Congrats to all of our riders at the JKF horse show, this past month! We had a great time, wonderful rounds and came home with some pretty awesome ribbons!

Oaklynn and Pickles moved up a division to the beginners. Respectable rounds, great maneuvering in a flat class of many! Can’t wait to watch you two progress through this next endeavor.

Leia and Murphy Brown had respectable rounds, smiles along with always being in the top 3 throughout the day! These two have come so far in their new division this year in the beginners. We are so proud!

Carter and Fonzie ended up Reserve Champion in the beginner division. These two have had the best time together this summer and enjoying watching this team progress.

Holly and Jackson ended up Champion in the beginner division! These two have sprouted together as a team, and can’t wait for the next year with these two!

Addy and Rosie were Champion in the Pre-Beginner for their FIRST show together, EVER! After many doubts, long winter, and a consistent professional program to bring them along, they crossed off their number one goal and that was to show together! There wasn’t a single dry tear in our crew! We are so proud of Addy and your amazing unicorn Rosie!

Hannah and Murphy Brown entered the puddle jumpers, coming out in the top 2 solidly all day and Reserve Champion!! This pony is everything plus more than expected and always game for anything that was put in front of him!

Ashley and Cole ended up Champion in the 2’6 Specials! Cole you are truly one in a million! Watch out for this amazing boy in a few weeks in the $500 2’6 Hunter Derby at GMHA!

We can’t wait to get this boy in! Congrats to the Sheehan family on the lease of this beautiful boy Chrome! We are excited to watch this pair grow!

Our GMHA July 2026 Set Up!

07/16/2026

Wow, July GMHA was one for the books. Great new pairings, played in new rings, trainers dusting off 10 year hiatus, new attending horses. The weather was absolutely beautiful the entire week, our horses/riders were in the game. We want to thank our students, the parents, our grooms, barn manager at home for keeping the daily life going back at home and most importantly our great group of horses that we are beyond thankful for, show up with happy faces and ready to show!

💥Ryan and Cole played in a new ring to them and ended up in jumper land! They both had great times and bringing home a 4th in the Puddle Jumpers!!

💥Ashley entered the hunter ring with Cole, having top ribbons, great rounds and the best yet a great way to get back into showing after a “baby gap” was taken! Ryan thank you so much for letting myself use him and a great first showing together!

💥Lola attended her first horse show with owner/trainer Ashley/Mom,great learning experiences and ended well with placing 4th in the Hunter Model! This mare is a dream in the making and beyond proud of her!

💥Fonzie and Clementine had their first outing together, and had respectable ribbons in the Beginner Division.

💥Jackson and Holly were Champions in the Beginner Division, so much improvement with these two in such a small time!

💥Murphy Brown proved himself again how amazing of a pony he is! MB and Leia are new into the beginner land, and both of them have made quite a team together! They got respectable ribbons in their division.

💥Murphy Brown with trainer and mom Hannah Paradis stepped into jumper land after a 10 year hiatus, proved to be such a great little pony, they had great, fun rounds! We are all excited to watch this one develop in the next coming years!

💥Oaklynn and Murphy Brown were Champions of the pre-beginner division, and have successful going the beginner crew! Thank you Hannah for allowing us to catch ride such a true gentleman. Pickles during the show developed a skin irritation,after much consideration we chose as a team to let him rest, recover and come back strong!

Again, we wouldn’t be here today without our great team of ours!! Next stop Juniper Knoll on the 25th!
