The girls were excited to see us on our evening walk last night.

Leo, Johnny, and Rooster were curious about what I was up to tonight.

Today is a special day at the ranch! We're celebrating Jade's 20th birthday!

Leo, Rooster, and Johnny were so excited to see us on our ride!

Lucky doesn't like being caught. We try to catch her regularly. Sometimes it's for riding and sometimes it's for treats and brushing.
She getting better about it, and we hope someday she'll be the one that meets us at the gate.

We had a lot to do today, but still managed a quick ride with our favorites (Rusty & Jade)!
Don't tell the others we said that 🤫🤣

We enjoyed a trail ride on this gorgeous day!

While our horses handle traffic well and this is something we practice with them, we notice and appreciate everyone who slows down and gives us space!

Look, Ma, no hands!
This picture was taken the other day and we already miss our non-snow-covered ground. 😔

03/21/2024

We have been spending some time in the round pen. 🤣

03/20/2024

Kate really wanted to join a training session tonight! She doesn't do a lot of work due to an injury, but she's sound for light riding. Tonight I just saddled and lunged her since she hasn't been ridden in awhile.

I've been spending a lot of time with Lucky lately, but Jade is still my heart horse.

03/18/2024

Lucky had a great training session today! A little groundwork and riding in the round pen.

03/16/2024

Jade summed up in one meme.

Kate has been off for a long period due to an injury. She is now ready to resume training! She was a little rusty but still very willing. #horse #horsetraining #horsetrainer #ranchlife #midwest #illinois #horses #horsebackriding #coltststarting #quarterhorse #aqha #horsemanship

I've been spending a lot of time with Lucky lately, but Jade is still my heart horse.

We always post the horses, but here's the ranch dog, Lane, showing off. #acd #lane #midwest #illinois #cattledog #blueheeler #goodboy #dogs #ranchlife #justhavingfun #awranch

I never thought this horse would be riding down the road alone, neck reining, and staying relaxed while her pasture mates called to her. Very proud of Abbey for seeing what the rest of us thought wasn't possible. Sidenote: this is Rooster's sister, and they're practically twins (in appearance not really temperament).

We haven't shared any ranch kitten Eureka updates lately. We can tell you that she prefers being the center of attention, and dislikes visits from her cousin. #awranch #midwest #ranchlife #justhavingfun #kitten #kittens #ranchkitten #eureka

Abbey & Halo went to a fun show on Sunday. Being an OTTB we knew she could handle an announcer, a crowd, other horses, etc. We wanted her to have experience leaving other horses to enter the arena alone and some of the crazy things that can happen at a show. #chickenandhalo #thoroughbredmakeover #coltststarting #tbmakeover #awranch #horsetrainer #midwest #horsetraining #halo #horsebackriding #horses #speedhorse #ottb #justhavingfun #ranchlife #horseshow #horse
