🏆🐴 What a way to close out our 2026 show season! Thank you to this month’s showcase riders: Hayden, Ridge, Grace, Aurora, Audrey, Evey, Hunter, Amaiyah, Ashlyn, & Brittany.
We want to extend a HUGE thank you to Laurel Saddle Friends and the amazing volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make these events possible. These events don’t happen without people who generously give their time, energy, and talents to support our local equestrian community. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are so happy to support the wonderful opportunities you create for riders of all ages and stages!
To us, these ribbons represent something much bigger than a placing. They’re evidence that our approach WORKS. That strong fundamentals matter. That patience, persistence, confidence, and quality instruction pay off. And that when we focus on developing capable, knowledgeable, and empowered horsemen and horsewomen, the results speak for themselves! 🥇🥈
And perhaps the most important thing we want people to know is that you can’t always see someone’s challenges from the saddle. At 3E’s, we proudly provide inclusive riding instruction for individuals of ALL ages and abilities, including those with disabilities, neurodivergence, and unique learning needs. The rider you see confidently navigating a pattern, controlling a thousand-pound animal, or proudly accepting a ribbon may also be someone who faces challenges that aren’t immediately visible.
We don’t believe in lowering expectations. We believe in providing the individualized instruction, accommodations, encouragement, and opportunities that allow EVERY rider to work toward their fullest potential. Our students aren’t defined by their challenges, and their accomplishments deserve to be celebrated for exactly what they are: EARNED.
To our riders and barn families, thank you for believing in our mission, trusting the process, and continuing to Saddle Up Anyway! We are so incredibly proud of the progress you’ve made, the confidence you’ve built, and the horsemen and horsewomen you’re becoming.
And to Laurel Saddle Friends, thank you again for giving our riders such a welcoming place to showcase their skills, make memories, and celebrate their accomplishments. We are grateful for everything your volunteers do for our local horse community.
That’s a wrap on our 2026 show season! We’ll keep doing what we do best: teaching, learning, growing, and empowering riders, one lesson at a time.
We can’t wait to be back in the show ring next spring! 🐴🏆
