Making Memories Monday

Psalms 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

I LOVE being in the mountains- the amazing views, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and clean air is so refreshing and helps reset my focus and re-connect me with the Artist who provides it all. I just returned from a weekend at Grayson Highlands with great friends and beautiful weather. 14 years and counting (Lord willing) of riding with Jay and I count each trip as an adventure and a blessing!

I love taking photos of show kids because it's so much fun to watch them grow over the years!! This is Raylan showing her horse, PJ. I also did a photo shoot with her this past fall that was a blast!

📸Show Photo Time📸
The Balanced Equestrian team attended the Steeple Hill Farm dressage show last weekend. There were too many beautiful moments to mention but a few highlights were a 9 freewalk for Amelia Earhart, Sassy Frassy winning basic level in the WD at her first dressage show, Chief and Maggie's first show together, and 💥Emily Kemper and Breezy receiving high score english of the day!!!💥 I couldn't be any happier with these animals and riders.🥳 This stuff takes hard work and dedication and the fruit of their labor is coming out.

All 4 of the shod horses in these photos are blessed to have Dan Kurtz as their farrier. More than just protecting the hoof, his efforts within podiatry help their overall balance in posture and locomotion. I'm thankful that he is always open to collaboration and trying new things to help our athletes.

We are also thankful to Rejuv a horse for their massage👐 work on our horses and Triad Performance PEMF, LLC for their services!

It takes a village! 🤎

Meet Poppa! 🐴
Poppa is a geriatric gelding that I first met in December. He is also unfortunately a chronic laminitis case. He seems to have foundered last Spring and received limited hoofcare while with a previous owner. He now has a wonderful family that loves him and works diligently to care for him. Pictured here is his right fore hoof in December 2021and April 2022. I am not claiming perfection in the trim or in his current hoof health but I think that he is a great example of what having a strong owner, veterinarian, and farrier team can accomplish in a short time. 😁

We had a full but very productive weekend! Amongst our normal training we had Shelby Friml of Double Diamond Equine out to do saddle fit checks. We can't thank her enough for keeping us and the equines comfy during rides. Also Rejuv a horse was out for massages! As always, huge thanks to Newberry Creek Farms for allowing us the use of their facility and their quality equine care and management. It takes a village to develop balanced equine athletes so I feel so blesses to have all of these people on our team!😁

Noelle and I cannot thank Versatile Equine of Delta, CO, enough for their hospitality. The “Internal Horsemanship External Performance” clinic was a blast. I signed up for this clinic as an opportunity for continued education, but I had no idea how much it would effect me inside and out. We learned so many new exercises to work on our internal selves even when the horse isn’t around. Let’s be honest… Most of the time we are the problem anyways.🤣 Then we saddled up and developed more skills to help our equine friends from the saddle. I wish we were able to capture even more memories but here are a few pics that we did manage to get.
Sophia and Daniel Harris own Versatile Equine. Daniel is a third generation horse trainer with a passion for starting youngsters and has competed in everything from ranch versatility to polocrosse. Sophia has competed in both english and western worlds earning multiple world championships. She is a USDF Bronze medalist and professional massage therapist holding certifications through the Masterson Method. We could not be any happier to have spent time and learned from both of them.😁

Sending a huge THANK YOU🗣 to our friends at Newberry Creek Farms for helping us take excellent care of our animals! This young mule is growing at a fast rate and was having trouble holding weight. At Newberry he blossomed🌹 while also in training!😍
