Jax ran into a pole tonight at flying speed and got himself really good. Thankyou to Dr. King for coming out so quickly!!! She got him stitched up nicely ❤️‍🩹🐴
Send healing thoughts for him!!

Cinnamon is doing great with the kids! She does have stiff stifles so she does light work with the lead line kids! While we thought cinnamon was 10. Her paperwork which just came back, shows different ! She’s 20! She’s a good looking older lady! I’m honored for her to spend the rest of her life with us ♥️
I love this life 🐴

09/23/2021

So important ♥️

09/22/2021

Hay day and we also got our round pen light up this week as well!

09/19/2021

Lots of great lessons this weekend! Our new clients are starting to settle in and get comfortable with the horses here!
We have a couple slots available for weekly lessons in the week but only a couple!
A couple leasing opportunities as well! Leasing opportunities are limited due to the fact we only do one 1/2 lease per horse so our horses are never over worked. The leasee never has to compete for time on the horse they lease !

09/18/2021

Introducing some of our horses for lease! We have all kinds of leasing packages including ones with lessons!
Half leases are super convenient to you as you get three days of riding with tack included !
Bazinga is a 17 year old thoroughbred with lots of riding to offer! She goes English/ western and she loves the jumper ring! Super brave mare and very fun ride for a confident intermediate rider
Pandora is great for all riders! She is a very laid back four year old thoroughbred mare. She is mostly ridden western but could easily go English!
Scooby is for an advanced intermediate rider only. This boy is lazy as all can be but needs a confident rider to guide him through his occasional temper tantrum’s. He goes English or western as well.

09/17/2021

Jax is really filling into himself! We aren’t ready for rides in the saddle yet (waiting on vet approval and growth plates to close), but still doing light lunging and desensitizing so he is well ready for his first ride when he’s ready!

09/16/2021

Yesterday was a great day for some desensitizing! Especially with our oh so sensitive Merlin!

09/02/2021

Someone was pretty enthusiastic about our mare in heat 🤦🏼‍♀️

08/28/2021

Skip the excitement of owning a horse and come straight to the fun part with us! Lesson and leasing opportunities are available! Skip the vet/ farrier and feed bills! Leave those to us while we make it easy for you to enjoy your horse time. Worry free ♥️
Although we can’t help with the horse smell, call it a complimentary gift 🎁🐴🤣

This is a great video for understanding equine ulcers and how every horse is at risk of developing them. Watch this short video to stay informed!
This is the number one reason why our horses always have constant access to hay!

See how ulcers form, learn common risk factors and how you can protect your horse.

Another training update! Jax is a two year old grade gelding and is being started here with ground work and light under saddle training! Our radiographs show that we still have to wait six months before it is safe for any pressure to be applied in the saddle. However Jax has been working hard on taking a bit/ lunging while properly collected/ desensitizing/ and overall ground manners!
He’s improving tremendously and is such a level headed two years old! Just look at his beautiful color and movement! This boy will be an all star!! 🌟 💫 🦄

The trust Moonshine has in Jared is absolutely heartwarming ! Moonshine started her journey here with Jared almost 5 months ago. Jared was the second person to have ever worked with moonshine and while I have also helped in the process of domesticating Moonshine. She has developed the deepest trust and love for Jared most of all! This pair is really something else !! 💗💗

08/23/2021

Merlin is showing great improvement during each of his sessions! We are really diving deep to gain confidence especially at the hitching post! Here he is relaxing at the post while his fly sheet moves in the wind. This is typically very nerve wracking for him, but he did great!
Our hitching posts are equipped with a “blocker tie ring” which allows the rope to pull loose when great force is applied. This keeps our horses from feeling trapped and panicking when tied.
Merlin will continue in our program for desensitizing on the ground and in saddle to become an overall confident horse 🥰♥️

08/20/2021

We have been so busy around the ranch with regular improvements/ updates and changes so I have been lacking on keeping this page informed!
We are busier than ever and so Thank-you for everyone who trust us with their beloved pets for training!
Pictured below is our new lesson horse cinnamon!
She is so sweet and willing to please🦄🦄
She’s settling in great and getting into routine !

08/19/2021

Hello everyone!
We have high winds this evening and we are under a thunderstorm watch! The weather doesn’t call for a thunderstorm but they can roll in rapidly and randomly especially with the high winds.
Hopefully this is nothing and we can continue with our evening lessons! The safety of the rider and our horses are the number one priority!
Thankyou for the understanding !

08/19/2021

This girl refused to load just four days ago. We put her on the schedule immediately for an hour long trailer session and within 35 minutes. We were self loading ! We will have one more session later in the week to make sure she retains her confidence in her loading in and out of the trailer! Let’s be real, we all need a reminder here and there!
Make sure your horse is ready in the case of an emergency evacuation! Be prepared 🐴♥️

08/17/2021

We had a beautiful trail ride at homestead ranch yesterday!! Thankyou for the memories !

08/12/2021

Beautiful evening last night to work some horses !
Today we have a beautiful breeze that is feeling fabulous after the heat wave we have been having the past few days!!
We have a couple new fun activities here at the ranch including an obstacle course! Be sure to check it out on the south side of the property! We will post pictures once we have more set up! This is perfect for building confidence in any age horse!
We also have a TON of tack for sale! We are willing to ship it at buyers expense. English - saddle pads both AP and dressage! Bridles/ bits/ irons/ almost anything you could need! Tons of boots!
Western- nylon full sets/ headstalls/ reins/ replacement heads tall parts.
Let us know what you are looking for!

08/06/2021

Excited to announce that we have openings for a couple boarders and a handful of leases starting September! As always, we are accepting new lesson students!

07/25/2021

“Okay now a silly picture “ ♥️🐴
Horses have their challenges. They are living beings with minds of their own! Each acts in their own way and it’s our own responsibility to find what works for them !

07/19/2021
