Smiling Horse Farm

Rainbow over SHF tonight! Thanks Meredith Neville for the picture! 🌈

It was definitely a hot one at Full Gallop Farm horse trial last weekend! Lara and Buck and Jen and Denali finished 2nd and 4th respectively, both on their dressage scores! Michelle and Val are getting more consistent in the dressage and finished 3rd at starter. Megan and Louis are also getting more consistent in the dressage but Louis was uncharacteristically sticky in show jumping so their day ended early. A huge thanks to all the volunteers, officials and Full Gallop for a great event! As always so much appreciation for our team at home so we can travel! Go SHF! 💪♥️🦄💯🔥🎉🎊👏

Great day at the Smiling Horse Farm Ride-a-Test last Sunday! These are so educational for the riders and horses! There is definitely an 'art' to riding a test. A huge thank you to Lindsay Moore Murphy for scribing all day! Great job everyone! 👊💪💯🔥💫👏♥️

Seriously questioning my career choice at the Foothills Riding Club dressage and CT coaching in the pouring rain May 23. SHF stepped up and rocked it with Jennifer Schaefer and Denali and Lara Lisa Shelnutt and Buck finishing on their dressage scores in 🥇🥈 respectively in their BN division. Michelle Nobrega-Lee and Val rocked around Starter to finish in Fourth. Autumn and Cami and Penelope and Corwin finished in fourth and fifth on their dressage scores respectively in their Intro division. We are so thankful to have this fantastic schooling series and the volunteers that showed up in the pouring rain to make things run smoothly. Go SHF! 💪👏🎉🦄💯❤️🔥💫

There's nothing quite like the enthusiasm, energy and comaraderie of the USEA Intercollegiate and Interscholastic Eventing Championships at Stable View last weekend! Smiling Horse Farm had 3 people competing, 2 on the Clemson team and one Clemson alumni on a scramble team. Lara and Buck finished on their dressage score with lovely jumping rounds to finish in fourth in their BN division, Megan and Louis also finished on their steadily improving dressage score and fabulous xc and SJ to finish 3rd in their starter division. Michelle Nobrega-Lee and Val also had an especially great go but a silly rail in stadium dropped them to 4th. Michelle's scramble team also finished 3rd in the alumni teams! Huge thanks to our team at home 👏Go SHF!!!💯🔥🎉💪👊❤️🌟🏆🥉

Smiling Horse Farm is hosting a Ride-a-Test $85 (with me judging) and small group jumping lessons with Amy Barrington $100 on Saturday May 30. To register contact me 864-933-3529 with any time restrictions and what dressage test you will be riding. We are looking forward to an educational fun day!

Great weekend at the FENCE Horse Trial! We had a small but mighty group with Jennifer Schaefer and Denali and Lara Lisa Shelnutt and Buck finishing on their dressage score in 2nd and 3rd place in their respective Beginner Novice divisions to both qualify for the AEC's 💪🔥♥️. Michelle Nobrega-Lee and Val had an educational trip around Starter and learned a lot as they both figure out the multiple canters they now have available, their balance and focus for each phase. It was so great to see many of our Eventing friends and enjoy the beautiful weather for the event! A huge thanks to the volunteers, organizer and officials as well as our group back home! Go SHF! 💪💯🦄🔥🥳👏👊🏇
