We’ve been busy with horse shows and barn activities, so it’s time for a little catch up, and a look ahead.

UPHA Spring Show

We had a ball at the UPHA Chapter 10 Spring show last weekend. We took a group of mostly inexperienced academy riders to Beyond Stable Farm where our students learned many lessons in the show ring.

Showing presents unique opportunities for advancing a rider’s skills. Competitors learn to manage stress and focus on each task at hand. In addition to the rider’s mindset, horses may react differently among new horses and situations.

Knollwood riders are fortunate to have extensive group riding experience at home. We actually practice how to avoid getting boxed in, and how to get out if you do. There’s nothing like a good game of ‘coverup’ using Bilbo or Bee to learn important showring skills.

In addition to railwork, we spend a lot of time on patterns. Patterns help riders realize how horses ‘work,’ both physically and mentally.  Our riders make it look easy, but these riders are thinking and organizing nonstop to control their minds and their horses' minds as well.

Our riders handled the new challenges with patience and mental organization. (Of course, the best lesson horses in the world are great instructors.)

 

Some highlights of the weekend?

Knollwood Kids won all three pattern classes.

First time show rider Niamh won her pattern class. Niamh’s busy acting life forced her to miss showing in the walk trot division, and jumped right into the walk trot and canter world at her first show.

Maura and Olivia showed for the first time, and rode like pros.

Abby, Elise, and Olivia moved from walk and trot to the walk trot and canter division for the first time. They represented us well.

And show techs, Dilly and Kali? They took grand care of our horses, had riders taped and pinned for the ring, and were great representatives of Knollwood Kids.

We’re so proud of all our riders. Their futures are looking bright.

Next up for our academy stars?

Our most experienced riders are heading for the Madison Classic show on May 23.

More of our up and coming show riders are competing May 30 and 31 at the Monarch May Classic show at Beyond Stable Farm.

Spring Knollwood Show

Tips:

Gift basket donations are due on Tuesday, May 12.

Show parking will be available at the Kettle Moraine Curling Club on both days of the show.

We’re still looking for concession stand help, and we have a few gift basket needs.

Charity Class!

Our charity class to benefit Rogers Behavioral Health has a couple of spots left.

Rogers does so much good in our community, and has helped a number of Knollwood Kids over the years.

We’re looking for three or four more riders to play ‘Musical Towels’ in the last class of the day on Saturday.

Class cost is $50 cash, with $40 going to the charity, and $10 going to the winner of the class.

Towels embroidered with school horse names can be sponsored for $25, with all $$ going to Rogers.

Songs can be purchased for $25 with all proceeds going directly to Rogers.

Towel and song donations can be paid in cash, or with checks made out to ‘Rogers Behavioral Health Foundation’.

We’re looking forward to an entertaining game and a chance to help an important service in our community.

 

 

Our show sponsor is Hintz Giuffre CPAs.

'Hintz Giuffre CPAs is a public accounting firm helping individuals, non-profits, and individuals achieve financial peace of mind and success with reliable and customized financial reporting, tax, and advisory services.

We are excited to support the spring show and are grateful for everything Knollwood Farm provides to our community.'

The Knollwood community is grateful for their support.

It’s Food Drive Time!

Our 15^th annual (at least) food drive benefitting the Food Pantry of Waukesha County starts on May 24, and continues through June 4.

The food pantry runs low on inventory at this time of year when kids no longer receive meals at school. We’ve made it a tradition to help during the summer shortage.

Each Knollwood Kid who collects five food kits, containing six of the eight items listed on the graphic above, is eligible to join a Knollwood Olympic team.  They can also collect the cash equivalent of five kits, and each kit is worth $20. Any checks collected should be made out to the Food Pantry of Waukesha.

That Means It’s Olympic Time!

Knollwood Kids who have collected a minimum of five food kits will gather on Saturday, June 6 at 5:30 PM for team meetings.

We’ll place riders on teams to make them even, and each team will compete in five ‘games of skill.’ Last year the events included a blanket race, a blind buggy race, horse charades, and a relay race.

The games are fun and ridiculous. The Olympics are a way to celebrate your donations to help others in our community who are less fortunate.

The food barrels will be out, and you can drop your kits off in the show barn lounge. Please give any checks to your instructor or admin.

Also, please label your bags so we know who to credit for the donation.

Thanks in advance.

It’s time to answer some of our most frequently heard questions. Please feel free to submit your questions to your instructor for inclusion in future blogs!

There’s so much going on at Knollwood.

How do I stay informed with all the events?

Your best source of information is our fabulous staff of admins at the front desk. Come on in and talk to the ladies who know about all the upcoming events, show entries, schedule updates and used clothing. They are even up to date on school horse birthdays!

The brilliant admins can help you sign up for upcoming events, help you complete entry forms, and even help with fit of used clothing.

They’re friendly, informed, and know all about Knollwood.

Even if the admin is away from the desk, the lounge is a wealth of information. We have a bulletin board with info galore, and we currently have the spring show schedule taking up an entire wall.

Your instructor tries to inform all students of all the fun coming up, too.

You can also catch up from the comfort of your own home.

You’re reading the blog, so you already know about that.

We’re active on social media, and try to post all our events there.

 

My rider just started at Knollwood.

How does my Knollwood Kid get more involved?

 

The best way to dive into being a Knollwood Kid is to join the Knollwood Knockouts.

The Knockouts are our 27 year old youth group that’s affiliated with the American Saddlebred Horse and Breeders Association.

Knockouts get to know each other at Parents’ Night Out events throughout the year. Suitable for horse kids of all ages, these nights allow the kids to enjoy non riding activities at the farm with the Knockout officers and board members. The parties include dinner, games, and fun activities.

Knockouts also participate in community and charitable events.

This Saturday, the club is cleaning up Oakwood and Nagawicka Roads, and we’re looking for as many participants as we can get. The activity starts at 1:00 PM and will last until around 2:30 PM. We also host a street clean up in the Fall.

The Knockouts run the Knollwood academy shows which are the their biggest fundraisers of the year. The club runs the concession stand, the gift baskets, and the 50/50 raffle. Our shows host close to 100 riders, and they take a small army of volunteers to make them run smoothly.

We’re always looking for parent help, too!

The Knockouts also host an annual car wash at the Piggly Wiggly in Hartland. This year we’re washing cars on July 19. It’s our most entertaining fundraiser of the year.

The club is proud of its annual awards banquet.  The Knollwood community gathers each January to celebrate our high point award winners for both in-barn and out of barn shows.

 We enjoy social time, dinner, and our awards program before we finish the night with a slide show, a DJ and dancing.

The Knockouts also make donations to important causes. We’ve donated to the Honor Flight, the American Heart Association, the Saddleseat World Cup and support for hurricane victims and trainers battling cancer. We're proud of our club, and all that it's achieved.

 

 

Does the lesson schedule change for summer?

With the addition of Summer Riding School, we do make some changes for the summer.

We take a break from our Welcome to Knollwood program to lighten the load for our beginner horses who do a lot of camp work.

We slow down our Sunday mini camp program, but we DO still offer this important entry point.

Our private lessons remain the same.

 

My Knollwood Kid has been riding for a year or so. How does the helper program work?

Helpers are an integral part of our lesson program. Interested riders can learn more about horse care, work ethic, and helping others in our helper program.

Becoming a helper at Knollwood is a privilege reserved for hard-working, kind, dedicated horse kids who are at least 10 years of age.

The best way to become a helper is to come early to your lesson and get your own horse ready, and then take care of your horse after the lesson.  Respect for your horse is the best way to be considered for the role.

If you’d like to investigate being considered to be a helper, please reach out to your instructor who will pass the info on to Brenda, who is our helper scheduler.

Most helpers start assisting at mini camps and tiny tot camps, as the work load is lower than for a full shift of weekly helping.

Helpers must be able to commit to a consistent day of the week, and be reliable. We count on our helper staff to assist with new riders, and to keep our priceless horses well cared for.

Our helper program offers wonderful opportunities to learn more about horses, horse care, and how a barn works. Helpers also learn how to prioritize, how to manage time, and how to work hard. Really hard.

What’s Coming Up?

See you soon at the barn, or at the in-gate.

Team Knollwood started their 2026 show season with a bang.

Our show horses headed to the National Equestrian Center in St Louis to compete at the Bridlespur Society Horse Show. The facility is perfect for an early season show, and the competition was deep.

Jane and Eli made their team debut at Bridlespur and made quite an impact. Jane and the ever-expressive Undulata’s Crystal Illusionist finished second in their qualifier and were named reserve champions.

This team is  going to have a blast this season.

Mother daughter duo Kim and Allison had a fun ladies weekend at the show.

Kim and Jaydee won both their Monarch Single Bit qualifier and championship, while daughter Allison finished second in both her qualifier and championship on big, beautiful Arthur.

The equitation ladies were not to be outdone.

Averie and Prince were stars in the walk and trot equitation division, winning both their qualifier and championship.

 

Sister Shaye won the Good Hands qualifier on Lady.

Maiya showed freshly trimmed Riddle in Saddle Seat Equitation at Bridlespur. The graceful team finished second to Shaye in the Good Hands and won the championship on Saturday.

 

Leighton and Teddy picked up right where they left off last season. The exciting duo won their UPHA Challenge Cup qualifier and finished second in the Saddle and Bridle Pleasure Equitation Medallion qualifier.

Meanwhile, at Beyond Stable Farm in Illinois, our academy and a few show horses were competing at the IASPHA Spring Show.

Jules made her debut in show horse classes, donning a suit for the first time. She and Willis had a wonderful first show, learning lots of lessons along the way. She and Willis even finished reserve champions in their division!

 

Our academy riders had quite a first show.

We had a super diverse group of riders at the show, ranging from some of our most experienced academy stars to Stella and Sawyer, who made their show ring debuts.

Some highlights of the weekend?

Five Knollwood Kids moved into the walk, trot, and canter division at this show. Congratulations to Eleni, Kelsey, Madison, Rags, and Rebecca for making the move to Saturdays.

 

We had sisters competing against each other in the walk trot and canter world for the first time. Veteran Dilly came out on top, but Rags is fighting her way up.

 

Eight-year-old Vienna was going to be alone in her age group, so she rode ‘up’ with the 9- and 10-year-olds to get some competition. Our Knollwood Kid won the 10 and under championship and won the all ages pattern walk trot pattern class.  She truly rose to the challenge.

 

Our two first time show riders, Sawyer and Stella were both stars in their debuts. They learned lessons, competed in their first ever pattern classes away from home, and soaked up all that your first horse show has to offer.

 

We all learned a lot.

Our techs, Dilly and Kali are fabulous.

Our horses are beyond compare.

See you soon at the barn, or the ingate!

The show horses are in St Louis ready to compete at the Bridlespur Society Horse Show, and our academy horses are leaving tomorrow for the IASPHA Spring Show in Woodstock.

We’ve been reflecting on the season ahead and have come up with four keys to a successful show season.

Gratitude

How fortunate we are to be able to spend time with these glorious animals. And we get to spend horse show weekends with our barn team.

Many people would love to do the same and are unable to participate in the horse world.

Be grateful, always, for the opportunities we get to share.

Thank your horse.

Thank your trainer and instructor.

Thank the people who make sure your horse is glammed out for the ring and take such good care of him every day.

Thank your friends for their support, kindness, and laughs.

Junior exhibitors, thank your parents for the opportunities they’ve given you.

Thank the barista at Starbucks on those early mornings.

 

Resilience

We often say, ‘Horses teach us a lot, and most of it isn’t about horses.’

When you’re showing horses, it’s a proven fact that there will be ups and downs.

Perfection is unattainable.

So, diagonals will be missed, patterns will be creatively performed, shoes will be tossed, horses will get sick, and someone will pop a champagne cork in the middle of the class and spook your horse. (Yes, it’s happened!)

How you deal with the missteps is what matters.

If you correct the problem as best you can, and toss it over your shoulder for thought later, you can finish your performance with confidence.  Maintaining poise is your secret weapon, and is always noticed by judges and trainers alike.

Keep the communication going to the horse who’s going through it with you. Don’t leave his brain unattended.

 

Sportsmanship

While horse showing, you’re always trying to be a better horseperson than you were yesterday. Remember that everyone around you is as well.

People from fellow barns are trying to improve their skills.

Congratulate fellow competitors and speak to them in the lineup after the judge has walked the lineup.

Always, always, clap for everyone.

Accept the judge’s decision with a relaxed face especially when it wasn’t the decision you were hoping for.  These are hard moments.

Kindness

Showing horses is hard.

Riders enter the ring on a big animal and ASK to be judged. That takes confidence and bravery.

Please congratulate fellow riders when you see them with ribbons.

If someone has a tough ride, offer encouragement for the next one.

Tell other riders that you enjoyed watching them ride.

If you see a show outfit that catches your eye, tell the rider that you like it.

The smallest thing can make someone’s day, especially in the exciting world of showing horses.

Let’s have a successful 2026 show season, both in and out of the ring.

 

What’s Coming Up?

Our Online Woodwear Store is Open!

Through April 22

You can select from a broad assortment of Knollwood gear, and shop from home.

The academy performance is Saturday at 10:00 AM.

 

See you soon at the barn, or at the in-gate!

Let’s face it, some of our lesson horses are really funny.

We all know that Bilbo was a stand up comedian in a former life, and that, according to the academy campers, Bee was meant to be a bartender in New Jersey named Betty.

They told us their April Fools Jokes, and we think you'll agree with most of their ideas.

The biggest group of lesson horses to band together is ‘the nappers.’

You know, they’re the one whose afternoons ignore rule #1, which is ‘No napping after grooming.’

Earl, Fred, Hugo, Pumpkin, Sherman and Vaughn would stand at attention for the entire afternoon. We’d all know something was up.

‘Wayward Thomas’ would trot directly to his stall from the pasture.

Sparky would trot in to his stall, and not trot around the barn, or out to the ‘big’ pasture to relive his glory days.

Leon would TRY to be disagreeable in the arena.

Poppy would extend peace and love to all her co-workers. No blinkers required.

Sport would just say no to taffy.

Beau would trot like the wind in the arena.

Bee would perform finals level patterns with patience.

 

Whatever you're up to today, we hope it's full of Spring fun!

 

 

What’s Coming Up?

Happy Easter!

We’re closed this Sunday, and lessons have been rescheduled.
