Happy Birthday PL & Congratulations to the team on a super 2025 season!

PL opened for business just 4 years ago. We’ve been fortunate to call Dolcetto Farm our home since February 2023. It’s been an incredible process, building and growing the team, sourcing and pairing lovely horses with our wonderful clients, developing the partnerships and setting goals. This season as a whole was amazing. The team garnered multiple championships all year long. Everyone met their goals and qualified for all finals.
This was the first year the team participated at indoors. The results were spectacular and reflected all the hard work and passion we share for this sport and our horses. We love the horse, first. It shows.
My sincere congratulations to everyone on Team PL. My heart is full reflecting on all your wins and I cannot wait to help you meet new goals next year! It’s my privilege and pleasure. Next up ➡️ Florida 2026. Contact us if you’d like to be part of Team PL!

Privileged & Proud!

Back in Virginia after 6 Weeks in Florida

Now that we are safely back in Virginia after 6 weeks in Florida, I want to take a moment to talk about the team! None of this is possible without our amazing team. I want to wholeheartedly every one of you who contributes to our success.

Special mention to Victor Piña, who kept the horses and Farm at home in top shape while we went to Florida. Also to Taylor O’Connor who joined us this season teaching while Brett traveled south.

Thank you to Sue Jarboe, who kept us laughing and smiling through the chaos that was winter circuit.

Thank you to our fantastic customers for their support and trust.

And thank you to our vets, farriers, braiders, and therapy specialists who keep our horses happy and healthy.

Congratulations Grace and Rachel!

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we congratulate Grace and Rachel Holt on their new partnership with ‘My Type’! Bowie will be missed by the PL family, but we are thrilled that he found such a loving new home!

Special thanks to Angela Bollinger of Oak View Equestrian.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sue

the Hamel Equitation Championship

This week we tackled age group equitation and the Hamel Equitation Championship at the National Horse Show. Irene set this championship as a target when we started working together in May. After a summer of hard work, she rode beautifully and completed technical courses. Congratulations, Irene. It was a year of growth. We can’t wait to attack next years goals with you and Sven! Special thanks to the entire PL family that watched and supported us from VA! Also a thank you to our sponsors and support staff! It takes a village.
