Your biggest breakthrough often happens when nobody else is around to see it.

Just because there wasnt a crowd to cheer doesn't make that progress any less important.

That quiet place where you and ypur horse can think through an exercise and be even 1% better at it than you were last time.....that is where the real work happens.

Here's to the quiet successes you have today. 💪👏👏👏

There is currently an outbreak of EHV. While we don't participate in the type of events where this outbreak originated, we do educste riders of all disciplines. We are taking precautions to ensure the health of the horses here and at other facilities.

Our providers (farrier, massage therapist, etc) are aware of our concerns and take biosecurity seriously. They are as committed to the health of our horses as we are.

We are not permitting haul in lessons for the next two weeks. We also will not be hauling to other facilities. We ask that if you have been to other barns, please disinfect boots, gloves, etc. before coming here.

With some precautions, we can keep our horses safe and get back to showing/hauling very soon.

12 Powerful Reasons Why Everyone Needs a Horse in Their Life
(Yes, even you, city dweller )

They teach patience
Horses don’t rush. Being with them grounds you in the present moment.

They heal the soul
That warm breath on your hand? Sometimes more powerful than therapy.

‍ Natural stress relievers
A few quiet minutes with a horse can clear your mind like nothing else.

They build responsibility
Feeding, cleaning, caring — no excuses. You show up or you don’t earn their trust.

They reconnect us with nature
In a world of screens, horses remind us what real presence feels like.

Trust without words
You can’t fake it with a horse. They know if your heart is true.

Emotional intelligence boosters
Reading energy, body language, moods — horses make us more human.

They empower children
Confidence, courage, empathy — all grown from a bond with a gentle giant.

Loyal friends, no drama
They won’t gossip, judge, or ghost you. Just pure, honest connection.

Fitness without the gym
Riding, lifting hay bales, mucking stalls — it’s a full-body workout (with cuddles).

They get you outside
Rain or shine, your horse is waiting — and you never regret showing up.

They bring magic into everyday life
There’s something deeply enchanted in the way they look at you. Every time.

Learning begins with wonder,
grows through effort,
settles through practice,
and becomes part of who we are.

Horses teach us that learning is not about perfection — it’s about presence. Awareness grows, understanding deepens, and feel develops over time. What begins as conscious effort slowly melts into instinct, connection, and harmony. Every ride, every session, every question is part of the evolution.

Stay curious.

🐴 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭 — 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡.

This has been on my mind a lot ..
We keep talking about burnout in the horse world — but what if it isn’t burnout?
What if it’s just caring too deeply, for too long, without a break?

Because we don’t clock off at 5pm.
We don’t switch off our phones or our brains.
We lie awake wondering if the one that didn’t finish their feed is okay,
or if the weather’s going to turn the fields into soup again.

We say “I’m fine” while doing twelve things at once, running on coffee, hay dust and stubbornness.
We hold space for everyone else’s horses, emotions, and emergencies — but who holds space for us?

And when we finally show we’re tired, someone always says,
“Well, you chose this life.”
As if loving something means it shouldn’t exhaust you.

But it’s okay to be tired.
It’s okay to need a day off.
It’s okay to love this life and still feel like it’s breaking you sometimes.

Because the truth is, we don’t do it for money, or glory, or thanks.
We do it for the quiet moments —
the old horse resting his nose on your shoulder,
the rescue that finally trusts again,
the little wins no one else sees.

That’s what keeps us here.

So if you’re reading this and you’re running on fumes — you’re not weak.
You’re human. You just care more than most. 💛

Ps. If anyone finds a “self-cleaning stable” or a “field that never turns to mud” setting in real life, please DM me immediately. I’ll sell a kidney for it. 😂
