My old jump course is on its last leg so I’m building all new jumps! I figured I’d build some extra to sell while I’m at it. Some have wood, stain or paint flaws. Some are oddball sizes. That means they’re all budget friendly! I’ll be building coops, roll tops, gates, panels and more! I can build for any budget as well, so let me know what you need/want! I can also build higher end quality if wanted. These two coops are for sale. Lighter is 8 ft pressure treated top and the darker is 11 ft tongue and grove. Both are about 13” tall. Pick up in Portsmouth NH

8 ft $150
11ft $175

I haven’t been on Facebook much this past year. It’s just been a crazy year adjusting to our move. We’re finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Prepare to be flooded with pics and announcements soon! For now, we have unfortunate news of putting our beloved Lego down. At almost 25 yrs old, it was time. We can’t thank Anya Cromie enough for choosing us to keep Lego through his retirement years. Lego was an irreplaceable teacher to my students. We affectionately called all 18+ hands of him the elephant giraffe cross, yet, his heart was bigger than he was. He was careful with the tiniest kids and may hold the record for teaching students to canter with his perfect walk to canter transition and slow steady lope. You just had to watch out for that pogo stick trot coming down😂 There will never be another Lego. I already miss him looking at me turning his head sideways asking for chin scratches💔 If you knew Lego, you knew his only thing was to casually walk away/leave from your hand and go back to his pasture or stall if he suspected anything different and there was nothing you could do to stop him. While we stood around Lego crying and saying goodbye prior, he left😂 That was Lego’s farewell to us and I’m glad he did it❤️ Isaiah collected him one last time and Lego stood quiet and passed peacefully. You’ll forever be missed by all❤️

What a fun and busy summer! I will be flooding Facebook with pics in the next few days!

I know how fast word travels in the horse community so it’s time to share the news. Today, September 1st marks 14 years leasing at my location in Wells, Maine. Unfortunately for me, the owners have decided to sell.

However! High Standard Stable will continue on! I’m working hard to find our 15 horses and almost 40 students a place to land in the area. I’ve been chatting with local barn owners that have been graciously discussing how to help us.

I will continue to chat with all to figure this out before I need to leave in late September. If you have a spare $4 million and would like purchase this property in the next couple weeks with a thriving business, we’d be thrilled to stay! Otherwise, good luck to the new owners, we welcome you!

To everyone else, we look forward to seeing you from our new location!

Keep an eye out for more upcoming news! We will be doing a fundraiser soon for an orphaned foal staying with us❤️
