While it’s been a quieter start to the fall then normal, the #hablynhillseventteam had a fantastic event at this years @marlboroughhorsetrials starter event. @blondiejo finished on her dressage score with her new horse Smooth Sailing to finish 4th in the BN at their first event. Erica Anhalt also finished on her dressage score at her first event of 2026 with Sipping Champagne to finish 5th in the starter division. Lastly @jisavoye took a young horse Ishy to his first event and finished 6th in the starter division. I absolutely love this event, the event organizers and volunteers are fantastic and the cross country in definitely a hidden gem of area II. Looking forward to 2027 for my return to competing and of course we will have this event on the top of our list!

And apparently, we decided matching was important today because the Elite Bridle, Gabrielle breeches, and Crushed Stone belt are all from KL Select . Personally, I think we pull it off.

Adara and I brought home the win in the Training/Novice division, we have spent the spring filling in some holes and I feel like the homework has paid off. She headed out on course with her ears pricked, looking for the flags, and gave me that same confident, game-on feeling that I get from her at home. It's been incredibly rewarding to see her become more consistent from schooling to competition!
Kyra Caffrey and her own Excel Star Wildwood also had a great weekend, finishing inside the top ten in the Open Novice at their first recognized novice. This partnership has been putting in a lot of work at home, and it's been rewarding to watch that effort translate into confident rides away from the farm
A huge thank you to the organizers and volunteers for another wonderful event. Full Moon is one of my favorite events, and the new modified course looked fantastic. Looking forward to being back there soon!

Staying ahead of it really comes down to consistency. Regular bathing helps keep their skin clean and comfortable, especially as it gets warmer. I like using Dapple Up because it’s made with naturally derived, essential oil–based ingredients, so it’s effective without being harsh on the horses’ skin.

I appreciate that my horses are curious and (sometimes) relatively unbothered by the chaos that occasionally takes over the farm. But I'm also very grateful for my full-seat Gabriela breeches from KL Select in moments like this.

Spring show season is here, which means travel, heat, and asking horses to work away from home. Last summer was my first season using Draw It Out Horse Health Care Solutions Hydro-Lyte, and I noticed a real difference in how much my horses were drinking when we were on the road.
It's electrolyte support that doesn't upset their stomachs—the GastroCell component matters when you're hauling and competing on back-to-back weekends.
It's one of those things I didn't know I needed until I saw the difference it made in their recovery and consistency. Now it's just part of the routine.

Between mud, sweat, and daily miles, our leathergoods earn their keep. Keeping equipment clean and conditioned isn’t glamorous, but it’s part of riding responsibly and protecting what keeps our horses and riders safe.
KL Select Mad Cow leather care makes the process simple and effective, which means fewer excuses and better tack year-round.

The Red Barn Stability Stirrup Leathers from KL Select offer support without restriction—helping riders stay balanced and secure without fighting their tack. It’s one of those upgrades you don’t notice… until you ride without it.

The wins, the whoops, the muddy boots, and the moments that mattered most. None of it happens without the people and horses who make HHE what it is. Here’s to progress, partnership, and showing up.
