We wasted no time putting our new footing to good use! Alexis and Katelyn took the opportunity to take their first rides on their OTTBs, Debbie Darling and Peacearella! These girls have goals of the 2025 Retired Racehorse Project!

Thank you Cody for all your hard work putting in our new footing so quickly!

It was an exciting day for us yesterday as the new footing for the indoor was dropped off and Cody and Aleigha got right to work spreading it out and ending the evening dragging! We are excited for this next chapter and riding inside this winter!!❄️

We had a great time at Jakkal Hill Stables Fall Schooling Show today!

Julia took Calla Lily for her first show experience in the walk halt division and had a fabulous time with wonderful ribbons!

Madison rode Toby Or Not Toby in the walk halt for a first show back after breaking her foot and were Champion! Giving them the confidence to try the walk trot under saddle and they did great even after Toby was spicy in the warm up ring and Alexis had to get on to school!

Aleigha fell asleep for the actual Leadline class so she got her very own after her nice two hour nap! Her and her pony, Daddy’s Last Dollar, brought out all the cuteness winning over the crowd with her princess wave, giggles, and kissing to make her pony go!

Bristol took Calla Lily in the walk trot for more experience for our cute little pony and they were Champion in the division!

Bristol then took Nick in the 2’ Hunter and had a great time with lots of learning experience, including their first true equitation course! They did great together!

After schooling Toby, Alexis decided she had to show Toby for old time sake and Toby pulled out all the stops and WON a hunter over fences class and were reserve champion! Anyone who knows Toby knows “he’s just not a hunter” but he had to be fancy today competing against his best buddy, Nick!

What a wonderful day spent with friends for a beautiful fall show! Thank you Lauren and the Jakkal Hill crew for hosting, you did a fabulous job!!

Reunited and it feels so good! Dash went home to his forever with his breeder Melinda! Dash joined his half sister and many others in her herd that she has bred and raised and brought back home for the rest of their years!

When Dash told us he didn’t want to be a lesson pony, we listened and did what was best for him as it should always be in our industry! We can’t wait to see what they do together in the years to come.

We love you Dash! 🩵

An early morning departure means an early morning stop for fuel, bathroom, and snacks halfway to our destination. Any guesses what we are doing today?

We have stalls open for full care board as well, reach out and setup a tour!

Our apparel makes for great Christmas presents too and will be ready for Christmas! If you’ve got nosey kiddos at home, ask Alexis about her gift wrapping services (it’s her favorite holiday activity)!

From small to tall, Bristol has officially ridden them all!

Fun fact: Bristol was our very first student and has now ridden all 7 of our horses! Bristol horse showed all day yesterday and then asked to come clean stalls this morning, she works hard and gets to enjoy the benefits of extra saddle time for her hard work! Today Bristol got to ride Cody’s horse, Yukon, for the first time!

What a great day at the last of the Lofty Heart Stables horse show series.

To start the day, Aleigha had her best Leadline class yet, smiling, giggling, kissing to her pony to go, and winning over the judge with her pony, Daddy’s Last Dollar (Echo)!

Bristol took Calla Lily (Callie) out for her first show with us and did a clean sweep of the walk trot division to come home champion!!

Alexis and Daddy’s Last Dollar (Echo) had some great undersaddle classes placing second in both, even with Echo getting stung by a bee right before being asked to canter! Bringing home a reserve champion!

Bristol and SeekN And DreamN (Nick) had a great day among tough competition to bring home two thirds and a sixth and even lost a stirrup over fences and was commended by many for her great riding!!

Our ponies then got to come home and enjoy the afternoon outside!

If you’re looking for a family friendly barn to advance your skills, we have openings for lesson students of all levels and stalls available for full care board to bring your own horse too! Come check us out!

It was a pony party last night! Our adults love to hop on our ponies and take them for a spin! In a fun lesson last night Katelyn rode Echo (bay) and noted how far she has come since her first ride on her a few months ago. She has really made strides cruising around small courses and Katelyn rides her so well! Nicole rode Dash (grey) for his first ride since coming home from lease. Dash was a little rockstar and really worked on his skills with Nicole and they made for a fun pair to watch!

We have something exciting to share! We officially own a pony in every size!

We would like to welcome Calla Lily aka “Callie” to our family! Callie is a 4 year old small welsh pony! She will specialize in walk trot lessons while she is still learning to canter and jump! We can’t thank Megan and Irene enough for entrusting us with this special little girl with a big future! You are already so loved little girl! 🩷

We have stalls! With the anticipation of our indoor arena being ready for use in October, we are opening up a stall reservation list! If you’d like to get on it, please send us a message as soon as possible to schedule a tour and see if it’s the right fit for you and your horse! We have a pretty awesome crew and we can’t wait to meet you!

Freshly dragged arenas are our favorite here at ACW Equine! Cody and our daughter Aleigha do a beautiful job keeping our ring in top condition for our boarders and lesson students to enjoy! Up next, a new course of jumps to be set!

Our crew had a fabulous time at the 2024 Erie County Fair! There are more photos and videos than I can count and a week of memories we will never forget!

Our highlight reel includes:
✨Bristol and SeekN And DreamN (Nick) showing in a large and tough Low Child/Adult division and coming home with a 6th over fences!
✨Giada and Levanto (Draco) showing in the Walk Trot and winning the Cavaletti class out of 13!
✨Katelyn getting to show Toby Or Not Toby (Toby) in the 2’-2’3” Jumpers after her mount was unexpectedly out of commission!
✨Cash getting all the pampering, snuggles, and learning all the sights and sounds of his first fair while out of commission and hanging with his best buds!
✨Alexis and SeekN And DreamN (Nick) competed in the 2’6”-2’9” Special Hunters and came home with a 2nd, Three 3rds, and a 4th over fences in good company!
✨Bailey got to get back in the show ring with Levanto (Draco) and came home with a 5th in a competitive Child Adult under saddle class!
✨Miranda and Final Touch (Finn) got in the show ring for the first time together and were fantastic in the Low Hunters over fences in good company!
✨Aleigha and Daddy’s Last Dollar (Echo) had a fantastic round in the Leadline earning a 1st place!

We can’t thank our barn family enough for making this a great show and we can’t wait to do it again next year!

A HUGE thank you to Nicole for holding down the fort at home and making it so easy for us to go horse show and not have to worry about anything at our home base and for providing all the updates on our horses at home!

This wouldn’t be possible without all of our crew! We are so blessed to be able to share this life with you all!

Spotlight! Check out Katelyn and her new partner Rollin So Perfect aka “Cash”! Katelyn has had Cash for two months now. Before coming to Katelyn, Cash was a successful racehorse and wasn’t off the track very long before starting his new career. Look out for this pair in the 2’6” Jumpers at the Erie County Fair!

For Duck’s Sake: 13.2hh Quarter Pony available for Lease.

Dash is sweet and smart but still green. He WTC and jumps with a change when asked but needs some guidance on straightness. Would like to keep him local to the Buffalo/Rochester area. Lease can be in barn or off-site. He is available for a reasonable cost 6 month lease from October 2023 - March 2024 due to my maternity leave. Please send me a PM to come give him a try, trainers and serious inquirers 18 years and older. No minors for PM please.
