🌻We finally made it to a show!🎊
Our kids have been so flexible and positive this year as show after show was rained out. But this weekend made up for all the cruddy weather luck by gifting us with the most gorgeous horse show day at Hidden Lake Farm !.........
💙 Sadie & TMac cruised around Groundpoles like seasoned hunters despite this being the first English show for both of them! Sadie even earned a 6th in one of her jump rounds! Being one of the smallest and youngest kids can be intimidating, but not for Sadie! 😂👏.........
💙 Madison was flexibility queen- a last minute pony change for the flat class + Tyson deciding he was going to hop every crossrail versus trot normal over them gave her every opportunity to be frazzled. But instead she rose to the occasion and rode each curveball with amazing poise and put in three lovely rounds in Walk/Trot Crossrails plus an *awesome* flat class on Angel!.........
💙 Hensley rocked her first ever show with Terra in Walk/Trot Crossrails despite feeling under the weather and having to face the challenge of first horse show nerves at a giant show! After a 10/10 gorgeous warmup in the morning, she exemplified grace under pressure despite a bobble in each of her jump rounds. We are so proud of her persevering through the challenges of her first show! ..........
💙 Alicyn has had a roller coaster of a year with Spirit having a pasture accident the early morning of what would have been our first show back in February. While Spirit is on stall rest healing, she has been working hard on her canter skills with Wasabi. These two rode their very best and earned a 2nd and 3rd in their jump rounds in their very first show after moving up to Walk/Trot/Canter Crossrails!..........
💙 Lilah & Georgia showed in Future Jumpers on Saturday which meant Lauren was responsible for photos and she took zero good ones.😂Sorry Lilah! But these two put on a master class of effective jumping and other than a rail and one wrong turn, were flawless ending with 1st place in their two clean rounds!

Thanks to Madi for coming to support the girls and pony wrangle Terra and to Kirstie and Leslie for lovely photos to share special memories with y'all!

As it would turn out, 2 inches of rain in 12 hours after weeks of wind shifting the arena sand around weird causes this mess. ☠️

Needless to say, the arena is closed and lessons will resume next week. 😂

This might be the most satisfying photo ever. 😂
Nothing like a good spring groom!

Girls and ponies all did great not blowing away in lessons this afternoon. Y'all buckle up, it would appear that it's gonna be an extra windy spring! 💨

🌸Hello Spring!🌸

03/07/2025

Gorgeous spring sunsets! 🌼🌻

03/04/2025

Two weeks ago: -5 wind chill
Last night: 80mph straightline winds + thunderstorm
Today: Sustained 45mph gusting to 60 plus...a dust storm???? And the power went out this afternoon.

Note the water tank that has *blown* to the middle of the boys' paddock. 😂
There will be no lessons today. 😂

Who else is excited about our longer days and Daylight Savings being almost here??! 😍🙋‍♀️

Free Jump Day!
Enjoy the horses' ratings on how yesterday's training went. 😂
HUGE thank you to amazing barn mom Leslie for these awesome pictures!!

🧇 Waffles: 9/10- "So fun. Dead gallop seems to not be the correct way to approach the bigger stuff unfortunately, cause that's the most fun way. But once I figured that out, I was so unbelievably awesome, no one could possibly ever top my performance. I rock."

🥊Tyson: 5.5/10- "This was a stupid exercise when the humans were trying to help guide my technique. 1/10 for this method. But when I am getting to flat out run the entire arena on my own and *choose* to go through the chute, that's a 4/10 good time. Extra half point cause refusing to be caught was a nice bonus time. For a total of 5.5. Too much effort required overall."

🐣Tata: 1/10- "I actually hated this. Were it not for my mom giving me cookies throughout this horrendous exercise, I would have given it a 0/10, possibly even a -1/10. Jumping is so much work. Don't listen when the humans say the tallest they made me jump was barely 2'. It was actually 10' and it was too hard. Yuck. But lead changes are really cool and I'm super awesome at those. Can we just do that instead next time??"

🦐Roux: 11/10- "This is my favorite thing ever. Please note that the humans didn't even have to tell me what to do, I did this four years ago all the time and I'm a brilliant genius so of course I remember the drill, just shut up and let me jump. Those dumb boys make this look way harder than it really is. They should've paid more attention when it was my turn cause I put on a clinic. But alas, you can't fix stupid. Not really my problem."

❤️Ginny: 4/10- "So actually I really thought that neon tape was gonna eat me while warming up on the lunge line, and I don't really know why we needed to go even closer to it to go over the jump. We coulda just revelled in the glory that is me showing off my racehorse gallop around the rest of the arena. So I chose to do that instead and for some reason the humans were not impressed. But whatever, I got cookies and snuggles out of it and the jump wasn't bad."

🕷️Wednesday: 10/10- "I really feel that further explanation is not needed on this rating. You showed me what to do once. I then did it perfectly at every height and didn't even break a sweat. I'm fantastic. Duh."

Today's temps were still extremely unpleasant 😂
But five brave midday souls took it on and we were .... Cold. The ponies were perfect though. We love our lesson herd!

(Beanie over helmet is a great cold weather hack/fashion statement.😍)

The front pond currently: ❄️😬

02/18/2025

The barn is prepped and ready for what is hopefully the final cold blast of the year. (It sure better be!😭😂)
Stay warm and safe everyone!

While we can't make it an "official" barn group activity as Lauren will be teaching all day, we highly encourage any of our ages 8-adult students who are interested in showing/already showng to attend this clinic. $40 10-3:30, lunch included. Fabulous opportunity to learn. Registration link in post.

If your lesson is normally on Saturdays but you're interested in attending this, message Lauren and she'll happily reschedule you!

(Couldn't figure out how to share the post directly to our page- Facebook is being weird.)

Well, the first show of the year didn't pan out as expected. Spirit had a mystery injury at some point during the night and needed a trip to the vet very early in the morning. She will be okay after some stall rest and rehab time. (Apparently when she heard that the groundhog said we have six more weeks of winter and it's coming back today, she decided to find a way to ensure that she will be staying inside for the remainder of the cold months.💙🤣🫣).........
However Lily and her pony Midnight powered through and braved their first Leadline class all on their own and did fantastic! 👏..........
Then after we had Spirit settled, we were able to run up and just *barely* make it in time to get Lilah in the ring for Future Jumpers where they kicked off their show season with winning Champion! .........
Waffles lucked out and the 18" Hunter division that he was supposed to school in was already done so we puttered around for awhile in the ring doing our own thing and practicing being a good calm boy with no friends in the cold and the rain! No photos unfortunately of the glittery hearts on his b***y that the girls gave him.😂.........
Huge shout out to Emma, Madison, Remi, Alicyn, Mallory, Presley, and Lucy for being so flexible with missing out on showing today. Horse wellbeing will always come first above shows and they all truly embodied their commitment to that today with the extremely last minute change of plans. We are excited to see them all rock in one of the next few shows which are both at Hidden Lakes Feb 23rd and March 9th.........
Spirit will be chilling in the stall across from Waffles/Martin for awhile, so feel free to shower her with whatever love and affection and good vibes so she heals quickly for Alicyn! 💙

Thank you Hidden Lake Farm for being wonderful!

Can't beat our sunsets. 😍

01/30/2025

The farm had some incredibly funky thick fog/rain/mist that the horses found...stimulating shall we say.😂

So it was very much a quick groundwork conditioning evening for a few ponies and then an early evening feed to get ahead of the worst of the rain.
Thank y'all for bearing with the wacky lesson schedule this January is producing.
