Spring in the Mountains


"Sven and Wesley"
I am so excited to be home; while being a little overwhelmed with the weather, schedule and uncertainty of the season to come. We are off to Tulip Springs, in Kennewick, WA this weekend for a cross country school in preparations for NWEC in Rainier next weekend! Michelle is taking her C-2 in a couple of weeks and I have some out of town clinics coming up. I am also hoping to put in a garden this year (I know, not the smartest use of my time in McCall Idaho!)
Wasatch Sport Horses is pleased to announce our purchase of "Yes We Can" aka "Wesley" from Audrey Corsburg. He is a lovely, kind, talented animal that we love having in the barn.
We also just got in Payton, a 16.2 hand unbroke 7 year old mustang that is very handsome and sweet.
Things are getting cleaned up and rolling at the barn (between snow storms) and we are looking forward to a fun filled summer (between snow storms.) Hope to see you all soon.

Coming Home



Our time in the sun of Arizona is coming to an end. I have to brag on the season; not only was the weather above average; the horses were as well!
The highlights of the year have been mixed between our own rides and some of the amazing rides we have witnessed. We took a family affair to Las Vegas
to watch the FEI World Cup Dressage and Show Jumping and are still in awe! Steffen Peters, Sapphire, and Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum are nothing short of inspirational. Their position, skill, horse flesh and presence gives me goose bumps, really! McLain and Sapphire in the final-
