Live Oaks Lane Farm

Living in Alaska is extraordinarily expensive with limited resources. If you are looking for a way to support and grow our dressage community this is a great opportunity to support our remote friends.

Region 5 dates for 2026 announced! Haras Hacienda will be hosting three qualifiers and Region 5 finals at their fantastic facility. Entries will open on HorseSpot in the next couple of days. Please stay tuned on Facebook and sign up for our mailing list at www.younghorseshow.com to get an update as soon as the entry platform is live.

The Dressage Foundation has announced the creation of its new Leatherdale Fund for Trainers of Young Horses, established by a gift from Louise Leatherdale. Beginning in 2026, the fund will provide financial support for high-quality group educational opportunities for trainers of young dressage horses in the U.S.

When every horse ad says 'bomb proof' 😆😆😆

Based on all current information, we are fairly positive that the WPRA Finals was not the starting point for this EHV outbreak. Events of that size bring horses from every direction, which naturally increases the risk of airborne viruses, but that does not make WPRA the source.

There has also been a lot of speculation about patient zero, so let us say this plainly. Jennifer Sharp was not patient zero. She did everything right. The moment she learned how serious and contagious this situation was, she packed up, put the horse first, and went home. That level of responsibility is exactly what helps stop the spread.

We genuinely appreciate clients who take action quickly, communicate honestly, and prioritize the safety of every horse around them. Owners like Jennifer make a difference.

Stay alert, stay honest, and stay home if your horse was exposed. Responsible decisions are what slow this down.

Coby van Baalen talks about Ferro: “I always believed that Ferro was a very good horse because he has a very good character, and the power in his hind legs is very good. He is a strong horse. We saw he had a lot of talent for collection, we worked on the basics, many many transitions until he went better, started to use his back better.

#ad An inside perspective of what the top dressage horses are thinking during each movement at the US Equestrian Open 😂🐴 What songs do you think your horse would be singing internally? 🎤🐴 #Horsesandhumor #horse #equestrian #dressage #USEqOpen

When temps drop, your horse’s best heater is their hay.

As they digest forage, it creates internal warmth. Literally heating them from the inside out! So before reaching for another blanket, toss in an extra flake or two. Their stomach will thank you, and so will their body temp.

Bonus tip: More hay = more water needs. Keep water unfrozen and easy to drink with a heated bucket.
