Harper is part of the Ace family, and her family is struggling right now. As some of you are aware, her father, Charlie Vandergriff has been courageously fighting cancer for the past year. Throughout his journey, he has shown immense strength, facing both highs and lows and unwavering determination. Unfortunately, Charlie has been hospitalized for the past 27 days, undergoing painful treatments and surgeries in his fight to return home and be with his family.. As a result he is unable to return to work.

During this challenging time, the Vandergriff family is in need of our prayers and support now more than ever. Please consider donating and helping out this amazing family in any way you can. Your generosity will make a significant difference for Steph and the girls as they navigate through this extremely difficult time.

Hello Ace Family- I am sorry to say we sent Gerry across rainbow bridge on Sunday with blue skies and green grass.

Our old boy had a heart murmur and crossed peacefully surrounded by myself, Kali, Hudson, Morgan and Dane (and ALL the treats he could eat!)

His arch nemesis Jeffery Turkey kept a perimeter around him, dutifully chasing other horses away while we were saying goodbye. Winky didn’t leave his side for long through it all either.

Little did I know what an impact that big old yellow horse would have almost 4 years ago when he came home. Naming him “Gerry”, short for geriatric not realizing how old he was when I impulse bid on him. He owes no one, including me, he was worth his weight in gold. An absolute character who started many, if not all, kiddos riding at Ace with his gentle, grumpy nature. He tolerated being a unicorn, dressed up for birthdays, painted for horse camps, kissed with red lipstick for Valentine’s Day…. Just to name a few. His absence is already hugely felt.

I’m not sure how we we’ll ever keep time at Ace without Old Man coming to the gate promptly at 7:30am, 11:30am and 3pm.☺️

Please feel free to share Gerry pictures and stories. We always want more time, but we were blessed to have you for as long as we did. Cheers and love to the big guy!

I missed Dewey’s “Gotcha Day” on May 11th!!

Rescued from a Rockford trailer park by Winnebago county animal services, little man hasn’t missed a beat becoming a farm favorite with more personality than most humans 😝 Spoiled buddy comes running to me every morning , sleeps outside the front door and greets customers with happy oinks while pushing other piggies out of the way for attention.

Dewdew, Do**us, deweytewey,To say you are loved, is an understatement. Here’s to being happy, healthy, safe and living his best piggie life at Ace!

ATTENTION MAY 4th SHOW FAMILIES- SHOW CANCELED!
Unfortunately, unfortunately, the May 4th show has been canceled. Our fearless leader, Allie, has been in the hospital since Sunday dealing with health issues, and she will not be ready to lead a show by Saturday. We are sorry for the cancellation because we understand how excited the kiddos get and we don’t mean to disappoint. Please keep an eye on the page for further showing opportunities .
Lastly, if you’re trying to get a hold of Allie, please know she will get to you when she is feeling better and able to respond.

Midwest Horse Fair is upon us! Yay!!

To all attending-I hope you have a wonderful time!!

With the current concern of Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy (EHM) outbreak I am requiring a biosecurity protocol to keep all of our favorite equines safe and healthy!

If you attend horse fair, before coming to Ace please: Shower and wash all clothing and wipe down footwear. Easy peasy!

If anyone is curious as to the outbreak: https://equinediseasecc.org/ is a great resource!

DO👏🏻NOT 👏🏻TELL 👏🏻ME 👏🏻HORSES 👏🏻DON’T👏🏻DESERVE👏🏻SECOND 👏🏻 CHANCES!!! Or kindness. Or understanding. Or patience. Or love.

Kill pens:
“They are there for a reason….”
“Someone else didn’t find their worth, why would I”
“Nasty is nasty.”
“They don’t change”
“There’s something wrong with them”
“You’re just throwing your money away”

I acknowledge many of these statements can be true and the slaughter pipeline in the United States is incredibly flawed in so many ways.

When I look at a horse to pull, I see an individual soul. I do not see an entire system that needs a total overhaul and shouldn’t be “supported”. How is it an animals fault that humans are failing them? (Don’t get me started) That their purpose is to end up at ship pens and, frequently, across the boarders.

The issues are bigger than me, without much change in sight. If me not pulling an $800 horse would turn the tables, I might reconsider. At this point, I’ll continue to focus on the individual.

I make promises to each rescue- we will do what we can for them to ease Their emotions, transitions and physical issues with patience and kindness. If it happens that we can’t do enough, they are let go, peacefully, with love.

Here’s Tommy- halflinger pony-15 months apart. He came to Ace very sick, entirely afraid of human touch, listless and dull to the world. After treating his medical needs, taking his nards, and easing his transition from auction house, to KP, to home….he’s thriving, currently training undersaddle, gentle, LOVES LOVE!

No, don’t ever tell me it’s not worth it.

And they are absolutely worth everything, they are precious simply for being our life companions and they can never be wasted, as you just cannot waste a friend 💚

Please join me this week in wishing Stephanie Armstrong well as she takes on new professional adventures!

To say we are sad that this will be her last week with Ace is an understatement. Best of luck, Steph, we’ll miss you!!

Ace’s weather committee has met and decided there will be no lessons 1/12-1/22 due to trecherous amounts of snow and dangerouslt low temps.

Thank you to SashaSheep, AdeleSheep, LadyDog, BonkersDonk, TommyPony and TysonPig for your dedicated snow sampling, frolicking research and ice testing to reach your committees’ conclusion.

Our staff will be tirelessly working through the week to ensure every animal is warm, fed, medicated and has thawed water to drink.

Stay safe to all… especially my fellow farmer friends!
