Firefly Equestrian

✨ Welcome to the Firefly family, Autumn & Andi! ✨

We’re SO excited to officially welcome Autumn and her horse, Andi, to the Firefly Equestrian family! 🥕🤍🐴

Autumn has been riding since she was just 4 years old, and now, as an 8th grader, she and Andi are already quite the team! They currently compete at the Training level in eventing and have traveled all over the country together - from Ocala and Kentucky to California for the 2025 American Eventing Championships! 🤩

Autumn and Andi are joining us with a goal of strengthening their dressage work and improving their scores in the dressage phase, while continuing to sharpen their jumping under the guidance of our Head Trainer, Sarah Doney. We’re so excited to help this talented pair fine-tune their skills and continue working toward their eventing goals!

We can already tell these two love a good adventure, and we’re so happy their next one includes Firefly. We can’t wait to watch them ride, learn, grow, and have a whole lot of fun along the way!

Please help us give Autumn & Andi a BIG Firefly welcome! 🥕🤍 We’re so happy you’re here!

✨Meet Madissen Larson , the newest member of the Firefly team!✨

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Madissen, one of our wonderful new barn managers! 🐴❤️

With more than 12 years of riding experience, Madissen brings a genuine, lifelong love of horses to our community. Her favorite discipline is Western riding - especially reining and she is happiest outdoors with horses by her side.

When she isn’t helping care for our horses and keeping things running smoothly around the barn, Madissen works in life insurance and enjoys life as the proud dog mom of two pups.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have someone so kind, hardworking and genuinely horse-crazy on the Firefly team. If you see Madissen around the barn, please introduce yourself and help us make her feel right at home!

Welcome to Firefly, Madissen! We’re so excited you’re here!

✨ Meet Paige ✨

We’re excited to officially welcome to the Firefly team this summer!

Paige has been involved with horses for more than 20 years and brings a unique combination of equestrian experience, intelligence, and compassion to our team. She recently earned her graduate degree in Neuroscience in Canada and is continuing her work in neuroscience research, bringing the same thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to the barn that has helped her succeed academically.

As the owner of Zeus and one of the first boarders to join Firefly after we opened our doors, Paige has been part of our journey from the beginning. Throughout that time, she has consistently demonstrated a genuine love for horses and an unwavering commitment to their care and well-being.

What stands out most about Paige is the way she cares for every horse she encounters. Whether she’s helping with daily barn operations or spending time with the horses in our program, she treats each one as if it were her own - with patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness.

When she’s not at the barn or in the lab, you’ll likely find her hiking with her dogs, scuba diving with her family, or exploring Austin with friends.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have Paige on the team and know she’ll care for every horse entrusted to Firefly with the same love, dedication, and attention she gives her own. 🐴

🦋 Meet the Team: Jessenya 🦋

We’re excited to officially introduce Jessenya, Firefly Equestrian’s Barn Manager! 🐴

Originally from South Jersey, Jessenya moved to Texas after getting married and quickly developed a passion for animal care and agriculture. Her experience includes working with horses, goats, Jersey cattle, and Highland cattle, and she’s currently pursuing a Biology degree at Austin Community College with plans to continue on to veterinary school.

At Firefly, Jessenya helps ensure our horses receive the attentive, consistent care they deserve every day. From feeding and stall care to monitoring horse health and supporting daily barn operations, she plays an important role in keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

When she’s not at the barn, you’ll find her tending to her garden 🌿, enjoying softball and baseball ⚾️, and cheering on her beloved Philadelphia Phillies.

We’re grateful to have Jessenya as part of Team Firefly and can’t wait for our clients, riders, and horses to get to know her better. 🩶

Be sure to say hello and help us give her a warm Firefly welcome! ✨

Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible moms of Firefly Equestrian! 💐🐴

There’s something really special about horse moms. You somehow juggle careers, carpools, school pickups, muddy boots, horse hair, busy schedules, surprise rainstorms, and somehow still make it to the barn with snacks in hand and a smile on your face. ✨

What’s even more beautiful is watching so many of you choose this journey not only for your children, but for yourselves too. Some of you are raising brave little riders while others are rediscovering your own confidence, passion, and joy in the saddle after years of putting everyone else first.

Horses have a way of teaching all of us something important: resilience, patience, courage, connection, and how to keep showing up even when things feel hard. And the truth is, our riders learn so much of that from watching YOU.

Thank you for showing your children what commitment looks like. Thank you for showing up through the chaos of everyday life. Thank you for trusting us with your horses, your riders, and your hearts.

We truly have the most amazing barn moms, and Firefly Equestrian is better because of every single one of you. ✨💕

✨ Meet ✨

Some people walk into your barn and just raise the standard. Jadora is one of those people.

From Kyle, Texas, Jadora has been riding on and off since she was little, but what stands out most is her heart. She genuinely loves feeding and caring for the horses here at Firefly, and it shows in everything she does.

She is the kind of person who quietly keeps everything running. Always stepping in. Always helping. Always putting the horses first.

And here is what makes her story even more special.

We hired Jadora knowing her next chapter was already calling.

On May 26, she ships out to Camp Pendleton to join the United States Marine Corps as a General Engineer 🇺🇸

And in true Jadora fashion, she is doing life in a big way. She turns 21 on May 10 and celebrates one year of marriage the very same day.

She is building something meaningful now, gaining experience with a dream of owning her own barn or ranch one day. We have no doubt she will make that happen.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had this season with her. She has made a lasting mark on our horses, our team, and our community.

Be sure to give Jadora some love when you see her around the barn these next few weeks ✨

Once Firefly, always Firefly. 🐴💫

✨ Where It All Began… Begins Again.
Kentchurch Chime Legacy - Now at Firefly Equestrian. ✨

It’s with a bursting heart of joy that we are so excited to share…
we are the proud owners of Madoc Belle. 🥹💛

Madoc is where our story began.
Firefly Equestrian owners, Sarah and April, grew up riding at Madoc Farms - learning horsemanship, discipline, and what true quality feels like.

Over the years, we were lucky enough to own and love several Kentchurch Chime children who shaped us as riders and horsewomen.

And Madoc Belle…
She was born there too.

A Kentchurch Chime daughter, she carries the very same roots that shaped us.

Since her early days, she has been beautifully produced in Canada with and later in New York with - where she most recently stood atop the mountains of upstate New York.

And from there… over 1,700 miles trailered, we brought her home.

All the way to Austin, Texas.
To Firefly Equestrian.
To us.

To welcome Belle into our program feels incredibly full circle.
She represents our roots, our standards, and the kind of quality we are committed to building around.

Some horses are special.
Some are heritage.

This one is both.

Welcome home, Madoc Belle. 🦋💛

✨ Welcome Rommina & Revel HC ✨

We are beyond excited to officially welcome Rommina and her incredible partner, Revel HC, to the Firefly family! 🤍🐴

Revel HC is a stunning 10-year-old Iberian Warmblood (Andalusian x KWPN) standing proudly at 17hh. Bred in Mexico through Rommina’s own breeding program, he has been hers since he was just a baby and together they’ve traveled all over the country competing and growing as a team.

And not just competing but excelling.

Rommina and Revel are 🏆 USEF Horse of the Year 🏆🔝winners and accomplished competitors, bringing both talent and experience to our barn community. Their dedication to thoughtful training and high standards is something we deeply admire.

While they mainly play in the jumping world, Revel’s roots reflect something even more special. Rommina works with and manages a breeding operation just south of Arizona in Sonora, Mexico 🇲🇽 through Their program focuses primarily on developing high-quality dressage horses, while also exploring western, jumping, and eventing. Each horse is carefully developed and competed until they find their perfect home. 💖

We love welcoming horsewomen who bring both heart and horsemanship to the barn and we’re so excited to have this accomplished and inspiring pair join our community.

Please help us give Rommina and Revel HC a huge Firefly welcome! 👏
