Prairie Breeze Stable

Just a reminder that there are no lessons tomorrow as we are at the keystone for a horse show.

Come visit and cheer on your favorite horses!

There will be no lessons on Wednesday June 10th due to damages caused by the storm.

We hope to be operational again on Thursday 🤞

Evening chores as the storm opens up in the sky to the north.

I will never stop taking pictures of the beautiful sky that surrounds us. It’s mystical and unknown. I adore it.

The month of May flew by and we are looking forward to summer break and with summer break comes.. SUMMER CAMPS!!

Both are national organizations that offer families financial assistance in the form of sport registration fees, equipment, etc.

Early in May I went through the loss of a family member. It caused me to take a big step back in a lot of things.. social media seemed to be one of them.

I didn’t realize the impact the loss has on me until I went through all the motions of grieving and was ready to pick things back up.

It has been quite a while since I posted!!

May was full of so many great things that I need to share.

Spring lesson session #2 started up.

Barn rats are busy prepping for an upcoming show.

We hosted a farrier clinic and the barn rats got to make their own horse shoe.

I passed my EC rider level 3 and am halfway through my coaching journey.

We endured some storms and had many fits of laughter.

May was a great month and I cannot wait to see what June holds!!

Due to the heat, tonight’s lessons will be cancelled.

Something to read for those going to Wheat City show in June

🏇 Spring competition season has officially kicked off across North America!

From local schooling shows to major venues like our hometown favorite, Events , riders everywhere are setting goals, preparing for competition, and getting back into the ring.

Along with the excitement of show season can also come nerves and performance anxiety, especially when expectations are high. The good news? Feeling nervous before a competition is completely normal, even for experienced riders.

Preparation plays a major role in building confidence. Practicing consistently, simulating the show environment at home, sticking to familiar routines, and having a clear plan for show day can all help reduce stress and improve focus.

Mental strategies such as visualization, identifying triggers, and breathing exercises may also help riders stay calm and present before entering the ring. Confidence doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from preparation, experience, and trusting both yourself and your horse.

I suggest everyone wear mittens and extra socks today for their lesson.

We have gotten rid of the wind but now we have the cold again! 🥶
