Need to tighten up your inside turns? Want to go back to basics with a fresh set of eyes? I have limited availability for trailer-in lessons at my farm in Leesburg.

We’ve got a beautiful indoor and full outdoor jump arena, complete with a full course, flower boxes, and plenty of bright fillers to keep things interesting. Whether you’re a jumper rider looking for polish or an eventer prepping for your next show, we’re happy to have you.

Crowd Control
2020 17h Black Friesian Gelding

Crowd Control, aka Samson, is one of the kindest and most composed five-year-olds I've ever ridden. He has three lovely gates, a smart and willing brain, along with a very teachable and lovely personality. Samson shows all the capability to be produced for upper-level Dressage!

Currently, he is competing at the training level and has had a few outings, becoming familiar with the show scene. He behaves the same at new places as he does at home. Samson is still getting stronger as a big five-year-old, but he becomes better and better every week! I personally would love to keep producing this horse myself to see where he could go, but sadly, he is a sale horse, and I can't keep them all!

Samson will continue with Dressage training and competitions until he finds his next person. I really can't say enough about him. Samson is the full package!

What a week at Princeton Show Jumping June/July II!

I had the chance to pilot four fantastic horses, and each one showed up and delivered. Excel Star Athenry, owned by Brittini Poland, jumped beautifully all week, finishing 4th in the $500 1.15m Jumper and 6th in the $600 1.20m Jumper. Tom Anderson’s Homefortheweekend won his 1.0m Jumper II class and added more ribbons in both the 1.0m Trainer and 1.05m Training Jumpers. Diamond King, owned by Sara Calverley, was all class—winning both the Take 2 Thoroughbred 1.10m Jumper and the 0.90m Jumper II, and also placing in the 1.0m and 0.90m Training Jumper divisions. Silver Lining, owned by Marie Baranoski, had a standout show as well, finishing 2nd twice in the PYJ 4-Year-Old 0.90m Jumpers and adding great rounds in the 0.70m and 0.90m classes. Sale horse Macaroni earned 3rd in both the 0.70m Jumper II and the PYJ 4-Year-Old 0.90m—he just keeps getting better. Oh! And Macaroni ALSO played leadline pony, and was hoof perfect for his debut with a junior on board.

Adrianne Golly had a banner weekend with her string. Olympia B was champion in the PEL 0.90m Jr/Am Jumpers, won the $500 M&S/PEL/NJHSA/NJPHA 0.90m Classic, and took the blue in the 1.0m Jumper II. Castleberrys Rolex was 2nd in the Classic and won the PEL 0.80m Jumper II. Cosmotron ZF picked up two 3rd place finishes in the Outreach PEL Leap Frog Jumper 0.60m.

And a special congratulations to Ashani Hamilton, who earned Reserve Champion in the PEL 0.90m Jr/Am Jumpers aboard the one and only Clip Clop! This pair continues to grow together, and it’s been so rewarding to watch Ashani step confidently into the show ring and deliver under pressure.

A huge congratulations to all of my students who competed, and a heartfelt thank you to the owners who trust me with their horses. As always, big appreciation to my grooms for keeping the barn running smoothly and making sure I get to the ring on time. Thank you to Princeton Show Jumping for hosting such a top-notch show—we had a great time and can’t wait to be back!

Macaroni
2021 15.2h Paint Gelding

**Macaroni can be seen at Princeton Show Jumping June I**

Macaroni is the kind of young horse everyone hopes to find—honest, straightforward, and genuinely fun to have in the barn. He was thoughtfully started by a horsemanship trainer and has maintained his easy-going, level-headed attitude through every step of his development.

Since his initial outings, Macaroni has continued to gain experience in the jumper ring, recently stepping up to the .95m with ease. He’s been to several recognized venues and remains as rideable and confident as ever—brave to the fences, unbothered by atmosphere or fill, and comfortable in new environments. Macaroni trailers like a pro, stands ringside quietly, and has even been known to help move standards while waiting his turn in the schooling ring. He hacks out happily and has been cross-country schooling once.

We see this guy thriving in a program that wants a safe, competitive, and personable partner, whether for the jumper ring, eventing, or just plain fun. Suitable for a junior, small adult, or professional looking to produce something special.

Macaroni is going to make someone a very special partner. It’s not every day you find a four-year-old who can confidently step up a division at a major venue like Loudoun Benefit, march around the ring like he’s been doing it for years (despite having fewer than ten shows under his belt), and then happily hang out in the schooling ring playing jump crew after his rounds. He’s the type that truly wants to be your buddy — level-headed, willing, and fun to have in the barn. Whoever gets the ride on this one is going to be very lucky.

In June 2022, I received news no big sister ever wants to hear.

Freddy, you are deeply missed.

My brother loved his animals with all his heart, and this year, I’m honoring his life by supporting a cause he would’ve stood behind: Barn Cat Buddies —a Virginia nonprofit working to save and relocate feral and homeless cats to safe homes like barns, orchards, and greenhouses.

If you’re able, consider donating. If not, take a quiet moment for yourself. Go for a walk. Pet a cat. Breathe.

Solosi Equestrian had a fantastic outing at the Upperville Jump4Fun Schooling Show this weekend!

Sale horse Macaroni continued to impress in the 0.70m/0.75m Jumpers—this little horse just keeps getting better. Brave, consistent, and easy to ride, he’s turning into a true competitor and will be an exciting partner for the right rider.

Tomano TF stepped up in the 0.90m/0.95m with all the heart and try I could ask for. I’m so proud of how this young horse is developing—he’s truly game for anything I put in front of him.

I also had the ride on Sara Calverley’s Diamond King, who jumped beautifully to win the 0.90m/0.95m Jumpers, and Tom Aronson’s Homefortheweekend, who brought home top honors in the 1.0m/1.05m. A big thank you to these owners for the opportunity to compete such lovely horses!

Looking forward to the next one!

True Grit “Crisp”
2009 16.2h Selle Francis Bay Mare
By Salute The Truth out of Orio D’Orange

This lovely mare has everything it takes to make someone very happy in the dressage or jumper ring! Crisp is handy on course , forward-thinking yet rideable, and always eager to please. She’s a blast to ride, with great adjustability, natural work ethic, and a solid foundation in dressage that makes her flatwork easy and enjoyable. While Crisp is all business in the arena we would not identify her as a packer, she is a forward and thoughtful ride, who needs a rider who will stay with her on course.

Crisp has successfully competed up to Training level in Eventing and the 1.0m Jumpers. Crisp has been with me for nine years, and she is a well-seasoned competitor who knows her job and is ready to continue her career with her next partner. She’s a good girl but needs a confident rider out on xc if eventing is the track you decide, and is most comfortable competing Beginner Novice. She is currently dipping her toe in the dressage world and is already successfully moving up the levels. Currently competing at 2nd level and soon to be ready for 3rd level.

Beyond the show ring, Crisp is also a great hacking partner, happy to go out alone or in a group. She stands well for the farrier, loads easily, and is microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Crisp wears four shoes and has simple, easy maintenance. Turnout flexible—has lived in a mixed mare/gelding field and does well alone or with others.

We had a busy weekend at Solosi Equestrian!

Huge congratulations to Ashani Hamilton and the king himself, Clip Clop, on their 2nd place finish in the Novice Rider division at Hunt Club Farms Horse Trials! It’s always rewarding to see the time, effort, and dedication pay off—well done, Ashani!

On Sunday, we headed to Morven Park for the Summer Show I with a few horses in tow. Sale horse Macaroni was an absolute star in just his third jumper outing, handling the atmosphere like a seasoned pro. Tomano TF also made the trip and took another confident step forward in his development—he was a total dream to ride.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

Macaroni
2020 15.2h Paint Gelding

This special pony has all the makings of a fantastic partner for a junior or small adult looking for their next fun, reliable mount. Macaroni is young and green, but with the brain and attitude of an old pro. He was started by a horsemanship trainer and has a strong foundation that shows in his confidence, work ethic, and easygoing nature.

Brave to the fences and comfortable in new environments, Macaroni has been lightly competed at schooling jumper shows and has cross country schooled multiple times. He trailers quietly, stands well, and settles in like he's been everywhere before. Under saddle, he’s straightforward, honest, and uncomplicated—currently schooling small courses with ease.

Macaroni is equally happy hacking out or schooling in the ring, and he takes each new experience in stride. We could easily see him excelling in the eventing or jumper world with a rider who will appreciate his kind, willing nature.
