At the end of this month, we will say goodbye to an era. Over the last 39 years, Reddemeade has been more than a great place to ride. It has been a community, a family - a HOME to hundreds of us. But now that chapter of our lives is closing.

We can all remember the school horses that touched our lives - from that first trot or canter, first fall, first jump, to the one who insistently taught you the outside rein or the meaning of true contact. We learned not just how to ride effectively, but to control our bodies and our emotions. We learned how to put another being’s needs before our own. We learned how to open up to a new horse, and how to let go of an old friend.

In addition to that we built lifelong friendships, inspired generations of true horsemanship and caring for others, and built memories to last our lifetimes. I am speechless to consider the number of professional riders that trace their paths through these doors. I recall the number of friends we’ve all made, both human and equine! I think of the number of horses and people who have been changed for the better by being part of the family here at Reddemeade.

Goodbyes are never easy, and we wish this one could be postponed indefinitely. Jane and Paul have built a Legacy that will live on inside each of us. We at Reddemeade THANK YOU all, from the bottoms of our hearts, for being part of Our Journey, Our Story, Our Legacy. The next chapter is each of ours to build, as we hold Reddemeade inside us and strive to continue to build the Legacy that is Loving horses and Loving each other through everything we do!
