The team from Illinois State University is looking great for their last regular season shows and regionals this weekend! They’ve worked hard all year and it shows!

Miss Remi has already been proving herself to be a great addition to the lesson program! She’s super smart and willing and I can’t wait to see how she keeps coming along.

So proud of this team this weekend! It’s my second year as the coach for ISU and their hard work paid off! One student has already pointed out of their division, we had multiple top 3 placings in some tough classes too. This group is such a joy to coach and I’m so thankful to be back! Thanks Black Hawk College for hosting and to everyone who provided all of the incredible horses. Can’t wait for the next one!

In our program I’m always looking to improve the horses and continue to grow as a rider so I can share more with the students! I have a lot of respect for dressage but couldn’t tell you the first thing about doing it. This weekend I tried something new and went to a dressage clinic taught by Ken Borden. Last minute I decided to bring Halo instead of one of my older, more broke horses and her and I both learned so much! You’ll see her biggest struggle is accepting contact on the bit and holding collection, but when she gets it, I think she looks pretty cool. She will be making her way to a western dressage show or two this year.

Halo is slowly starting to step up into a lesson horse role! I’ll be making an intro post for her soon so be on the lookout for that! She can be a challenging ride so very proud of this student and how they worked together tonight! Halo is on the green side but is progressing nicely!

My first year of coaching for Illinois State University has come to a close. And what a great weekend to wrap up the year! 4th place in the region and so many great rides. This team worked so hard this year and their improvements continued to show throughout the season, we saw such huge improvements in their riding and in their score sheets. It was such an honor to be their coach and I’m already looking forward to next year.

Thank you to Black Hawk College Equestrian Program for hosting!

Super proud of our sweet Jazzy this weekend! She got to go to college! Jazzy participated in her first IHSA horsemanship show and handled it so well. For those who don’t know how the IHSA shows are run it is off of a random draw for horses, and you don’t get to practice on them ahead of time, you draw a horse and have to go show and in this case ride a pattern on a new horse. Over the course of the weekend she had 10 riders that never met her before ride her, and did 5 different patterns. She was quiet and levelheaded through it all which I would have never thought this horse would be able to do something like this, especially coming off of a 3 day barrel race last weekend. It was a mental challenge for her for sure but I’m so happy with how she did! She had a few minor things to work out but overall such a great experience!

Happy 3rd birthday to Painted Ha-Lo Ranch! We signed the lease 3 years ago yesterday. Living out a childhood dream has been such a blessing even though it’s a lot of work and sometimes a lot of stress. We have changed and grown so much since starting and I’m thankful for our wonderful boarders, lesson students, and everyone else who has been part of this journey. I’ll have to put all the pictures side by side so you can see the changes to our family through the years!

This weekend was the start of the IHSA Western season! So proud of the team from Illinois State University for placing in every class they were in this weekend! We learned a lot and have a lot to work on but it was an amazing start to the year. I can’t wait to watch the team grow and improve throughout the season. And thank you so much to Black Hawk College Equestrian Program for hosting a great show with great horses. I graduated from the school in 2018 and it felt great to be back.

This horse has been a personal project for years and one of the two horses the farm is named after! We’ve had a rough start but she is finally starting to come along nicely! I am currently offering off-site lessons so I can come to you! I am insured to teach at any facility I go to so PM me if you need some help with your own horse in the comfort of your own arena!
