No lessons this week due to the temperatures but feel free to come say goodbye to us and the horses Friday and Saturday anytime between 11 and 3. We're going to miss you all and will update as soon as we can with contact information for the ranch that wants to provide a similar service!

No lessons tomorrow, there's a cold on the property we don't want to share. Lessons next week should be good to go. We're planning a couple of days that everyone can come and say goodbye without an appointment.

ALSO, sounds like you all won't be left without the service we provide. A local ranch is in the works to take over. More information will come as available. Keep a close eye out!

To all of our friends and followers,

After much deliberation we have reached the conclusion that we need to pause the program indefinitely. Due to our personal health issues we cannot continue to provide services at this time. We will conduct sessions through February then will have to take an extended break. We are so sorry to have to share this news.

We cannot thank you all enough for the support, in every way, that we have gotten these last 21 months. We are hopeful that the smiles we’ve shared, the hurdles we’ve overcome together, and the friends we’ve made, will continue to carry us through things to come.

Trust us, you’ll see us around ;-)

We are keeping a very close eye on conditions for lessons this week. However, if this amount of rain continues our culverts may fail rendering the barn inaccessible. We will keep everyone posted!

Thank you to our current sponsor of Marissa, Cherakea!

Need a last minute tax deduction? There's still time! Our horses need sponsors. Sponsoring a horse is $1200 for the year. We have Toby, Ben and Quill in need of sponsors. Our steady eddy geldings and our paint mare who is lots of fun!

Sadly due to the weather and forecast we have to close this week. We have to fix some damage and want to keep everyone safe. Stay safe and warm friends!

12/28/2021

We hope you all are safe and warm!! Don't worry about the horses, they have lots to eat and are dry and warm!

12/26/2021

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm! The horses are enjoying the natural enrichment 😊

Winter can be hard so we are increasing the horses' enrichment. Here Toby and Ben enjoy finding goodies in forage boxes.

Enrichment encourages natural behaviors and stimulate their senses in ways that hay nets and feed pans don't provide.

We have blue bags for bottle drop! It's such a fantastic way to help support us without any extra effort or money on your part. We are even willing to drop off and pick up cans if needed!

It was an amazing fall morning to have a group of almost 20 local homeschoolers out! We had so much fun we'll have to do this again!
