We are so excited she’s here! I want to say big thank you to jamie_lawrence_dressage for sharing her very special and talented horse with my student, remy716l. A lease on a horse like this is an opportunity of a lifetime! We don’t deserve what these wonderful horses do for us and how willingly they try their giant hearts out, and this mare is no exception. Parole is one special queen!

It was the week of the three year olds! Willis was started under saddle and attended his first show, with much appreciation to Lacey Hranicka for showing him in hand. She did a fantastic job, and he took everything in stride like a seasoned horse. Happy also went to his first show, showing off his fantastic brain and fancy self. He is going to make some lucky person one heck of a horse! Cara Luckey Aspatore piloted him, and thanks to her for bringing him along the last few months and continuing to do such a great job with him. I’m so proud of these young boys and can’t wait to see what the next couple of months brings!

Congratulations to the team for a very successful show! Thanks to Epona Enterprises, LLC and Windenoak Equestrian Center for putting on a fantastic show so close to home. It was a weekend of many firsts - Jessica A. Kaczmarek and Cal debuted at I-2, Nicole Trapp and Phantom at I-1, and Josie French and Raymond at PSG. Lynne Schramer and Logan successfully completed their century ride together and earned Lynne’s final score for her masters! Julie Opel and G; Sarah Springborn and Eros; Cara Luckey Aspatore and Noah; Becky Hintz and Navarro; and honorary member Jolene and Crusin Ta Caiman, (that we enjoyed getting to know) all had great rides as well. Everyone was so supportive of each other and truly made our entire group a wonderful team. I’m so proud of each of you!

I’ve been very lucky to have the opportunity to work with such a talented and promising young Friesian all summer. I’m so excited to now be passing on the reins to Cara, and I can’t wait to see her take him up the levels. Shelley Kelnhofer Scott Kelnhofer
