everyday is valentine’s day when your pony is the love of your life. we wanted to do a special shout out to Tricia and her horse, DJ. DJ was just 3 years old when he entered Tricia’s life and at 31 years old, he earned his wings and crossed the rainbow bridge. nothing is more beautiful than a horse and rider pair that are life long partners. through good and bad, they are by our side always. we love this story and our hearts go out to Tricia💕
💕Pony love story of the day is about Kara and Storm. “Storm is my lease. I was introduced to him by my trainer Jill Bowden almost exactly 2 years ago. I had a 7 year break from riding and got back into it slowly, and Storm was such a perfect match that we’ve been partners since our first ride. He taught me how to be confident as a rider and helped me get into hunter/jumpers, he got me to my first show and we’ve been to many since with success in the jumper classes. Every time I ride, he teaches me something new. He has been so patient with me, I can’t help but feel seriously lucky to have such an amazing equine friend in my life. Aside from our rides together, he has such a sweet and goofy personality it’s impossible not love him!” Seems like a great team to us!💕

💕Today’s pony love story is about Nancy and Basilio. After years of loving and admiring horses, Nancy jumped right in and decided to take lessons. Basilio, a lovable goofball Fresian, is one of her favorites that has taken care of her and taught her so many of the things she knows today. She loves him endlessly and by the look in his eye, we think he feels the same! Nancy is grateful and beyond thankful for every minute spent with Basilio, whether hanging out and grooming, or learning something new on his back!💕
💕Today’s special pony love story is about Brianna and Nick. Nick was found at an IEA show in the middle of November by Brianna’s trainer. He was an OTTB and at only 5 years old was packing around young teens in a flat class without a care in the world. After trying him at the barn and him saving her over some fences, her grandfather looked at her mom and said ‘this horse is going to be something special’. A little before Christmas time, he was all hers! 5 years later and Nick has been one of the best things that has ever happened to Brianna. He reminds her every day of how lucky she is, not only to have fell in love with him but the fact that her grandfather did as well. He has been her diamond in the rough taking her from the children’s hunter divisions to the 3’ amateur adults. He’s given her the confidence she needed in the ring. Never could she have imagined a little thoroughbred could have so much impact on her life in so many ways 💕

💕Next pony love story is Lillian and her heart horse, Tango. While working at a barn on the Vineyard, this little mustang mare walked right into Lillian’s life. From day one she felt a connection with this little wild thing. After deciding to take part in a 3 day clinic to help figure Tango out, Lillian fell head over heals and decided Tango had to be hers. A little bit of begging and a 3 page letter to her former owner later...and that’s history! Lillian will spend the rest of Tango’s days making her as happy as she possibly can. Whether that’s jumping around a jumper course, galloping around bare back or early morning massages and snuggles💕
💕To celebrate the week of Valentine’s Day, the Eq Shop team is going to be sharing stories about each of their (horse) loves of a lifetime💕 And we’re starting with the boss lady herself and her beautiful Canadian Thoroughbred, Melody... Melody was purchased by Monique’s mother when on the hunt for a horse for her student. Melody was picked up when she was just a yearling, but when Monique moved back to Massachusetts, her and 4 year old Melody hit it off and Melody and Monique started their partnership. Although they dabbled in dressage and mostly hunter/jumpers, some of Monique’s most memorable and beloved moments with Melody were at the Myopia Hunter Pace and spending sunny days at Crane’s Beach ❤️
