Hotter today with a high heat index.

We will not be offering rides again today August 18, 2025 due to excessive heat. Looking forward to relief from all this hot weather. We will begin riding again this coming Wednesday.

Dexter is taking immense pleasure in his bath and cooling down in this oppressive heat. In light of the current heat warning, we will not be providing any rides through Wednesday, July 30, 2025. We will continue to closely monitor the condition of our horses, ensuring the safety and well-being of both horses and staff.

07/26/2025

We will not be offering horse rides this Sunday July 27, 2025 due to the continuation of heat advisories. We will keep everyone posed on a daily basis until heat advisories/warnings are lifted.

Thank you for your understanding.

Wanted to let everyone know we will not be offering any rides tomorrow July 24,2025 due to the extreme heat warning. Multiple days of high heat has its effect on both horses and staff.

Staff will be caring for horses and monitoring their condition in this prolonged heat spell. With night time temperatures remaining in the upper 70's it is more difficult for the horses to recover from the high day time temperatures.

Stay safe everyone and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Thank you for your understanding!!
