Well as good a time as any to finally get back in the routine of posting!

We are back to doing lessons! I am available some weekday evenings and Saturdays only.

Few farm updates while I’m at it!

Walker has been permanently retired to a home that will just have him be a pet and be spoiled for the rest of his life.

Lua is still big large and in charge!
Reya is the baby, but hit a major growth spurt and has been getting plenty of ground work.
Vega is only getting fluffier as the temps keep dropping! Won’t be long until she’s full wooly mammoth again.
Gracie has finally settled in and has been getting ridden. Still not ready for lesson kids, but making significant progress.
Dixie is killing it with all the little and even the smallest kiddo can handle the big blonde bombshell.
Tucker is our newest addition! He’s been added into the lesson routine and has been a welcome new family member!

We look forward to seeing everybody soon!

Most people know I named my business after my heart horse. Star unfortunately passed in August and it devastated me. In Star’s life she had 2 fillies. I never thought I’d be able to own either again.

Well, today I brought Ima Amazing Gracie home. Gracie is Star’s oldest daughter. Words don’t properly describe my joy.

I can’t wait for everyone to meet her!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there for all you do!

05/11/2023

Sorry I’m so bad at posting guys!

So we have officially hit the end of the regular lesson season!
I will do some sporadic lessons as weather permits.

Horse updates!

Butter found his permanent retirement home.

Walker looks to finally be near the end of lameness and is looking so much better!!

Reya hit a massive growth spurt and no longer looks like a tiny baby 😭

Vega is filling out with so much muscle we are having to look for a new saddle fit!

Lua will be getting bred before the end of the month for a 2024 foal!

We have a big thing coming by the end of this month, some of you know how much my heart horse Star meant to me. So this next thing coming means an incredible amount to me.

Thank you everyone for being a part of Rising Star Farms ❤️

Lessons are finally back to normal this week! Was an amazing conference with NSTA but man did I miss my lesson family!

Please note that updated liability forms will need to be signed this week. If you have questions please feel free to contact me!

Sorry for such a delayed post! Between being rained out, Bell’s palsy, family friends from out of town visiting, and spring break there has been lots of chaos. So here’s a small photo dump before we start the new weekend before I head out for the National Science Teachers Association conference.

Please be sure you schedule in advance! Schedules have been looking a little full lately and trying to make sure I get everybody in!

The three day weekend seemed to have zoomed by! We had an out of state visitor, birthday celebrations, and a house call!

02/13/2023

Late post this week after forgetting last week! Wow does the weekends fly by! I’m loving seeing all the progress this week! I was so busy being amazed by all the latest growth that I forgot to take more pictures!
Flies are coming out though, so everybody is sporting their new fly masks!

Looking forward to seeing everybody next weekend for our three day weekend!

01/30/2023

Another busy weekend!
We got to explore quite a bit, and I think Melissa’s position on Mack was definitely the mood by the time we hit the end of this weekend!

As we are getting busier with this beautiful weather, please try and schedule / reschedule so I make sure you’re on the books!

Looking forward to next weekend!

Holy smokes this weekend flew by!
Shout out to everyone that made it out for lessons turned trails this weekend. When we get flooded out with the rains we just make the most of it!

Words don’t describe how awesome the new trail Melissa, Jaden, and I found this past week. Hope to be able to perfect the loop so we can start opening it up soon!

01/15/2023

Shout out to Kursten Rae Drummond for coming out and doing Lua’s, Vega’s, and Walker’s teeth!

When the horses were all done with their dentals we still got to enjoy a day full of lessons and finished with a trail!

Definitely was a busy but beautiful day here! Fingers crossed weather holds out for tomorrow!

01/10/2023

The last 3 weeks of winter break were a blast! We definitely got lots of riding and lots of fun in here at Rising Star Farms!

It definitely made going back to the classroom today bittersweet.

01/08/2023

So today we started the finishing of miss Eve here!
Eve belongs to a wonderful lady in our neighborhood, and received a full 30 days of training but has been mostly sitting since. So we’re helping her get desensitized and will eventually join us for a few trails to help get her back into shape and settled down!

12/04/2022

Well the rains this week caused us to cancel all of our Sunday lessons. We are completely soaked out. But our new addition Walker is sure enjoy carrots from the living room window!

We’ll see everyone next weekend!

Starting December 19th, weekday lessons and trail rides will be available for Christmas break!

It was a great weekend of lessons this weekend!
Lua, Dixie, and Vega had a great time helping some first time riders learn today!

11/13/2022

Busy morning of lessons yesterday!
Dixie in the morning was killing it helping Bri to have better balance.

Earlier this week, we got an unusual request that we were happy to help with. So we finished out the day with our first ever pony party! Lua and Vega got all dolled up to celebrate a little one’s third birthday.

We had such a good day of lessons!
Having Vega back with us made the day extra special ❤️

Hey everybody!
Finally updating the page after the moving nonsense!

Rising Star Farms is now in Casa Grande on our own property!

Lua, Cosmo, Vega, Reia, and Nova seem to love it here!

07/02/2022

After a nice break during the summer heat, lessons are resuming!!
Lessons will resume the last week of July. Please feel to reach out and schedule before then.
I look forward to seeing everyone again!

Horseback riding is a family event here at Rising Star Farms!

We had a fun trail ride this morning to celebrate Mother’s Day early for this family!

05/07/2022

Today was a different kind of day! We had some out of state visitors! Nothing like riding into an Arizona sunset to end a trip in AZ for them!
They also set the record for number of horses used for a single group! Nova, Mavis, Vega, Cosmo, Star, Aurora, and Lua were up for the task taking us out!

04/25/2022

It was a family lesson day for the Grover girls yesterday morning! Vega, Cosmo, Mavis, and Star were happy to help pose for a picture! Lessons are offered one on one or for the family. Ask us about our multi-rider rates!

It is with heavy hearts we share that Sky has gone over the rainbow bridge. Sky had a broken patella from a fluke accident, and after lots of second opinions it was recommended we end her pain.

If you have any pictures of her you’d like to share, please post or send them to us. She was a special girl that touched many lives.

04/21/2022

Fantastic lesson tonight! I think we hit a winning combo here with Mohammad and Cosmo!
Believe it or not this was our first time putting Cosmo on our barrels!

If interested in getting into barrels or coming to meet Cosmo please reach out to schedule a lesson with us!

Happy Easter from our family to yours!
Looking forward to seeing everyone back for lessons this week!
