There is a sign that hangs in my office. The sign says, “Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby to be picked up and put down. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person, and once it has done so, his life will be radically changed.” I can see this each morning as I check emails and complete office tasks. What does it mean exactly? What does this passion and change look like?
This morning as I was checking my email, I came across a quote from James Clear. If any of you have ever heard of the book, Atomic Habits, he is the author. His inspiration comes to my inbox each week. Todays message was, “Improvements are only temporary, until they become part of who you are.” He goes on to say, People should not have a goal to run a marathon; they should have a goal to become a runner. People should not learn to play an instrument; they should have a goal to become a musician. As I read, I thought of the many students I have had over the years and the ones I have now. They have dreams of showing, being in the NFR, and doing great things. I also think of the phone calls I get for lessons once a month on my horses. This means, they have not ridden for three weeks in between. This person wants to be a rider, yet they are taking lessons.
As I sat back and thought of the cold winters here in northeastern Pennsylvania, I thought about all the reasons people come up with not to ride. Some people were busy with the holidays, some do not have an arena, some hate the cold, and some just do not ride in the off season. I can relate to every excuse. That is what they are. Building a dream is not only about riding. Building a dream is about the passion it takes to get on your horse at 20 degrees and do some slow work. Building a dream is about being in the arena with your horse, when everyone else is sitting in front of a warm fire. This dream is not about taking riding lessons. This is about the time you are willing to put into riding in between the lessons. This is about becoming a rider.

As we enter a new year with new goals and a fresh mindset, we would like to take a moment to reflect on how far we have come, the dreams we have made come true, and the labor of love it has taken for us to get here! We want to thank everyone who have been part of our journey. Because of you, we are better people. Moving ahead to 2026 we are excited to continue our journey here. We have a great group of clients, boarders, and students. We have a beautiful property to call home, and we are excited to share it with you! We look forward to making 2026 the best year yet!

As we end Christmas week and move on to the goals of the New Year, here is a recap of the best Christmas ever! We were so excited to participate in the Sayre Christmas Parade, give pony rides at Towandas Hometown Christmas, share in the joy of giving with the Athens Township Police and their Sirens for Santa, spend Christmas eve giving lessons and visiting with friends, and share in the joy of friends reading to their children about how our horses saved Christmas. Christmas was a little brighter for two young ladies who now own their first horses.
Christmas is never ever found under the tree! Its found in friendships, in giving to those less fortunate, in sharing the love for one of the greatest animals on earth, the horse! 🐴🧡✨️🎄🎅.... and maybe a dog or two...or 6 🤗
