📢📢 Introducing our October horse of the month: AppleJack!

Applejack was born in MO in 2019 and is six this year! Applejack has spent the summer receiving his higher education at "horse college" a.k.a. Dave and Marsha's barn in Hot Springs! Dave has put many miles on AJ and he has officially joined the lesson horse herd.

Check out part 1 of his interview to find out what AJ thinks of being a lesson horse!

“From fresh-faced c**t to seasoned heartthrob — Jerez has always known his angles. 😎📸

Behold: ‘The Look’ — perfected over the years. Same smolder, just a few extra braids and even more confidence.

Move over, GQ… it’s time for EQ Magazine (Equine Quarterly, of course). 💅🐴✨ ”

Throwback Thursday: Then & Now: Jerez

Look how much this handsome boy has grown in 9 years! Kat got Jerez as a yearling and he was so dark. Did you know that horses with the gray gene get lighter and lighter as they age?

Jerez is also considered gray and not white because he has gray or dark skin. A true white horse has pink skin.

For current riders: here is the horse costume line up for our upcoming Oct 25 Halloween farm show. There will be a costume contest around lunchtime where horses will be dressed in their costumes and riders can lead or walk with any of the horses in a coordinating/matching costume. Prizes for best costume, best coordinating costume, etc.

This is for current riders only. If you want your child to ride in their costume please check with your instructor to make sure it is safe and will not scare the horse!

✨🏡 Valkyrie is officially putting in her notice as Barn Cat Extraordinaire and is seeking a new position as Professional House Cat. She says she’s had enough of patrolling hay bales and supervising horse shenanigans—she’s ready for the good life of couch naps, window sunbeams, and maybe a human lap or two (or three).

Valkyrie is a sweet, super cuddly girl who has done some indoor living before and adjusted beautifully. She does have recurring urinary tract infections, so she’s on a special food to help manage those, but otherwise we don’t know of any health concerns.

If you’ve been looking for a snuggly little sidekick who has already earned her “tough barn cat” badge and is ready to enjoy her retirement in style, Valkyrie would love to meet you. Message us if you'd like to inquire about adopting! 💕🐾

Did You Know?

Horses have an incredible field of vision, but did you know they can’t see directly in front of or behind them? 🤔 This is why it's important to be extra cautious when approaching them from these areas!

At Dutch Acres, we always ensure our riders and guests understand horse behavior to keep everyone safe and happy.

Keep this fun fact in mind next time you’re around our horses—they’ll appreciate it!
