Sequim Riding Academy

Im so proud of our kids! Last weekend our Showstoppers and Rascals 4-hers showed at our Clallam County Pre Fair. These kids are also Sequim Riding Academy students and they represent the Academy well!! This is everyone's first year of showing and it brings me back to my first year of showing as a kid and I remember how meaningful those days were and still are to me. I teared up a couple of times watching our kids bond and form life long relationships and memories. Its such a special thing to be part of. There were a few kids who couldn't make it to this one and one who be able to join us again until next show season as she goes through cancer treatment. I cant wait to have our team whole again. I know she was on our minds the whole time wishing she was there. We love you Alexis Gierth!

Thank you to all of our parents and volunteers helping us keep this sport alive!

I'm so proud of our menagerie of academy horses.
We don't have a string of high caliper show horses to work with right now. We have the good old farts that have been there, done that. But not all have been in the show arena. So I thought it would be fun to tell you a little bit about these horses.
Just like with people, age is not everything. When old bodies have stayed active and well cared for they continue to thrive and stay strong. So we don't quit on them until they tell us they are ready for retirement because realistically when they stop exercising they go down hill quickly. There is a special time in their life when they say "retire me" and then we do.
Horses stories are attached as captions to each photo. Enjoy💚
