Songs make use of costume pieces, rhythm instruments or props, and are fun for entire family! This session can accommodate individuals of all developmental levels.

Our Friend Skip

Ivy Hill had Skip for 3 years and loved every minute we had with him. When we retired him at 28 his body could not keep up with his mind.

Sadly, Skip passed away on Monday night. He was 31 years old. They brought him in from the field and after eating he laid down in his stall and fell asleep.

We send him along the Rainbow Bridge with Spot, Tonka and all the other horses that have served our students over the years!

Ivy Hill Students Win Big at Thorncroft

Ivy Hill students do it again with another banner day at Thorncroft Equestrian Center. All riders did a great job in their classes and it was a beautiful fall day to ride and watch the show. Riders enjoyed watching, competing, and cheering on other riders from Ivy Hill. The team work was great and family and friends were on hand to watch and support our riders as well.

14 riders, 5 horses, 4 instructors, and 6 volunteers attended the show.

Ivy Hill riders had many comments from the dressage ring such as: your circles were great, you have improved so much, you worked really well with that horse, good precision and energy between you and your horse, and good attention to detail.

Comments from the equitation ring included: you sat nice and tall, good posting, you kept your space nicely, and good control while steering.

Judges in those two rings have noticed an improvement in our riders who they have seen competing at Thorncroft for years. Judges were also excited to see some new faces. "Keep up the good work" they all kept saying!
