SHOW REPORT // it was a great day for Team Orange at the Big Cheese Eventing Schooling Show HT & CT! We had four horse & rider teams competing today. Swipe all the way to the end for our mascot’s thoughts 👀

🧡 ELENA & LULU were our first team up, competing in the pre-amoeba CT and earning a first place win in their division.

🧡 Next was ANNABELLE & IVY in their final show together, putting down a lovely dressage test and a clear jump round in the amoeba division, earning a first place win.

🧡 After that was BLAIR & BO, improving on their dressage score and jumping a clear stadium round in amoeba, earning a second place and securing the top two spots in the division for Kelleytown!

🧡 Finally, ABIGAIL & ARMANI wrapped our day up with a gorgeous dressage round and clear stadium round. A hiccup at a water question in XC kept them out of the ribbons this time, but Abigail was able to restore Armani’s confidence and got him through it after a quick schooling session, valuing her horse’s experience over their placement.

Well done to Team Orange, and thanks to our non-riding teammates for their team spirit and support on the ground today!

New to the barn? We’ve all been there. Walking into a horse barn for the first time can feel a little overwhelming—so many stalls, so many horses, so many “unspoken rules.” But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

This quick guide to basic barn etiquette will help you feel right at home. From keeping gates latched to asking before entering a stall, these small steps make a big difference for horse safety and barn harmony. Horses are happiest (and safest) when visitors and riders know how to move around them with confidence and respect.

Think of this as your crash course in horse barn manners. Respect quiet spaces, keep things tidy, and when in doubt—just ask! Most equestrians love sharing their knowledge, and every barn family remembers what it’s like to be the “new person.” Asking questions shows you care about the horses and want to be part of the community.

Save this post for later and share it with a friend who’s starting lessons, joining a new barn, or just dipping their boots into the equestrian world. Because the more you know, the more fun you’ll have at the barn!

We’ve all had those “Oh… oops” moments in the saddle 🙃
From clinging to the reins like a lifeline to skipping the warm-up because you’re “just gonna pop over a few jumps” (famous last words), every rider has a few habits that sneak in without us noticing.

The good news? They’re super fixable — and your horse will feel the difference. 🐴✨

Swipe through to see 5 of the most common riding mistakes (plus easy fixes you can try on your next ride).

Which one do you catch yourself doing most?

Summer heat’s no joke — and if you’ve ever pulled up to the barn for a ride and wondered "Is it too hot to work today?"...you're not alone.

At our barns, we’ve adjusted our turnout schedules (hello, cool night air 🌙) and we’re always keeping an eye on hydration, rest time, and comfort so your horse stays safe and ride-ready, even when the temps spike.

There’s still plenty you can do to help your horse stay cool and comfortable , even if you’re not the one doing daily chores! We pulled together some practical, rider-friendly summer tips that make a real difference: ride timing, grooming routines, signs of heat stress to watch for, and more.

If you ever feel unsure, we’re happy to talk through what’s best for your horse.

Got questions? Want help adjusting your summer routine? Slide into our DMs — we actually love that stuff.

Congratulations to trainer Sarah Edwards for a successful, well rounded showing at this horse trial with Team Orange!

Special thanks to our non-riding teammates Ashley and Jessica for coming out to support and help us with tacking, hosing, grooming, and holding during our back-to-back rounds! We’re also so thankful to the countless family members and friends who came out to show their support. We wouldn’t be without you!
