Special delivery!!!! Brand new CWD Saddles make us super excited for the fall season!!
Even Piper Leigh gazes at it longingly.

Huge thank you to the CWD Team @cwd_usa_can_official and Michelle Kirsch @17_hands for ensuring my butt is well supported 😂 I’ve been riding in CWD saddles for 15 years. Many have tried to convert me- non have been successful.

Updated footing at Dolcetto Farm

It was a big week at home where the PL Team got to play on our recently updated footing at Dolcetto Farm!! We extend all our gratitude to The Giorgios for constantly ensuring the farm is perfect for our horses.

Over Achiever

19 year old, 16.1 3/4WB Gelding.

Charly has lots and lots of show experience that makes him the ultimate veteran. He has a huge stride and automatic lead change. He is the perfect candidate to guide you around the 2’6” and 2’9” hunters. He is still jumping 3’ but is looking for a step down job as he ages. Asking Low/mid 5 figures.
