We have two more puppies that are still looking for their forever home! 💕 They love being with people, playing, and hanging out on the farm.

The Red-Tri female likes to help herd sheep and has great herding instincts. She also enjoys snuggling with people.

The Black-Tri female enjoys running, jumping and will be great at agility. She also likes to ride on the side by side and go for car rides.

They both have so much potential and can be great for many different activities. They also love to snuggle and are so calm inside and would be great companions.

Make Them Carry the Saddle

An EC Blog by Hannah Campbell Zapletal

"A father of darling girl and I were talking last week and he said that he wanted his daughter to ride more and not have to do the work part of the catching, grooming, and saddling. I smiled as I explained.

When you groom your horse (especially currying), you are toning your arms and stabilizing your core.

When you carry your saddle, your arms, chest, and back are doing isolated strengthening work."

Summer camps are here!
We are so excited to offer two 2 day camps this year! We also have a 1 day camp offered on August 4th.

Wondering why you should send your child to horse camp? Here are a few of our favorite reasons!
1) Horse camp is a great way to get your child out of this house to experience new things, create lasting memories, and make new friends!
2) Campers will have daily education on topics including general care, safety, nutrition, anatomy, and more! They'll be having so much fun they won't realize they're learning 😉
3) Campers will have daily ride time and will practice safe handling skills.

Spots are limited with a minimum of 3 campers per camp. Each camp is $150 with an non-refundable deposit of $75 to reserve your spot. Please pm me for more info or to sign up! Already decided you want your child to go? Feel free to sign up using the link below!

Here at Schwab Performance Horses we strive to not only create horseman but we also love watching our students grow as humans. We are SO excited to announce our new summer reading program! This program is open to the public and will be held 1-2pm every Tuesday for the summer! Children can bring their favorite books from home or borrow one from our library! All ages are allowed and parents must be with their child. Please pm me for more info or feel free to just drop in next Tuesday 😉

Why read to horses?
1) Horses help build confidence. They don't judge if you miss said a word or stumbled over a sentence. They are just happy to be there!
2) Don't let your child fall into the summer slump! Horses are a great way to get your child excited about reading while still increasing their education!
3) Horses help create memories and new friendships

🥰 Put your daughter in the barn.

Put an animal before her and watch as magic takes shape.

Watch as she learns every aspect of that animal.

Watch as she learns to care about herself.

See character built. See self respect blossom.

Put your daughter in the barn.

Stand quietly by as she watches life begin and end. Feel her Spirit find its confident path.

Let the barn teach the lessons of life as only the barn can do. From good sportsmanship to a humble champion put your daughter in the barn.

Let the stalls bear witness to her tears over that first crush. Let the shavings and straw with a pitchfork in hand bear the brunt of her anger.

Put your daughter in the barn.

And when time comes calling and adulthood looms...
What an amazing daughter you will see.

All for the love of a beautiful barn.

Put your daughter in the barn.
