It's Easter Sunday, and you and your family are spending the spring afternoon hiking at a local state park. As you traverse the challenging terrain, you pause for a water break and glance at your cell phone to see the "No Service" message.

No worries, you think. After all, you've chosen to spend the day out in nature and outside of civilization.

Your horse, however, doesn't know that it's a holiday and that you're out of touch, and, unfortunately, he chooses this time to show signs of colic. Thankfully, the barn manager at your boarding stable walks by and catches him biting at his flanks. She immediately takes action, his vitals signs and then gives you a call.

 EMO Meet Our Client: The Jayne Family

Our Day Farm, founded by Alex and Linda Jayne more than 30 years ago in Elgin, Illinois, has grown and evolved into a family enterprise. All three of the Jayne children--Maggie, Charlie and Haylie--now work at the farm as professional riders and trainers.
 

Our Day Farm's program is deeply rooted in classic American style, focusing on a light forward seat, as well as fundamentals stemming from equitation. The knowledge Alex has accrued from the best horsemen of the past has now been passed down to this generation. This experience has allowed Our Day Farm to take horses and riders to the pinnacle of the sport.

Most recently, Charlie Jayne and Chill R Z, pictured above, won the Great American $1 million Grand Prix, held March 23 in Ocala, Florida. Our Day Farm is one of the only farms in the country that's currently sending horses to represent the United States in Nations Cups and international competitions while simultaneously winning at the top hunter shows in the country. Between Alex's 40 years of experience, Charlie's international record and Maggie and Haylie's training record, Our Day has created a program that's in a league of its own.

Alex, Maggie, Charlie and Haylie all contribute to the progress of the riders at Our Day Farm, and they each contribute their own strengths as horsemen to the improvement of horse and rider, which makes for a unique training atmosphere. In addition, Haylie's husband, Nate Rolfe, is an EMO Agency Field Agent.

Our Day Farm, which also has a winter base in Wellington, Florida, has been home to countless national champions in all three disciplines of hunters, jumpers and equitation. Their winning record includes titles at such shows as the Pennsylvania National, Washington (D.C.) International, National, Devon, Winter Equestrian Festival, Global Champions Tour and the Super League, to name a few.
