Who loves the weather outlook this weekend? 🙋‍♀️ Lessons will be held outside this weekend! Please wear layers, it's easy to take something off, but hard to put something on when you don't have it.

For those that knew of the old mare in the first stall in my barn, Jessie, she has passed. She was 36 this year and lived a great life.
Her owner, Jessica, and a close friend of mine passed away in April of 2024. They were one of the best bonded pairs you would have ever seen in the 4H pen. They can now be bonded once more.

In regards to the last post, here is a clear explanation of what this act will do.

All my horse lovers, friends, trainers, barn mates, students, etc. This is the link to the petition to remove the rules being set in place by the "Horse Protection Act". You will not be allowed to use FLY SPRAY or LINIMENT at any shows. No padded shoes, wedges, etc. This does not apply to rodeo or races, but I know so many who show English disciplines that it does apply to.

Lessons will be canceled 1/4 through 1/7 due to low temps. Please remember that if temps or windchill is below 20°, I will cancel. Lessons will not need to be paid due to weather. Weather is out of anyone's control.

Happy new year students, parents, and future students! This month we are doing a package deal, 8 lessons for $200. Lessons normally run $30 each. Please reach out if you are wanting lessons for yourself, sibling, friend, or child.

I have seen lots of nervous and scared students, and I have seen them achieve the parts they are nervous and scared of. That smile and confidence boost is why I teach beginners.

Friendly reminder that I will call lessons if wind chill is 20° F or below and/or actual temperature is 20° F or below. That is too old for myself, horses, and students. Lessons can be made up on a warmer day, even on non-lesson days (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday).

Also, I no longer offer 6pm lessons and will not offer 6pm lessons going forward. This decision was made in July after the tornado.
