A huge shoutout to our high-performance athlete, for her remarkable accomplishments this past weekend at WEC!

“What an incredible weekend in Ocala! All three boys were absolute stars.
Glenny was fantastic both days in the 3*, finishing 3rd in both classes with a standout 68% in the Special. Dobby delivered two solid Grand Prix tests, finishing 2nd and 1st. I was especially proud of how much he’s matured—both in the ring and throughout the show. Matteo’s first overnight was a complete success, and I couldn’t be prouder of how confidently he handled a brand-new environment
Huge thank you to .michelle011 for her dedication to keeping the boys happy and in top form. for the exceptional coaching. Always keeping the horses and me in sync and moving forward as a team. So grateful to an incredibly talented and kind human who keeps me feeling strong, confident, and competition-ready. And of course, thank you to the best husband. From grazing horses to washing the whites, I truly couldn’t do this crazy life without you …And if you heard any dogs barking their heads off in the hotel... it definitely wasn’t mine!”

It has truly been an honor to work closely with Chase. Her success is no coincidence; it stems from her unwavering dedication and commitment. She shows up three times a week, fully prepared to tackle her weaknesses in the saddle in the gym. Chase understands that with hard work comes results, and she consistently puts in the effort to ensure her achievements reflect that.

Congrats Chase, bring on 2026 😮‍💨

I’d like to introduce one of our high-performance Canadian athletes, .brent 🇨🇦

We have only been working together for a few short months, and I cannot wait to help her achieve her dreams here in Florida.

Not only do we have the opportunity to work closely together, but her new mount, Stormy River, will also be stabled with our team this season in Florida.

What an absolute honor it is to help an athlete achieve her goals on such a special horse!

Safe travels, Stormy!! See you soon!

Thank you ✨

I’m feeling incredibly grateful for all our athletes and followers today!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of traveling across the GTA to meet with riders from various disciplines.

Every one of our HS athletes gives their all in every session, and I truly admire your hard work, determination, and dedication.

This month has been our biggest yet🔥

Welcoming six new HS athletes! It’s exciting to see a diverse mix of disciplines: jumper, polo, western, and dressage.

My dream has always been to make a meaningful difference in our industry and support as many athletes as possible.

It was an absolute honor to sponsor the Canadian Women’s Open Polo for the second year in a row.

Thank you, Molly and Emily, for organizing such an incredible event. A special thanks to Tara for capturing moments that will last a lifetime.

I also want to express my gratitude to Team Halt Square for proudly representing our logo with teamwork and sportsmanship.

I look forward to supporting the tournament again next year and exploring new ways to assist all players in 2026

🌟 Put Your Soul into Something That Makes Other People’s Lives Better 🌟

A massive shoutout to our incredible athletes for their hard work and dedication! When I started Halt Square, I could never have imagined the positive impact we would have on both riders and their horses.

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW**

“Meg was recommended to me, and during our very first session, I quickly realized how good she is! She has taught me so much—helping me build the strength and awareness that is significantly improving my riding. I look forward to every session; her motivation, attention to detail (she doesn’t miss a thing!), and fun personality are the highlights of my week and have become essential to my overall training program. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about being the best they can be for their horse. Thank you, Meg!”

Thank you, Cathy! ☺️

Our sport is indeed challenging, and having a strong support system is crucial for success. If you’re ready to take your riding to the next level and experience the transformation that Cathy and many others have, I invite you to join our community at Halt Square.

HS Athlete 🔥

I’m thrilled to share that Jessica received reserve high points at her show this past weekend! 🥹

Her dedication has truly shone through, as she committed to two sessions a week with me, along with solo workouts and daily mobility and stretching routines. Achieving real change in riding requires grit, and Jessica has faced both physical and mental challenges along the way. Each time she encountered obstacles, she reached out for guidance, and our team worked together and found effective solutions.

She’s now pain-free and feeling the strongest she’s ever felt in the saddle, which is significantly enhancing her performance.

I cannot wait to conduct a video analysis comparing her past performances to her latest show. 😈

Congratulations, Jess, on your hard work and well-deserved success! 🔥

HS ATHLETE shoutout

I had to repost 🔥 Athlete Chase continues to improve weekly. We adjust her program after each show. Going into the next week, we know what we need to work on before she’s back in the ring.

Highlights of this test ⬇️
⭐️ less tight
⭐️ Felt strong but relaxed

“Dobby was excellent today, winning his GP class!
I’m really happy with his progress week after week. big thank you to my team! .michelle011 for being Dobby’s emotional support human and helping him shine inside and out! Chris, thank you for the fantastic coaching and support, as always! for keeping Dobby feeling his best for pushing me to be a better athlete and for always being there!
Dobby’s journey has been such a
rewarding experience, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”

Chase’s hard work and dedication to her performance will give her a competitive edge. Proud coach 🙋🏼‍♀️

Just give it up.

It’s never going to happen.

I have been told this for 10 years, ever since I lost my heart horse, Edie. I was living my dream riding Everybody’s Darling until I tragically lost her. Every horse girl knows the high you get from that one-in-a-million horse, a feeling you will do almost anything to feel again.

I’ve had huge setbacks and heartbreaks ever since losing her, but I’ve never given up.

1. I will ride in the international ring again

2. I will create a business that supports ALL riders and gives them solutions and confidence while they chase their dreams.

I stand firmly against exclusion, bullying, and unkindness. I’ve felt this for many years, and I want to make an impact in this industry. We are all chasing the same goal, so we should be kind and support one another.

Today, I am living my dream.

I am flying to Denmark and cannot wait to share my journey with you all.

This is your reminder: BE COMMITTED.

It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, Go get it.

HS ATHLETE

What a weekend for our HS Athletes 🔥

“Matteo was an absolute superstar in his U.S. debut! Winning his class despite the heat. I’m beyond grateful to have a horse like him.”

Chase and I have been working together for almost a year now, and the changes in her riding have blown me away. Her riding was stunning before, but if you’re a rider, you know the smallest things matter most. A slight external rotation of one foot, sitting slightly to the right, collapsing in one hip or leaning back can affect your performance substantially.

I can’t wait to see this partnership grow, along with Chase’s other two mounts 🐴🐴 Thank you Chase, for being a fantastic athlete.

Rupert is the definition of a true athlete,
Our sessions together aren’t easy. His programming is meant to highlight weaknesses in the saddle and strategically target and strengthen them.

Training a jumper rider is VERY different than a dressage rider. You must find a trainer who knows the difference in disciplines and what’s needed from your body to better your performance. Precision is key, as there is little room for error in the ring. If you're aiming to adjust your riding position or break a habit, it's essential to focus on rebuilding your muscle memory until these changes become instinctive.

HS ATHLETE

Huge congratulations to HS Athlete Lori on completing two GP tests this past weekend!

“Very satisfying first show of the season at Global. Goals were to ride my best and enjoy my beautiful Flirt. ✔️and ✔️. Earned over 65% both days in the national Grand Prix. Super thrilled with this. Thank you coach extraordinaire, James Irwin, as well as sponsor and friend Anna Di Rezze. Would not have been able to have these amazing experiences without you guys and, of course, my love, Denis. Picture credit to Horse Sport.”

Lori was also awarded “Best Hands”

“Thank you so much to Neue Schule and Johnny Robb for the award of “Best Hands” at the Global Dressage Festivial 5. This is such an honour to be recognized for. And a tribute to coach James Irwin for continuously guiding me towards a softer, kinder hand and rein contact, directly benefitting the well being of my horses.”

I have looked up to Lori since I met her 12 years ago. Her work ethic is unlike anyone I have ever met, and her determination to ride the best she possibly can shows in everything she does. Huge congratulations, Lori. I can’t wait to see what this season brings for you and Flirt!
