After a few successful outings and much confidence gained, we decided it was time to try first level with Enzo. Not only did he handle the jump up beautifully, he made his debut at the level with a 69+% and a first place ribbon! Sunday brought a LOT of rain and mud,...
Was our grand adventure a whirlwind 1200-mile trip to go pick up a new horse? Of course it was! We’re super excited to welcome Amy Robinson Hanney’s new project, Harmonie TOF! Many thanks to Idora Eisenhart for allowing us to bring this darling...
And in a super fun change of pace, we spent the day at the Lone Tree Stables Summer Derby! Addie went to Ride A Stride Performance Horses LLC in early March to be started under saddle, and Ian O Connor has been doing an absolutely fabulous job bringing her along. When...
Winslow Photography LLC got so many amazing photos at National Dressage Pony Cup that we had to buy them all! Here are a couple dozen of our favorites! 😁 Endless thanks to Katie Foster of CanterWorks Dressage, LLC for helping him look so...
We’re finally settling back in after a whirlwind trip to National Dressage Pony Cup! For only his third dressage show, Enzo handled the massive venue like a champ, putting in his most rideable tests yet with scores to 67%+ thanks to Katie’s expert...
We sent Addie off to be started under saddle at the end of March, and then promptly got busy preparing for the wedding and hadn’t been up to see her since. With a long weekend for the holiday, we FINALLY had a chance to go check out her progress for ourselves,...
As soon as the first Waterloo show was over, Enzo was signed right back up for the next to keep gaining exposure and experience in the ring. And with exactly two rides under her belt since wrist surgery, Amy decided to sign George up as well to get in on the...
After the clinic with Olivia, Katie gave the green light to sign Enzo up for Waterloo. We were all in agreement that while he’d probably be a bit overloaded in a show environment, the only way that was going to get better would be by going to shows, and there...
When Katie asked if she could ride Enzo at her clinic with Olivia LaGoy-Weltz, we couldn’t say yes fast enough! After a tough first day working on shoulder control, day two provided the perfect opportunity to head outside for the first time all season and go for...
When the weather turns frozen, things always tend to revolve more on survival mode around the farm and some downtime for the horses, and a bit less on training and productivity. We knew heading into this winter that thought was going to be taken to the extreme, as the...
We’re excited to announce that last week’s arrival was none other than Flamboyance of Genesis, a lovely mare sired by the Gold Classified Alfa of Genesis, and out of the Gold Classified performance horse, Faith by Fire...
Since we moved here in 2019, redoing the footing in the indoor had been on the list of things to do. It was worn out and very unstable underfoot. But the outdoor was the first priority, and then a number of other projects, and so this got pushed back on the priority...
George was a bit confused about why he was getting all spiffed up and braided….at home. But with such outstanding results from the 2022 AHA International Haflinger Celebration Virtual Show, we had to schedule a photo shoot with all of his big ribbons! Congrats...
When the day for the photo shoot with the giant ribbons is also the windiest day of the year, you’re very grateful for a quiet three-year-old! We did finally manage one good one! Congrats to Heidie HTE – 1st Place – 3 & ↓ Mares, Champion Mare, and...
After a late start to the show season and only two shows done, Amy and George didn’t want to be done already! So, with plenty of encouragement, they signed up for the open show at Regionals. Despite the craziness that is Regionals, GIANT classes, and tough...
Amy and George headed back to Waterloo this weekend to gain some more experience in the ring, and also to excitedly show with Katie’s group for the first time (since they weren’t at the last show). Great fun was had all around, with some shenanigans in the...
