Our Mission:
To provide affordable boarding in a clean, safe, professional atmosphere where our boarders can come and enjoy their horse and our facility in a non stressful environment. We encourage each boarder to be proactive with their horse, but during those times when they can’t; we are here to provide exceptional, affectionate care to every horse that calls our stable home.

that horses thrive better when allowed to be outdoors as weather permits. We are passionate about the responsibility of caring for your horse and we put their health and well being above all else.

Today was one of those days that you wish could have lasted a little longer. Beautiful weather, awesome scenery, perfect horses and trail companions who appreciate the serenity of just riding quietly and listening to Mother Nature. Herrington Manor state park never disappoints.

And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.(By John Muir)
Reconnect with nature by stepping away from the stresses of daily life. That’s what horse back riding can do for you!

Finally getting some much needed rain and thankful my lesson horses don’t mind the umbrella ☔️🌧️

We want to wish this guy a very happy birthday!!! Devon Yoder does so much for our stable. He helps with hay, fixes outdoor faucets and anything and everything I might need help with. He hauls horses all over the country for me. He helps get my show team to every show and goes above and beyond what a hauler usually does. He carries water, holds horses, opens gates, catches horses, and so much more to make things easier for my team members. We are bless to have him!! But the one thing you can be sure of, Devon is always happy and you can hear him laughing and joking with the kids a mile away. He brings many smiles and we’d be lost without him as part of our stable family. There are those rare occasions that he can even still act like a kid but that’s why we love him!! Hope you have a great day Devon!! ❤️🐴❤️

The end of a great summer coming to a end today as we participated in our last scheduled show of the season in Somerset, PA.
Weather was just cool enough that the horses had some extra pep so we stayed late so the girls could do some game classes.

What a spectacular weekend we had on our overnight trip to Valley Meadow Farms in Hancock, MD. No words can adequately describe the memories that were made with my older show team members. The trail riding and views were amazing!! We took a dusk ride to vista point where we witnessed a beautiful sun set then rode back in near total darkness, trusting our horses to find the way.
We rode up and down over steep incline’s challenging ourselves and our horses who were breathing extra hard! We sat around a campfire, ate delicious food, talked for hours and connected with each other and our horses in a way that only this kind of adventure offers. We will not soon forget this weekend that’s for certain!! Thank you to Laura Hartley for being our cook and Devon Yoder for extra hauling and everything else he helps us with. And praise be to God that everyone stayed safe!

I spend A LOT OF TIME with kids! Listening to them talk about the important things in their lives like why they named their dog or cat a certain name or how difficult learning fractions are for them, just interacting with them on their level. Of course we talk about horses and their individual personalities but then there are these special moments of just silence as I walk with them on our trails taking in the sights and listening to the birds sing. Then, out of no where I will hear them proclaim, “I love riding horses!” We keep walking and I think to myself, this right here never grows old!

We stirred up some dust today; inhaled dust, swallowed dust, wore it on our clothes and between our teeth but we had a great time in Somerset, Pennsylvania doing what we love to do! Now to shake this dust off and get ready for our next adventure.

BSS PROUD MOMENT: Caleb Hershman is an employee who loves to ride horses but he also loves to bowl! A former competitive bowler myself we often talk about the sport and how challenging it is. Caleb bowled on his school bowing team and would always share his scores with me. But last night when I got this picture of a perfect 300 score, 12 strikes in a row!!!!!!!! I literally could not believe it!! This is a awesome achievement and Caleb said he could barely breath when it was getting closer to the tenth frame. I’m sure he won’t get many stalls cleaned today, he’s probably still fighting his adrenaline rush!! Great game Caleb! 🎳

Today was one of those days we won’t soon forget. Big goals were fulfilled for several team members while frustration and challenges plagued others. While some were working hard to win their first high point buckles others were working hard trying to catch their horses who escaped from the trailer. There were tears of joy and tears of sheer exhaustion. I witnessed team camaraderie, friendship, and unselfishness today and I couldn’t help think how blessed I am to spend my weekends with my show family witnessing how these young ladies have grown in so many areas of their lives. I’m grateful that God has allowed me to be a part of these young ladies lives doing what I love.
