Congratulations to Leighann on her showing accomplishments this year!!! She has grown so much in her riding abilities and has worked so hard!! She competes against riders older than her and kicks butt. It is a privilege to be her instructor and watch her skills grow.

Project horse ready to be finished off. Jesse is an 8yr old grade mare, standing at 14.3hh, who came to us pregnant, completely untouched and fearful of humans. She has learned to trust and enjoy human interactions. After her filly was weaned we continued her training on to saddling, bridling and long lines. She has now been sat on a handful of times and is progressing well. Her training will continue but if anyone is looking for a project horse to finish off their way she’s an open book and can go in any direction with no limitations or maintenance. She is currently offered at low four figures starting with a 1. Located in Louisa, Virginia. Feel free to PM or call/text (540)308-9248.

Summer Camp Day 5: Finale….These campers knew how to end the week right!! We decided to end our week of horsing around with a showcase for the parents with each riders abilities and what they’ve been learning. The kids practiced their skills in the morning and all of their families came out early in the afternoon to watch as each rider demonstrated what they can do!!! Each camper took pride in getting their horses cleaned up and ready to show off!!! They also decorated beautiful frames to hold the pictures of them with their favorite horse from Heart to Heart Ranch!!! Great job this week Campers!!!!!

Summer Camp Day 4: Campers had much cooler weather today with overcast skies and a wonderful breeze!!! We took a trail ride up to see the new therapeutic barn that is being built. The campers also made some yummy horse treats for the horses to enjoy tomorrow. There was an afternoon rain shower, but that didn’t slow us down. Everyone spent the afternoon getting their favorite horse cleaned up and ready for the campers photo shoot, pics will be revealed tomorrow….stay tuned!!

Summer Camp Day 3: Speed was the word of the day. Campers worked on controlling not only their mounts direction using primarily seat and leg but also the speed in which their horses were going just by their seat and leg. Afterwards, the campers slowed it down completing their friendship shirts and enjoyed a cool lunch under the fans. After lunch, it was time to rev it back up for a Parts of the Saddle and Bridle relay race!!

Summer Camp Day 2: Today was a hot one but these campers did a great job staying cool. We decided today would be a great pool day. We had a fun morning riding first thing and campers working through new patterns using their seat and legs to communicate directions to their horses. Campers also had fun making their cool craft, tye dye bandannas. After everyone was all cleaned up and we turned out the cooled down horses, it was pool time. Everyone had a fun afternoon at the pool!!

First Day of Summer Camp: there’s something funny about how these kids are riding 😆
Had a fun day riding and learning some more first aid with leg bandaging.

Guess we need to add bear to our driveway animal crossing sign. One of the boarders took these photos this morning while out on their trail ride.

Summer Camp Day 5: Hard to believe our first week of summer camp has come to an end! Campers had the opportunity to swap camp horses with their fellow campers and swap tack too! They had a fun ride in the morning and stayed cool after lunch finishing up their intricate craft of horseshoe dreamcatchers. Teamwork and friendships grew over the past week and we look forward to our next camp at the ranch July 15-19!!

We want to give a huge shout out to Ms. T and Jennifer, our camp counselors!!! Ms. T was the crafting queen and kept the day to day operations running behind the scenes with the jr. counselors. Jennifer was our horse guru and ensured each camper/horse interaction was memorable and safe. Thank you ladies for running a fun summer horse camp!!!

Summer Camp Day 4: Campers watched Farrier Rick this morning take care of Finns feet and reset his shoes. Mr. Rick explained the importance of why having your horses feet trimmed on a regular schedule is important. They also enjoyed a trail ride around the Ranch, some barrel racing and finished off with some ba****ck relays!!

Summer Camp Day 3: camp is all about trying new experiences and making new friends! These campers are doing just that. Some are trying different disciplines but all are having fun creating new friendships during different activities. Today, campers learned the importance of maintaining their equipment through cleaning and checking for wear and tear. But then it was time for some cool fun and finished off the day with a fun craft!!
06/19/2024
This is a great bunch of information for this time of year!!! This week has especially been hot!! At the ranch, we focus lessons in early morning and late evening (as weather permits) and summer camps engage with horses during the coolest times during the day or else we do laid back games with our equine partners.

The Ranch wants to shout-out our junior camp counselors!!! Brie, JP, and Lorelei help behind the scenes to ensure the campers have a fun and safe week as well as keep the horses happy and hydrated and the barn clean!!! Great job you three!!

Summer camp Day 2!! Today we had fun riding but also learned parts of the horse and basic first aid. Campers groomed their horse’s meticulously and checked them over for any blemishes, wounds or large injuries. Every camp horse was cleared with only a tiny scrape or bug bite here and there. They decorated tote bags to keep all their weeks worth of crafts in…. and what’s summer camp without some silly games!!!

We had a great first day of summer camp!! Great group of campers on a warm, breezy day!!

Hey everybody, we have several project horses at the farm that are ready to begin taking their next steps from groundwork to riding. We have decided to create a “dummy rider“ to help us in the process. I wanted to reach out to all of our community and see if anybody has any of the following items they are willing to donate before sending it to Goodwill or into the trash. Here’s what we are looking for: men’s coveralls, (2) boat bumpers, (2) pool noodles, pair of cowboy boots. Worn out condition is fine! Thanks

Jesse is being offered as a training project. She is a 8yr old grade mare who sticks around 14.3hh. Jesse is a foster from Central Virginia Horse Rescue. Jesse came to our training program very untrusting, and very pregnant! We started simple ground work with her during her pregnancy, building her trust again. She had a beautiful filly last May but also some serious birthing complications. She came through it thanks to the diligence of our veterinarian and volunteers who treated her daily, all the while continuing to build trust, even through the scary venture. Once weaned, Jesse’s training has progressed immensely. Currently, she has been saddled, sat on a handful of times, work through desensitization games and started ground driving on longlines. Jesse can be timid and shut down if pushed too hard or harshly. Jesse is looking for her person (or person with experienced trainer) to continue her training and help her grow into the ultimate riding partner! She has no limitations and can go in any direction. Currently her fee is $1800, this will increase as her training continues. Located in Louisa, Va. If interested, please PM or contact Jennifer @ (540)308-9248

Today was our last Thursday morning hosting Louisa County High Schools Equine Science class. The students were wonderful and we enjoyed having them each week. We encourage them to come back and visit their favorite horses again!! Hope to see y’all next year.
The ranch was also acknowledged by the FFA Louisa Chapter for our partnership with LCHS. We are honored to be apart of encouraging future generations to continue in the agriculture industry.

Legacy helping me collect breakfast bowls.
We had a great day of showing today, even if it didn’t go as planned. Sometimes you ride the highs and sometimes you ride just to stay on. Today this rider did an amazing job at taking what her horse threw at her and seeing it to the end. Very proud of her! There will be other shows and better rides but she learned a lot today from this experience!!
Wanna be just like mom
Peaceful, simple Sunday Morning
Enjoy 30 seconds of peace and beauty on this Sunday morning.
