Megillian Farm

Shout Out to the Western Tennessee H/J Association’s 2025 Short/Long Stirrup Champs Kendall and Cedar’s Gus Glowan. Thank you to the team at Aintree Farm keeping our favorite pony so happy, healthy and well matched with darling partners. Congratulations!

… 2025

T’was the night before Christmas and all through Megillian farm,
The barn thermostat reads 65, how unseasonably warm!
There are new faces this year that fill all the stalls,
snapshots of their successes hang proudly on the lounge walls.
The jumps are put away, no more challenging equitation course in the ring,
The new horses don’t jump fences, dressage is their thing!
We welcomed Caitlyn Farm to share in the magic at Megillian,
In the blink of an eye the horses and their lovey ladies were settled in.
While 2025 has brought its fair share of bumps in the road,
trusting in the process is the Megillian mantra we continue to uphold.
To my best Gussy, you are a gift that keeps magically giving,
At a young 26, you’ve been my whole heart since the very beginning.
To my Baby Billy, you’ve grown into a stunning young hunter,
You’ve captured Maddy’s heart with your elegance and wonder.
To my Megillian graduates, in my heart each of you holds space,
You have all grown into young adults with such beauty and grace.
As this year comes to a close, I choose to remember how we’ve grown,
I welcome 2026, all that is on the horizon, new adventures to be shown.
With warm, hopeful hearts and this thought in mind,
I encourage my friends near and far to live everyday being unapologetically kind.
As we lay to sleep tonight, unspoken dreams within sight,
Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!

And the sky above the farm dances …

The stars have certainly aligned for this celestial boy for a second time. This kind soul found his way to me when I needed him most and now he’s found his way to Maddy. I’d always wondered if Billy’s sweetness could be matched…Well, it most certainly has been and in human form, and lucky for him it’s HIS new human. No one can put a bow on this story better than Maddy Mullins. Maddy, I am so happy to share this especially sweet and special boy with you. I always will be your number one cheerleader, but you no doubt have a supportive and wonderful team surrounding you at Willowbrook. Congratulations on your partnership with Billy, AKA Baby Billy/SirWilliam.

Happy hearts for both these cuties because Cypress gets to call Tot hers for another term and Tot gets to continued to be spoiled sweet by Cy! Thank you to our friends at Aintree for your continued care of our favorite “TaterTot”.

School might be back in session, but Tully is ALL SMILES as she starts her new partnership with our dearest boy Cedar’s Gus Glowan. To the team at Aintree, the love and care you’ve shown Gussy shines through the smiles of the lucky little riders that get to call him their own. Congratulations to Team Gus!

Such a special day when you get to meet and congratulate the darling kiddo IN PERSON on her lease renewal of your favorite pony. Ken, you and Gussy make me smile and hearing the stories and memories you’ve created is priceless. Safe travels back to Memphis, I’m sure he’s anxious to see you! Thank you to your team at Aintree, SMF and your parents for setting you both up for such success. You are on 🔥! -colors.

This is no April Fools joke, there’s a new darling match in Memphis, Marquis and Cypress. Thank you to the team at and especially Susan Johnson for seeing the potential in this pair. There is no doubt you will have great times ahead with this sweet and wonderful teacher.

Love this report from Gulf Port. My sweet boy and his precious girl with a fantastic Short Stirrup Debut. Congrats Team.

St. Louis area friends headed to Ocala: Does anyone have an extra spot on their trailer for one? Thought I’d ask here before branching out further as many of you are luckier than I and get to head south! Week of 1/13 preferred.

The New Year opens doors for dreamers and adventurers. Chase yours with an open heart and mind, whatever they may be.
