Anyone in the Lawrence area looking for part-time work? We could use one more person on our Work crew. Primarily feeding and still cleaning, but if you know how to drive a tractor that is a bonus! Pay is dependent on experience.

STALL BOARDING AVAILABLE

A client has reached their goal of being able to keep their horses at home, so we will have two stalls available by October 1, 2025. Wonder Pony Farm is located just south of Clinton Lake in Lawrence, KS, a short ride to Rockhaven Park horse trails. Stall horses get maximum turnout, in small groups, on lovely grass pastures. Indoor and two outdoor arenas, climate controlled tack room, hot/cold wash stall, fly spray system. Brome and prairie hay are available. Lessons and training available on site from two certified instructors, and we host outside clinicians as time allows. Barn scheduled vet, farrier, and chiropractor appointments available, or you can use the practitioners of your choosing. Call or text 785-393-4852 to set up a visit!

A big welcome to Dora, Athena, and Toothless. They will be 10 weeks old on Sunday. They’re becoming more adventurous, and are very food motivated. We look forward to watching them grow, and having them underfoot around the barn.
