Im excited to announce, starting January 2026 all lesson students will have a documented comprehensive checklist of riding skills and general knowledge, which will be updated every lesson. This document will be made available to the students and parents in order to mark progress and better keep track of skills.

I’m sure your student is absolutely tired of me asking “what did we work on last week?” “Have I taught you this yet?” “What horses have you ridden?”
We’re putting that problem to bed 😊

I am so excited to implement this, and hope I can be the best lesson instructor your child/you deserve(s)!

**there are a few remaining lessons spots if anyone would like themselves or their child added to the program***

As we maintain our facility lockdown, we continue have a full heard of healthy horses. LHE will plan to reopen our doors to outside horses starting January 2026; however, each horse will be required to be in no contact with outside/traveling horses for 14 days prior to arrival at LHE. Horses coming in for training will also be required to have a health certificate within 5 days of its arrival.

These requirements may be subject to change as we continue to monitor the outbreak.

**if you are seeking training for your equine partner, please reach out at your convenience. Training spots are currently filled for the next three months.**

Thank you!!!

I know this is based purely off of my Google Reviews and nothing else, but that only means I have an amazing client base that leaves me wonderful Google reviews. YOU ALL are something I am beyond thankful for this year!🥰

This is what happens when you don’t take care of your saddles. You have to redo all of the stitching and stab your fingers a dozen times

it’s me. I don’t take care of my saddles🫣

Last two photos are the finished product. I’d say I learned my lesson, but let’s be honest, I probably didn’t

Due to the current outbreak, LHE will not be taking outside horses and no horse will be allowed off property until further notice. This facility has no confirmed cases and we hope to keep it that way. Keep your horses safe!

As we continue to monitor the current outbreak of the neurologic form of equine herpesvirus infection (equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy, EHM), let's take this opportunity to discuss once more the importance of biosecurity measures to stop disease spread. We recommend the following biosecurity precautions for horse owners, particularly if their horses have recently traveled to horse shows or were exposed to horses that have traveled:

1) Monitor horses for clinical signs (including fever, discharge from the nostrils, toe-dragging or a lack of balance) and take the temperature twice daily. Temperature greater than 101.5 F is considered a fever.
2) Immediately isolate any horse(s) showing clinical signs. Equine herpesvirus is an aerosolized virus and is spread through shared airspace, direct contact, and contaminated caretakers or equipment. A good isolation area is a separate barn or shelter that does not share airspace with healthy horses.
3) Implement movement restrictions until the situation is evaluated.
4) Contact your veterinarian to evaluate your horse and to propose a comprehensive biosecurity protocol.
5) Increase biosecurity measures that include extensive cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment that come in contact with affected horses: wash or sanitize your hands between interacting with horses; take time while filling water buckets and feed tubs, do not cross contaminate; minimize the use of shared equipment and tack.
6) Make sure your horse is up to date on vaccinations.
7) Establish communication with all parties involved (owners, boarders, trainers, etc.).

Proof I’ve gone too soft on my newer lesson kids. I use to make poor cate climb a rickety step stool to toss her saddle! Well…you’re an outstanding rider now, so it worked 😆
