• IEA Forms should be available the last week in June....they have been overhauling their policies and forms this year and apologize for the wait. We will communicate next steps to our team members and adults after July 4th to prepare for the Fall Show Season!
  
•  We're looking forward to the first EXEL Kickoff Schooling Show this weekend at the charity grounds! We'll have a great group participating in the Derby and many FUN classes at this show. Stay tuned....​
  

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.)

We had an amazing Youth Equestrian Team meeting April 17th and enjoyed meeting so many motivated kids and parents! We're going to have one heck of a Middle School and High School team and are made up of riders from all over the area and from all kinds of disciplines. We've got a barrel racer, eventers, carriage drivers, dressage riders, welsh pony riders, jumpers, and western riders on our team-all pumped about experiencing new adventures  and having fun learning and competing together. We're accepting riders still from 4th grade on up if you'd like to join in on the fun and experience horses affordably!
