We capped off our NC trip with Carolina International HT! ‘Stuck on Gold’ tackled the green numbers in his first prelim! And while this quirky #OTTB has some homework to do, I’m BEYOND proud of how far he’s come! We also took the opportunity to get young ‘Island Nominee’ used to the bigger venue and lots of atmosphere; he handled it like a seasoned pro, and we are very excited for his future! Thank you to everyone for their continued support and belief in our team! Excited for the rest of the spring season! 3/15-19: Carolina International (Raeford, NC) Brittany with Stuck on Gold: 6th in Preliminary Rider
Derek had a super outing at the Loch Moy starter
Champion Equestrian Wear helmets
With 10+ horses to ride every day, my Champion Equestrian Wear helmets from Toklat Originals are rarely off my head. I’m thankful to have a range of them including a couple of gorgeous & incredibly comfy ‘hunt cap’ styles (Evolution Pearl and Evolution Couture because everyone needs a little bling once in a while!) as well as a Revolution MIPS Deluxe Skull Cap. My #ChampionHats are the first brand to keep my head cool and headache free at the end of my day.

Our favorite Draw It Out Horse Health Care Solutions products
Two of our favorite Draw It Out Horse Health Care Solutions products are their Silver Hoof EQ Therapy cream and Rapid Relief Restorative Cream (and spray).
Rapid Relief is like a band-aid in a jar. 🩹 Perfect for life’s scrapes and bumps and all the stuff that horses somehow manage to get… With two kinds of zinc, shea butter, arnica, chamomile, aloe vera and Manuka honey, it forms a moisturizing yet water-resistant barrier which allows and accelerates healing. No dyes, fragrances or drying alcohol, and it’s show-safe which is always nice.
Silver Hoof is a little jar of wonder. It works to combat microbial infections (thrush, rot etc.) while balancing moisture content and creating a breathable moisture barrier. Glycerine, zinc and silver nitrate are the powerhouse ingredients alongside keratin, arnica, tea tree oil (a miracle worker in itself), thyme oil and more Manuka honey.
I love how #DrawItOut always has exactly what we need.

Picture yourself here
Picture yourself here… on your horse having a riding lesson or schooling session! This is our gorgeous home base at Cabin Branch Farm in Marshall, VA. You need your horse – the rest we will look after!
I’ll be opening up my availability for lessons at almost any level. You can come to the farm as an individual, or get a group together for a small group lesson. And once the warm weather really sets the ground up, we will be loving our new cross-country options! I’d love to set up a weekly XC schooling group if anyone is interested…
🦊 One great group idea is if you’re a fox-hunter and would like to brush up on cross-country safety, let me know and we will make it happen. That’s a perfect option for a small group of about 5-6.
Or I could come to you! But then you don’t get all this.

Southern Pines update
‘Stuck on Gold’ handled the cold weather like a total pro this weekend scoring a personal best in dressage of 23.3 and he was fast and confident around XC. Unfortunately the freezing cold rain and atmosphere in the stadium ring resulted in a few green rails but he ended up 4th overall and is feeling ready for Carolina next weekend!
‘Island Nominee’ despite some green moments had a GREAT weekend gaining confidence in each phase! I’m so thankful to be able to get him out in the bigger atmosphere at such a young age.
Jess Sappenfield kicked off her show season with a great weekend with ‘Flat Creek’ earning second in their novice division. We’re all very excited for their partnership!
Thank you to Jess who not only owns Island Nominee but also kept our show running even while she was competing. And to everyone at Cabin Branch for holding down the fort and letting us get away to horse show.
And to our #TeamHME sponsors for all of your support!

Welcoming students for spring 2023
We’re excited to say the Hebets-Miller coaching team are welcoming students for spring 2023! (OK, one is doing more supervising than coaching…) Brittany has a couple of openings for any level. If you’re a foxhunter looking to learn a bit more about safely riding across country come here to the farm (we also have a spectacular indoor as you can see!) Most of our eventing and jumper students ship-in and when the weather really gets consistently nice we will get out onto the gorgeous new cross-country course.
➡️ OR get a small group together in the NOVA area and Brittany can come to you! Generally 5-6 in a group works best, or a group of individual/semi-private lessons will also work. *You need to have your own horse*
☎️ Call or text Brittany at 928-380-0014 to get the ball rolling!
