Trevor and Brenda made another run at PSG for their All Breeds scores and had another successful show with a 64.559% and a 61.029 and a 1st and 2nd place in their classes.

Maya also had her very first show with Dandy! Dandy and Maya knocked it out of the park in their Training Level Test 3. They earned an awesome 69.8% and a […] Continue Reading
First show of the year is done for us. It was a quiet one with Brenda taking out Julie’s Nova at 2nd and 3rd levels to gather some scores for championship qualifications and get some more show miles for him. He has been lightly shown and so is still getting used to the whole being a show horse thing. They […] Continue Reading

Brenda and Nova went out at 3rd level again to wrack up more show miles for this boy. Asking for relaxation and not pushing for flash, Brenda and Nova ended up with two 1st […] Continue Reading

Congratulations Brenda, Julie and […] Continue Reading

Nova joined our program as a new horse for Julie last year and he’s quite the impressive guy. […] Continue Reading

Kelly and Tamale tried their hooves at 2nd Level Test 3. The first test Tamale showed too much tension in the walk again and didn’t quite get the job done. […] Continue Reading
