Our Davis Ranch LLC Fall Show was a success! 🍂❄️ Winter may have crashed the party, but our horses and riders still showed up and showed out!

Next stop: down the mountain for BRHJA!

Fall leaves are changing and weather is perfect for a day of lessons ☺️🍁

Alice was riding so well and Mercedes was feeling SO happy in her lesson that we decided… why not pop over something little and see how it goes? 🤍

Mercedes first jump in probably 5+ years, after wondering just a few months ago if she’d be sound enough to keep working at all. So unbelievably happy to see this old girl still loving her job & Alice gave her the perfect ride! 🫶🏼

Extra special remembering Mercedes packing 10 year old Reily over some of her very first jumps too, many years ago🥹

A double trouble weekend with gaming on Friday & hunters on Saturday! 🤩

We were grateful for some beautiful weather this weekend at the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) Open Show and had some great rides across the board!

Addie Hunold and Get Real “Bugg” had a true “firsts” weekend! Their very first show as a pair, Addie’s first show in many years, and Bugg’s first show since joining our crew. They finished Reserve Champion in the adult flat division (still counting points in our minds for Champion 🤪), but we are thrilled with the results regardless!

Keep an eye on these two… that Davis Ranch 2026 buckle is looking pretty interesting 👀

Alice Robinson and Red De Eyes On “Rhett” got back into the youth flat ring after some time away and did fabulous in a competitive class of 18 riders. They’ve been working hard behind the scenes and put out some great rides, just missing the ribbons, but came home with a 3rd in youth showmanship! Arguably Abby’s favorite class 🤭

Leilah Ortiz and Above The Cloudline “Nimbus” snuck into their first show together while his rider was out sick (we missed you, Summer!!). They rocked & rolled in showmanship and the flat classes, earning two seconds, and came home with a blue ribbon in the 18” fences out of 18 riders!

Congrats everyone!

Assistant Trainer Abby Callahan and her crew of cowgirls spent their Friday night right at the Davis Ranch LLC performance show 🤠

Speed was had and memories made for most of these girls first times out on the pattern 💪

🍂🐴 Our LAST After School Riding Program of 2026 is coming up, and we only have 4 spots left!

We’re heading into fall with Tuesdays full of horses, riding, learning, and plenty of fun! Riders will spend time in the saddle each week while also getting hands on with horsemanship activities, horse care, games, and their very own program workbook to keep the learning going outside of the arena.

Whether your rider is brand new or has been riding with us all year, this session is all about building confidence, learning more about horses, and having a whole lot of fun along the way!

📅 Tuesdays | September 29th - December 8th
🍁 No program during Thanksgiving week

All the details, pricing, schedule, and registration information are linked here👇🏼

Abby & Blue giving the clients a show during our morning grid lesson, testing Blue over some bigger fences. This guy is so cool! 😎

What a weekend! We stepped into our first rated show as a farm, with several riders also making their rated-show debuts, at the PSJ Summer Sizzler II in Aiken!

Our two geldings, Above The Cloudline and Out Of The Blue, had a fantastic three days putting in their first Pre-Green miles, while our riders took on their Long Stirrup debuts!

FRIDAY

Above The Cloudline, ridden by Head Trainer Reily, tied for Champion in the Pre-Green division and finished Reserve Champion!

Out Of The Blue, ridden by Assistant Trainer Abby Callahan, was right behind him, narrowly missing the Reserve title. The boys finished 1st and 2nd in the Pre-Green flat among a beautiful group of horses. Thrilled is an understatement!

SATURDAY

Abby and Out Of The Blue returned to the Pre-Green division and earned Champion in the class. While the division unfortunately did not fill, it was a great schooling opportunity and another chance to show just how much potential Blue has.

In Long Stirrup:
• Summer Stark & Above The Cloudline — 1st Hunter Flat, 4th & 5th over fences
• Leilah Ortiz & Out Of The Blue — 3rd Hunter Flat, 2nd Equitation O/F, 3rd & 4th Hunter O/F

SUNDAY

Summer and Above The Cloudline kept the momentum going with another 1st in the Hunter Flat and 3rd & 4th over fences, finishing Reserve Champion in the Long Stirrup Hunter division!

Leilah and Out Of The Blue added a 4th in the Hunter Flat and 2nd & 4th over fences to round out their weekend.

It was a huge weekend of learning, firsts, and progress for this group. Summer has only jumped fences at two shows EVER, while Leilah brought her green horse to his very first rated show!

We could not be more proud of all of them and these two special geldings. We learned a ton, made some great memories, and have plenty to build on heading into the fall season.

Now, onto finishing out 2026 strong and getting ready to chase those 2027 points! 💪🏼
