Team Belle
The Belles are young equestrians forming their futures in a positive and productive way. They represent themselves with class and dignity and are leaders in both the barn and the classroom. They are always learning proper horsemanship and enjoy helping others. The girls not only conduct themselves with exemplary sportsmanship at horse shows, but also maintain good grades in school. It is our hope that the Belle program will help these girls become leaders, who work hard and carry themselves with confidence and kindness while having FUN!

Seattle Lajoie:
Seattle is 8 years old. She is the original energizer bunny with endless energy, a dash of craziness, and a heart of gold. She is always on the go with sunglasses in hand. There is nothing she won't try from skiing to surfing - she loves adventure. Her true passions are horses & singing. You will often find her trotting around singing at the top of her lungs much to the dismay of her trainer. Seattle has always loved horses and spent time at the barn as a very young toddler watching her uncle ride and giving treats to the horses. She started taking lessons just before she turned 4. She was lucky enough to ride some gentle giants until we found a wonderful patient pony to lease. Seattle would like to be a vet and has participated in raising money for a local rescue where she got her mini, Prince. Last summer we purchased our lease - a tried and true pony who has done Pony Finals, been there done that, and was looking for his forever home. Fenway Public Gardens aka Tanner is a medium welsh pony that has taught many kids on both coasts. Tanner & Seattle have been a great team in cross-rails at the shows and jumping full courses at home. Secretly Seattle wants to do jumpers (just like her uncle). She likes to do tight turns and cut corners and Tanner happily obliges. For now, until she can convince her trainers, she is showing in the hunter ring. Seattle loves the barn and is happiest when she is covered in shavings grooming & feeding her ponies. You will find her zipping to and from the barn and the theater covered and smelling like horses.
