🌧️ Rain couldn't dampen the fun at the Jordan Riske Clinic yesterday at Honey Run Equestrian Easement ! 🐴

Despite a soggy start to the day, riders powered through the weather, learned a ton, and finished the clinic with big smiles and plenty of confidence.🎉

⭐ Lisa Lin shared:
"I had a great time in the saddle with Jordan. She worked with us as a group and individually when needed. She always had a smile on her face!"

⭐ Sarah DeMattio celebrated a major milestone with her horse Indy:
"My favorite part of the day was when Indy went over two of the biggest jumps we've ever done together on the first try with no hesitation."
Sarah said Jordan helped her focus on patience, waiting for the fence, and not letting Indy rush. Her favorite Honey Run jump? The skinny jump up the hill!

⭐ Amelia's rode in the BN group and her biggest takeaway was learning to keep her back tall when approaching fences. Her favorite Honey Run obstacle is the brown coop by the cat ears!

A huge thank you to Jordan Riske Eventing for spending the day with us, sharing her knowledge, and helping riders and horses build confidence. We are so grateful for her time, positivity, and expertise.

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and made it such a fantastic day! ☔🐎❤️

Congratulations to ALL our TEAM members who had fantastic rides this weekend at Revel Run Equestrian's USEA Horse Trials! 🎉🐴

🥈 Hannah Fountain & J.M.'s Parade finished 2nd in Training Open A out of 17 riders on a score of 38%. Hannah's goal was a confidence-building first outing of the season, and she came away thrilled with the result.

"I came in just wanting to have a confidence-boosting run and this weekend exceeded my expectations."

🥇 Deena Zaitounh & Tux took the win in Beginner Novice Rider on a 27.9%. Competing together for nearly 15 years, the pair once again showed the strength of their partnership.

"I'm most proud of the partnership Tux and I showed this weekend. After almost 15 years together, there's a level of trust and understanding that we have."

🥈 Breanne Palmerini & Ziggy earned 2nd place in Beginner Novice Rider, finishing on their dressage score of 29.5%. Breanne was especially proud of how far the pair has come together.

"I'm most proud of how far we've come and how great it feels when all the pieces come together."

All three riders also highlighted one of the best parts of competing at Revel Run, the people. From supportive volunteers and organizers to catching up with horse friends, the eventing community continues to make these weekends special.

While Jordan Riske Eventing is currently competing at the prestigious Bromont CCI4*-S in Quebec, Canada, she took a moment to share what makes this week so special:

"So we're at the Bromont CCI4* this week in Bromont, Quebec, Canada to run the 4*S. We were fortunate enough to receive the Bromont Rising Grant which means we get to do training sessions with Bettina Hoy throughout the week along with unmounted sessions with a group of amazing people like Peter Gray and Max Corcoran. This program is a great opportunity for the Under 25 riders to get a high level of knowledge from people in the sport who have so much experience and are willing to share their expertise in the craft! Liam and I are excited to be here for a fun week of training and competition!"

Jordan will be bringing that knowledge and experience back to Michigan for a clinic at Honey Run Sunday, June 14th—and there are still a few spots available!

💥 TEAM members can ride for just $35! 💥

Thanks to TEAM's support, we're subsidizing the clinic fee and waiving the Honey Run schooling fee, making this an incredible opportunity to ride with one of our area's top young professionals for the cost of schooling alone.

Whether you're looking to improve your flatwork, jumping, or overall horsemanship, this is a fantastic chance to learn from a rider actively competing and training at the upper levels of the sport.

📅 June 14
📍 Honey Run
💲 Just $35 for TEAM members

Don't miss out! Grab one of the remaining spots and join us for a great day of learning!
