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!
STALL AVAILABILITY AND SALE/LEASE OPTIONS
We are making two potential spots available to a new boarder or two who enrolls in our regular weekly lesson program and who wants to attend shows and clinics with us. Minimum 1 lesson per week required for consideration. Contact Ashlee for information. ALSO, we have several Sale & Project horses and ponies available- some for purchase and some for in-barn lease options at the first of the year. Must take minimum of one weekly lesson for lease and boarding consideration. Horses range in size, scope, and experience! All are Nice Nice NICE! Contact Ashlee for details.
EVENTS, PARTIES, AND CORPORATE TRAINING'S
We are rolling out several new events in 2020 that will keep the farm buzzing with a variety of activity- more than just riding! Some of which include Corporate and Business Team Building Events, Women's Retreats, and Birthday Parties! Standby for more exciting announcements in this realm! We can't wait!
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!
Happy Birthday to Haley, Ace, and Anna....we celebrated in style with pony cake.! See video. Congratulations to Coach Leslie Gattuso and her crew on a successful 2018 Horse Show Season. The following awards were presented at Megford Horse Show Year End Awards:
