“How much weight can a horse carry?
In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.
They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can't carry it anymore.
They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babys before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.
They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.
If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.”

You guys be easy on the boy for camp this week! He worked hard all weekend!!! Sharing this one because you can appreciate the old man stretching out there and going...and the improvement in the steering department....amazing!!! Here he is doing his thing with his jocky/owner Tyler Lenfestey he did have a gun hang up but that happens, he still came out grinning ear to ear all because of the improvement in his horse in the steering department that he has worked hard on fixing the last 2 months. It's not all about winning the class...it's about seeing the improvement and becoming true partners with these amazing animals!
Ivan advised I send out a reminder, not only for our lesson students, but for all our members!
It’s getting hot! One way to prepare for a summer riding lesson is to drink plenty of water, startng the day before.
If you drink electrolyte drinks be sure to drink twice as much water for them to work properly!
Stay cool!
Miss Willow went to the shoot to see what she thought and....her price went up before we've even shot off her, just kidding...not for sale! Least not this year!
Our night shift getting creative #willworkforfood #gothimforasteal
Black medium pony for sale $2500
Getting a saddle seat rider to let go is hard, especially on a green horse, but half the time that horse is simply running from you! Today we learned to be a passenger and the communication skills grew greatly in a short period of time!
These two are really getting it together. It's been lots of 2 foot classes this summer to build this horses confidence which can shatter so easily, today we did 2'6", not too shabby, a few awkward jumps but most excellent overall!
Oliver over fences FOR SALE $4800.
