We recently looked at a roster of our lesson horses from way back in 2009, and we realized how fortunate we’ve been to work with such kind and memorable steeds. Many of them are no longer with us, but a few of the gems are still here and contributing to the future of the industry.

We’ve been reflecting about what makes these horses so special.

 

Lesson horses must like people, especially small ones.

Most of our new riders are between the ages of 4 and 12, so beginner horses will be spending a lot of time with wee ones. Gentle bits help these kind souls teach kids to steer and post while maintaining their metronome trot. In the stall, these people-loving souls enjoy small children brushing the parts they can reach, allow their small riders to tack them, and enjoy hugs. Lots of them.

 

These horses must be resilient.

In addition to beginner lessons, they’ll also be the first bareback horses for many of our riders. They’ll put their tiny trots to use teaching riders to stay in the middle as they build strength and confidence. They’ll carry little people and adults if they’re big enough.

Sometimes, they even get to play games with experienced riders, and are asked to do things out of their daily routine, like dress up as a clown for Halloween!

 

 

These horses must be kind and friendly.

These grand souls are usually a rider's introduction to Knollwood, and possibly to horses. Beginner horses must enjoy meeting new people and working with helpers right at their side.

 

 

These horses must be honest.

Beginner horses are incredibly predictable. While not perfect, we’re pretty sure what our lesson stars will do in most situations. Their focus frees them of original thought while working at their job.

 

 

 

 

What’s Important In An Academy Horse?

Our academy horses take our riders to competitions around the Midwest where they compete against riders from other professionally run lesson programs. These wonderful horses are Saddlebreds and Morgans, and LOVE their travel schedules.

Academy horses must be confident.

While teaching riders how to show, these horses must know the ropes. We have several entry level academy stars who can pretty much do a class on their own if a nervous rider forgets some skills. These boys have been there, done that, and enjoy every step at the show.

 

 

Academy horses must know their patterns.

Championship and pattern classes at shows require individual work, so the academy stars must be pros at circles, half circles, and straight lines. Most of our academy horses are pretty darn smart, and actualy enjoy the challenge of patterns as much as the riders do.

 

 

Academy horses must be great listeners.

Sometimes, show rings get loud. Really loud.

Our academy horses have to stay focused on their rider, no matter what’s going on in the ring, or what the noise level might be. Academy horses offer challenges. As riders advance their skills, we have the horse to meet them, and challenge them. Scott and Carol even have a separate set of lesson horses for riders who have advanced to riding with them, These horses have show horse minds, and will always challenge the strong, experienced, well taught rider.

 

 

 

What’s Not Important in A Lesson Horse?

Physical beauty 

Let’s face it, while we have some horses who could win a modeling contest, we also have some who are quite plain, and a couple who are almost funny looking. We’re looking for kind, patient solid horse citizens in whatever package that brain comes in.

 

Intelligence 

While some of our horses are equine geniuses, some of our horses have a hard time remembering what day it is, or that there are doors in the arena in the same place as yesterday. They don’t all have to make eye contact with the instructor before giving a rider the wrong lead like Klem does, they just have to be safe and kind.

 

 

A Specific Breed 

Yes, our academy level and above horses are all registered American Saddlebreds or Morgans. However, the roster of our tried and true beginner horses reads like a roster of horse breeds. Jelly and Bilbo are Hafflingers, Fred is a quarter horse, Pony Frank is a mixture of all the good ponies in the world, Pumpkin is half Morgan and half Connemara Pony, and Honey Bee is a Hackney Pony. Duke, Hugo, and Vaughn are saddlebreds, and many of the boys are mixes of various breeds. They’re all great characters who teach many people to enjoy horses.

 

 

Over the years, we’ve loved many, many great lesson horses. While you may not have ever met Indy, Brinkley, Dudley, Louie, Tony, Trigger or Zeus, they were all grand, and taught skills to many riders showing today.

We’re grateful for all the Knollwood lesson horses who have worked with us. They’ve all shared the same qualities that make our current roster so great.

Next time you’re at the barn, hug a lesson horse or two!

IASPHA Spring Show

April 15-16

Beyond Stable Farm, Woodstock, IL

The first show of the 2023 season!!

 

 

 

 

See you soon at the barn!!!

Team Knollwood just finished the 2022 show season, and what a time we had.

Our academy team stayed pretty close to home, and traveled to 11 shows from April to November.

Our show horses traveled far and wide from Louisville to Kansas City with lots of stops along the way.

We had a ball.

 

 

 

 

After a little time to relax, refuel, and get all the laundry done, we’re ready for the offseason.

As usual, we have big plans for the months ahead.

 

Master Ken of Knollwood has many, many plans for repairs and improvements as his continues his adventures of keeping the barns and everything around them looking fabulous. Is there anything Ken can’t do? We sure haven’t found it.

 

This is when Team Knollwood prepares for next year.

Off season is the time for Mattonizing. Scott,  Carol, and Lin will spend the home season getting some young show horses ready for their debuts next year, will equitate some horses, and will continue polishing and improving others.

It’s also time for the show team to teach on overdrive. Big progress is made when the travel schedule is light, and some of the lease horses are off lease until February or so. The ‘lesson library’ is enlarged for the show barn riders, and progress is amazing.

Always looking ahead, the show barn team is busy putting new combinations together, planning  new lease teams, and looking for horses. Of course, they’re selling horses, too!

 

On the Academy Side?

Our lessons continue pretty much non-stop. We’re always running introductory classes in addition to our daily private lessons.

We’re currently enjoying some fun times with games on horseback, and are looking forward to an off season of strengthening riders’ muscles and minds. The winter is full of patterns, learning new skills, and moving up the ladder of lesson horses. It’s an exciting time in the school barn, and we love it.

We’re preparing for next academy season by holding parent meetings with each of our showing families. Yup, we’re making plans for shows and setting goals for 2023 already.

 

We like to mix celebrations with accomplishment.

A week from now, The Knockouts are holding an election to select a new management team and board for 2023. Of course, this will take place at their holiday party, which Covid had eliminated for the past  2 years.

How great it’s going to be to see all the Knockouts running (and we mean running) around the farm on their team scavenger hunt before they settle into seats to enjoy a pizza dinner to listen to campaign speeches before they vote for Knockout board members.

 

The celebration continues in February as we all gather at the Legend at Merrill Hills for our first in-person banquet since 2019.  Everything we’ve loved about banquets at Bristlecone will be there, thanks to master party planner Susan.

A great buffet dinner, awards, words of wisdom from Scott and Susan, a slide show to relive the fun of 2022, and a DJ to dance the night away.

We hope everyone will join the celebration of all things Knollwood.

 

Please join us for our exciting off season when we progress in skills, strength, and try to improve our ability to communicate with our horses.

Rest assured, a few things will never waver. Our lesson horses will be living their best lives and getting fat over the winter, our show horses will live their best lives and remain real athletes, and Scott? He’ll be shoeing horses in all weather.

 

What’s Coming Up?

 

Gift Certificates are On Sale!

From now through December 31, you can purchase any amount of gift certificates and receive 10% off when you use promo code ‘Holiday2023’ at checkout on our website, WWW.KnollwoodFarmLTD.com

See you soon at the barn!

 

 

  

While the show barn was enjoying a somewhat relaxing week after the Royal, our academy team finished up the show season for 2022, and had a blast doing it. We competed at the UPHA Turkey Trot show, and really enjoyed the facility that kept us toasty warm while the weather outside was far from ideal.

Judge Mary Lou Mann Carrick came all the way from South Carolina to preside over many academy classes packed with talented riders.

Team Knollwood was there with 10 riders of a diverse level of experience. Cece and Baxter dominated the walk, trot and canter classes on Friday night.

On Saturday, Bella and Kelsey made their show ring debuts, and rode like riders with far more experience. Adalyn and Addison competed in her second show, and rode far above their experience. In fact, Adalyn won several classes, and Addison won the green championship!

The horses were amazing. We took the all star line up of Baxter, Beau, Eddie, Klem, Leon and Thomas to assist our less experienced riders, and they did a bang up job. We think Baxter was smiling the whole time, and Klem was making eyes at all the ladies in center ring.

Congratulations to our riders, their families who cheered everyone on, and to the best lesson horses in the world.

 

Coming Up?

 

We’re not holding lessons on Thursday, November 24. Your instructor has probably already arranged a makeup for that day. If not, they’ll be in touch shortly.

z

In closing, we consider ourselves fortunate to work with such wonderful students, families, and horses. Team Knollwood is a diverse group of horse loving people who come together to enjoy the beautiful horses in our lives, and to support each other in our adventures.

We are grateful for each and every member, whether they be human, equine, canine, or feline. We’re all in this together.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

Team Knollwood’s show horses are enjoying a relaxing week after returning from the UPHA American Royal National Championship Horse Show. The event is steeped in tradition, having started in 1905 with the help of prominent horse trainer Tom Bass.

Today, the show is home to National Championships in many divisions, the UPHA Classic Championships for three-year-olds, and the last of the two equitation finals that comprise the triple crown of equitation.

Team Knollwood was in the thick of competition, and we sure have stories to tell!

 

Tori Loves Stella, and Stella Loves Tori

This mutual admiration society continued their dream season at the Royal. After watching them in the ring, you’d never imagine that it was their first year showing together.

The beautiful bay mare and calm, cool, collected Tori used the ring like they owned the place, and came away with good ribbons in a ring full of champions like themselves.

 

 

 

Margit And ‘Her Boys’

Few people ride horses with as much obvious joy as Margit, and she was a pleasure to watch in Kansas City.

Margit and Robert, who is officially known as Rosewood’s Homecoming Dance, pulled off a great ribbon in the national championship in a ring of titled competitors.

Robert is part of our lease program, and he and Margit have become an amazing team.

Margit also showed her heart horse, Charlie, who is officially known as CH Ken Follett. They racked and trotted their way to great ribbons in both their qualifier and the national championship class in junior exhibitor 5 gaited show pleasure.

 

 

Our Rookie Equitation Riders

Brooklyn and Maiya were showing in the academy division at this time last year. This November they were at the American Royal, competing for national titles.

Maiya, who leases Riddle, officially known as Who’s on First, showed like a seasoned pro and finished 5^th in the junior national championship after making the top 10 in the UPHA junior challenge cup national final. That’s a long way away from the academy ring!

Brooklyn, who has become quite a team with her horse Gamora, just couldn’t be stopped last week. She made top 10 in the UPHA junior challenge cup, won her 13 and under equitation qualifier, and finished reserve in the junior equitation national championship.

We’re so proud of these horse girls!

 

Our Senior Equitation Stars

Barn mates Payton and Richie made us proud in senior equitation, while showing on the young end of the age group.  Payton is competing as a 15-year-old while Richie is enjoying his first year in seniors.

Payton and her dynamite mare Gigi are a team that just belong together. They’re exciting, a little on the edge, and you just can’t take your eyes off them.

In only their first year together, they made top ten in ALL of the triple crown finals, and won the ASHA National Championship of Pleasure equitation.

It’s hard to believe that they’ll be better after an off season of training, but we know they will be.

 

 

Richie was pretty much the king of KC last week.

He started the show catch riding a gaited pony for Clark Clouse, a trainer from Kentucky. Richie went to the show early (and missed an extra day of school) so he could ride the pony before he showed him.

Richie looked like he had known Crossing the Rubicon forever, and won his class.

 

Richie and Queen Leila, officially known as Brookhill’s Passion Punch, finished in the top 10 of the USEF Medal Final, and finished third in the UPHA Senior Challenge Cup National Final.

He also debuted on his new equitation horse, Doc, in the equitation qualifier for riders 14 and 15 years old. He and Reedann’s Dark Mystery had a confident first class, and even won it.

 

Finn and Jade Top it Off

Team Knollwood enjoyed a wonderful week at the Royal, and Finn topped it off at the final performance. She and Jade, officially known as Riverdream’s Masquerade, finished as reserve national champions in the amateur 5 gaited stake. The amateur 5 gaited division is one of he toughest ones out there, and this is quite a feat for the former equitation star and her charismatic mare. What a thrill!

 

After a week to relax and reflect on the 2022 show season, we’ll be back preparing for 2023.

 

 

 

 

What’s Coming Up?

See you soon at the barn, or at the ingate!

 

 

 

And you thought yesterdays elections were tight!

Let the campaigning for Knollwood’s School Horse of the Year election begin.

 

 

Hi everyone, Baxter here.

As you know, I’m the 2021 school horse of the year at Knollwood, a very coveted title.

First of all, a little about me. Both of my parents were world champions, so I come from a very good family.

I adore being a lesson horse, and every day is a good day to be me.

Some of my favorite things are:

   Going to academy horse shows

   Mints

  Teaching new riders the way of a Saddlebred

  Going out with by group of friends known as ‘The Grand Geldings.’

 

A little bit about the election.

First of all, the powers that be have taken away our internet access, so you will not be receiving any calls or texts about the election. We’re not allowed to leave the farm, and we’re not sure we could find our ways home, so we will not be knocking on your doors.

 

Here’s how to vote!

The election for the 2022 winner begins on December 1.  Knockouts will receive a ballot when they renew their membership, or when they join for the first time. The Knockouts always welcome new members, and they’d love to have you.

You can place your vote in the ballot box which will be guarded once again by Richmond of Knollwood.

Votes will be tallied, and winner will be announced with their very own video at the Knockout banquet on February 18.

Campaign posters and videos are welcomed for your favorite candidate. If you send your videos to Ann, she’ll post them on Knollwood’s social media.

 

Here are some of my endorsements:

Fred

Fred flies under the radar.

He’s brown, really brown. He’ll do his classic jog trot when he feels like it, and walk when he feels like it. He also naps a lot in his sunny stall.

He loves to play games on horseback, and becomes a fierce competitor for any game.

He never has a mean word to say about anyone, and gets along with everyone outside.

 

Jelly

Jelly can do it all.

He’s funny looking, and has a great sense of humor.

He trots a mean serpentine, likes to teach new pattern riders, and occasionally likes to let the steering give out.

He never runs out of energy, and will do anything from Tiny Tot lessons to pattern camp.

 

Klem

Klem is amazing.

He’s handsome, shaped like a sausage, and is never at a loss for words.

He likes to going to academy shows and meeting new people, and loves talking to judges and center ring officials.

He loves lessons at home, especially teaching wee riders to canter on his preferred lead, of course.

He loves challenging more advanced pattern riders, teaching them patience and follow through.

Oh, and he LOVES pattern camp in the big outdoor ring!

 

Leon

Officially known as Keep the Change, Sir, Leon is known around the barn as Dear, Sweet, Leon.

He’s handsome, friendly, and is incredibly patient. He’s way more patient than I am.

Leon specializes in teaching small riders to canter, and his canter has been described to me as ‘cloudlike.’

And those eyes…

 

Pumpkin

 

Just barely meeting the residence requirements, Pumpkin has quickly become a favorite.

You can’t get this guy upset.

Pumpkin has learned his patterns well, and is perfecting his canter.

He’s so buff.

Pumpkin loves everyone. Even his crabby next door neighbor Duke.

 

Thomas

Stuck with the official name of Fort Chiswell’s Aristocrat, Thomas is a dream.

He’s been to 9 academy shows this season, the most of any horse.

Thomas is SMOOTH.

Thomas has his very own Freedmans saddle pad. And he won’t let anyone borrow it.

He’s great friends with his next neighbor and fellow endorsee, Leon.

 

 

What’s Coming Up?
