Our first two weeks showing at the Aiken Summerfest were quite a success! Izzy Lafond spent a few weeks with us this summer and had great rounds with Pinky Promise in the low adults. KT Nemo jumped in great style in the Ariat Medal and adult hunters. Pidarco de Valdespino jumped to a 6th place finish with great scores in the USHJA National Derby as well as some top 🔝 adult hunter placings. Nipyruso H made easy work of the USHJA 3’ jumping to 2nd in both over fences rounds.

Be Patient When Schooling Your Horse

If horses came with an instruction manual, life would be a lot easier. But they don’t, and that’s probably just as well, because half the fun (and half the grey hairs) comes from figuring it out together.

When we ask a horse for a shoulder in, a circle with bend, or even a simple halt, we know what we mean. The horse, however, does not. They haven’t been studying the FEI rulebook in their spare time. To them, it’s just their rider suddenly asking for something peculiar and they’re left to wonder whether it’s worth co operating or if a polite wobble (or a not-so-polite hop) might be easier.

It’s rather like asking your granny to master TikTok overnight, she’ll get there in the end, but you’ll need a good dose of patience while she works out which button does what.

A new movement feels strange to the horse. Muscles protest, balance shifts, and for a while they look more like a shopping trolley with a wonky wheel than the graceful athlete you were hoping for. But with repetition, rest, and a bit of encouragement, things improve. What was once awkward becomes elegant provided we don’t rush them.

Patience is the rider’s greatest tool, though many of us misplace it as soon as the horse starts arguing. It is not the horse’s job to know instantly. It is ours to explain kindly, to reward the smallest try, and to resist the temptation of “just one more time” (which always ends badly).

Good schooling isn’t about drilling or demanding perfection. It’s about communication, fairness, and yes keeping your sense of humour when things go badly. Because when your horse decides that leg yield means sideways towards the gate and not across the diagonal, sometimes the best you can do is laugh, regroup, and try again tomorrow.

Give them the time to work it out. Horses taught with patience today become the willing partners of tomorrow. And if they test your temper in the meantime? Well, that’s horses for you always reminding us that the learning never ends on either side of the saddle

For many buyers, a pre-purchase exam (PPE) feels like the ultimate green light. If the horse “passes,” the future looks bright. If not, the deal is off. But according to Dr. Julie Vargas of Spy Coast Farm, that view oversimplifies what a PPE can really tell you.

At a recent Plaidcast In Person event, Vargas shared a candid perspective on the limitations of pre-purchase exams and why buyers need to think of them as a risk assessment, not a guarantee.

“Pre-purchase is a statistical evaluation of risk on that day,” Vargas explained. In other words, a PPE captures how a horse looks and performs under examination at a single moment in time. It cannot predict the future or eliminate risk entirely.

That’s especially important when considering the growing use of advanced imaging. Many buyers now expect radiographs of joints, backs, and even necks, even when no clinical issues are present. These images may show anomalies (changes in bone shape, small lesions, or other findings) that may or may not ever affect the horse’s performance.

With better technology, Vargas noted, veterinarians are simply seeing more. But that doesn’t mean every finding carries long-term significance.

This creates a challenge for both veterinarians and buyers. How should a finding be weighed? Some changes might remain clinically silent for a horse’s entire career, while others could indicate a greater risk for future problems.

Vargas acknowledged that veterinarians are put in a difficult position: “I hate pre-purchases and I love them. Every other vet will say the same.” They can provide valuable information, but also place vets in the role of predicting the unknown—an impossible task.

In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case of Jacobellis v. Ohio, a First Amendment dispute in which a theater owner sued the state of Ohio over its attempt to ban him from showing a French film with an explicit love scene.
