What a great ending to our regular season shows at Waterloo Hunt Club. We had a smaller group this go round but these ladies did a FABULOUS job!

Aly and Swayze finished up their 1st level qualifiers for regionals and is now qualified for both medal seat semi-finals and 1st level! While doing that she also kept gaining expirence at second level AND now has all of her 1st and 2nd level scores towards her bronze medal 🙌

Carmel made her USDF PARA debut and absolutely knocked it out of the park! Scores started at 66% day one and she improved every ride ending the weekend with scores over 70%!! Her partner Toy, owned by Katie Hiller Rohe , is the most special guy ♥️ At 26, this guy is elastic, incredibly willing, and most importantly so careful. The future is very bright for this duo.

Sunday, Aly also had the opportunity/qualified to ride for the Ransom Memorial Equitation Trophy, which she won! Thank you Carrie Wilson for presenting. It made it even more special.

Wow! What a weekend. 7 horses from our team went to the ADA sanctioned schooling show at Centennial Acres Equestrian Center. Between everyone we ended up with 5 high percentage championships, 3 reserve champions, 13 1sts, 12 2nds, and many more! But best of all everyone had FUN. We have such a great group of riders, parents, teammates, and supporters. My heart is so full! ♥️

Well if this isnt the sign of a successful day, i'm not quite sure what is ♥️

I have an in-program family looking for their next horse! Safe, Safe, Safe. Good riding family, but we are hoping to serve 3 generations! Ideally looking for something with a change as Mom would like to continue learning and be able to compete, eventually. Sound, with age appropriate maintenence welcomed. 15.0 h +, sorry no ponies at this time.

Here is the kicker- this would ideally be an onsite care lease. Great opportunity for an older horse to take a step down from higher intensity work, or a place to keep your horse working while away/college/life changes.

Please PM with any interest or questions!

Another horse show weekend in the books! This time a GMO hosted local schooling show at the beautiful Hampton Green Farm. We took a full trailer of Junior and Young rider combinations and had 2 of our off site clients meet us there! Highlights!

Melissa Negahban and Fontaine made their 1st level debut including scoring a 68+% their 1st time out! Melissa has totally changed Fontaines posture and way of going in the past year, for the better, and it is really paying off!

Elise Butler and Teddy also made their 1st level debut! Teddy was so confident at this show- a far cry from the horse exiting at 'A' just a few years ago. With Elises piloting the team earned a 64+%! It so great to see Teddy loving his dressage career ❤️

Carmel and Toy made their showing debut! While professor Toy was a bit excited and thrilled to be out and about again he really listened and dialed in on show day- With the help of Carmels piloting earned a 70% in both of their para tests!

Abby Banninga and Sulley made their 1st trips down the centerline this season! After some mistakes the 1st test they came back stronger and raised their score by over 3% on Training 3!

Ava Brown and Dude made their 2nd level debut! Ava tactfully piloted dude down the centerline for both 2-1 and 2-3 and had a highlight score of 65%!

Aly Meyering and Swayze also made their 2nd level debut! Neither Aly nor Swayze have shown at this level so this was a big weekend! Both stepped up to the plate and with a few green mistakes still earned 62+%!

I could not be more proud of all of these incredible ladies! Such a fun group to be around and show with-

Time for 1 weekend off and then onward to NDPC!

Home and back in the swing of things after our 1st show of the season. It was a fun and successful outing for all involved. Highlights!

- Whitney and Della officially have completed their 2nd level scores towards their bronze! From the 1st test of the weekend to the last they improved their scores over 6%, continuing to show improvement in taking the quality from the warm up into the show ring.

- Aly Meyering took my little 'Golden Gremlin' Swayze out for his 1st trip to Waterloo. She piloted him in such a composed and profesional way that gave him confidence for the entire weekend. Going around in equitation classes Aly earned herself 76% AND an 83%. And is now qualified for Medal Seat Semi Finals at regionals.

- I knocked the dust off my showing skills this weekend too, and set out for scores that would be needed if I decide to persure my 'r' in the future. Aboard the lovely 'Prata', this weekend was nothing short of amazing. Helping me achieve a 69+% at 4-, he was an absolute gentleman and Rockstar ❤️

Thank you Laurie Moore and Katie Snowdin for being my eyes on the ground this weekend. And Katie Hiller Rohe for all of the help in the last few months getting us into a place that these scores would be possible.
