We are always trying to continue our education to help us be the best we can for our horse and human clients! This week that involved attending a seminar surrounding tips to avoid burnout! Thanks to Kentucky Equine Businesswomen for hosting such a great event!

Odessa (by Cantavos and out of a Popeye K mare) is a flashy, kind, correct 2019 hunter mare standing at 16.1h. If you are looking for a partner who will snuggle in the barn and put in just the right amount of effort in the ring, Odessa is your girl! She was started at 3 before having 2 foals the last few years and then has been brought back into work by a professional this past winter. She is absolutely thriving while showing unlimited potential for the hunter ring! She jumped her first jumps in January of this year, marched around the .60m jumpers and 2' future hunters at WEC in March and has now made her baby green debut successfully at Kentucky Spring Classic this year and through the summer! She has schooled up to 3'3"+ with tons of scope for more! This horse makes everything feel so easy! Every challenge she is presented with she takes in stride and continues to impress! She has her changes both directions (still a little green at times, but continuing to improve and will soon be very easy), as well as gaits and a jump to die for! Jumps a 10 every time from every distance, happy to slow down for the add or has an easy canter to get down the lines in the step. Also hacks out alone or with friends and loves to have a nice hack in the field! I could go on and on about how much fun she is! While Odessa is happy to tolerate mistakes from her rider and would be great for a kid or adult to grow with! She would be a great fit for an amateur in a program where she is still able to get regular training rides to continue bringing her along.

Located on the north side of Lexington about 10 minutes from KHP

One unfortunate rail and a time fault on a very quick time allowed kept Lauren and Molly out of top placings today, but a great round for these two at the show today! Looking forward to another tomorrow!

We want to extend a warm welcome to Aly and Celeste! So excited to have these two in the barn and help them grow as a team!

While Odessa is happy to tolerate mistakes from her rider she is not quite ready for a total beginner and can get frustrated if she feels she is being punished for her rider's mistakes or a rider is balancing on her mouth, but when her rider is trying she matches that effort and is happy to help! She would be a great fit for an amateur in a program or a kid coming off a pony where she is still able to get regular training rides to continue bringing her along. Plenty of video and additional photos available!
