About Our Team

Blue Skies was built on a dream that we could provide a safe riding environment for Hunter Jumper show teams.  In order to achieve that dream however, it takes a lot more than a beautiful facility.  It takes the care and expertise and love of industry professionals that have the same dream.  Below is a look at the partners we rely on on a daily basis…  While it may seem like a lot of people for only a 16-stall barn, we’re a firm believer in putting the horses needs first!

VETERINARIANS

Dr. Fernando Cardenas of 3H Equine Hospital helps us with lameness issues, rehab and so many more things.  His technical approach with computer monitoring of movements eliminates any guesswork   Many may know him more for his charismatic showing in events like the World Equestrian Games or other international venues.

FARRIERS

Thomas Stallings began working with us in 2018, and to say he’s had a busy year is an understatement.  Thomas was the lead farrier at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon, NC this year, and we can honestly say, he’s handled millions of dollars worth of shoes from that experience alone.  Congrats Thomas!

CHIROPRACTORS

Doug Ziegler started working with us in 2018, and while I’ve watched others before him, I still can’t believe what I see each time he works on the horses.  Miracles.  It’s been fantastic having the relief and care of the horses in Doug’s hands.

NUTRITIONISTS 

We work with a team of specialists from Purina to help us with proper nutrition for the horses.

BLUE SKIES TEAM & MANAGERS

Jen Hubbard – Owner and operator, oversees all of the barn operations and communications on a daily basis.

Michael Hubbard – Owner and caretaker of the barn and the pastures – and has been accused of singing to the grass to make it grow and giving the horses too many treats (and has not denied either).

Barn Managers – We employ a full staff of barn managers to care for the horses and pastures.  We require previous horse experience, and we generally hire managers that have owned their own horse so they truly understand the amount of work and effort caring for horses really takes!
