Starting Canadians right!

Encourage your horse to hunt for the answer.

To feel back to you and what you're offering.

There's no wrong answers, only a try...and a horse who is trying, is a horse who is thinking.

Think your way through it. Hunt for the open door. Hunt for the answer. Find me, find center. I'll go with you, and you'll go with me, and then we'll be going together.

Too many horses out there are tuned out, just going through the motions. I don't want that, not for them or for myself.

Press 1 if you are a novice horse owner that thought a TIP mustang or an OTTB was a great choice but you are currently in the hospital from said horse.

Press 2 if you were scammed by a feedlot "rescue" and your kid broke gelding is in fact an untouched crypt stud.

Press 3 if you bought a baby horse for your kid to grow up with but now it bites.

Press 4 if you have a horse you've owned for 20 years but it's no longer sound so you can't afford to board it anymore.

Press 5 if you have a horse that's not broke to ride, over 12 and not entirely sound but has tons of "potential"

Press 6 if you bought a pony at a sale barn for your children and it's a biting, kicking escape artist.

Press 7 if you got a pair of intact donkeys 8 years ago for pets and now have 16 donkeys of various ages and none of them are halter broke.

Press 8 if you have a horse with disfigured lower limbs but believe strongly it's "still really happy".

Press 9 if your cutesy baby horse is now 4 and still a stud and has behavioral issues and you just don't know why.

Press * if you have several emaciated horses you really really love but have to surrender because your neighbors just don't understand horses get thin during the winter and turned you in.

Press # if you have a horse you feel was incredibly abused by a "cowboy" and now he's got to have 20ccs of ketamine to get his feet done.

Finally, press 0 if you are looking for a colored, sound, kid/hubby/95 year old great aunt safe, dead broke, patterned and possibly 2D, 4H ready, 100% sound, preferrably registered gelding but only have $500.

WASHINGTON — As school-aged kids head back to class and families become busier with extracurricular activities this fall, parents may increasingly forgo home-cooked meals in favor of a quick trip to the drive-thru.

Here is a really good custom option for high butt, or narrower horses. By completely removing this area of the skirt it opens it up more to eliminate the possibility of rubbing the spine. Allowing for more pitch in the saddle if needed and a closer fit. The horse this was made for sustained an injury to its spine from a different brand saddle rubbing it raw. Love the customization of Specialized Saddles

Saddle fitting season is in full swing, call to set up an appointment today. Booking 3 weeks out as of now.

Horse life with kids. Does anyone have a play structure they no longer use who would donate it to the farm?

About us. Hi, I am Laura the owner and manager. I have had horses since I was 5 years old, along time ago now. I actively grew up showing and participating in 4-H. I spent my teen years riding and breaking young racehorses and pleasure horses. I competed in equestrian team in both high school and college and assisted my high school team to win state championship. I have trained under multiple western pleasure, reining, dressage, and racing trainers to get where I am today.

I am a representative for Specialized Saddles and enjoy helping with saddle fit for the last 10 years.

I went to Michigan State University for equine management and concentrated on nutrition and exercise physiology. As well as being a Certified Horseman association level 3-4 instructor in western,, English and level 2 in Jumping.. I have a real passion for nutrition as the building block for our entire setup.

Our horses all live outside with friends and eat 24/7. We have an indoor, outdoor, roundpen, and access to some trails although it seems to change daily as the city bears down on us. We love visitors, but by appointment only.

Hide Away Stable was visited by two mythical creatures this holiday season! Who doesn’t love unicorns?

We love having such fantastic lesson students.

Horse Listening

This article is a good read for all of our students! Whether you're a hunter, jumper, trail, western, or gymkhana rider, it all comes back to a good dressage foundation.

Why We Dressage: The Rider

Regardless of discipline, here is what dressage can do for you, the rider.

Congratulations to everyone at the show today! We had a fantastic turn out, despite the rain, and everyone had a great time. Photos will be posted shortly!

The Chronicle Of The Horse

Here's a little dose of empowerment for all of the amateurs out there. It may be tough, but this lifestyle is well worth it!

"I feel like we need a secret handshake or salute for when we see each other, the fellow competitor in the noisy old truck and tin-can trailer, the one who’s also about to unload a baby horse hurricane that will be turning heads in the warm-up for all the wrong reasons—I raise my electric taped-together crop to you, my fellow scrappy amateur."
