Happy thanksgiving from all of us as SIU!

Here’s the inspiration for one of the herds favorite holiday crafts. Guess what the ratio of hands to feet to p***s turkeys is amongst our herd of 21 geldings 🤣😬🤷‍♀️

Days at the barn aren’t always about HORSES. Sometimes, they’re about Ulta, Star-B’s and Panera🥰

Rides were for sure had, Eddie made snow angels in the arena and we ended with a sweet keepsake thanks to Ovitt🥰🥰

One of my very favorite things about SIU is that everyone is willing to share their horses. There isn’t a single horse on the farm, owned/boarded that’s not available to be learned from. This is so incredible. Never have I ever boarded anywhere, ever, that owners/riders so willingly share their horses with others. Today was one of those days when horses were pulled in for lessons missing shoes. “No worries! Go grab someone else!” And off they go to pick someone else. No guilt, no barter, not even an ask needed because the answer is always “yes, of course!”
Both of these girl’s ponies came in a shoe short for their lesson with guest trainer Burnham (FEI level rider, internationally trained, former barn manager/working student for our Catie & Ellen) and both picked other horses and worked Pas de duex!! I’m so, so grateful to our owners and the bananas talented trainers my riders get to experience❤️❤️❤️❤️

My sweetheart man, FCF CelestiAul Wizard, has shown himself to love his life here at SIU. I’m so in love with him and so grateful to be able to share him with my riders!

Facebook and I are fighting about loading videos, but these four ROCK STARS hopped over their first triple bar oxers today like PROS! I could have easily put the rails UP!

I just love my job ❤️❤️❤️

It’s not just about circles or straight lines or drilling. Dressage is about working your pony’s brain, working your harmony, your horsemanship, your serenity! Our Shelby Ballantine brought her guaracha pole and “bull”- aka the ring- and some working eq obstacles for us and the entire herd enjoyed this experience!! There’s endless ways to enjoy your time in the saddle🥰🥰🥰
