Well guys the flood tried to wash us away 😅 the main structures are still standing and we are praising God for that but it has left a big mess and we have a lot of work ahead of us. With that being said we will no longer be taking client horses and if your horse is currently with us it is safe but we need everyone to make arrangements to pick up ASAP. We have no where to safely train or ride as of right now. We are in and out of service but if you’ll leave a voicemail or text we will get back to you as soon as possible. We love and appreciate each and every person that helped made our dream become reality. It’s not goodbye, just see you later!❤️ The comeback will be bigger than the setback!🙏🏼

This summer heat works wonders for the hardheaded ones and we just so happen to have a spot open. Summer spots are hard to come by but we’ve saved this one for someone who may not have had the chance to get on the books yet! We specialize in c**t starting but we also take problem horses, horses just needing exposure, something you need to sell but no time for, we will accept just about anything as long as you’re honest about it! We’ve been hauling to local rodeos and horse shows, we ride in the mountains and on the trails frequently and we’d love to have your horse in the trailer when we go! We also offer riding lessons for ALL ages you’re never too young or old to learn something new or start a new hobby ❤️ Please Pm the page today to chat about our services and how we can help you!

Stormy is here on consignment to find her perfect person! She is a Tennessee Walking mare that stands just a hair under 15 hands, she’s 16 years old, she’s sound, & she’s broke to ride! She’s been on the trails, the road, across bridges, through tunnels, she’s car dog & bicycle safe. Prefers to be the leader when riding out, very confident mare that wants to look through the bridle and work for her rider! located in austinville va please pm us to set up a time to come try her out.

As this year is coming to an end we have to give a shoutout to everyone who made it possible for us to live our dream another year. What a year 2023 has been for EK Equine!! a lot of hard work, sweat, blood, & maybe a few tears were shed too 😅 We are so so blessed to do what we love every day & we couldn’t do it without our supporters. All of the people behind the scenes, all of you guys liking/sharing our posts & of course the wonderful people who trust us enough to send their equine babies to us..None of you guys go unnoticed, we appreciate each & every one of you more than we could ever express. With that being said, we are so excited to be going into the new year with new knowledge, clients that turned into friends, & an open barn to take on new clients! Not much has changed with what we offer but in case anyone forgot -> we offer
-halter breaking/groundwork~ its important to have good control & a solid foundation on them before they get too big.
-c**t starting~ starting with desensitizing, going at the c**t’s pace, we suggest a minimum of 30 days to get a good solid start under saddle.
-consignment horses~ Need a horse sold but don’t have the time to ride/promote? We will ride the horse and promote it for you until it sells. We often travel to horse sales and know plenty of people in the horse industry, so we can get the word out in no time.
-general miles and experience~ Have a horse on the back burner but don’t want it to just be sitting? Horses will be ridden on New River Trail, mountain trails and on public roads, giving the real outdoor experience they need to thrive as a “real horse”. They also can be hauled to local arenas.
-problem horses~ Owners must be willing to rule out all pain related issues prior to sending the horse, but we will take any horse as long as you’re completely honest about the issues.
-tune ups~ just one ride or any length of time you desire, it could be first ride back after being turned out or a reminder that the rider is in charge. anything you need!
-riding lessons~ we offer lessons for all ages but we love teaching the younger generation all the benefits an equine can bring!
PM me to chat or with questions about anything. If you didn’t see what you need listed message anyway, we might know someone who can help.
We will also periodically be posting personal horses for sale after they’ve been through the proper training.
Located in Austinville, Va right beside the New River. *You will be responsible for supplying your hay/grain otherwise discussed*

We can start from the ground up or just simply put miles on a broke horse that you don’t have time for. Please PM us to chat about getting a stall for the dreaded upcoming winter. *we also offer riding lessons for anyone interested*

Rocky is a 13 year old, 14.3 hand tall red roan gelding. He is UTD on all vaccines, dental work, & has a negative coggins. He stands for the farrier, hauls, ties, loads, stalls, & overnights all easily & quietly. A true gentleman on the ground & a typical businessman under saddle. This is a fun little horse that needs a job! He’s a little too much for his owner so we have him on consignment looking for someone who needs a good using horse. He is quirky & he will try you. He is not dangerous, just not a beginners horse. Very cowy, moves around real nice & easy, tracks a cow with his ears pinned, he’s a gamey horse and he needs a job.

we can’t share this enough!! do right by your horses & discipline them 🙂

Please stop rewarding bad behavior and babying a 1200 pound animal. We get a lot of horses in training where people give you a long list of “behaviors” that they are justifying as playful and not disrespectful.. When in fact they are disrespectful.

Cookies and sedation are the two biggest enemies in this world. Stop sedating your horse for every stressful situation THEY WILL NEVER LEARN. Sedation is a helpful tool under circumstances, but not under “my horse gets nervous for the farrier” “there was fireworks” Desensitize your horse and teach it right from wrong, it is disrespectful..

It is not cute when your horse puts its open mouth on your arm trying to ask for a treat. It is not cute when your horse is pawing to china in a cross tie because it has no patience. Sadly, it is the humans fault NOT the horses. Too many horses have now been turned dangerous with a bad reputation becasue that is what a human once taught that horse was acceptable.

When I’m working a horse in the round pen, or saddling, or just grooming I want that horse to look at me as a teammate, NOT as a vending machine. Pockets full of treats to head in to “work” your horse is not achieving anything other than making yourself look like a life size carrot. After your workout, there is nothing wrong with a treat to reward a successful day, but don’t revolve your exercise around it.

As a community we need to be better. The saying “they just don’t make them like that anymore” is wrong in the horse world, they do make them like that and they are being ruined in the wrong hands..

Studly came to get the dust knocked off & his attitude under control. We are very proud to say that he’s going home with a head full of knowledge & a better understanding of what his human will be asking of him. He has been my(kassidy) favorite of the barn for a while now, I’ll definitely miss this one. ❤️ with that being said we have a stall open if anyone has an equine related issues that needs worked out. P M us. We hope everyone has a relaxing labor day!

Ace came with a few issues and as an older horse he is pretty set in his ways. We worked really hard to get this out of him and hope his owner gets to enjoy him as much as we did! Horses like him really test us as riders and we personally don’t mind having problem horses to keep us in check😉 We have an open stall if we can help with any equine related issues just shoot us a message!
