Join us Saturday at 3:00 PM, immediately following EMES Testing, for our IEA Info Session!

We’ll go over what IEA is, how the season works, what riders can expect, and how to get involved.

And remember, you do not have to currently ride at Double Rainbow Farm to participate, and IEA opportunities aren’t just for English riders!

If you’ve been curious about IEA or are considering participating this season, this is the perfect opportunity to come learn more and ask questions.

Being a great horseman goes far beyond what happens in the saddle.

It’s understanding the horse in front of you and knowing how to care for them. It's understanding the barn around them, learning how our sport works, and continuing to ask questions, even after you’ve mastered the basics.

That’s why EMES education goes beyond riding with four areas of study:

🐴 Riding & Horsemanship
📚 Horse Management
🏡 Facility Management
🏆 Competition

Your path with horses might lead to the show ring, a training career, barn management, grooming, judging, veterinary medicine, or simply a lifetime of loving and understanding horses. Whatever that path looks like, horsemanship starts with education.

For yourself.
For your horse.
For your sport.

💛I’m Going to Let Your Child Struggle 💛

When your child comes for lessons with me, I’m going to let them struggle sometimes.

They may have never fastened a buckle on a piece of tack. A saddle might be heavy and awkward. Their lead rope may be a tangled mess. And something that would take me ten seconds might take them five minutes.

I’m not going to immediately step in and do it for them. *Unless its a safety issue.*

Because someday, I want your child to walk into the barn, catch their own horse, tack up, and head out feeling completely confident in their own abilities.

Why?

Because they’re learning that they can do hard things.

So yes, I’ll help when something is beyond a child's physical ability. I’ll encourage, demonstrate, and keep them safe.

But when they *can* do it? I’m going to give them the time to fumble with the buckle. Untangle the rope. Try again. And figure it out.

Parents, I know watching that can be hard. You’ll want to jump in and make it easier.

But sometimes the greatest gift we can give a child is not making the hard thing easier.

It’s standing beside them long enough for them to discover:

“I can do this myself.”

The ribbons, the goals, the lessons, and the long days are part of it, but the horse will always be the reason.
