Anyone knowledgeable on a tractor or farm who wants to make a lil extra money? I need some farm help a few days a week. Not necessarily hay, but might include lots of bush hogging, plenty of fencing and some light junk work. Have a lot to do and no help and not much time to do it. Cash, pm me for more info. Thanks!

Good evening everyone! I'm finally back to being me! I know I've been on again off again for awhile now. Real talk! Grief is a long process and u think you might be through it, then you're not... however I am glad to say my life has gotten back on track! I'm motivated, happier than I've been and ready to get back out there!
With all this being said, if anyone wants to get on my lesson schedule. I will be starting the first weeks of April! Working on finishing some projects now and getting horses legged up! Looking forward to seeing new and old faces alike! Thank you for all of your understanding, patience and kindness through all my turmoil. It takes a village is so true! Love ya! - Leah

In light of my current vehicular issues, my f450 is literally unsafe to drive, does anyone know of any companies that rent heavy duty trucks to pull with or have a dually min. F350/3500 etc that I could borrow or rent Nov 1st thru 5th? I am pulling 6 horses in a 32 ft lq trailer. I wish purchasing was an option, but it currently isn't.

10/04/2023

Good morning everyone! The horses are ready to get back to work!
Lessons available

Pm me for more info and times available. Possibly Thursdays in the future. Thanks guys. Looking fwd to seeing you!

Hey guys, I'm getting out of breeding and trying to downsize! I have some super sweet doggo's needing a new address...a corgi, 3 male small toy aussie puppies, and 6 toy aussie adults... 2-3 of my aussie females are bred, and the corgi may be bred as well, but I am getting out of raising dogs, so want to move them before they whelp again. Puppies are planned for Christmas availability. Easily make your investment back within the first year! I'm willing to make a heckuva deal on then all to someone or in small groups! Pm me if you've ever thought of getting into raising dogs. I'll gladly mentor someone and just need to down size! I would be willing to sell my 3 bullyproof galvanized kennels with my dogs if they all went together, they're super nice, but not for sale unless i sell the dogs. :) pm me for more info! All of my dogs are registered asdr or ckc, fully tested and really easy to handle. Located near Martinsville,VA but will ship or meet! Thanks for looking & Please Share!

I guess im finally ready to put this out there.... Kelo (Kelos Convincer) passed away a lil over 2 months ago @ 22 yrs old and life at the barn just hasn't been the same. He fought cancer for 4 years and is still one of the best animals iv ever had the privilege to own. He is greatly missed, by hundreds of children he taught how to ride and especially by my own lil boy whom he loved & taught so much to. I trusted him implicitly and there was no horse with a meaner mug, pissy face as him. These animals leave hoof prints on your heart and a lifelong impression on your soul... It's just not the same without him, till we meet again my old friend... RIP.

Free kittens. Grey tabby is male, 2 female tabbies... they hitched a ride today so I'm pretty sure they wanna go somewhere. Will use litter box and are very personable. Be great indoor outdoor kitties or barn cats... anyone???

Hey guys! Iv got a few ideas for the barn etc! Any interest in a drill team? We will start 2 weekends a month of guided trail rides and am making my lesson schedule now, so If you or your kids are interested in lessons let me know! All ages offered and multiple disciplines, with family discounts. I'm also working on a schedule for summer camps and a moms only weekend. These were both hits in the past! So excited to get back to the barn and get back to normal! Looking fwd to seeing ya!

02/19/2023

Good beautiful Sunday morning! I will be starting back on schedule for lessons and guided trail rides starting March 12th. If you'd like to get on the schedule, please just let me know! Looking forward to seeing everyone! Going to try to implement a no cancel policy, and we'll be only offering trail rides every other weekend. Hoping for good weather! :)

02/08/2023

Hey everyone! Just wanted to pop on because iv gotten so many calls lately. Yes! I will be continuing to give lessons in 2023. 2022 was hard. Im sure most of you know why but I'm working on some exciting new things for the year and looking forward to seeing all my students back. We will be attending more off site functions this year and hoping to get some much needed improvements to the barn arena etc. Keep your fingers crossed! We are closed until March. Mostly due to weather restrictions but I will post availability when we re-open! Happy new year and let's make this one amazing together! See you soon! - L

So, hello everyone and happy hopefully end of winter!?! It's been a long & hard cold spell this year.. Doing it all alone or with borrowed help isn't the easiest. Some awesome people in my life have really stepped up and everyone has been amazingly supportive. This is a hard life in the best of times, and we need all the support and help we can get.. This is going to be a transition year so things may be a little different than the last few years. Tentative restart date for lessons is after daylight savings time as of now. I'll keep updating everyone about the changes and about scheduling. So far very minimal but never sure where life might take you. :) Just wanted to say Hi and touch base as it's been awhile. Hope this message finds all of u out there well. Warmest Winter Blessings being sent your way! Hopefully we will see you soon!
These pics reflect daily life.... all I do is feed animals! :)

It's not too far till Christmas... these stars are sure beautiful tonight. This one will sure be different for my family, However my barn family has truly stepped up this year and been amazing... I can't thank all of you enough for your patronage, support, love and friendship. I don't deserve it, but am sure thankful for it. Here's wishing each and every one of you a very very Merry Christmas! Looking forward to seeing each of you in the new year as well! Much love!

I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for! Barn family for life!
So many thanks to all the individuals and families that came out to help install fence last Saturday... so sorry the food wasn't better! But the company sure was! Love each of you!

11/16/2021

Some photos of lessons over the last 2 weeks and the moon and sunset the last few evenings... as long as the weather is good, we will continue to ride. Just wear layers!

My apologies! Haven't posted much lately, for those of you who didn't know, I lost my dear husband Ben to Covid. I am really trying to get back to keeping a normal schedule, please continue your patience with me while we get through this bumpy part of life. Thank you again for your continued support and patronage!
PM me or text for available appointments.

Gentleman Farming at its best! Animals gotta eat and working a day job doesn't mean you get to stop when you get home! Thankful for friends and family for the help!

Everyone, I can't tell you what an amazing Summer I have had at the barn. Between many great and a few rough moments we have all learned so much and had so much fun! Thank you to each and every one of you that helped make it that way! I can't do it without you and wouldn't want to! Much love and looking forward to the Fall! See you all soon at the barn!
