Happy Birthday Boudreaux JC:Saluted Affair. You are one wonderful horse!

Big Announcement!
You know the saying, every cloud has a silver lining…well, due to the loss of our lease/purchase agreement on our current property, we have moved to the absolutely beautiful Bit by Bit Farm in Elgin, TX.
I couldn’t be more excited about this!! I will be heading up the beginner program and helping support Kim Snyder (owner/trainer) and Linda Crothers (trainer) around the farm and when travel takes them away to horse shows.
The chance to work with and learn from these two accomplished horse women is a dream come true! Their vast knowledge of training horses, coaching riders and all things “horse” has lead them and their horses and riders to much success in the show ring!
I am so excited for my current students and horses too! Bit by Bit Farm is a beautiful 100 acres of rolling hills, covered in gorgeous grass and trees. The facility is lovely with a huge, lighted, sand arena and adorable red barns and shed rows. Kim has done a great job adding an “Austin Aesthetic” to the property and loads of planters full of beautiful flowers! The views are gorgeous! It is fantastic!!!
I have known many of the current Bit by Bit riders and their families for years from all of our time together at horse shows. They are wonderful people! The Bit by Bit barn family is very warm and welcoming and I am so excited to be a part of it!
I know the horses are going to be very happy in this horse paradise and I am so excited about all the growth my students will experience in their abilities and knowledge and I am super excited about growing the beginner program at such an amazing farm.
Thank you Kim for this fabulous opportunity! Here is to 2025! May it be the best year yet!

Please, please, please teach your students this!!!

TOP TIP TUESDAY EQ-ESTRIANS 💡 Let’s talk about the warm up, it can sometimes become a bit of a scary place let’s face it 🥴 the last thing you want to focus on is trying to avoid a head on collision so if everyone follows this one simple rule then it’s one less thing to think about!! PASS LEFT TO LEFT Left shoulder, left hand, left foot or eye, whatever helps you remember, always pass your left hand to the other riders left hand. P.s it’s not the right side just because you think it’s your left 😉 if you need to mark your gloves then do!! Let’s make these warm ups a happier and safer place 🙏 #toptiptuesday #warmup #safety #horses #tips #equestrian #lookout #follow #germanridinginstructor #explorepage #fyp #rcrequestrian

The Picadilly Team had a wonderful 2024 show year!!!
I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what a great year we had! We are not a big, fancy facility. We ARE a wonderful, small barn family full of dedicated riders and wonderful horses on a humble property and with that dedication we managed to get it done!

I am so very proud of all of the riders that show up every week and do their best! We had a wonderful show season because of your hard work!
