We are ending out 2025 with a new member joining the crew! Sully comes to us from our friends at Sweetwater Pony Club Riding Center and we are so thrilled to report he is doing well and and making two and four legged friends 😁 Check out his one career win as a racehorse- we lucked out that this was the only one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhSetKJE9WM

Hunter Pace with the Santa Fe Hunt was a huge success! Team Horsemanship Academy brought home 1st place in the Junior Division, but by the end of the hour 15min ride through open range complete with jumps, varied terrain, and smiling faces we'd all but forgotten we were competing 😊 These last two excursions to ride with the hunt have really brought me back to the kind of riding I got to do as a teen, so I'm really ecstatic to get to share it with our USPC members 🤩 We're super grateful to Kristen, Jim, and Huntmaster Terry for arranging sweet little Maya(ridden by Emily) and steady-eddie Smoothy(ridden by Ariel) to fill out our team. We were stoked to see representation from Rainbow PC this time and to learn several members of the Hunt are USPC graduates themselves(all the way to A!)

So proud of the progress this clever little mare has made in just two months, and so humbled by the love, patience, and hard work our community has poured into her. Go Coda, go!
