If there is one thing other than blood sweat and tears (and an amazing horse) that can elevate your riding it is having the right saddle. Voltaire Design USA & Canada saddles and the amazing support from their skilled saddle experts have had a huge impact on my riding. I can’t say enough about how important it is to be in the right saddle for both the horse and the rider and Voltaire Design is the very best experience I have ever had at addressing both.
Who else hates winter blankets?! Here’s Kelley’s no-fail folding format for getting them to hang up nicely & keep everything neat and tidy!
No Thrush Hoof Powder from Four Oaks Farm Products will change the way you treat thrush. We use is every single day in our barn, especially during those wet fall and spring months. It could not be easier to apply and is much less mess than any other product you might use. I also like the idea that the product is 100% natural and safe. Over and over again is has helped horses with thrushy soles/frogs and sore center heel sulcuses. A light dusting when you pick out feet can help with the prevention of thrush on horses that are prone to it as well.
We are so excited to announce our newest sponsorship through Toklat Originals with Royal Rider Stirrups Italy ! It’s surprising how many interesting options there are nowadays, where stirrups are concerned! We’ve been test-riding them all this week (they are so new they are not even on the Toklat website yet but we will let you know as soon as they are available!) and look forward to sharing a bit about each of these stirrups so you can see what #RoyalRider stirrups has to offer you!
No major changes to the schedule ….see you all Saturday!
For anyone who has not been to Covered Bridge Farm before the address is 2435 Duvall Rd, Woodbine, MD. You will pull in to the main driveway and take almost an immediate right towards the indoor ring. There is a small gravel lot to the left before you get to the outdoor ring that we should try to efficiently park as many trailers on as possible. Overflow is on the grass beside that lot just along the driveway. Ideally we will just keep to the paved areas as much as possible! Thanks so much!!!
Please be sure to clean up after yourself and you horses in the parking area. There is a muck tub at the gate to the outdoor ring should you need it.
There is not water available on the grounds so please be sure to bring what you need!
***I need new release forms for everyone for 2023 if you have not signed them already.

What a perfect way to wrap up the fall season! Congratulations to Margaret and Stilts! We think the wine glass is the perfect prize for braving the cold and windy weather on Sunday!
11/13: PVDA Fall USDF Show (Upper Marlboro, MD)
We had a great weekend between the MDHT Starter Horse Trials and the Virginia Horse Trials. Well done to the whole team and everyone behind the scenes who helped. Check out our fun mashup video below!
11/5-6: MDHT Starter Horse Trials (Adamstown, MD)
11/3-6: The Virginia Horse Trials International (Lexington, VA)
All in all it was a lovely weekend with everyone finishing top-5! Freyja will be heading off to her first “big” show at the Virginia HT so Waredaca’s combined test was the perfect prep run! This was quite the cap to the season for Ashley and Lux, it’s so nice to see their long-time partnership only getting stronger! Claire and her lovely new horse had a solid run at only their second show together and Katie capped off her and Jax’s ‘reunion tour’ with a solid run at Training. And April & Aurora (also in the video) had a great time at their first HT of the year after spending the year in the jumper ring!
10/29: Waredaca Fall Starter Event (Laytonsville, MD)
10/30: Full Moon Farm Horse Trials (Finksburg, MD)
