Christen and Magnum 🐉

"2024. I was going to opt out of this year’s highlights reel but I feel like I have to do this to move forward.
This year took a turn I never imagined. On Magnum’s 10th birthday, my parent’s called to tell me my mother/best friend had terminal cancer.

I spent her final months taking care of her at her home w my Dad and one of my closest friends.

No one can prepare you for this. Thankfully, I found strength and comfort to get through in spending time with Magnum. It was near impossible to go home and be a wife and mother without that horse time to take the edge off in between caregiving and normal life. Life doesn’t stop when you are in crisis mode even for a minute!

As the days got more difficult and my time to ride was short, I would stand in the sun with Magnum while he happily grazed or bathe him. He didn’t care and was fine to just hang out with me.

Our goals were forgotten, along with all our dressage tests. I’m pretty sure I forgot how to ride, breathe, or function properly. I reached out to Magnum’s old owner (other mother) to ask if he would be ok. She assured me that he had a “good brain” and we would be fine.

When my mom was so very sick and it became awkward talking about the future or the past, I would tell her Magnum stories and show her videos. She would tell me often to “Go ride your horse”. Those words, packed with so much more meaning, for only she knew exactly how freeing and necessary that was for me.

I am ESPECIALLY and FOREVER thankful to my true ride or die friends, Shannon and Morgan. Jessica, my young friend with the old soul. The Barn Babes, and of course the amazing Prince William crew…who would bring coffee, glittery gifts, offer to tack up my horse so I could just “get on like a princess” when time was short or even ride Magnum in a clinic so he did more than just be my best friend. You all mean so much to me! A huge thank you to my equestrian family, including the staff at HKEC and Dr Mike. I know I can be a handful worrying about anything and everything with my Magnum. I appreciate having the great care and support provided. 🙏🏼🥰😍"

"2024 was a year full of new adventures for us! From beach rides and photoshoots, to fox hunting and trying out the hunters, we did a little bit of everything last year!
I want to thank everyone who has helped keep her in work for me while I recover from surgery, especially Chelsea for giving Belle the chance to be loved on by Dezi and Emma. Not being able to ride has been tough but seeing Belle bring joy to others has been the biggest highlight of the year to me 🫶🏻

Here’s to another year of adventures!"

"It was a year of ups and down for Prince William and I, but I am amazingly thankful for the awesome veterinary care, my fantastic farrier, incredible trainer, and my fellow boarders whom I'm lucky enough to call some of my best friends. I haven't ever had so many people who truly care and rally behind us, and offer me horses to ride, suggestions, solutions, and most-importantly moral support. Being given rides on some super fun horses like Seamus, Mazie, Tynk, Incalan, and of course, Hank, just meant the world to me.
We've been cleared to canter and go for quiet trail rides at this point so I'm hopeful for a fun 2025 with the 25 year old rascal. ❤️"

Today is also Willie's birthday! 🎂

“2024 was an amazing year! Ruger had a good season at the beginning of the year! Having the opportunity to welcome the best mare into the family Rita! She was amazing ending out my season with a bang! Having sooo many trails at the barn makes trails rides so much fun! I love taking my two on the trails all summer!”

"Another successful year full of adventures with my four legged kids! Again we call High Knoll home base, but we travel alot! We left just before the real cold and snow got going at the end of January and stayed in Aiken until mid April so we missed that crazy late season snow storm. Borky and I had our usual boot camp full of lessons and competitions in Aiken, even finishing 3rd at Pine Top HT in Georgia. Calloway spent lots of time hacking in the warm sunshine and enjoying a paddock full of grass!
The summer season brought us traveling to more shows and camp in VT! We had great lessons a few times a month, which meant traveling 2 hours away to our instructors! We trained hard to get to our season goal of championships in KY!
Borky, Lexi and I hit the road for KY the last week of August and what an adventure it was! Borky and I competed at the American Eventing Championships with over 1,000 other entries! The temperatures were record highs above 100 degrees all week, but we finished on our dressage score!
The fall season was quieter with fewer shows and lessons. Again both Calloway and Borky attended Equine Affaire in November and were excellent ambassadors for the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation.
Borky and I got to ride in a clinic mid November with Tamie Smith which was an incredible opportunity.
Lexi and I participated in the Rochester Christmas parade with our friends from HK! December is our month of rest before we get going to concore yet another year of adventure.
We love calling HK home and Lexi promises to continue to guard the barn and steal snacks! Borky will continue to be the entertainer and greeting committee and Calloway will continue to pass along his 36 years of wisdom to horses and humans."

They leave today for Aiken, safe travels and we'll see you in April!

Chance loves flirting with Midori across the hallway and gossiping with Willie at the end of the day. Cutting the rug with Calloway during the summer days will always be a favorite. He’s a big fan of seeing the additional western saddles arriving in the tack room! Chance is ready for summer to come back!"

"Sebastian and I’s favorite highlight was getting to go to Vermont for GMHA camp. We got to teach campers how horse anatomy works and ride through the beautiful fields of Vermont. We also got to ride with friends, go apple picking, and spend lots of time together. 🫶

We also want to thank both Dr. Mike and Dr. Myhre as well as the amazing techs that have been able to help Sebastian with his hock fusion issues he’s been facing over the past 8 years. This summer Sebastian was finally comfortable enough to jump for the first time since 2021! We are excited to see what we do and where we go in 2025 😊💕"

Hank may not be mine but we spent a lot of time together this year! He put on his brave boy pants and really grew more confident! Lots of trail adventures and fun with friends!
We have the best barn family between all the staff and boarders to make this year even more special ❤️"
