🌟 Bittersweet Farewell 🌟

Today, we’re sending off one of our very own, Drew, as he embarks on an exciting new chapter in his life at SUNY Cobleskill! 🎓 While we’ll miss his hard work, dedication, and that ever-present smile around the farm, we’re so proud of all he’s achieved and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.

Drew, you’ve been an invaluable part of our team, and the impact you’ve made on the farm, our horses, clients, and all of us will be felt long after you’ve left. Your passion and work ethic will serve you well in this next adventure, and we know you’ll do amazing things!

Please join us in wishing Drew the best of luck as he heads off to college. We’re sure this is just the beginning of a very bright future for him! 🌟🐴

** Event Calendar Alert **

Due to much interest but many scheduling conflicts, we will be postponing our July beginner riding camp to August 6th and 7th. If your child is already registered through our website's calendar, you're good to go! If you have not yet registered your child, please do so to ensure your child has a space to join in on the fun. Appreciate everyone's flexibility and looking forward to our August camp on the farm 😀🐴

☀️🐴 HEAT WAVE ALERT 🐴☀️

Due to the heat wave forecasted for this week, we have decided to cancel all lessons to ensure the safety and well-being of our horses, riders, and staff. Training sessions will be done in the early mornings to beat the heat.

Our horses will be pampered with lots of cool water, electrolytes, shaded hay areas, and fans where possible! They deserve the best, especially in this heat! A few popsicles may be thrown into the mix to top off their week vacation🧊🧊

We'll be back in the saddle on Saturday! Thank you for your understanding and patience. In the meantime, stay cool, stay hydrated, and remember your sunscreen!
