❤️ If I live for 1000 years, this picture will always remind me of one of my proudest moments. Lois is my horse, and she is weird: she’s an off the track TB and hasn’t had the easiest life with a lot of poor training. This picture represents her willingness to take a walk of faith for my oldest daughter, Kate, who has learned to support her and encourage her and most importantly, how to be kind to her. If I had a nickel for every time I saw Kate reassure her with a gentle pat or soft word or the support of her leg when she needed it over the past weekend, I’d be rich.
Being a horseman is not about ribbons or riding better than anyone else. One of the most valuable things we have to teach is how to lose graciously and to never put your competitive spirit above the needs of your horse. It’s about learning to love something bigger than you. It’s about making mistakes and valuing the chance to make a correction. It’s about knowing when to be hard and when to be soft.
My oldest daughter is becoming my hero - how lucky am I?!? ❤️ 🌈 🦄

It was an incredible team effort with our friend and fellow trainer at to put on a private schooling extravaganza at River Glen for our lesson students this past Sunday! Our riders got the chance to school the ring over fences as well as the cross country course! Collaboration and working together makes the world go around - it takes a village! ❤️

Horrific sweat scald - caused by blatant laziness of a rider who repeatedly asked this horse to perform in hot weather - and was then habitually too lazy to take proper care of him. This took a month of neglect to show itself, and will take weeks of care to heal. Unacceptable.

Epic haul-out Barn trail ride to Buffalo Mountain tonight! 9 saddled horses loaded on the trailer, our other riders following us in the car behind and 5 excited barn brats in my truck…..yapping my ear off around every tight turn with their little helmeted heads blocking my side mirrors! 😂 They rode their little hearts out on our trusty steeds right on up the mountain! More photos coming tomorrow - but this one sums it up pretty well! ❤️
