Three cheers for Joyce Brown an extraordinary person and long-time instructor at Carlisle! She’s featured here in our spotlight series.

We had a wonderful day for our Annual Harvest Horse Show, Sunday Nov 2nd. We offered a bit of everything from walk/trot for newcomers to Hunt Seat classes and Prix Caprilli for Pony Club members. Families and friends also enjoyed watching Para-Dressage and 2nd Level Dressage tests to round out the day.

Special thanks to Pony Club for providing refreshments and to our fantastic judge Laura Mitchell who offered great feedback and made the learning accessible and fun!

We are pleased to welcome Mary Jordan to the coaching staff at Carlisle Academy! Mary is a long-time trainer and competitor in both dressage and para-dressage. She is a USDF Silver medalist and most recently became a USEF Para-Dressage Silver-Level Coach. She and her special mount Rubicon still travel the seaboard attending clinics and shows, and Carlisle students will benefit from her years of experience and education.
