✨ What a wonderful day in Washington, D.C.! ✨

Our MET families from New York joined us for a special trip to the nation’s capital — touring the White House, exploring historic landmarks, and of course, enjoying rides with our horses right in the heart of Rock Creek Park 🐴🌳.

This experience was more than just a trip — it was a celebration of 15 years of success for Metropolitan Equestrian and the incredible opportunities still ahead as we continue to grow nationwide. 💙❤️🤍

Here’s to the memories we’ve created together and the future we’re building for riders across the country! 🇺🇸🐎

🇺🇸🐎 Big Day Ahead for MET Riders!

Tomorrow, Beatrix Sorensen and Genevieve Rohner will take the stage at the USEF Para Symposium & Classification riding in front of the U.S. Paralympic Equestrian Team Chef d’Équipe Michel Assouline at the United States Equestrian Team Headquarters.

We are so proud of their dedication, preparation, and passion as they represent the spirit of para-dressage at the highest level. Let’s cheer them on as they ride for excellence, opportunity, and the future of Team USA! 🇺🇸✨🐴

🌿🐴 THANK YOU, The Home Depot Foundation! 🧡🏡

We are deeply grateful to The Home Depot Foundation for their incredible support of Metropolitan Equestrian and our mission to serve our community, our youth, and our veterans through hands-on equine and agricultural programs.

Their generous grant helps us showcase both sides of the land—from the care of horses to the cultivation of agriculture—and how each plays a vital role in healing, growth, and opportunity. As we help cultivate the next generation of leaders, the revival of the agricultural space is not just necessary—it's essential for our shared future. A special thanks to All Island Fence & Railing for coming together with The Home Depot Foundation to bring this huge project together.

We truly can’t thank The Home Depot Foundation enough for believing in our mission. With their help, we're building more than barns—we're building futures. 🧡🌱🐎

At Metropolitan Equestrian, professional development is a top priority. We are committed to ensuring that our instructors continues to grow and teach at the highest level to support riders of all abilities.

A heartfelt thank you Bernie Traurig for always believing in our program and for dedicating his time this past weekend to mentor the instructors of Metropolitan Equestrian during the 5-Day Progression Clinic at the EquestrianCoach Training Center in West Point, VA.

Having the opportunity to learn from a true legend is invaluable.

Bernie is one of the only individuals in the world to have reached the elite levels in all three Olympic equestrian disciplines: Show Jumping, Dressage, and Eventing. He is the founder of EquestrianCoach.com and is widely regarded as one of the most respected educators in the equestrian world. His mentorship is a gift we cherish deeply.

Thank you, Bernie, for your unwavering support and dedication to the future of equestrian sport and education. 🐴💫
