Knollwood Kids are finishing up their academic years, and we can hardly wait to have them around the farm more.

Camp starts next Monday with a Tiny Tot session as well as an academy week.

We’re rolling into Knollwood Summer 2026.

First, a recap of last weekend:

Our academy team made the trip to Beyond Stable Farm for the first ever Monarch May Classic show.

Created and managed by the same team that bring us the Monarch Series  shows and National Championship, this new addition was a beautiful addition to our show season.

Our riders enjoyed riding in the beautiful covered outdoor ring, loved the hospitality that made everything fun, and the organized team running the weekend.

Parents of our walk and trot riders really enjoyed their sunny Sunday sipping mimosas while watching their kids show. The riders loved the lemonade stand and bracelet making station.

Action in the ring was wonderful, too.

On Saturday, Gracie rode at her very first academy show, and Finley L showed in walk, trot, and canter for the first time.

Our Sunday riders really enjoyed riding their expansive pattern in the huge arena, and hanging out in the sun.

Big thanks to our show techs Dilly and Kali for keeping our horses in great shape, and helping our riders look very put together.

The techs did manage to find time to trail ride on Saturday, and Leon and Sport thought it was a wonderful idea.

Here Comes a Big One

The show barn is heading to Springfield, Illinois this weekend for the Midwest Charity Horse Show. Held in the most beautiful arena for a horse show, this competition brings together some of the best horses and riders in the country.

Team Knollwood will be in the thick of the competition  with talented equitation riders and flashy performance riders.

The show is being webcast on Richfield Video, and here’s the link to watch. We’ll post our schedule prior to the show start.
