Want to add more☀️to your life? Luckily we have an amazing mare available for lease! Kirin SCF is 2010 mare who is the WINNER at 1.00m and 1.10m. Lots of success with a Junior and recently been ridden by Amateur. Has been ridden by an adult rider at home recently so has not been to an A show, but was just shown at local schooling show in the 1.00m and ended champion/won the classic. Would prefer in barn lease but would be open to lease at an approved home. Asking $5k and contact Susan Walt (601-278-7563) if interested!

We have many special Thoroughbreds that attend ExEL, making this award quite competitive!
We love seeing our TB entries grow! At our March show our Derby TB Stake saw record entries.

Our TB Excellence Award is gifted to a TB who stands out in performance and adaptability. This March, that horse was Broadcast Legend!

Broadcast Legend is an ExEL favorite! He always shows up ready to tackle whatever task may come his way! One show he plays in the jumper ring, the next he's top of the class in the hunter ring! When he's given a goal by his mom, he performs! It's always a joy to have Broadcast Legend at ExEL!

Congrats to his owner, Jordan, for developing and being a vital part of his journey!

We look forward to seeing what they accomplish together next!

Exciting news, superstar Nickelodeon, “Nikko”, is looking for his next kid to show the ropes to! He is 15, large pony that is ideal for the Short Stirrup job. He is sweet, uncomplicated, and SO cute that comes out the same every day. PREFERRED in barn lease. Low 5-figures. If interested, call Susan Walt for more information and videos.

Very exciting news for Southern Traditions Farm to welcome new trainer Jennifer Olsen to the family!⭐️

Jennifer grew up in Connecticut and rode from a young age at her family’s Westbrook Hunt Club. She took over the riding responsibilities of breaking and developing young horses and sale horses from the age of 15 and turned professional at 21, after graduating from the University of Vermont. As a junior she showed in the equitation, hunters, and jumper rings competing at
indoors and finals, but brings to the industry a unique experience in young horse development. As a professional Jennifer has trained ponies and horses to Championships and major wins at Pony Finals, Junior Hunter Finals, Devon, Indoors and Equitation Finals ribbons. She has developed Smash, Farmore Charismatic (who won at Pony Finals), Sugarbrook Adorabelle (6th overall at pony finals and went on to be Champion at Devon), Ladies First (winner of WCHR 3’3 Junior Hunter Stake hunter week at WEF), Quateroy
(top 6 3’6 Junior Hunter Finals), Handsome DD (Classic winner at Junior Hunter Finals), and Spark of Phoenix (multiple Finals ribbons, top 25 at every final, multiple top 3 at Devon in the equitation). Jennifer has taught riders for 30 years from short stirrup to junior hunters, equitation finals, as well as through the jumper ranks, and is excited to share her knowledge and experience with our barn family!
