I cannot stress this enough to my students! Get off the rail and USE THE SPACE

On April 4th, I harrowed our arena; then I headed out for the day - when I arrived back in the evening it was obvious riders had been to farm, working horses and using the facilities. They were all gone, but as I walked by this ring I couldn’t help but beam and capture this photo.

This is an arena used by component, aware riders - do you see how the hoof prints are evenly dispersed? No hard packed ridge around the outer edge of the arena? No “circle of death” packed pathway at A? This arena had riders who were using the ENTIRE space, riding into their corners, serpentines, long diagonals, short diagonals, center line.

Everywhere they could have ridden they did. And it made me beam because while I don’t know WHO rode that day, I know each of them learned to ride like that; actively steering and balancing the horse, in our program.

Great riding, riders - What excellent students you are!

🌸 Spring Has Sprung 🌸
We kicked off the spring season with multiple XC schoolings and a quick trip to Texas Rose for their spring horse trial (though the 90° temps made it feel like summer. 🥵)

Nicole Jackson is continuing to gain valuable experience in the eventing world & made the trip to Texas for her first out of event, where she and Hugo Boss “Huey” cinched a top 3 finish in the senior novice, adding just one rail to their 31 dressage score! It was a massive improvement from their show debut together last fall, and an exciting glimpse for their future!

Ginger Stiver’s Hennessy Venom “Vinny” also went to Texas and had 3 knock the rust off phases in the open novice. We are still on the EPM recovery so my expectations are at zero, but it was nice to have the pressure off to let him jump around and feel his confidence re-grow throughout each phase.

Last weekend I took Nicole & Sam to Mission Valley Hunt Club’s annual hunter pace — I was bummed I couldn’t ride due to cyst on my tailbone. 🥲 Despite not being able to ride, it was a beautiful day hanging out with the hunt club and watch Nicole & Sam partake in the races (which they won!), not to mention a solid conditioning day for the thoroughbreds!

As we look toward a busy spring, I want to remind riders that our arena is open for haul in show jump practice ($35/horse) or you may schedule a lesson and waive the haul in fee! Additionally, our XC course should be open within the next 2 weeks weather permitted. Text 913-548-9632 to schedule a time!

Y’all know I will look for any excuse to brag on all of “my kids”! Sam & Archer recently had their first XC schooling since Otter Creek’s August event and blew me away with their improvements! Sam had a busy fall going into his freshman year of high school and being in marching band + tennis (aka he lives a busy & full life, which I FULLY encourage my people to do), so showing took the back burner— which was the PERFECT time to really hone in on the boring, slow, tedious work in his lessons. Brick by brick he is building a solid foundation and I’m so proud of how much he continues to grow mentally, analytically, and physically. Nothing makes me more excited for my people than when I see the things we’re working up to all of a sudden click. 💙

Happy week!! Here’s a throwback to 2023 where Vinny put in 3 big boy rides at his first FEI event! While I was proud of his results that weekend, my biggest takeaway was how much he grew up & rose to the occasion of such a massive & electric environment. The giant monitors in the international ring, VIP tents, wacky waving arm flailing tube men, rock wall, vendors, and just overall buzzing atmosphere was a lot for his baby brain to take in, and he handled it with so much maturity! Have a fabulous & fun time to everyone in SoPines this week!!!

Our Horse Peeps Christmas party was another fun & successful night with the always classic “white elephant” gift stealing, plus a new tradition of Roomballoon fights! We had 45 balloons start the battle and only 1 came out alive!! 😂🤣🎈🔪

Congrats Allie on being the inaugural Roomballoon champion! 💙🤍🏆💰
