We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday! 🇺🇸…. However this & NYE are definitely our least favorite holidays…. Please be thoughtful of your neighbors whose mental & physical well being is at risk from fireworks….. ☹️

We are definitely melting in the heat this week… 🫠 but taking it easy on our trails still sounds like a great plan to stay cool, get quality time with your horse, & enjoy some serene views!

~ The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and freedom ~

On this dreary Monday we’re dreaming of warm sunny days that are hopefully ahead! This was a picture we took last week on one of the nicest weather days we’ve had in a while…Fancy, Snazz, and Stetson were certainly enjoying it! 🌤️

We are so thankful for those who give their time, effort, and energy to help to keep our horses healthy & happy!

‘Here’s to the owners who are outside every couple of hours to monitor their horses’ health in these frigid temps.

Here’s to the owners who are checking waterers for ice. Here’s to the owners who are freezing their fingers to hang up their hose, or bringing hoses inside their house to keep from freezing.

Here’s to the owners switching blankets, double blanketing, or cleaning out shelters for their unblanketed horses. Here’s to the owners who are worried if their horse is staying warm enough with or without their blanket.

Here’s to the owners who are throwing countless flakes of loose hay out while making sure the round bale feeders don’t go empty.

Here’s to the owners praying that equipment starts, and hydraulics work smoothly. Here’s to the owners who figure it out when the equipment fails you.

Here’s to the messy mud room, filled with winter bibs, charged heated vests, boot dryers plugged in, and headlamps charged. Here’s to the countless pairs of gloves you have to swap out each time you venture outside.

Here’s to the rigorous training schedules, riding lessons, and busy barn coming to a halt. Here’s to putting the health of the animal’s first.

Here’s to the part of horse management that isn’t so glamorous. Thank you for all you are doing for the safety and wellbeing of your horses during this time.

Here’s to all of us ❄️🩵’

LOTS of Hay ✔️
Blankets ✔️
Coolers to keep soaked alfalfa warm ✔️
Salt mixed in everyones meals ✔️
All pastures got an additional water trough ✔️
And last but not least…. Our nifty trick from the last big freeze… Backup coolers holding hot water just in case✔️✔️✔️

With tonight being the first night of very low temps (mid-high teens) the next couple days…. Hopefully this prep makes for warm, happy, & hydrated horses! 🥶 💪🏼❄️

Today we said goodbye to Athina💔
She has spent the last year with us enjoying being mostly retired, fat, and spoiled. She was a talented mare who had a great career in the jumpers with her loving & dedicated owner. She also served as a lesson horse in her final years and taught so much to so many riders. Our thoughts & prayers are with the Bennett family.
We will miss you sweet girl, fly high!🪽

When food is life 🍴🌾😋

📸: featuring one of our most well known residents… Pancake the Mustang, who is originally from the Pancake Mountain Range in Nevada. He’s stands at only 13.2 hands, but don’t let his small stature fool you, he’s got more than enough personality & talent to make up for it!
