Counselor fly in at the barn!
•
This is Earlham’s 4th Counselor Fly-In and the barn was excited to be apart of it again! Everyone who came out got a tour of the barn as well as the chance to groom and ride some horses! We had such a fun time getting to meet everyone and hope to continue to be apart of the fun in the future!

Fall Fun Show!🍁
•
Our first ever Fall Fun Show was a huge success! We had tons of fun jumping, dressing up and playing around during the fun classes! We wanted to give a really big thank you to for sponsoring our 1st and 2nd place prizes with gift cards and for everyone who came out to watch and participate! And another big thank you to the students as this couldn’t have been possible without all the support and hard work we have from them! We hope to do more shows in the future and hope you see you all there again!

Any day with Parlor Doughnuts and horses is a good day!

Thanks to Anna (one of our boarders) for sharing these delicious treats with us! Everyone approves of Richmond's newest doughnut shop (including Pancho!) 🍩

We are looking to part with some equipment - reasonable offers entertained. You must pickup here in Richmond.

6' Rotary arena drag, 3 point hitch in great usable condition

6 freeze resistant livestock sun tanks. Solar heated bottoms prevent freezing and have a float on top to keep water clean and free of debris. All but one are in great shape, one has cracked front plexiglass. Perfect for keeping water out where you don't have electricity during the winter months.

Message if you are interested!

Do you have an old plastic water trough that is cracked or leaks sitting around? We'd love to have it!

We turn them into hay feeding stations for our pastures and would love to find a few more that need a new purpose in life. Please message us if you'd like to donate one!

*Rubber/plastic troughs only please, no metal, any size is fine

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to those in the surrounding area affected by last night's tornadoes. We are fortunate to have missed any major damages, all of our animals and property were safe but there are many in the region for which that is not the case.

If you have horses or livestock and need a temporary place to house your animals due to storm damage, we have a few stalls available and could accommodate you.

Please message us if you are in need!
