A Unique Team of Cincinnati Equestrians
Meghan Courtney, president of Courtney Equine Services and Andrea Huber, president of Legacy Farms collaborated in 2008 to begin a boarding and training program unlike any in the area.

Training, Show Coaching, Purchases and sales and hauling are a few of the many services offered by Courtney Equine Services;however, the service that sets Meghan apart from the rest is her certification with the American Society of Equine Appraisers. Meghan has been appraising horses for two years for purposes such as; charitable donations, tax deductions, Sales, etc…
Recently Courtney Equine Services was selected to receive the 2011 Best of Loveland Award in the Equestrian Equipment and Supplies category by the US Commerce Association. We are all very excited about this at Legacy. Farms! The press release can be found on the USCA website and will also be posted on www.courtneyequineservices.com
A True Story
Meghan’s water broke at the Regional’s show ground. Her baby girl was born at 3:53am and her girls were showing at 8:00am that same day. Sarah Corwin on Whimsey and Madison Bennet on Etonia rode all three days in the rain and cold with good standing. They were prepared and capable. It was a delight for me, their stand-in coach, to observe their success. Meghan is back on the job at Legacy Farm Ltd. coaching her students.
What a great job all. Good luck in 2012
The Program
Robert Dover told us all when he was here that we all need a program. We have one at Legacy Farm Ltd. that has been in place for three years. With multiple successes in schooling and recognized competition, we have put people and horses together. Full participation is the key to understanding a discipline that requires total communication.

Jillian and Ursula clean up at the show!
Jillian and Ursula had their best ride of the year at a local 4H show and won the most humongous trophy I have ever seen. It is over three feet tall. Boy, those 4H’ers sure know how to make a person feel special! They had the highest score at Training Level at the show. The next stop for the horse and rider is state. Good Luck!
Angel is sold!
Angel is sold. It looks like we found a great match of horse, rider, and trainer. Angel had just reached the point where she understood that riding is fun. For a little bit of work guarantees her lots of affection, treats, and grooming. Once a young horse figures what they get out of the relationship, they are so much easier to get working properly. Happy trails to all of them!
Enjoyable Dressage
One of the more common comments about watching dressage is that it is like watching paint dry. The biggest exception to this blanket statement about dressage is the freestyle competition. It is always a crowd favorite. Here is one of the best examples dressage freestyle that I have ever seen. The link below will take you to a video clip hosted on YouTube. Enjoy!!
