We had a small but mighty crew at the Big Cheese Eventing show yesterday!
⭐️ Alexa and Olson moved up to beginner novice and had a beautiful, clear round. So proud of this pair’s progress.
⭐️ Abbi and Flame moved up to novice. Abbi rode so confidently and Flame responded with just as much confidence, adding another clear round to her resume.
More than anything, I was so proud to see my riders cheering on not only each other but so many others who entered the ring. Thank you to all of our wonderful barn family who came out to show their support. Go

Big Cheese Eventing schooling show recap!
⭐️ Elena and Dakkar did their first CT together in the pre-amoeba. Elena did a beautiful job of piloting him around and getting him over all of the fences in stadium, which was our main goal for the day. I love seeing his confidence grow with each outing.

Rider spotlight on Jessica!
Jessica has grown leaps and bounds in our program both in confidence and ability, but more than anything she has found her love for riding again and I absolutely love to see it. 🧡 .rakowiecki

Show recap!!
We took a small group of riders to the AYDC show at the Conyers horse park over the weekend and I’m so proud of how everyone did.
Alexa and Olson tackled their second CT together, finishing on their dressage score in the amoeba division in 6th place.
Ava and Sunny also finished on their dressage score in the starter division in 4th place. This was Ava’s first time riding at the level!
Abbi and Flame put in two quick, clear rounds at 2’3 and 2’6, finishing 1st and 2nd.
Proud of my team and thankful for all of the wonderful friends and family who come out to support us. On to the next!

Boarders and students, please take note!!
(Also, ANY time you use another arena it should be left exactly as you found it, not just this week. 🙂) Thank you!

Proud of all my students today at the BCE schooling show! It was a long, hot day but everyone rode well, learned from their mistakes and remembered to pat their ponies.
🟠 Annabelle and Jade teamed up for their first show together. A premature exit from the dressage arena led to an unfortunate elimination, but they went on to have two beautiful, clear jump rounds.
🟠 Ava and Sunny had a dressage score of 36 followed by a clear jump round to finish 4th in the amoeba CT.
🟠 Alexa and Thor completed their first CT together with a 35 in dressage (including an 8 for his medium walk!) and a clear jump round, finishing 2nd in the pre-amoeba CT. They added an amoeba jump round and went clear, also earning 2nd place.
🟠 Elena and Dakkar did their first dressage test together, earning a 59% in Intro B. Dakkar can be a very tricky horse to ride and I was so proud of the way Elena handled his nerves.
As always, grateful to be the coach of 🧡

The only way Mondays are a drag around here! 🤩 We have converted our jump poles into a dressage arena and are ready to use our lessons this week to practice our tests in preparation for the Big Cheese show this weekend!
