💙 Happy International Day of Friendship 💙

Some friendships are built at lunch tables or school dances…
Ours are built in barn aisles, at 5 a.m. show call, and over shared show nerves and horse cookies. 🐴✨

Here, teammates become ride-or-dies.
We cheer for each other louder than we cheer for ourselves.
We learn together. We grow together. We win — and sometimes lose — together.

Whether it’s your first year showing or your final season, this team is where you find your people — the ones who understand why the smell of leather feels like home, and why we all cry a little when someone draws the saint of the draw pen. 😅

Through our youth equestrian teams, riders gain more than just experience in the ring… they gain lifelong friendships, unshakable confidence, and a team that feels like family.

🌟 Now is the time to join. Our new season is starting — and we’re ready to welcome you in. 🌟

🌟 Happy Parent Appreciation Day 🌟

To the parents who wake up before the sun to haul horses, braid hair, and pack coolers…

To the ones who learn how to back trailers, hold nervous ponies, and cheer from the rail (even if they have no clue what the judge is looking for)…

To those who wipe boots, dry tears, celebrate ribbons, and somehow survive the rollercoaster of horse show weekends…

You are the silent heroes of this sport.

Whether you're covered in arena dust, drenched from a surprise downpour, or hoarse from yelling "HEELS DOWN!"—your love, support, and sacrifice make all of this possible.

So today, we raise our helmets and cowboy hats to YOU—the ultimate groom, chauffeur, coach, cheerleader, and sometimes therapist.

Thank you for every early morning, every late night, and every moment in between. Our kids may ride the horses, but you’re the ones truly carrying this journey. 🐴❤️

Let’s talk IEA and YEDA — where the horses are awesome, the teammates are loud (in the best way), and the life lessons come at a full gallop.

💥 No horse of your own? No problem.

🎯 Each rider draws a horse at the show — it’s like the equestrian version of a mystery box challenge.

🙌 It’s all about adaptability, good horsemanship, and cheering each other on like it’s the championship round… even if it’s 7:30 a.m. and someone just dropped a hairnet in the dirt.

We ride Hunt Seat AND Western.
We train hard. We celebrate harder.
And yes — we’ve brought home national titles. (Let’s be honest, the ribbons make great 🎄Christmas tree🎄 decorations.)

Our team is full of riders who are brave, driven, a little horse-obsessed, and ready to grow. If that sounds like your kid — or maybe your whole family — we’ve got a spot for you.

We’ll save you a seat at the next team dinner.

Have a student rider who dreams of competing, growing, and being part of a team — without needing to own a horse?

Choose YEDA and IEA — two nationally recognized youth equestrian associations that open the arena to middle and high school riders across the country.

✨ YEDA (Youth Equestrian Development Association) and IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) allow youth riders to:
✔️ Compete in both Hunt Seat and Western disciplines
✔️ Gain experience through draw-based riding — learning to adapt and grow
✔️ Be part of a supportive, team-focused show environment
✔️ Earn points toward Regionals, Zone Finals, and Nationals
✔️ Build horsemanship, confidence, sportsmanship, and lifelong friendships

Whether you’re brand new to showing or chasing national titles — there’s a place for you on our team. We’re an education-first program with a track record of national success, and we’d love to help you or your rider take the next step.

🌟 No horse required. Just heart, hustle, and a willingness to learn.

📩 Ready to join the ride? Send us a message and let’s talk about how you can become part of something great.

So your kid loves horses.
You thought it was a phase.
Now it’s boots in your entryway, hay in your laundry, and a new vocabulary of words like “draw system,” “horsemanship,” and “zone finals.”
Welcome to the club. We’re in deep too. 🫣🐎

But here’s the thing — it’s worth it.

Through IEA and YEDA, we’ve seen shy kids turn into confident riders.
We've watched nervous first-timers head into the ring and come out grinning.
We’ve cheered for wins, learned from losses, and bonded over early mornings, last-minute tack checks, and the mystery of how horse hair ends up in your car’s cupholder.

Our team is a mix of Western and Hunt Seat riders, total beginners and seasoned show kids — and we all ride for something bigger than ourselves.

🏆 Yes, we win big.
📚 But we always learn bigger.
🐴 And no — you don’t need to own a horse (or a trailer, or a ranch, or an IV drip of coffee — though that last one helps).

We’re enrolling now. Want to come see what it’s all about?

📩 Message us to join the chaos — uh, we mean team. 😉
You bring the rider. We’ll bring the horses, the coaching, and a whole lot of snacks.
