Bustergirl is still somewhat feral but she does come by once in awhile. I love her eyes. She looks like she's up to something naughty!

I found these roses behind the old garage running wild. They are probably remnants of a garden from the family who farmed here in the mid to late 1900s.

After a week of cold and snow this is getting tiresome! Hopefully, the weather is going to break on Sunday!

Moderate lake enhanced snow near Lake Ontario and across portions of western New York continues. Snowfall rates up to an inch per hour and visibility down to a half mile or less will be possible in the most persistent snow. If traveling, use caution and give yourself extra time as untreated roads wi...

I meant to post this yesterday but the typical life at the barn got in the way. One horse left to go to training, a new boarder came in, the weather turned bad and the horses needed to come in early.

So, December 1 was the third anniversary if my taking over the barn. I want to thank all those who have helped me make it this far. You know who you are!

We welcome two new boarders this week: Legs and Apollo.

Clearing summer growth from the trails. It's great riding weather! And when the weather gets cold, we have a large indoor with new footing. We have stalls available. Come join us!

Have you made your winter riding plans? We have a huge indoor arena with new footing perfect for staying warm and dry while you ride!

We are a boarder-centric barn. No public lessons, no screaming kids (or parents). Plenty of space for tack and equipment. Horses are turned out daily as weather permits in semi-private paddocks. We feed hay throughout the day and grain (Nutrena) at breakfast, dinner (and night check if necessary). Stalls cleaned daily.

Here's our website with a video of the facility: www.newsteadequestrian.com

For a tour of the facilities, please contact us via a PM or call the barn at 716-542-3064

This young cat wandered into the barn. She appears to be feral but just want to make sure she isn't someone's lost kitten. Please share as appropriate. Thanks!

We have all experienced and caused barn drama. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about how you can be part of the solution!

Due to bad air quality from the Canadian wildfires, the horses are all inside today.

And it's predicted to be even worse on Thursday!!! Horses will once again be in. Boarders, if you can get here, please do so as your horses need a little love and attention.

The majority of a "safety fence" is installed. This will keep horses who get loose from running directly out to Route 93. Route 93 is quite busy with semi trucks and the speed limit is 55 mph. We work hard to ensure everyone stays safe!

A prospective boarder checking out the feed. I believe the bird is a cattle egret. Although not usually seen around here, many birds are expanding their ranges north.

We still have a couple of slots left for a dressage clinic (lesson) with Kathy Wood-Copa on Saturday, April 15. The ride in the indoor ring is 45 minutes and costs $85.00. Video taping for free if you provide the SD card. Please let us know ASAP by messenger if you want to come. Thanks!

The new footing is in! It has Lilly's seal of approval.

Thank you to Cody who worked tirelessly to spread and level the 40 plus yards of special sand.
