I've got a lovely 3yo available (Obie)!! Perfect, all-around gorgeous clydesdale x TB 16.2h gelding... Your perfectly started youngster to take any direction. Foxhunter on a budget? Dressage? Eventing or H/J... Obie is your guy. This guy is EASY! W/T/C, including cavaletti. Perfect mix of athleticism and quiet demeanor. Lovely natural rhythm and tempo to his gates. Goes on trail alone or with others... relaxed and brave. Easily goes through water, over branches, across ditches, etc... he has had a lot of exposure as a young horse! He even has been ridden around teams of working Amish horses in the fields without any issues! Excellent barn manners, including tying, bathing, grooming, trailering, etc. Golden retriever type personality. Loves people and will run to the gate when called. Happy and eager personality. Strong bone and build but light and lovely to the aids. Started very correctly, as he had a light start at 2 years old and then has been in regular professional training as a 3 year old. Responsive off the leg when asked, responsive to the seat, quiet and balanced in the transitions, light in the mouth. NOT pushed to go artificially round from the hand at this point in his training. While eagerly going over small xrails, jumping has not been a focus yet given his age. He will likely be a keen and lovely jumper in the future. Very correct training so far and a truly great young horse for any career direction. Don't miss out on this very special horse! Send me a DM for more info :)

Thank you!!

Is your child considering a professional riding/teaching/training career someday? If so, I need your help! As a parent (I am one as well!), supporting your child in their professional riding goals is exciting but often scary as well. Unfortunately, there are limited resources out there right now to....

For those in/near Ithaca: An incredible learning opportunity coming up with high performance groom and author, Cat Hill! I recommend attending if you can.

⭐ In fact, I learned great new things from her book (even after my own 5-star grooming experience) and I often buy her book for students as gifts.

My article for the The Plaid Horse was published this week! "5 Myths About Going Pro" for our future professional riders/trainers out there. I think it's so important for our industry to take a fresh look at what being a "professional" means, especially valuing the contributions of our grassroots pros. Let me know your thoughts/experiences in the comments!

By Emily Urban It’s time for a fresh take on what being a professional rider or trainer means. Income, life balance and more! Let’s bust these 5 myths.  Myth 1- You have to ride at the highest levels of your sport to go pro.  False, we need prepared, passionate trainers at all levels to suppor...

I'm beyond thrilled to have been selected for this young professionals award! Can't wait to take what I learn riding/training wise from Laura Ashley Dressage and bring it back to my students and take all the business insight and training that I will gain from Michelle LaBarre to grow my business and support other upcoming professionals in The Rising Equestrian Pro!

Unmounted lesson with Finger Lakes Pony Club... What do you think the topic was??

TACK CLEANING... every detail counts.

After riding and grooming for a lot of top riders in the US and Europe, I learned that everyone has a slightly different tack cleaning routine. But the main tack away?...

Top level turnout (including clean, safe tack) matters! 🦸‍♀️

Thank you Colleen at Healing Rein Farm for hosting!
