Hidden Canyon Farms

A couple new friends have arrived at Sky Canyon Ranch! 🤍

Smartly Colored Cat, lovingly known as Kitty, along with Dolly and Jolene, have officially started calling Gardnerville home.

We’re definitely going to miss these three sweet faces at home base, but we’re also so excited to see them settling into their new surroundings and enjoying this next chapter.

We couldn’t be happier to have them here and are looking forward to all the fun, adventures, and memories that come with having these three around.

September is Su***de Prevention Month.

Sometimes the barn is more than a place to ride.
Sometimes it’s the one place someone feels like they belong.
Sometimes it’s the one place someone still feels needed.

Take care of your barn family.
Check on your people.
Notice when someone isn’t themselves.

You belong here. 💚💙

What an incredible two weeks for this longtime partnership! 

Calypso and Elise had an outstanding two weeks in the hunter ring, laying down beautiful, consistent rounds from the 2’6 to the 2’9.

Last week, the pair earned Reserve Champion in the 2’6 Child/Adult Equitation before moving up to the 2’9 Hunters this week and earning another Reserve Championship in the 2’9 Child/Adult Hunters.

They also stepped into the $1,500 2’6 Hunter Derby and put in a beautiful round, earning a career-high score of 167 and a 2nd place finish out of 30 entries!

Calypso and Candace also had a fantastic showing in the $5,000 JH Sporthorses USHJA National Hunter Derby, putting in a beautiful round and earning a top 12 finish.

So proud of this incredible horse and the partnerships he has built with both Elise and Candace. What a two weeks!

We also want to take a moment to recognize the incredible riders and horses who joined us over the past few weeks. It was a pleasure having each of these partnerships as part of our team and watching them step up throughout the show.

Ezequiel LS and Kate made their first appearance together in the National Derby,
GK Claude and Edie stepped up to the 1.20m division,
Picasso JM and Kennedy put in a series of consistent rounds,
Cadillac ZGZ and Francesca delivered beautiful rounds in the 1.0m, and
Malibu D and Tabitha continued their success with another .80m Classic win and championship honors.

Thank you all for joining us and for being such an important part of the last few weeks. We are proud of each of these partnerships and look forward to seeing all that is ahead for them!

What an incredible first show for this pair!

Jenna and Moscow stepped into the ring together for the very first time over the last two weeks, and we couldn’t be more proud of how they showed up.

These two put together beautiful, consistent rounds in the jumper ring, competing at the .70m, .80m, and .90m. They also made their equitation debut, earning a top 3 finish in the Almaden Farms Medal and a top 2 finish in the Cloverleaf Medal!

What a way to start their show career together. We’re so proud of Jenna and Moscow and all the hard work they’ve been putting in at home. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see where this partnership goes!

What an incredible two weeks for this new partnership!

Malka LS D’Aubigny and Candace stepped up to the 1.20m and put in beautiful, consistent rounds throughout the two weeks. This pair has already shown just how much potential they have, and we can’t wait to watch them continue to develop and move up the ranks together.

Definitely a partnership to watch! We’re so excited for what’s ahead for Malka and Candace.

Jenna and Moscow stepped into both the jumper and equitation rings this week, earning multiple ribbons across both divisions. This pair continues to build an impressive partnership with every round, and we’re so pleased with the progress they’re making together. We’re excited to see what the rest of the weekend brings for Jenna and Moscow!

A great first week at the show, with plenty to celebrate and even more to look forward to!

Calypso and Elise had a fantastic week, earning Reserve Champion in both the Equitation and 2’6” Hunters.

Moscow made his first horse show a memorable one, coming home **Champion in the .65m**. Jenna and Moscow also stepped into their very first Equitation Medal together, which was such an exciting milestone for this young pair.

Malka and Candace were back for their second show together and put in some beautiful, consistent rounds in the 1.10m division.

Ezequiel LS and Kate joined us for another show week and laid down a beautiful round in the National Derby.

So proud of all of these horses and riders and the work they’ve put in to get here. We still have another week of showing ahead, and we can’t wait to see what’s next! ❤️

There’s something incredibly special about bringing along a green horse for the first time—watching the partnership develop, putting in the work, and then seeing it all come together in the ring.

Jenna and her new mount, Moscow, stepped into the ring together for the very first time today, and they couldn’t have made us prouder. This pair has been putting in the work at home, building trust, confidence, and a strong foundation—and it showed.

Congratulations, Jenna and Moscow! This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what you two accomplish together.

❤️💛🤍

Calypso and owner Elise Moir stepped into the equitation ring and showed everyone exactly what they can do! 

The pair put together a fantastic day, earning 1st and 2nd place finishes and Reserve Champion honors in their division. 

Calypso truly can do it all, and Elise rode beautifully from start to finish. So proud of this pair and all they continue to accomplish together!
