IEA TEAM UPDATE
We are excited about 2020 and have some exciting things planned! The Memphis Youth Equestrian IEA Team has had a successful and BUSY November! Our first in-barn scrimmage with Rhodes College was a great success. We have traveled to three shows now, two in Middle TN, and one in Jackson, MS. Our team and parents had a wonderful time and brought home MANY TRICOLORS and BLUES! We are so proud of everyone already. We're off to Murfreesboro Dec 15th and can't wait. BTW, we are still recruiting new team members and have several traveling for their first show with us this month! We are excited about our growing group and awesome program. It is never too late to join us. We are knee deep in show season, but we are more than showing and have year-round activities and events to participate in.

HARVEST TIME UPDATE
Coach Leslie had a great show with her crew at the WTHJA Harvest Time A Show! Sofie Herbstrith and Dusty were Champion in the USHJA 2'3 Hunters and Sarah Moran and Ozzie, and Haley Lathum and Ace got great ribbons as well. Way to go Meadowthorpe Farm Barn Team!

6-10-2019 Old Horses, Rescue Horses, OTTB Rehab Horses, and  a "Hony" (in between pony and horse)- excel at the 2019 Germantown Charity Horse Show!
Congratulations to Coach Leslie and her crew on a great job at the Germantown Charity Horse Show! We are so proud to have this amazing Coach, talented riders, & supportive parents!!! You all represent what this farm stands for! Most important, you demonstrate a genuine love for horses & put their care & welfare first! The good ribbons rock, but the real success isn't "beating" other competitors. It's excelling with the horses you ladies love, believe in, & MADE! Demonstrating that rescue horses, old horses, off the track Thoroughbred's (ottb's) pulled out of rice fields, small horses in between pony & horse (NOT a single warmblood btw) CAN compete, hold their own, & be a force to be reckoned with at a AA Horse Show like the Germantown Charity Horse Show This sport CAN be done the way we do it! Here is the proof! (see Photos and Videos below.)
