*RIDER REFLECTIONS from A Day in May*
➡️Read reflections from .berliner_eq &

One of the best parts of hosting a clinic is hearing what riders take away from the experience. While every horse and rider combination is different, horsemanship always shines through.

Neil rode Lynne Gebhard's Miss Coconut, a talented, hardworking chestnut mare who gives her all every ride. His Day in May experience highlighted how good technique and thoughtful riding allow a horse to perform at its best,

Noah had the opportunity to ride three River Run Farm horses in the clinic- Savanta, Dori, and Blue. Each horse presented opportunities to learn. Neil noted watching the clinicians adapt the same exercises to suit each horse reinforced a lesson in horsemanship that he'll carry forward in his professional career.

Clinicians: Jimmy Lee, Paul Mathews, Steven Rivetts

Nydrie's "A Day in May" Clinic welcomed several off-the-track TBs, including Brenda E. Awad and her two OTTBs, Noble and Fairview ("Fairy").

During the clinic, she shared that she was looking forward to getting back to good basics and a positive direction for the furthering of her horses training. With conformation wisdom from Jimmy Lee & educational expertise from Jimmy, Paul & Steven, we were pleased to play a part in Brenda, Noble and Fairy's training success. And Fairy's fountain fun!

Involved in the hunter/jumper world for decades Brenda has a true passion for OTTBs. A past competitor at the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover in Lexington, Brenda has her sights set on returning this fall. We wish her all the best!

We welcomed many special guests for our Grand Opening Reception in May. Two of them were Van Cliefs, who were kind enough to take the time to share stories of their family's nearly 100-year custodianship of Nydrie. Swipe to hear DG and Court's memories and impressions. Stay tuned for a story from Danny Van Clief coming soon...

Some things look romantic until they start eating your brick.

Ivy may photograph beautifully, but left unchecked, it works its way into mortar joints, traps moisture, and slowly damages even the sturdiest masonry. So we got to work, and the difference speaks for itself.

Underneath all that green? Beautiful, red brick that deserves to be seen. The removal process required patience, careful cutting, pulling, and cleaning to protect the underlying surface, but the results are well worth the effort.

This was an important step in the restoration process, ensuring this property is cherished for generations to come.
