Integrity Equestrian

I know I’m a day late but happy new year and happy birthday to all JC registered thoroughbreds!

Because every “neat” moment you see in the ring - the clean flying change, the tidy rollback, the effortless distance - is built on a mountain of basics: rhythm, balance, straightness, clarity, repetition, and trust.

The real magic lives in the base of the pyramid - not the shiny bit at the top.

Advanced work only works when the foundations feel solid, repeatable, and understood by both horse and rider.
And that’s exactly what creates the horses who are genuinely 𝘧𝘶𝘯 to ride… the ones who jump easily, land balanced, turn like a dream, and both accelerate and wait when you ask.

So yes, I love riding the advanced stuff too.
But I love the basics more - 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦.

Happy Mothers Day to all moms, but especially to barn moms. And especially happy Mother’s Day to my mom, without whom Integrity Equestrian would not be possible, whose steadfast support empowered me to chase my dreams, and who put aside her own equestrian goals and dreams in favor of fostering mine. It’s a privilege and a pleasure to watch you enjoy your horse to the fullest now, even though it’s from afar ❤️ Jessica Hasemann

I love horses in winter, I love horses in winter, I love horses in winter

Saying goodbye to 2024 and preparing to welcome in 2025. 2024 has seen a lot of changes:
- Joker and I entered our first “real dressage” show and we’re going to work to make 1st level solid and possibly begin work on 2nd level in 2025
- Paladin hit 4 years old and got VERY big for his britches. Looking forward to his 5 year old year as he continues to develop into a fabulous horse
- I purchased two phenomenal saddles from Lorri Hart and saw the immediate impact of a custom-fitted saddle
- I received some medical diagnoses that explained so much of the difficulties I’ve been experiencing for my entire life, and I’m now better able to find adaptations that help me do what I love
- I met some amazing new families
- I saw so much growth in my long-term students
- I had some fun and fabulous horsey adventures with my fun and fabulous horsey friends
- I scaled back my lesson program to make room for my family therapy clinical internship

In 2025 I am so excited to meet more horse-crazy people, continue growing with my students and horses, and I should be stepping from my graduate intern status into associate licensure around my expected graduation date in June ❤️
2024, it’s been real, it’s been fun, it’s been real fun.
