Due to illness, the Open Barn Birthday is postponed until a later date to be determined. The amazing girls from Shooting Star Specialty Acts will still be coming and working their horses throughout the day, in case there are some visitors who would still like to stop by and see them. Please sign in and if you're interested in riding lessons, there will be a sheet to sign up for those as well. We're so very sorry! Stay tuned for our "rain date" to be announced soon!!

Feed has nearly doubled, but we've kept our fees low since we opened. "Just the Husband" says, "if the horses are going to eat, we're gonna have to raise our rates April 1 - no foolin'." The good news, is... if you're a student rider with us on March 31, your rates won't go up a penny. When you're loyal to us, we're loyal to you! Continue lessons at KCHC and your fee is protected. So are those nice tack store discounts. How kool is that?!

03/08/2023

This weekend is time to trim the whiskers... on the equines of course! Come join us and get the chance to practice the basics on a real fuzzy horse. Sunday afternoon after church, meet us at the barns on Laurel Lane 1 - 4pm. Cya then!

03/05/2023

Got a saddle that needs TLC? Bring it on over! This afternoon is Tack Cleaning Day at Kirksville Community Horse Center Clubhouse- Come join us anytime 11-4 and spring clean your leather, see some neat stuff and have your tack questions answered. The saddle soap's on us, LOL!

02/22/2023

We appreciate LOYALTY so much, when you keep riding at KCHC... your fee is protected! Aaaaahhh. One less worry

02/20/2023

Stay tuned for Hippology/Horse Day Camp! No age restrictions. Horse ownership not necessary. Final details coming very soon.

Save your spot - We'd love to know if you or your favorite horse lover would be interested in spending a few days getting practical experience learning tons about our favorite four-leggeds. Starting at the basics, our goal is to begin creating a strong foundation for those who would like to get serious about anything equine. This is our first group, but if it goes well, there will be more to follow as students gain skills and are interesting in learning even more!

Includes: Horse Safety, Barn Safety, Basic Equine First Aid and Emergencies, Trailering, Tack, Grooming and Hoof Care, Nutrition and Feeding, Conformation, Buying a Horse and Barn Management. Learn by actually doing everything from building the right bridle, putting out a barn fire and taking your horse's vitals, to building a detailed barn notebook and the chance to do some horse related art for display later. When finished, students are invited to exhibit their projects at the KCHC Open Barn Celebration in May. Course will include most or all supplies.

Now this is our first go in Kirksville, so if you have any suggestions or ideas, please let us know how to make it better. Which do you think would work better for you..... Spring Break week or every weekend for approximately a month? Let us hear your thoughts!! Class starts soon, and spaces are limited. Dates and $$ TBD

Our very FIRST Birthday is happening this May. Just as we promised, we're gonna be loaded with amazing demonstrations, horse related fun and games, and too much fun to talk about in a single post. Sooo you'll want to keep checking back as we start to unveil all the FREE fun we're packing into our birthday celebration May 14 - 15!

Hoooey, SO much to talk about! Don't forget to share with those horse loving friends of yours.....

07/22/2021

WOW! So much happening here since our opening May 7th. Busy, busy, busy. If you have a question or need to get in touch with someone here, please call and leave a message if necessary at 660.342.6118 The South cell tower is still apparently under construction and has hit our ability to communicate HARD. I also do not answer the phone during lessons, which are most of the day. Please have patience with us. We did not anticipate that simply getting a phone call or text through would be such an enormous hurdle.

05/15/2021

Thank You to EVERYONE who came out for our Grand Opening ribbon cutting, dedication, demonstrations, games and tours. We plan to make our anniversary a yearly event, full of horse activities and educational fun!

Thanks to Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce for getting us off to a marvelous start!

05/07/2021

Today is the day!!! Opening day!! We hope to see you here this evening or tomorrow for our opening weekend. We are so very excited for all the fun that will be had. We aren't letting the weather tomorrow dampen our spirits or our fun.

04/13/2021

Kirksville Community Horse Center's Grand Opening is scheduled for Friday, May 7, and Saturday, May 8. We're planning some exciting things to see and do including amazing demonstrations and even special events for the horse-loving kids in your life. Don't miss us - Put the date in your calendar!

03/21/2021

Not getting a reply to your message here?
We're not quite fully open yet, so busy, busy, busy! With only me checking Facebook, I'm missing a ton of messages. Please call or text us at 660.342.6118 any time. We have lousy cell coverage here as well, so texting is usually best when possible. Most importantly, we DON'T WANT TO MISS YOU! 🐴

03/01/2021

It's finally March, and with that comes spring rains and the warmer days that make us all yearn to spend time with our equine friends. Arena time is still available for those getting ready for show and competition season, or just to come out and play!
