Great last rides this week! It's never ever easy and it feels like I could ride all of them forever.

But the goal is to be apart of their journey and assist in their training and finding homes. ❤️

This one is the WHOLE package! Registered, beautiful, amazing personality, and in foal.

Name: RY STYLISH SUGAR BUSH Registered APHA Mare
Age: 11
Height: 14.3hh approx
Temperament: beginner friendly

📍Location: Millersburg, OH

Let her video tell her story!!! - https://youtu.be/EML7t2DoAQk?si=Q-GCn1Oz7-ltca_T

Sugar is an amazing paint mare looking for her next family. She is out of a Smart Little Lena and Peptos Stylish Oak bred mare and by an own son of Blantons O Too Cool (a successful rope horse).
She is confirmed in foal to the cutting stallion HASHTAG BLUES who is an own son of HASHTAGS. She is due Feb 10th 2026. She has had 1 other foal in 2024 by the same stallion and the owner is very pleased with the filly.

"Sugar" is well broke at the walk, trot, and canter. She is soft in the bridle and has a great whoa. She is beginner friendly and does well on the trails. She isn't bothered by the jugs, tarp, or anything really. She has a great personality, loves pets, and is easy to get along with.

She currently is being ridden in the arena, on the trails, and giving some lessons. She is regularly helping an older man get ready for a packing trip of his dreams!

Leads, loads, ties, stands for farrier and saddling. Wears front shoes, can cough sometimes with hay dust, and is middle-high in the pecking order.

She would be a fantastic addition to a breeding program and/or as a family horse! We really only have great things to say about her.

This month will be a lot at one time but it's all good because I have an AMAZING support system.❤️

I was thinking tonight about how badly I wanted to "go on my own," a couple of years ago. I wanted to do it myself and honestly be alone in the barn. It was a time of transition and exploring what being a business owner means (still learning). This year is so different where I realize I want people on the boat with me and I guess I'm just steering (sort of). 🚣‍♀️

I really couldn't do it all without my assistant, Melinda. She reads my mind and I always tell her she is my extra brain cells when I need to cover everything. 🫣 She has been around for a couple of years now. She's a rare one and a darned good one.

I also have 2-3 other ladies that come and help and are learning how to be around horses or enjoying the peace of the barn. One even brings her baby. I just tear up thinking of what a special place we are creating with an atmosphere of peace, growth, learning, and enjoyment.

Tonight was a ton of fun getting the horses worked. Melinda did some chores and then we did a bandage change, rode 4, 2 groundwork sessions, and final chores.

It's a busy and crazy life but I love these animals and teaching young people. What a blessing it is to be exhausted from the challenge of my own choosing. And what a blessing it is to have a community of people that help and want to learn. I couldn't have asked for more.

It's happening... people are finding out that I can help rehome horses. And it's all happening at once! Here's the next one I visited tonight. I like him a lot!

Name: Rio
Age: 10
Height: 14.2hh approx
Pinto Gaited gelding

Rio is the cutest gaited horse you've ever laid eyes on. He is broke to ride WTC and is good on the trails. He picks up his feet, stands for the farrier, cross ties and hard ties. He has been to Salt Fork State Park and rides well with other horses. His owner has mostly ridden him alone on the trails and he does good. He moves out on the trail and is easy to get along with. He does sometimes look at things on the side of the road or around the barn. He would do great for anyone who wants to ride a comfortable gait in the woods! Good home is a must!
