The Horse Barn

01/22/2025

Casually capturing the fun of having horses in the winter 🎉 Surprisingly, without the wind, it doesn’t even feel THAT cold yet.

There are no lessons 1/22/25. The health of our horses and perseverance of our riders fingers and toes are beyond more important than extra horse cookies tomorrow. Plus, warmer make up days ahead! (Check your email)

If you’re in the mood to shovel lots of horse p**p though, please feel free to join us!

Happy National Horse Day!

To all of the lessons taught, by all of the horses in the course of my life, I could never be more grateful.

And here’s to the good old boy, that continues to keep me on my toes and take up so much space in my soul. I owe you the world buddy. Everything this is, is because of you. ♥️

Hi, I’m Cali. I’m an almost 4 month old QH/ Belgian filly and will be available to the best home only, after January 1.

My dad is a big red roan Belgian, and my mom is this sweet little grade QH. My human mom knew me when I was in my mom’s belly, and couldn’t resist taking me home after seeing me for sale. Now that I’m big and strong, I think I need my own person for emotional support weaning.

I wasn’t handled much my first few weeks of life so was weary of people to start, but I’ve come around and love nose kisses and can mostly lead politely 😅

Cali and her mom have been so fun to watch the past couple of months, but sometimes the business of horses is keeping the right fits, at the right time. Cali and her mom are doing well, and soon will need to be separated for weaning. Even though it pulls at my heartstrings, I think the best for Cali is to find a home with a smaller herd and a person with more time.

We are asking 1750🥕 for Cali. Potential homes will have to have weanling experience and references.

Happy Snow, Rain, YUCKY winter mess of a day!

The barn is closed today for all lessons. Safe travels if you are going out!

Clearly the boys don’t care much about it yet! Any guesses as to where ALL the mares are? 😂

Here is a DECEMBER DEAL unlike any other. And involves a FREE LESSON. If this has your attention, please read ♥️

Being a self employed business, sometimes means that our family “business” intertwines heavily into our day to day operations. It also gives us the ability to network to some amazing people, with great connections. My cousin Kalle, 26, has been in Boston for several weeks awaiting a heart transplant. She can not leave until she receives one. Though we knew at some point in her lifetime it would be needed, we never knew quite when. Now is the time.

I know that if I was awaiting a life altering procedure, I would want my mom right there with me, so starting TODAY through FRIDAY:

Buy 1 PRIVATE LESSON ($50), 1 SEMI PRIVATE ($70) or 1 GROUP LESSON ($90), receive a second FREE.

ALL FUNDS for these lessons will go directly to Kalle’s Journey.

Please Venmo all payments to Sierra-Adams-2020 with “Kalle” as the description or reach out for other payment options. If you give directly to go fund me, please send me a screen shot and I will apply a credit that way too.

All lessons can be used through the 2025 year. Thank you ♥️

My daughter Kalle is waiting for a heart transplant. She is a brave 26-year-old… Jenn Leach needs your support for Donate for Kalle's Heart Transplant Journey
