Come learn more about the sport of fox hunting with a Camargo Hunt field hunter clinic!

Our first clinic focuses on riding safely in the open and over fences as part of a group. You’ll learn about etiquette, and experience a traditional stirrup cup and bring-to-share lunch. If you’re a fox hunter this is a great opportunity to brush up on your jumping! Casual and welcoming environment; all ages welcome.

Lease horses are available, but be sure to sign up soon!

We’ve auditioned quite a few new barn cats recently, and Gertrude has eagerly embraced her new responsibilities. 🐈‍⬛

She’s rarely seen without a mouse in her mouth, or in her pursuit. 🐁

In an effort to encourage her to continue with her efforts, we’ve awarded her the coveted Honey Tree Stables Employee of the Month award! 🏆

Bob - who has been serving faithfully for years, is grateful for the help, and her support. 😊

On July 15th, two of our special Honey Tree Stables horses are celebrating birthdays! 🎂

Happy Birthday to Jazz, who turns 23 today, and is still going strong with her new riding partner Kyndall Jones. 🙌🏼

And Happy Birthday to Harry O, who turns 11 today. We remember him back when he was black and white all over, instead of gray. It happens to all of us Harry! 😉

This is the size of many of the fences at the Mexico Olympics, 1968. It must be remembered that Stroller (the 14.1hh pony) with Marion Coakes (later Marion Mould) medalled here.
Only two riders cleared this fence - one was Australian Kevin Bacon on Chichester and the other a Brazilian rider.
(Reposted here to show what Snowbound and Stroller jumped, in a story on the Mexico showjumping gold and silver medalists)

Some days, horse shows be like… 🥰

But when it’s time to put their game faces on, an HTS’ No Worries know how to get it done. 🏅

Wishing them the best of luck this weekend at World Equestrian Center Midwest Indoors! 🙌🏼

Home Tree Stable’ horses and riders aren’t the only ones bringing home ribbons! 😉

Congratulations to Paisley for bringing home 2nd place in tonight’s dog race at The World Equestrian Center! 🥈🎉

Anyone who has seen Paisley run to find Sarah knows that she was the favorite to win this race. 🐩💨

Now that she knows how racing works, she won’t hold back at the start next time.

She’s gotten the taste of winning 💵, so watch out! 😉

Tuesday night lessons at Honey Tree Stables. 😊

After some flatwork, Sarah laid out some challenging Jumper courses for everyone to try, and we finished with a jump-off to demonstrate the importance choosing the most efficient track, versus focusing solely on speed.

Everyone laid down some great courses, and showed lots of guts!

The final winners of the jump-off were Gabby and HTS’ Gideon, riding in their first lesson together! 🐎💨

We had a great time at Windfall Farm Horse Shows this past weekend!

This week, our 2021 foal - Lenny [bay pinto / c**t, HTS’s Ishmael x Clara] - born on April 8th, was successfully weaned.

Lenny has taken this new development in stride, and has been enjoying a big stall all to himself next to his mom. They’ve both been calm and stress-free about the whole process. 👍🏼

Today, Lenny went on his first solo walkabout with Sarah outside, on a halter and lead rope. He also got a bath, and came into the indoor arena for some quick exposure training, and a little groundwork.

He did great! 🎉

Very little stress response being away from mom for the first time, and he was a Champ in the wash stalls. He did have to show a little independent streak, but he trusted Sarah enough to investigate the mounting block, a jump, and even the empty liverpool!

He’s yet another stunning Ishmael foal, and we can wait to see what his future holds! 🙌🏼
