The horse that started it all in 1973!
Shawnee ❤️
Our strawberry roan Tenessee Walker x Arabian mare.
My older sister got her for her birthday when I was 4, then I got her for my 10th birthday. I had her for 17 years and did all types of horse events with her. ❤️
We raced cars down 320th in Federal Way, western gaming, dressage, jumping, eventing, western pleasure, and miles and miles on Vashon Island with friends.
She was special ❤️

This week’s Sunday Senior Spotlight goes to Julia Stewart!

-What is your major?

Animal Science (Equine Concentration)

-How long have you been involved with the Hadley Farm and in what capacity?

I have been working at the Hadley farm since sophomore year as well as taking classes, being a TA for multiple equine classes, and taking riding lessons at the Hadley Farm in the most recent years. I have also started a club called the Equitation Science Club .esc which recently became an official UMass RSO! 🥳

-What has been your favorite experience at the Hadley Farm?

My favorite experience has been taking riding lessons, as I have learned so much and learned a lot about training horses.

-What are your plans for after graduation?

My plans after graduation include working in the equine breeding field.

We’re so thankful to have Julia here for another semester, and she will be getting lots of repro experience this spring! 😉 She is pictured here with our coming 7 year old Cleveland Bay x Thoroughbred mare TBF Impending Indra.

TBF Winner's Court, affectionately known as Big Red, is my 1999 25% Cleveland Bay gelding. He is 26 this year and has been around kids for his entire life. When Red was born in 1999, my son, Colton Youngblood-Munsen, was 2 years old.
Here is red, 26 years later with my 2 year old grandson, Colton's oldest boy.
These memories will always be special to me. ❤️
