We are excited to announce that Jennie has officially been confirmed in foal to the beautiful Clydesdale stallion at Rohan Wood Stables! 🎉

A huge thank you to Alissa Cue and Dr. Paul Johnston for making this the easiest and most seamless breeding experience we could have asked for.

We can’t wait to meet this little one next year and see what this exciting cross has in store! Who doesn’t love a good clyde/TB cross ❤️

A big day for two of our students and two very special young horses! 🐴 ✨

Elaine and Judith loaded up Nugget (10 months old) and Phoebe (3 years old) and headed off property for the very first time at Murphy’s Stables to attend a clinic with Andrea Anderson.

Taking young horses to new places is about so much more than riding—it’s about building confidence, exposing them to new environments, and creating positive experiences. We couldn’t be prouder of how both youngsters handled the adventure, taking everything in stride and learning along the way. These are the moments that lay the foundation for future success.

A huge thank you to Andrea for sharing her knowledge and helping make this such a positive first outing. Thank you to Sue Lowe for organizing the clinic.

A pretty special milestone for our homebred Fiji HHS last night—her very first cross-country schooling! ✨

She was everything we hoped she would be: brave, confident, and already hunting for the jumps. No hesitation, no questions asked—just ears forward and ready for the next fence.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching a horse you bred grow into the athlete you dreamed they could be. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to start Fiji under saddle for her owner. It’s a privilege to be part of her journey from the very beginning, and even more special to be out having fun on the XC course with a young horse we bred. 🥹💕

The urge to quit.

I think people don’t talk about it often enough, but amateurs and professionals alike have all been there.

Those times when it feels like everything goes wrong.

You lose a horse. A horse gets hurt. The horse show goes terribly. Training feels stuck. Bills pile up.

You start questioning your goals, your decisions, and sometimes whether you’re even enjoying this in the first place.

From the outside, horse people often look incredibly resilient.

What I think is actually true is that most of us have simply had to make peace with the fact that horses will eventually break our hearts a little.

Things will go wrong, plans will change, progress will stall, there will be unenjoyable chapters …

There will absolutely be days where quitting sounds like the most rational option available.

But I think many equestrians can relate to the fact that our love of horses is not based in logic or rationality. It is woven so deeply into who we are that it becomes part of our identity.

So we learn not to make permanent decisions based on temporary frustration.

Instead, we take a breath, survive the rough patch, have a little cry, pay another vet bill, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

The urge to quit is probably a more normal part of the journey than most people admit.

Thankfully, so is finding a reason to keep going.
