Hi everyone!

Due to the weather turning pretty yucky this evening—and several students already canceling—we’ve decided to cancel lessons for tonight.

We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Lessons will be on Tiesday and Sunday,

Stay warm & safe!

🚩💕Update from Lakeside Stables 🐴💛

With everything happening right now in the horse world, our hearts are truly with every barn owner, trainer, and rider dealing with — or worried about — the recent EHV-1 outbreak.

We have done extra checks this evening, just because its touched our hearts deeply.

We know how stressful and scary this situation can feel, and we’re thinking of all those affected and those taking precautions to keep their horses safe.

Please know you’re not alone — the entire equestrian community is rallying together, sharing information, and doing everything possible to protect our four-legged partners.

Stay vigilant, stay informed, and give your ponies an extra pat tonight. 🫶🐴
If you need support, have questions, or just want to check in, we’re here.

🚩For Lakeside Family we wanted to inform You all we will not be having horses on the property from Texas or Oklahoma, or horses that have traveled around these areas: events etc. We are also limiting our activties to limit possible exposure. And keeping our barn fmaily safe. 🚩

If you have questions or concerns regarding please message or call.

Sending love to every barn going through it right now. 💛

All the chores are done ✅

The animals are tucked in with fresh hay and water 🐴💧

Tomorrow lessons are ON, so bundle up, layer up, and get ready to warm your toes by the fire 🔥❄️

Dress for the weather… Kansas is in her moody era again!

🌤️ Morning checks are officially DONE over here at Lakeside Stables!

All the horses were extra sleepy this morning — lots of slow blinks, big stretches, and a few “do I really have to get up?” sighs 😴🐴

✅ Happy horses munching on hay
✅ Water tanks filled to the brim
✅ Everyone accounted for, cozy, and content
✅ A few sneaky nose boops were given (mandatory ✨)

The barn is peaceful, the pastures are quiet, and the horses are easing into the cooler weather ahead. 🤎

And don’t miss the video in the comments — Tiny Rancher is hard at work this morning feeding Walker and Charlie the fresh green salad she picked specially for them. 🥬🐴💕 We think they gave it a 10/10.

Here’s to another beautiful morning on the farm!
If you’re stopping by today, give your pony an extra scratch for us — they’re feeling that sleepy-snoozy energy today.

A few riders have already canceled due to the forecast, so we’ve decided it’s best to cancel lessons for tonight — Tuesday, October 28th.

We hope everyone stays cozy, safe, and enjoys a spooky-fun Halloween week! 🎃🕸️

🐎 Hey Lakeside Family!

Riding Lessons are ON tonight + tomorrow!

But please read and keep an eye out if lessons get cancelled or not ! 🐎

Whether you’re coming from the Gardner side or the Hillsdale side, the roads and our driveway are mushy, muddy, and super slick right now.
It may look fine… but both Mike & I drove it this morning and… yeah. It’s giving slip-n-slide 😂

If you’re coming out for riding lessons, to visit your boarded horse, or for any lakeside fun, please SLOW DOWN coming up the driveway.

👉 Speed limit is 5 mph or slower.
We’ve got dogs, kiddos, horses, and all the chaos of ranch life — so thank you SO much for cruising in nice and easy. 💛

🤠👢 More rain is on the way, so we’ll keep everyone posted if anything changes — just keep an eye right here on the page! 🌧️

As of now — lessons are still a go! 🎉
Can’t wait to see everyone and love on some ponies tonight 🐴💕

Thank you for being the BEST barn fam!
