Mitchelane Farms

Wow, I've really been slacking on updates around the farm!

Early this month we welcomed 2 new horses to the farm. Welcome to Mint (grey), owned by Shannon Hiscocks, and Royal (dark bay) who is going to transition into our lesson program!

We also said goodbye to Houdini as he was purchased by a lovely family from the Odessa/Kingston area.

Last weekend, our show team had a lovely get together to share stories and reflect on our show season. We kicked things off with a trail ride, then had a small awards ceremony and a pot luck dinner. We can't wait to see what next season brings for this group of riders!

More fun news coming up in the near future, so keep an eye on our page!

Great afternoon with our show team, celebrating our achievements this season! Went for a trail ride, then to the house for awards and a pot luck meal! I think a good day was had by all! Missing from today was River (Anna-marie Michel) and Liam Buchholz

If they can’t walk and steer, they can’t trot and steer.
If they can’t balance at the trot, they aren’t ready to canter.
If they can’t go catch their own horse, groom it, tack it up and take responsibility for it, how are they supposed to lead that horse from the saddle?

Going faster does not equal getting better. Strapping your kid to a horse and sending them into the arena isn’t making them better, it’s setting them up to get hurt.

You might think watching your kid walk circles isn’t exciting. You might think they should be cantering, jumping “doing more.”

But sometimes they’re simply not ready.

And respectfully — that’s why you hired an instructor. Because knowing how and when to progress a rider is our job.

We aren’t holding your kid back. We’re building the foundation that keeps them safe and makes them GOOD.

So, I've been slacking for sure, lol. Post regarding the gaming show during Farmersville Exhibition on July 12th.

What a day! Had its ups and downs, but overall the entire team came away with new experiences and new goals.

Emma and Karma (I'm The Boss) had recorded times in all of their events. This is a pretty new team and I couldn't be more proud of the hard work they have put in. This was the first time out for both of them!

River and Forrest (Forrest Ranger) laid in some of their fastest runs yet, and anyone who knows Forrest knows what a feat that is! They had recorded times in all of their events!

Kasey and Houdini (Magic Man) just keep improving every time they go out. They met our goal of having recorded times in all of their events and got better times than their first time out!

Easton and Remi (Remmingto) had a bit of a rough start with a fall in their barrel run and crossing the timer in their poles run, but they toughed it out and just kept getting better as a team all day. This green pony and green rider team certainly showed their resilience and kept showing up, getting recorded times in both their keyhole and dash!

Kaylee and Chase (Chasing Dreams) placed in the top 10 consistently, with lots of competitive riders in their division, and they were in the 2D money in their poles and flag runs! Kaylee also took Karma for a few runs just for her own experience and had a blast!

Houdini and I laid down some personal best run times and finished just out of the money in a few events. But we had some clean and technical runs, so the speed will come!

Next up is Horse-A-Rama Weekend gaming show from July 31st to August 2nd!

Haven't had the opportunity to jump much since last fall, so Kaylee Mitchell and I got out for a bit this afternoon with Chase and Houdini!
