I always love it when this sweet young lady visits her grandparents in the summer. She does at least 2 lessons every day she is here and wow does she make so much progress!!! This week we had a goal to see if we could be ready to just canter a couple xrails by the end of the week. We worked on canter work, setting the horse up for correct lead, being able to tell which lead the horse is on, then started to work on cantering courses over poles with simple lead changes, then cantering individual xrails, then worked on rhythm coming into a combination to make sure we got the correct strides, then ended with cantering a full xrail course. I can’t believe how much she accomplished this week. Today she even got to canter in a field that I finally got mowed and cleared enough. Eventually it will have xc jumps but right now it’s perfect for hill work and learning to balance in the hand gallop position and of course conditioning for horse and rider. They both had a blast and I am so proud of her!!! She even did no stirrup work for her first time when she rode sunshine to give Rodgers a break. Can’t wait to have you back!!!!

We are working with Texas Lake Cabins to offer a fun outing for those staying in their cabin on vacation. We had the first group out and they all got to learn how to brush, tack up, then have a short private riding lesson, wash off the horse, and give treats. We had a fantastic time and I’m excited to have more groups out in the future!

It was incredibly special to have this sweet young lady make the trip up for horse camp this week. I had the privelage of teaching her in Austin before I moved here and this was the first time I’ve been able to see her since 2021. She certainly has gotten a lot taller 😉
She was brand new to riding and had come a long way before I moved.
It was an absolute delight to work with her this week to help strengthen her position in flat work and jumping. How I’ve missed her and it was an absolute highlight to teach her again and get to hang out! Can’t wait to have you back again when you’re able to come back and visit again!!!

It always means so much to have students who i used to teach from before i moved come visit and continue to train with me when they are able!! Such a blessing!

These riders had a blast showing off some great skills in showmanship, trail, equitation and hunter and jumpers over xrails, and finishing with some fun games. I love seeing how versatile they are in their riding and how much they keep improving. Everyone learned a lot and kept improving even throughout the show! Congrats to Ashton and Rodgers for taking champion and Charlee and Rodgers for taking reserve.
Everyone did a great job, so proud of y’all!

What a fantastic horse camp this week! We were sad that 3 campers had to back out last minute but we made the most of the week with the small group size. They learned all about horse care, giving shots, walking jump courses, learning about handling and training a foal and a 4 year old, and got to work on their riding in the arena and on a couple trail rides. Ended the week with a trip to get ice cream to celebrate a wonderful week! So blessed to get to hang out with these ladies at camp! So proud of all your progress this week!!!

These riders did an amazing job at our barn show! It was so fun to see how much they have improved as they handled a variety of classes from trail, to equitation classes, to some fun walk trot games. Huge congratulations to everyone. So proud of y’all!!
Kaydee and Samuel tied for the championship and Frankie took the reserve.

Just a reminder our next beginner barn show will be September 27. If you want a chance at an awesome year end award given out at our Christmas barn party, you must compete in at least three of our barn shows.

We currently have two shows left in the series.

Can’t wait to see y’all back for our September show! Let’s keep up the hard work in our lessons til then. 😉

We had a blast at our beginner camp this week. What a great group of kids!! They got to learn all about horse care, safety while working around horses, parts of saddle bridle and horse as well as marking and colors, lots of horse crafts and riding in the arena prepping for the show as welll as a chnace to go on a trail ride. Time flew bye with them and I can’t wait to have the chance to continue lessons with them. Great work this week!

It was an absolute delight teach these siblings how to ride for the first time! They did such an amazing job and I can’t wait for them to come back to visit their grandparents again so they can take another lesson!

ETHJC always put on such fantastic shows and we always love to sponsor a divison to help them out. It was extra special this time since we sponsored the division where my riders took champion and reserve. So sweet to see their notes as they signed the sponsorship card that ETHJC sends out for each sponsored division.

I love what I do and moments like these make me smile even bigger.

ETHJC show day 2, jumper day. Wow....what else can I say. Once again I'm blown away by these two students! Ashton rode Rodgers in the xrail jumpers, her first time ever doing jumpers and first show on Rodgers. She went from riding a horse requiring a lot of squeezing and pushing yesterday, to a horse that needs a very percise touch today or else can get quick, so impressed with her capability of riding both horses. She did an amazing job of remembering 4 courses, rode beautiful tight balanced turns, great timing of her 2pt, and even got to canter a couple jumps. So impressed with this young lady! Huge congratulations! I think there were 13 or 14 riders in the division, and she managed to place in every class and took reserve! She certainly had a fantastic weekend! Tracy did an incredible job overcoming adversity this week, from pulling her back and having spasms less than a week before the show having to cancel a lessons to try hard to recover in time, doing everything possible to get better. Not the prep week we were hoping for but she managed to ride today and put in some lovely balanced and rhythmic courses, nailing the strides to most every jump, and fantastic turns. Her first round was so beautiful. Sometimes you can't judge how well you did in a class based on placings... you have to judge it by your progress you've made. And even though rails cost her better placings, I couldn't be more proud of how far she has come with her riding! And to push through a tough week keeping a great attitude and just being a great team with Rodgers, makes me smile! We are certainly looking forward to the next show! I loved spending time with these amazing ladies and can't wait for more time with them at the next show! Congratulations again to both of you!
Huge thank you to ETHJC for putting on such wonderful shows! And to my amazing farrier, Tanner Swinson for coming to the rescue to get Sunshine shoe back on before we headed out to the show!
What a perfect weekend :)

Day one of the ETHJC show. I couldn't be prouder of these two ladies. They have come such a long way and I loved seeing all of their hard work and dedication to becoming better riders pay off today! They both rode in the equitation walk/trot poles, and equitation walk/trot xrails division. They put into practice everything we have been drilling in lessons, and it was so fun having them take first and second in the flat class and one of the pole classes. And huge congratulations to Marishka and Rodgers for taking Champion, and Ashton and Sunshine for taking Reserve in the walk/trot poles division which had over 10 riders. Marishka and Ashton both had some good courses in xrails division which was another good size division. Ashton and Sunshine improved with every xrail course! Sunshine got a bit tired in the last class and dropped a rail but it was still their best xrail course even though they didn't place, and I loved how proud Ashton was of their ride despite having unfortunate rail. Marishka had great courses with Rodgers and just barely missed reserve for that division. So blessed to be able to spend the day with these two wonderful ladies! Congratulations again. Loved hearing them cheer each other on and keep great attitudes even with a super early morning.
