✨ Their Stories Are Live ✨
Our 2025 Scholarship Riders have completed their journeys—and now you can read about their experience in their own words.

Over eight weeks, they showed up with dedication, resilience, and heart. They grew as riders and horsewomen, and they left a lasting mark on us and our program.

📖 Each rider wrote a short reflection about what the scholarship meant to them—and we invite you to read their words, straight from the barn aisle and the saddle.

We’re so proud of these young women, their growth is exactly why we created this program!

A Spot Just Opened: Is Your Horse Ready to Rise to the Next Level?

✨ Lone Star Farm is known for creating calm, capable, well-rounded horses—and one rare training spot has just opened up.✨️

Whether you ride English or western, if you’ve been feeling like your horse has more potential than you’re unlocking… this is your invitation.

I specialize in helping horses become more balanced, focused, and confident—while teaching owners how to keep that progress going long after they leave.

This is a short-term opportunity (1–2 months) for riders who are serious about their horse’s growth. Preference given to horses whose owners want to be part of the process and learn alongside their horse. Please note, this is not a c**t starting or extreme problem horse opening.

Want to know if it’s a good fit? Message me or visit Www.lonestarfarmwi.com.

We all have “off” rides — but that doesn’t mean the ride is lost.

🚨 It’s Here! 🚨
3 Things Your Trainer Wishes You’d Do Before Every Lesson
💬 (Even if we don’t always say it out loud!)

1. Show up early.
Not race-into-the-barn-as-I’m-setting-jumps early. Actually early. Enough time to groom, tack up without stress, and maybe even breathe for a minute before swinging a leg over.

2. Know what you worked on last time.
If every lesson feels like starting from scratch… it’s probably because you are. Progress takes focus and follow-through.

3. Come with questions.
This isn’t school — you don’t get in trouble for being curious. Great riders ask about what they don’t understand, what went wrong, or what they felt.

🎉 And guess what — I just launched something to help with all of this!!
It’s a printable Riding Lesson Progress Tracker, designed to help you show up more prepared, more focused, and more in control of your own progress.
It’s what I use with my own students — and it’s free.

✅ Track your lessons
✅ Set real riding goals
✅ Know what to practice on your own
✅ Build on your progress instead of losing it every week

Training Truth: Why Progress Stalls

Ever feel like your horse was improving… until suddenly they weren’t?

Progress rarely disappears overnight.
It stalls when:

🎒 The basics get skipped.

🚧 You’re asking for more without laying the groundwork.

🤯 The horse is confused, not disobedient.

👟 Or they’re just not fit enough yet to do the job you're asking.

It’s rarely about talent.
It’s always about clarity, consistency, and conditioning.

And sometimes?
It’s not your horse that’s stalled — it’s your program that needs a reset.

💡 As a trainer, I don’t just teach horses what to do. I teach riders how to recognize the difference between a horse saying “I won’t” and a horse saying “I can’t," and tracking your rides is the way to catch things before they become long term issues.

I've always tried to help as many people as possible, and give back as much as I can, and that’s why I've created a Riding Lesson Progress Tracker — to help you start seeing the patterns, spotting the gaps, and keeping your progress moving forward.

📥 It’s printable, practical, and I'm going to give it away to anyone who wants it, totally free — Im launching it on SUNDAY, so give our page a follow so you dont miss out, this is a resource that'll change your training routine for the better!

Some exciting news! 🥳👇

If you're in the market for a saddle, I'd be happy to chat and share my experiences with fittings, favorite features and models, and I even have a few models that I love and use that you're welcome to come sit in! There are so many reasons why Stubben would be a wonderful choice for your next saddle, but the top of the list is their horse first designs.

Excited for .equestrian to be the newest ambassador for !

“I’m proud to join Stübben as a Trainer Ambassador. As someone who believes that every detail of a horse’s care should support their well-being and performance, Stübben’s values resonate deeply with me. Their saddles are designed with the horse in mind—prioritizing proper fit, comfort, and long-term health, not just rider convenience.

From their wellness-focused approach to saddle fitting to their dedication to quality craftsmanship, Stübben consistently honors the horse as a high-performance athlete. I’m excited to represent a company that shares my belief in putting the horse first.”

Thank you to the Sheboygan County 4h Horse and Pony Project for having LSF Owner and Trainer .equestrian out to teach your Open Arena Thursday night!

The topic was "An Introduction to Dressage."
Rider balance and position was the first thing reviewed, followed by a quick exercise showing the riders how to ask their horses to bend and soften their bodies, followed by exercises utilizing both to find rhythm. Every rider who participated did a great job, and there were a few really great questions addressed!

Tanya told the participants, "Dressage isn't just top hats and fancy white pants... at its core, Dressage is simply the art of training your horse in a way that helps them stay sound and happy for years to come, no matter what style riding you choose to do together!"

Interested in a clinic for your own group? We would be happy to host you at our farm or travel to teach your group at your facility! Send us a message, and let's chat!
