Sunday Funday Rides-

We ride through the fields with laughter and sass,
One horse is eating, one’s spooking at grass.
We zig, we zag, with big smiles all through,
Already planning next week with the crew. 🐎🤣

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms at the barn—horse moms, kid moms, and every kind of caregiver in between. You’re the heart of NWA Stables!

From your horses:
We see you, moms, in boots and jeans,
Driving us to chase your dreams.
You brush our manes, you give us treats,
(And sometimes sneak us extra eats.)

You cheer us on, you hold our lead—
You’re really all the mom we need.
From every hoof, tail, squawk, and neigh—
We love you more than our alfalfa hay!

A peacock rolled up bold and proud,
Struttin’ his stuff for the crowd.
He perched on the gate,
Declared, “I look great!”
Then flounced off, too fancy, too loud.

The horses all froze mid-chew,
The donkeys weren’t sure what to do.
The chickens took flight,
Big Red screamed in fright—
We thought we just boarded horses… who knew?

Yesterday, we said goodbye to one of the kindest souls in our barn—Tonka.

A gentle giant with a heart of gold, Tonka spent his early years serving with Horses for Healing, patiently carrying countless children. The last few years with us, he brought that same calm and steady spirit. He was the kind of horse anyone could ride—trustworthy, sweet, and always willing.

He touched a lot of lives, and we’re so grateful to have been a part of his final chapter.

Rest easy, Tonka. You were a good boy—one of the best.

LAST CHANCE! Our first event of 2025 is next weekend!

We are thrilled to welcome Pam Bishop for a clinic at NWA Stables and Equestrian Center on April 26th and 27th!

Pam is a USEF "R" Judge in Hunters, Hunter Seat Equitation, Hunter Breeding, and Jumpers. (p.s. Pam will be judging our September show this year - this clinic is a great way to learn what she, and our other judges, are looking for!)

The first day will be a standard "clinic" setup with gymnastic exercises and flatwork.
The second day, we will have courses set where riders can practice over hunter or equitation/medal courses, and Pam will give feedback before and after the ride, and then riders can try again, implementing her feedback. What a great way to brush up on your show ring skills the weekend before our first show!
NWAHJA strongly encourages not just our riders, but parents and other auditors, to attend.

A current 2025 NWAHJA Membership is required for riding participants, not required for auditors. Membership link: https://forms.gle/9B5fJSinW8vTJwqU9

Pricing:
Riding Participant ($150) includes both days of instruction. Sessions will be 1.5-2 hours, with 3-5 riders per session depending on # of sign-ups per level, etc.

Sign up here! https://forms.gle/2fgBKMeVwzrbK3rS6

Another great Amber Seltzer clinic coming up!

They say one chicken’s just like ten,
So I thought, why not? and did it again.
Enter Big Red, the barnyard king,
Strutting around like he owns everything.

But things escalated, as they tend to do,
Now I’m building a chicken chateau with a five-star view. 🏰
Feathers are flying, the chaos is real,
Big Red’s got attitude and plenty of zeal.

Will this be genius or my downfall? Who knows?
But one thing’s for sure… the madness just grows! 😂🐔
