6”-3’9” at home which doesn’t touch his scope. He’s been brought along by an amateur/young rider and has been completely genuine along the way. Even though he’s still green, he’s the kind of horse you can learn with and make a mistake on and he won’t hold it against you. His owner has just graduated college and off to the real world and is very, very regrettably selling as she just adores him. She would be open to a paid lease if he stayed in barn as she is extremely sad to say goodbye to this boy.

Priced mid five figures

Hard to pick just one photo 😍

Life is tragic when it’s raining and you have to go to the bathroom #crymeariver #singalongwithpoppy #poorpoppy #itshardtobearidgeback

Biggie and Bon Bon enjoying some Bro time, Flaxen and Nut being horrified and thinking they should get a room 😂 #brosbeforehoes

Well it was a fitting end to a weird season that saw me get eliminated on flaxen in many new and different and completely dumb ways… he was feeling like a million bucks all weekend and then, after a night of rain and a morning of drizzle, slipped on take off at the first water and then slipped again and put down on take off in to the second water a few jumps later. I called it a day which I’ve never even had to consider doing on Flaxen. But this is the sport, right? So much love for this horse, he walked off the course feeling quite proud of himself and enjoyed every minute til he said no thanks. Will spend the off season regrouping and making sure my good buddy wants to keep doing this.

Super Socks was feeling frisky this morning to jump an awesome double clear round to maintain the lead in the three star 🤩

This time I remembered my test!!!

We did a polo rolling competition featuring our favorite polo wraps from @premierequineengland ! 🤪 (and we had to add Mario Kart music of course) 🏎 The CEO vs Groom vs Working Student We love absolutely everything from PEI and their polo wraps are no exception! We use these wraps daily and the quality is next level. Our staff and clients all prefer Premier Equine’s polos (and boots 😉) to any other brand #PremierEquineInternational #321Start #ItsaMeMario

Gale is the most lovely 7 year old Irish Sport horse that we imported from Ireland as a 3 year old a few years ago. He has the kindest soul and is just wonderful to have in the barn. We bought him as an upper level prospect for Matt but he’s developed kissing spine which will keep him from being an upper level horse. He responds well to back injections. When his back is bothering him he has a pretty decent bronc in him. It doesn’t make sense for us to keep him for Matt anymore, and he is a super useful horse that should be very fun at the lower levels of dressage, jumping or fox hunting, so we would like to find someone that can manage his little things and love him as much as we do. Because of this his price is quite low, and he would be sold with an agreement that his next owners would have to be approved by us and we would have right of first refusal as we don’t want to see him passed around. Contact us for more info 707-480-4501. He’s located in Kennett Square.

🥰 We couldn't be more excited and thrilled for Beall Spring Farm LLC bred Frame Shamrock 🍀 who has found his new person in Alexa Gartenberg. It certainly wasn't our plan for Shammy to leave us, but when the perfect home comes along, it's hard to turn down. This amazing horse was family, but we are so looking forward to watching he and Alexa grow and flourish together. We will be the proud uncle for sure!

Here's what Alexa said when we asked what her plan is for the summer with him: "He's such a special horse, I'm already in love with him! We've just been getting to know each other, I took him cross-country schooling for the first time last week and he was so game and totally perfect. Our first show together will be Loch Moy in a few weeks to get to know each other and hopefully we'll be able to do a 2*-L by the end of the year 🙂"

We can't help but think the future is ☀️ for this lovely pair! Thank you East West Training Stables for helping bring everyone together. And don’t forget Shamrock’s full brother, Beall Spring Seahawk is coming up following in his footsteps and is also available! Find him on our pages or on our YouTube Playlist he’s every bit the gentleman his big brother is! 😎
