After our barn Christmas party I was invited to come watch one student perform in many different roles in a Christmas performance and after that finished I drove to watch another two students perform as angels in theirr Christmas performance.
So blessed to be able to support these students as they show off other talents they have! Y’all did amazing!

What a special and blessed time with my students and their families as we had our Christmas Barn Party today. It always goes by way too fast! Everyone enjoyed a variety of pancakes and other breakfast foods. Students found their gift bags with HSS goodies in them. Winners of our games got to pick additional HSS swag. Students voted one their favorite horse by putting a horse treat in the stocking. Rodgers was very excited to be the winner this year with the most treats. Then we handed out our year end awards for our HSS show series. Riders had to compete in three of our five shows to qualify. Huge congratulations to these riders!!! Can’t wait for our series next year!

We had a blast today but of course missed those that couldn’t make it.

Thank you all for being the most amazing students! I’m so truly blessed to have the opportunity to teach you and most importantly to have you in the HSS family!

Merry Christmas!!

I can’t thank this amazing group enough for coming out this morning for our barn beatification day.
I had along list of things to do but we started off painting stadium jumps and 3.5 hours flew by and we were still painting jumps.
What a fun morning working with these awesome people and then getting to hang out and eat lunch together while catching up. Loved every minute!

Thank you all so much for sacrificing your morning to help out!!!

We will plan to do another one of these in the spring. Dates for our events in 2026 will be finalized in a couple weeks and sent out in our yearly newsletter. Plus everything is always posted on our website. Be sure to mark your calendar with our event dates when they come out. 🙂

Wow!!! I am so impressed with how far these riders have come! They all did a fantastic job and have shown so much improvement We also had a lot of students get to compete for their first time at this show and we sure hope to have them back for the full show series in 2026! Congratulations to everyone on a job well done!
We had a great group but are sorry some had to scratch this morning due to sickness. We missed y’all and hope you feel better soon.

Just about to start our last barn show of the year. We have a big group of riders coming and the weather is perfect! Can’t wait to see these students show off all they have learned!

Just a heads up our barn beautification day that was supposed to be tomorrow has been rescheduled to November 15, 8:30am-12. We will eat lunch together at noon and I will provide food for lunch for all the helpers. Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us on that date 😉

We also have our last HSS barn show on November 8 and the rain date for that is November 15 but I’m hoping we won’t have to use the rain date.

If you want to help out with projects such as painting, getting rid of cobb webs in the barn, and so many other little projects, please let me know by November 10 so I can order enough food and can text you if we need to reschedule again due to bad weather.

Young students are welcome to help too but a parent must accompany them to supervise at all times.

We love putting on birthday parties or parties for any special events! Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate for our next big group that was celebrating a birthday in the afternoon on Saturday. But they were such great sports and we had the party in the barn. The kids got to do a fun picture clue scavenger hunt til it led them to the goodie bags. After that they did some crafts while taking turns learning how to brush Ruby and of course give her some pats and kisses. After cake and presents, the skies cleared for a short bit and they got to meet the rest of the herd and give them some treats.
Everyone had a blast and I’m delighted we could help them celebrate the birthday!
