There is something I deeply admire about my adult amateur ladies. 💙💜💙

They have careers. They have children. They have spouses, homes, endless responsibilities, and calendars that make my head spin.

And somehow… they still make room for the horses.

They squeeze in the barn before work. They come straight from the office. They rearrange schedules, find childcare, drive in after long days, and sometimes (often!) ride when they are already completely exhausted.

Not because they have unlimited time.

Because this matters to them.

This photo is one of my favorite reminders of that. A doctor, a full-time professional, a mom of two toddlers — and a horsewoman — carving out a little piece of the evening to do something that fills her cup. Just her, her horse, and a sunset.

Here’s to the women who have a million things on their plates — and still make time for their horses. 🥂🐴✨

The leaves are starting to turn and every morning smells like Fall 🍂
Which means Summer is officially over and ours was PACKED with incredible moments. So, time to share a few.

Huge congrats to Susan Wood and her boy, London, on their first full season. He earned Reserve Champion his last weekend in the WEC 2’!
Looking forward to more fun with this one and moving into the thoroughbred divisions next year 🤞

“Two feet move your body. Four feet move your soul”

Some days it’s hard to see the immense blessings, even when you’re surrounded by them. Some days everything feels a little too raw. Like ‘one more’ anything might make you throw in the towel.

But then a moment comes along: the endless hours of building trust pays off in blue, you get the opportunity to open doors for a hardworking kid in your barn, or you happen to find a quiet minute alone and listen to the horses eat dinner down the aisle.

And then it all floods back in. Endless gratitude that God gave you such beautiful animals to love and bring people together…what a gift.

A huge congratulations to these three on qualifying for OHJA Medal Finals! Everyone laid down beautiful trips ✨

Lauren Ensor and Park Avenblu GES made the top 3 spot in the Adult Medal! From rowdy yearling to stepping into his first finals and coming out with ribbons, was such a joyful moment to witness.

Brooke Pagnotto and Golden Hour showed off in true form, placing 9th out of a huge field of great horses and riders. So fun to see how this pair has developed over the last year!

Zoe Long and Another Story laid down a wonderful trip, just missing the call back. We are so excited for them to show off some more this upcoming week at the KHJA Medal Finals!

Congrats again, girls!!! Very proud of each of you!
