Our newest addition to the herd baby Guinness is as sweet as they come 🥰🍺🦄 he’s got a long road ahead of him, but we sure know how to fatten them up and spoil them here and I’m so excited for his journey to come!

On March 25, 2022 I brought home a beaten down, used up and thrown away ex Amish horse. Although seemingly fine at first glance, he was morbidly obese to the point of being unhealthy, had maggots in cuts on his legs, terrible hooves, and scars from the harness. The kindest, sweetest, most gentle soul was still inside though. Titan became the MOST beloved, spoiled and healthy horse. Despite his squamous cell carcinoma (eye cancer), cushings, arthritis, etc, he was the absolute best lesson horse we could have ever asked for. He was steady, saintly, and just about everything you could want or ask for. So many of our riders have experienced meandering through the trails on him, albeit slow, but just wonderful.
Titan sadly got seriously injured in the field this morning and our wonderful vets came right out. There was absolutely nothing we could do and the only choice we could make was to let him go. We will miss Titan dearly, he was so deeply loved and the definition of a gentle giant. I know many of our students have so much love for Titan so if you have any questions about how it happened or would like some answers please feel free to ask. Knowledge about this is a teaching moment and something I’m happy (but sad) to share. I’d like to think about all his amazing memories and love he shared with every person his kind soul has touched.

Whisper is a gorgeous, 10 yo, 15.1h chestnut mare. Comfortable, uphill canter, virtually bombproof, very quiet, easy ride. She is a seasoned polo pony and foxhunter, has been used in a lesson program, and trail rides the best. Has foxhunted both second and third field with Snickersville Hounds with a 10 year old kid! This versatile girl checks all the boxes. Located in Manassas, Va. https://youtu.be/jETi_VUogls?si=_mkfJ-9s1yp8BmyL

Thank you to our amazing farrier Dusty Crooke we are so lucky to have you!!

It's National Farriers Week! Let's celebrate the hard work that our farriers put in daily to partner with equine veterinarians and ensure the health and well-being of our horses. Proper hoof care is essential for a sound and happy horse, so it goes without saying that a skilled farrier is both a necessity and a tremendous asset.

Don't forget to give a shoutout to your farriers this week and show them your appreciation for their dedication to their craft!

“Luck of the Irish” aka Shannon is a 14.2hh, 13yo handsome, grey Connemara gelding. Has been in a lesson program the past year teaching all ages and levels. Super saintly, point and shoot over jumps. No spook. He is perfect on trails alone or in a group and will cross anything. Shannon has a very smooth and comfortable canter, super adjustable trot, and lunges beginners like a dream. Takes care of his rider from crossrails to 2’6. Tons of local show experience, does have a change but not auto. Does best in a program.

Absolutely darling, 8yo, 12.1hh, true black registered Welsh pony mare. Moonshine is saintly and jumps around a 2’ course with ease, a gem to have in any lesson program. Super brave to jumps and never looky. Hacks out on the buckle, tons of local show experience with all levels of riders. Has schooled lots of cross country and has tons of trail miles. Will teach all levels from beginners on the lunge to kids learning to canter and jump. Has her changes just not auto yet. Yes she can be mareish but is very safe with not too much pony-tude, except when grass is very tall 😂 One of the best brains you could ever find.

To the BEST of homes only. *Looking for a home up north or very low intensity home due to heaves!* London is a super sweet, 18yo, 15.3hh versatile and willing grey warmblood mare. Has been used in a lesson program for many years, has tons of shows under her belt, and can literally do it all. Due to her age she needs a step down with no jumping and someone that understands heaves. My barn is sadly just not set up for it. She is a forward yet easy ride, she is a very educated horse. USHJA lifetime registered. Does require some maintenance. Located in Manassas, Va. Please pm me if you think you could be a good forever home for this perfect girl 🙂 https://youtu.be/cuTLuNJ4IHs?si=DDHywiYZEIya5qT-
