Today May 9th 2026 my fiancé and I will be patting ourselves on the back. Back in 2022 I went public with my training program in the back yard of my parents house after forcibly selling the home I bought at 21 years old. A year ago today we signed the papers to purchase something some horse people only dream about!
It has been my life’s dream since I was atleast 7 years old to run a facility of my own. A year ago today I got that. I now own and operate a facility with a dozen or more horses.
Most days it is just my fiancé and I. He works full time teaching math, and the barn along side me at the end of his day teaching. It is just us. Friends, family, and some clients help around when they can or see we need it and we are so very thankful for them.
It has been a tough road, from unexpected bills-a major EHV outbreak in the country-a drought that brought a horrible hay crop for us horse people-hay, gas, and feed pricing sky rocketing over this past year.
However we have made so many connections with amazing horses and clients.
I was forced to step away from my training program the beginning of winter. This first year had just become so overwhelming. Being frank, it is all terribly overwhelming. But I know it all comes with that cost.
I spent my whole life working in boarding facilities, managing finances, managing breeding programs, lesson programs, feed arrangements, orders, jump riding training horses for trainers, and investing in my own riding, you name it I have done it.
No matter what the future may bring, I never get to look back and say I never did it! Because I DID IT!
Forever my dream! JC Horsemanship LLC
