Thank you Mr. Smiley for connecting South Haven School’s summer enrichment program with Down the Rail Ranch. It was an absolute pleasure horsing around with you all. I think some pretty cool learning may have occurred as an added bonus 🐴💯😂🐎☀️

I couldn’t be more proud of this little bo**er. Baybee Percy aka Son of a Gentlemen nailed his debut lunge line class as well as his first ever in hand trail and showmanship classes. He earned high point in the newly created green horse division at Red Flannel Saddle Club. Thanks RFSC for putting on a great show!!!

Guys!!!! Baybee Percy is FAMOUS. We are forever grateful to Dr. VanderBroek and the entire MSU team for transforming Percy's dire situation into a "Happily ever after" story. Go Green!

Thanks to advancements in equine orthopedic surgery, fractures that once would have been considered end-of-the-road are not always so dire. Here’s how Spartan veterinarians helped Percy return to full function after a broken leg.
