On March 1st, 725 Stables will be closing down the boarding facility. This is a decision that did not come lightly, to be letting down the amazing boarders that we took on…

With that being said, I don’t see this as a failure. Our client’s horses have been and will continue to be well taken care of until they leave. We tried to take advantage of this facility on the property, and quickly learned it wasn’t for us.

If you are a boarder, THANK your boarding facility. Odds are, they aren’t making any profit taking care of your horse, which helps makes it possible for you to have a horse without owning your own barn. This is a labor intensive and expensive business, maintaining fence, massive building/buildings, riding arenas, parking lots, manure, pasture maintenance, etc. on top of daily horse needs. And many boarding facility owners also have a regular 9-5 job in order to make ends meet.

I’m proud of us for trying something new, putting our heart, soul and hard earned money into a facility that needed A LOT of love, and making it a little bit better. Im proud of us for being aware of when the math and our souls were starting to go the wrong direction, and knowing when to call it quits.

Fortunately I have a smart, supportive man by my side, and a successful career to have peace in the next step, and blessed to be able to have this property for personal use. This was something I dreamed about since being a kid, and this new direction will ensure that there will be time to actually enjoy the property.

A rider who had her 33-year-old mare put down after 30 years together has urged others in the same situation to do the right thing – rather than rehome or neglect elderly horses. Belinda Morris was heartbroken to lose thoroughbred Smartie, whom she bought as a three-year-old, but was there to ensu...

Looking for a stall cleaner, DM for more details

I will never be able to describe the power of time spent cleaning stalls.

During this time I have made some of the biggest decisions in my life. I have silently thought my way, step by step, through some of the biggest disasters of my life. I have ugly cried my way through heartbreak all while cleaning stalls. I’ve thrown bags of sawdust in range as I thought about all of the sh*tty things going on in my life. Each stall has oddly given me a place of comfort as I stood, fork in hand, feeling empty during the times I’ve felt so alone. It has taught me to appreciate the serenity of the quiet. Realizing the ones in my life I can count on and the numerous fake people who are only present when convenient for themselves. I’ve enjoyed a free gym membership, as I’ve sculpted my back and shoulders into “he man”, just sifting away. I’ve stumbled my way, dry heaving, with sunglasses ....cleaning stalls through last night’s hangover, because god forbid my best friend be forced to stand in a dirty stall. Today I spend my morning, cleaning stalls and processing my life. I’m mentally making life changing decisions, as I write this post, knowing that whatever I decide, it will be the right one, as it was made in a stall.

I understand that there are those who think us horse people should get “real” jobs. And that all we do is spend our days “playing” around. I’m genuinely sorry that you have never been exposed to a lifestyle that teaches you discipline, how to love unconditionally, put something other then yourself first, bust your ass for the things you want and need, kept humble by a 1200 lb animal, the real meaning of “hard work”, early mornings and late nights spent caring for something other than YOU. Those are things a “real job” will never give you.

Some of you haven’t cleaned stalls .....and it shows.
