Several of these bad boys, VitaminWater, Gatorade, the occasional carbonated beverage, DayQuil/NyQuil, and Advil/Tylenol for the past three days, now starting to feel somewhat human and eat some light snacks. Wowza, that was a doozy. Feeling pretty weak but almost at the end! 🙏🙏 I have to take a moment to thank my wonderful barn family for the help and the many offers to help pick up the slack and helped me keep the whole operation running while I sulked in my teaching chair cold, tired, achy, and miserable! ❤️❤️ Stay healthy everyone! 💪💪 I am grateful to be physically able to keep an active lifestyle, which kept this from being far worse/longer. 🏇🏇 #loveourteam #teamcrystaleq #bestbarnfamily #goteam

We have the most amazing team members who work so hard to become more educated every day and be the best horsey parents that they can be. I am so proud of each and every one of them. 🐴🐴 Today I want to give a huge shout out to one really special human who began her horse journey just a short 5 years ago, and has blossomed into an absolutely amazing horsewoman, far wiser than her years. I could not be more proud of the hard work and dedication that has allowed our team room to grow while maintaining the high level of care of the horses and the farm!! (If you know me, you know that’s a big deal for me to trust and not micromanage everything… and thanks to this young lady, I am now able to breathe….and sleep!) 🎉🎉 To my right hand, and now officially Barn Manager, congratulations Ariana! I am so very very proud of you and so grateful to have you!! ❤️❤️❤️ #barnmanager #loveourteam #teamcrystaleq #loveourbubble #hardworkanddedication #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #farmlife #barnlife
Catching up on sharing photos on some captures this past week… I wasn’t able to get everyone, but those will be forthcoming in the upcoming week! I just love our team and so grateful to have our little barn bubble ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #secondhome #loveourteam #teamcrystaleq #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #barnlife
While it was too hot for a lesson, it was a perfect evening for some saddleless bonding time with the majestic Sarge and this birthday girl! Followed up by a nice hose down and cookies for Sarge and little family celebration for the birthday girl! ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉 #loveourteam #teamcrystaleq #percheronmorgan #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #barnlife

This is one lucky pony!! 🍀🍀 Ellie and Wyatt looking fantastic!! 😍😍 #happypony #matchymatchy #lemieux #guessmybreed #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #loveourteam #teamcrystaleq
These are the moments that remind me why I continue to do what I do, no matter how exhausted I am….being able to have our little bubble to let this next generation of horsewomen grow, let them encourage and teach each other, free to express themselves when they are scared, when they feel great, when they lose confidence, when they are ready to take the next big step…celebrate their successes, love their ponies, healthy competition with themselves. My heart smiles in these moments. These kids are making memories that they remember forever. 😍😍😍 #barnfamily #barnfriends #loveourbubble #loveourteam #teamcrystaleq #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife
True horse girl 😍 Just loves being at the barn, the pony comes first….

So proud of this young lady and her dedication ❤️ Every horse has something to teach you…this sweet boy is a great teacher of contact into connection. When you start to get it, he will happily go there… if it’s not right, even a little, he won’t. And what makes him so special is that he doesn’t care either way, he doesn’t hold a grudge and allows his girl to learn. The process is frustrating at times, he’ll go back and forth multiple times. Teaching to FEEL is not easy, the RIDER must FEEL…. She is getting it and it is just so lovely to watch them blossom! What a great pair!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #arabianhorse #specialpony #whatagreatteacher #movingonup #everyponydeservestobelovedbyalittlegirl #lovemtteam #teamcrystaleq #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife
