This morning, Sophie (and Indy 🐶) took some of our kids (and Nina & David!) to Loch Moy for an “all about XC” experience! We took a lap around the whole training level course, where Sophie taught them how to walk strides, ride lines, and memorize routes. We got to see some of the riders go, demonstrating everything Sophie talked about in real time. It was great for the girls to see how different horse/rider combinations went around the course. Everyone walked away feeling inspired and excited (and with hot chocolate from Bob’s Grill!).
What an educational and FUN day! Stay tuned for more experiences like this one coming 🔜!

What a fun and educational unmounted session today with Sophie! The topic was “hoof care,” and a huge chunk of the lesson was focused on packing and wrapping. We talked about anatomy, shoeing, tools, materials… everything! Our students left with a greater understanding of the foot (and they also left with a bunch of colorful duct tape and vet wrap!). Thank you to everyone who came out to learn! It was a blast!
Special shoutout to Noah who was a SAINT and served as our practice horse! He stood there for over an hour, letting everyone mess around with his feet. Vienna made an appearance for the last few minutes as well, and also stood for the kids like the good girl she is! Our horses are amazing!
Missed this one? No worries! Stay tuned for October details!
