A huge congrats to and on welcoming Aladdin to the family! Kate has been a longtime friend and also a huge piece of our barn staff and family. I am so excited to watch this trio evolve!

Iris had her first lesson today with someone other than Mom, and she did a fantastic job! She’s still learning her new pony’s cues and how to communicate with him, and Stephanie introduced some wonderful exercises that helped bring more organization and clarity to their work together. I’m excited to watch this partnership continue to grow and develop.

Ande and I also spent some time working on the ground and made great progress toward improving his balance, rhythm, and overall body awareness.

A huge thank you to for coming out and teaching today. We’re so grateful for your knowledge, support, and encouragement! ❤️

When you’re surrounded by such an amazing, supportive, and generous group of women, it’s hard to put into words how grateful you feel. 🫶

I was recently invited to participate in a riding clinic, but after a string of unexpected pony vet bills, I made the difficult decision to decline. Like many horse people, I tend to put my animals and everyone else first, and investing in my own riding and education often falls to the bottom of the list. Yet over the last few months, I’ve finally rediscovered my passion for riding and learning, and trying something new.

Today, some of the most incredible women in my small, but cherished, circle surprised me with an early birthday gift. They came together and paid for me to attend the clinic, giving me an opportunity I had convinced myself I couldn’t afford.

To these women: thank you. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, encouragement, and belief in me. Your support means more than you know, and I feel incredibly lucky to have such strong, uplifting friendships in my life. My heart is full, and I can’t wait to make the most of this opportunity. ❤️🐴

Whelp, round two of Buster’s leg injury chronicle...

After multiple attempts to keep Buster wrapped and resting, he became more and more sensitive, and refused to let me touch or wrap the leg he injured last week. We had the vet out for some X-rays, and unfortunately, he sustained two fractures. One being a splint, which is not as concerning, but the other will likely require surgery to remove the fractured piece.

After last month’s eye injury with Finn, and now Busters recent injury, these ponies sure are keeping us on our toes. Hopefully this will be it for the year 😮‍💨

This little pony gave us quite the scare the last few days. His leg got caught in our temporary stall panels (which have wood) and we were concerned about a bowed tendon (in addition to some good scrapes). Luckily his ultrasound checked out clean, and swelling has decreased. Some more rest and small turnout and hopefully some time to heal, and he’ll be good as new!

These ponies know how to get themselves into trouble!

Some exciting things happened this weekend!
Iris welcomed a new pony to our family, and Bowen is officially leasing Finn!

So very thankful for everyone who made this transition possible; these are the moments that make it all worth it ❤️
