Jenn & Biarritz at HITS Post Time Farm

Jenn & Biarritz all smiles last week. 🤗 We are back at our home base @hitshorseshows gearing up for our first circuit week here next week.

Claire de Lune at World Equestrian Center – Ocala

Luna had another great week with solid rounds in the 3’ Greens and placed🥈in a very competitive under saddle out of 27. How pretty is this special girl, Claire de Lune?

Jenn’s Signature Tip

Jenn’s Signature Tip💡Using a simple gymnastic is a great way to get your horse engaged mentally and physically gearing up for the circuit.

For our ring this week, we set up a very easy canter in one stride to one stride. We used all verticals to keep things inviting and confidence building for the greener horses and for horses who might be a little insecure in their skills. ✅ Build up to make this excerise more technical for your horse as they become slow and confident.💪🏻

Debut in the Large Pony Hunters

Grier had a fantastic (but wet 🌧️) debut in the Large Pony Hunters last week with both her new ponies, Viktory Road 🏆 & Universal Sound 🔈. We are so excited for 2024 with Grier & these two handsome guys.👏🏻
