Welcome to my first quarterly newsletter!
It’s been an incredibly busy winter with horses in training and my own here at Cabin Branch Farm. We’ve been working hard on the new cross-country course and it’s almost ready to open for schooling (either with me, or with outside coaches.) Stay tuned for an announcement when the online booking link is available on the website.

If you’re not already subscribed to our newsletter, I highly recommend that you do so. In our latest edition, we shared a fantastic barn hack for the springtime that I think is worth repeating. We’ve discovered that by mixing a small amount of witch hazel with EQyss Grooming Products‘ Avocado Mist Conditioning Spray, we can easily remove saddle marks on colder days when it’s not suitable for sponging and hosing. This trick not only removes the saddle marks but also prevents the horses’ skin from drying out. Moreover, the Avocado Spray continues to condition the coat even after we apply it.
Running a training business is busy work! Most mornings my helmet goes on my head when I get on the first horse, and it doesn’t come off until I’m getting in the car to go home. And if I’m going to get really honest here- sometimes I forget to take my helmet off until I get home. I often get strange looks from people, but I think they might just be envious of my Champion Equestrian Wear helmet.

What a great weekend! Big thank you to all the volunteers who came out and helped this weekend at the MDHT Horse Trials! Way to go Jessica for bringing home first place in Novice 🎉

I’m going to let you in on a little secret… This is the first year that Zulu hasn’t destroyed his blanket! I love Bucas blankets for so many reasons, but the fact that they are INDESTRUCTIBLE is at the top of the list!

Even in tricky weather, I don’t have to worry in my Voltaire Design saddles. You wouldn’t believe all of the thought and design that goes into it these lightweight saddles- I especially love my Lexington jump saddle. Voltaire has taken horse and rider anatomy into account and has truly created something that feels like you are part of your horse. There is nothing quite like riding in a Voltaire.
We spent Easter 🐰🌸 with some awesome horses, their fantastic people, and the wonderful staff and volunteers at CDCTA Horse Trials. I am so proud of all of these horses and riders!
Tori Rosenblatt and ‘Paris Lady’ had a confident first outing in Open Novice- I can’t wait to see what this pair does in the future.
4/9 CDCTA Spring Horse Trials (Berryville, VA)
Show season is rolling at home, and I think it’s finally time to pack up our Bucas blankets (someone knock on wood 
) and pull out our Bucas fly sheets. I can’t wait to see my herd out in their Bucas Buzz Off Fly Gear from Toklat Originals. Plus they are always stylish in their zebra print. Don’t be scared of a little pattern! Research shows that flies certainly are. I am 1000% behind anything that keeps my horses from stomping all summer.
