🏔️ The countdown to Mountain Trail Nationals is on—9 weeks to go! 🐴

I’ll be sharing memories from years of showing my Fell ponies in Mountain Trail, from beginner through advanced, in-hand and ridden. My favorite moments aren’t just the obstacles or ribbons—they’re watching friends discover the sport, build confidence, and connect with the Fells.

As we prepare, we’ll be training on the open course at the Oregon Horse Center. Please support this wonderful facility by booking hourly sessions whenever possible. The more reservations they receive, the longer the course can remain open for everyone.

Want to learn more about Mountain Trail or Fell ponies? Follow along, ask questions, and cheer us on as we head to Nationals!

Nine weeks to train, prepare, and revisit the memories along the way.

Farrier day and some new tack decisions.

I have nothing for my sweet & gentle girl, Bybeck Victoria, as she’s cob size, not horse size, like Istas, and they all get Istas’ hand-me-downs.

A new side pull by Lux. Patent leather & some black bling. And another browband that’s gold. Really striking and well fitting, thoughtfully designed and padded.

And trying a new model of DP. Excuse the hot pink lead, we were just trying it for a short ride. And I worked last night. I could ride Istas with yarn. Love it but am thinking on it.

I am in search of a scaled back multi purpose saddle. More English in style. This has Spanish or baroque flare. I love the mono flap and it’s so insanely light. And adjustable.
