We absolutely adore J&B Feed and Hay. This is a ln almost 20 year old relationship we have mutually maintained, and the service and quality of hay and feed continues to improve. Everyone is professional and kind, and they’re very thorough in knowing their products and understanding how to serve their customer base well.

Thank you to our Agave sponsor Escobedo Outdoor Services LLC.

After this year’s ice storm Mark and his crew have been a huge asset to our central Texas community cleaning up brush and land, which they also did for us at the farm. They also do fencing, concrete, and more.

They’re prompt, professional, and kind.

Thanks to our sponsor, champion task manager and resident trainer Ashley Shaw Dressage. While keeping everything ticking and minding all of the ducks, she’s still running her business, riding a full schedule, maintaining the barn and trying to help everyone become the best version of themselves. She is competing in the show this weekend as well, and has limited availability for new clients in training, as well as lessons starting in September.
