Congratulations to all of our students who competed at IEA HT last weekend! Everyone reached new goals!  The Novice division was extremely challenging with many cross country eliminations and falls. Not our team! They all knuckled down and tackled that cross country course! HELMET CAM of IEA Novice HT that our fabulous team tackled last weekend! Fence #4 & Fence #9 were the bogy fences. #9 was removed half way thru due to so many rider falls....

Each week in June we will be offering summer camp. Our first week of summer camp is in full swing. All of our new budding equestrians are having a great time and learning lots! We are thankful for this weeks mild weather. Camps are almost full, but there is still time to SIGN UP for the remaining camps.

Spring Run HT is this weekend (06/08-06/10). Always a fantastic well run event with one the best competitor parties around. Since it is right down the street in Prospect, it is a great event to come out support the team  as well as spend a a great weekend outdoors.

Next is Flying Cross MHT on 06/17. Again another close fun event right in our back yard. This is the 2nd event in the 42 Fleur De Lis Mini Trial series. Our students well on their way to winning the High Point trophy!

Spring Bay & On!

CONGRATULATIONS to Jacki Lemastus amazing ride at Spring Bay this past weekend! It was her move up to Training and she ROCKED it finishing 5th! Way to go Jackie!! We are all so proud of you and your accomplishments!

We've all had time off in winter and as the season kicks in it brings into question rider and horse fitness. This is a great article to help us all gauge if we are ready for our season's challenges: RIDE FITNESS


So excited to for all of our students ready to ROCK IT in 2012!

Stone Place Dressage

We never like to ride when the weather is cold. Most of the time I just want to stay in by the fire place. However these little extra shows where we take the time to practice the parts of the event really pay off at the events. Riding at home is NEVER the same as riding in the show. Most people only perform to 30% of their ability under pressure. Imagine how good the best riders are at home! So putting your self under pressure at these small shows in the off season will always pay off with big rewards later. Some of the best competitors I know I started to put under pressure at a very young age. Now they have no trouble with pressures in the warm up arenas, changes of schedules etc. And most importantly they handle life pressures with a lot less anxiety! I'm proud of Jackie Lemastus today for putting herself out there even though it is not the ideal situation and NOT her favorite phase! Anything you do today is a win!

Goal party

Congratulations to Kaitlyn Samuels and Jackie Lemastus on receiving the Team Ariatti sportsmanship 2011 sportsmanship award. We love your team spirit!
