☃️ Looking ahead for the next few months - here’s what’s on the schedule for the barn!

☃️ Yes! We do group and private lessons year-round, for our hardy and dedicated riders. Our fall group riding session will wrap up the week of Thanksgiving!

☃️ In December we take a break from groups and offer only private and semi-private lessons. Remember, if you are in the barn club you need to schedule your complimentary private classes!

☃️ Our 12th annual Christmas in the Barn party will be Dec. 21! Our entire barn family and their friends are welcome to attend this living nativity, caroling and hot cocoa event.

☃️ In January we will resume group class for the 8-week winter session. Those classes are already available here: https://CBracketRidingSchedule.as.me/WinterRiding

This would be a great learning opportunity for any horse/rider team!

It looks like Saturday, November 1st, will be a beautiful day for the working equitation derby and obstacle practice! It's a great opportunity to have fun with obstacles and enjoy a friendly, lively derby atmosphere. You don't need to preregister—just come by if you're feeling excited and ready to join in. Comment below if you're planning to be there!

🏆 Congrats to Sahalie for leveling up to Level 2 in the C Bracket Riding School!

🏆 Sahalie has been working so hard on finding her posting rhythm at the trot, and last night it all came together for her! Thanks to our lesson horse Midnight for being a steady mount with a great tempo to help her out. 🙌

Despite the size difference, these two did really well together in our pairs challenge during English class tonight! 🐴:: Dicka (Percheron cross) and Denny (Fjord cross)

Also, that snowstorm came in with a vengeance just as we were starting our beginner class! So thankful for the cozy indoor to ride in. 🐴:: Jill and Abigail, who just weaned their fillies and will be back in the riding group soon!

Lastly, we’ve had great fun getting to know our travel nurse Liz from Lander over the last six weeks or so! She’s been faithfully traveling to see us every week to learn horsemanship from the ground up. Now she’s on to Spokane! 🐴 :: H***h

🎃 Our 2025 Treat Trot is in the books!

🎃 We had 34(ish??) riders join us, all ages and skills from beginner to adults! They completed a five-stop scavenger hunt for beginners, and an eight-stop scavenger hunt spread across a couple miles for the intermediate-advanced riders.

🎃 Thanks to the helpers who came to help man the stations! Riders had to complete a horsemanship challenge at each station to earn their treats.

Yesterday was such a gorgeous fall day and the barn was busy!

In the midst of all the boarders, lessees and students who were here riding, Grace, Sky and I were able to get all five new draft crosses out for rides. They are all doing great, and are available for rehome either now or in the spring. They are excellent calm and mild-mannered trail horses!

⭐️ Congratulations to Emma for graduating to Level 5 in the C Bracket Riding School!

⭐️ Emma has been in our program a number of years and has steadily advanced and deepened her horsemanship knowledge. She is now one of our key wranglers as well and has been a great set of hands around the barn during day camps in the summer.

⭐️ Our lesson horse Denny, a 5 year old home-raised Fjord cross gelding, helped Emma level up!

Our more experienced class tonight had some fun on the obstacles, since the wind went down! Overall, I was really impressed with how the students did with their horses even over the more difficult challenges.

Big and small, we love them all! 17 hands high, versus 11.2. This is Snap and Kip, two candidates that will be entered in the Cody Horse Sale next spring.

We had a windy day today, but our adult classes hid in the indoor and were able to get some productive work done!

Just a few of our private lesson riders from today. ♥️ The wind may have been frightful, but the indoor was really pretty nice!

Upcoming at the barn: our annual horseback Treat Trot!

This is a horseback scavenger hunt - find treat locations on the map, then perform a horsemanship skill to earn your treat.

🎃 Saturday, Oct 25
🎃 10 am - 12 pm
🎃 Free for fall group riding students & barn club members - it’s included in lesson fees!
🎃 RSVP with your horse request soon.
🎃 Costumes are an option but not required.
🎃 Kid and adult riders welcome

Last year we did this during regular group lessons, but this year we are doing it on a Saturday in place of our October unmounted class. We lost too much daylight in the evening group lessons, and this way everyone will get to enjoy it!

The October makeup class will follow the Treat Trot at 1 pm.
