Stall available November 1st! One of our horses is going home for the winter which leaves us with a stall available! While we all have our own schedule—some take a break for the winter, others wants to keep eyes on goal for the next year. So here is the perfect opportunity for someone looking for a place to keep their horse and ride all winter long. This stall could also be available for a training horse or a rehab type situation. We are under construction and this could also be a permanent spot for someone as well!

Indoor ring, wash stall, personal tack lockers and our climate controlled viewing room is next on our construction list! We have a few trails, excellent care, quality hay and forage diet. We love keeping our horses happy and provide maximum turnout. Small turnout with a a buddy or group turnout. Maybe that isn’t your horses thing—we can talk! Training, lessons, horse showing. All breeds and disciplines are welcome.

Weekend work. My goal over the last three weekends (when we aren’t horse showing 🤣) was to get one project completed per weekend. Goal met 🥳🤩 It’s been a lot of blood, work, sweat and..a few moments of frustration—ok mostly sweat 😅 and work 💪—but my vision of how I wanted my barn is starting to finally come a reality.

A very special thank for to those who’ve spent their weekends helping me keep the project rolling! ❤️

Brought to you by The Plaidcast The road to the top of the hunter/jumper world isn’t paved with ribbons. It’s laid with early mornings, sweat equity, and an unwavering work ethic. Few people understand this better than Don Stewart, a renowned trainer known for producing top equitation riders and...

Training Spot Available September 1! Unfortunately a client who reserved a stall for September has had to postpone— but lucky for someone else looking to send their horse somewhere—we have just the place!

All breeds and disciplines welcome. We LOVE thoroughbreds. Whether your horse needs conditioning, miles, fine tuning or furthering their basics—we would love to be part of your journey!

I have an opening to add a rider or two for the upcoming 2026 show season. Welcoming kids or adults of all levels to join us!

Riders will have weekly PRIVATE lessons and be eligible to participate in a variety of levels of showing from 4-H, local and rated. These lesson and show opportunities are limited to those with serious horse show interest and goals at this time. Please inquire for an introductory lesson and schedule availability.

Not all riding lessons are created equal. There are two types of instructors in the horse world: the ones who teach kids to “get on and go,” and the ones who take the time to build true horsemen.

The “get on and go” instructors focus on the ride- heels down, hold the reins, go, turn, then go faster! Kids might learn to post the trot and steer through cones, but they miss the deeper connection. These lessons might look impressive on the surface, but what happens when something goes wrong? When a horse bucks, spooks, or simply says “no”?

Then there are the instructors who break it down. The ones who do more than just ride. They teach children how to groom with intention, to recognize a horse’s body language and moods. They emphasize equitation, patience, and respect. The ride isn’t rushed. It’s earned. These kids learn to care for the horse before asking anything from it.

One method turns out riders.
The other creates horsemen.
