IMPORTANT CAMP NEWS

With the extreme heat on the forecast, we have elected to cancel our third camp session for the safety of students and horses. If you were signed up for this session (July 8-10), please check your email for details.

A reminder for everyone, horse and human, to stay hydrated this weekend - temps are excessive and dangerous.

07/04/2024

Wishing everyone a wonderful Fourth of July! We will be out of office today until mid day tomorrow (July 5) to celebrate with family.

07/03/2024

This 👆🏻

We ALL have our highs and lows, and that goes for human and horse. Next time you put a foot in the stirrup, set out to do your best with the horse you have that day - don’t expect perfection from yourself or your partner 🦄

07/02/2024

Last chance to sign up for Pony Pals! We have a couple spots left in our Tuesday 11am class beginning July 16th. This will be the last offering until late fall/winter, so don't miss out!

Head to our website for more info or to book:

We have our first jumping clinic scheduled for this Saturday! This is a wonderful opportunity for some of our riders to gain additional knowledge and experience to apply to their future lessons, and we can't wait to watch them learn. We would like to keep the clinic momentum going, and hoping to schedule quarterly events in various disciplines. Tell us - what would you like to see next? Vote in the comments below!

2024 summer camp session 2 ✅

This was a HOT one 🥵 but we made the most of the week with some pony painting and baths, morning rides, and an epic egg and spoon showdown. We had so much fun making new horse and human friends!

Last camp is FULL and coming up in 10 days, but we still have a few spaces for Pony Pals and regular lessons end of July/August. Now is the time to get on the books and grab your spot before fall - we anticipate being waitlisted by September!

06/26/2024

Little to remind us all how amazing these creatures are ❤ this is why it is important to check your emotions at the gate, and be present during your ride. Horses truly know all!

06/24/2024

Our summer Pony Pals filled in RECORD time - less than a week! Because there are many that were unable to secure a spot, we have added a second class to the roster: Tuesdays at 11am beginning July 16th. Please note that we do not have room in the schedule to add any more classes until September/October, so this will be the last opportunity for awhile! Head to our website under "Pony Pals" for more information or to secure your spot.

Highly requested Fox antics video 🦊

Those of you who have been at the barn the past few weeks know we’ve had a family of foxes take up residence at the stables. They are quite the characters, and up to nightly shenanigans. These two decided to rearrange our porch, and decorate the lawn with tennis shoes. So thoughtful! 😂

Everything comes with a price

A sensitive horse is going to be sensitive to both light aids AND your accidental aids and mistakes

A quiet school horse is going to give you room to fumble with your hands and legs, and they are also likely to ignore them when you mean to use them.

It isn’t fair to want the reward without the price. It isn’t fair to take from a horse without giving- and it all comes down to working on ourselves: our expectations, riding abilities, mindset, and awareness. You can’t have a perfectly performing horse without putting in your own work. A horse is not a computer or a robot- they rise to, or fall to, the level of the horseman.

Happy sweet 16 to the barn diva 👑

Despite being high maintenance, Secret truly has been the best partner any girl could ask for - and has taken on the role of lesson pony like a champ. She will gladly accept everyone’s gifts in the form of graham crackers and frozen mangoes while you’re at the barn this week 💅🏻

2024 camp session 1 ✅

We had a BLAST! Lots of great rides, an epic scavenger hunt, and new friends made.

Our last two sessions are FULL and coming up fast - can’t wait to see you in 10 days, session 2 👋

06/12/2024

Let us know in the comments below!

06/10/2024

By popular demand, we have added a Pony Pals class to our summer calendar! This session will run on Tuesday mornings from July 16th - August 13th. We have had many requests for this time, so expect spots to fill fast. Classes are kept small for individual attention, so don't wait to book! Head to our website under "Pony Pals" for more info or to secure your spot.

Swipe for some sleepy barn kitty yoga with Hermione 🥱

Which barn cat is YOUR favorite? 🐈‍⬛

06/05/2024

We are moving to our summer schedule next week! With that also comes new office hours. Clients can expect instructor responses during the hours below. As a reminder, we are closed on Saturdays and Sundays except for special events - any inquiries sent on weekends will receive responses when we are back in office.

06/03/2024

That's a wrap on Spring 2024! We are so proud of all of our students' progress and dedication over the past 5 months - congratulations to all on a job well done!

We are now moving into our Summer schedule, which means ALL standing/recurring appointments have ended. Summer is a pay per lesson season, so all lessons must be booked individually on our website - June is full, with only a few spots left for July. Stay tuned for some exciting new classes (including Pony Pals) and announcements to come later this month!

Can you BELIEVE this goofy goober is turning 2 today?! Where has the time gone 🤯 seems like just yesterday little Sully came into the world - yet this time next year, he’ll be starting his under saddle training. He is truly his mother’s son (hello, food motivation and baby hippo resemblance) and we are so excited to see what the future holds for him.

Happy birthday, Sully! 🎉🎂

With summer approaching (and some warm temps already here!), we want to remind everyone of our barn dress policy:

All students are required to wear long pants and close toed shoes (boots preferred) in ANY weather! Students who arrive to lessons with shorts will not be able to ride, and will instead receive a ground/horsemanship lesson. Failure to wear close toed shoes to lessons will result in a forfeited lesson - proper dress is paramount for safety, even in warm weather. Shorts can cause extreme chafing/pinching, and open toed shoes present the risk of severe injury. Safety is always our first priority, so please dress for success!

05/26/2024

This little lady turns ONE today 🥺 seems like just yesterday Zara made her appearance in the world and instantly became the barn favorite. Who can resist this baby face?!

We did not have any foals planned for 2024, but have some pretty exciting things in store for 2025…..🤫

05/24/2024

Reminder - our summer calendar is open, and filling fast! June is almost full, with July/August not far behind. If you'd like to join our program before the fall semester, now is the time to book an Introductory lesson.

Charter students may also utilize funding through the end of June - please send us a message if you have an approved certificate and would like to book.

05/22/2024

The reverse is also true - if you are asking the same question, and getting the same wrong answer, it’s time to rephrase the question!

Whoever said riding was simple obviously never tried it 😅

05/21/2024

We will be out of office from today through Sunday. All messages will be returned when we resume are back on Monday May 27th!

05/20/2024

Reminder - May 21st-27th is one of our pre-scheduled flex weeks. There are NO regular lessons for recurring semester students, only makeups for the date of 5/27. We will be back to regular lessons 5/28 for our final week of the semester!

05/20/2024

It’s and we still have these 5 adorable faces looking for their new families! They already have 2 vaccines, have been dewormed, and a spay/neuter clinic scheduled for June 8th. They are 🆓 to approved homes. Send us a message if you’d like more info on adopting!

05/18/2024

Last chance to RSVP for our Awards Night! Sign-ups will close on May 24th - please let us know how many will be attending (students, siblings, parents, etc) so we can plan for ice cream and refreshments.

Happy gotcha day, Bubbles!

Can you believe there was a time when this spunky, sweet lady wasn’t a part of the barn?! She’s become the favorite for so many of our students and we’re so grateful to have found her last year.

Since Bubbles was displaced during the Paradise fires years ago, we don’t have any record of her actual birthday - so we celebrate on her gotcha day. She is turning 22 today, and deserves all of the apples and cookies her heart desires ❤️

We have some pretty adorable new residents at the barn 🙉

This sweet feline family was abandoned, with poor momma doing her best to raise all SEVEN of her precious babies in a cardboard box. Obviously, this was not the ideal place for her nor her kittens - so they are now safe and sound with us, until they find their forever homes.

There are six girls and one boy, plus mom, who are getting some much deserved TLC - and they need names! We’d like to stick with one theme for all of them - what is your vote?

Kayleigh turns 16 today 🎂🎉 It’s impossible to count how many students this magnificent mare has taught to ride. She may be the embodiment of a baby hippo 😂 but she is the most patient, kind teacher anyone could ask for.

Cherry’s got that #mondaymood🥱 #puppylife #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #rescuepuppies #fosteringsaveslives #fosterpuppy #fosterpuppies #sleepypuppy

Only plus to these puddles? Zara gets great water desensitization training 😂 #babyhorses #foalsofinstagram #kwpn #yearling #horsetraining #horsereels #fypシ゚ #equestrianlife #equestrianreels

Sound up for a taste of the crazy storm last night ⛈️ lessons are cancelled through the end of the week, but we are hoping for some miracle drying so we can ride on Monday! Forecast is clear, so now we just wait for the puddles to (eventually) disappear 🫠

Y’all 😂 sound up for some nightly frog ASMR, and wait for Hermione’s new frenemy to roll in 🦊 never a dull moment at the barn! #barn #barnlife #barnanimals #fox #wildanimals #barncats #farm #farmanimals #funnyanimals #funnyreelsvideo #animalreels

In case anyone was wondering when we’d be riding again 🫠 We’ve cancelled all lessons 2/5 through 2/7, and hope to have an answer for 2/8 and 2/9 by Wednesday. Please see emails for details - we’ve issued subscription credits and opened up additional spots for makeups on our online calendar. 🤞🏻 we have lots of sunshine on the way and can actually be at the barn soon!

Atmospheric River part 1 ✅ while everything is soaked, thankfully nothing comparable to last year! Horses are getting a little bit of sunshine and grazing today before the next storm hits tomorrow night - two more inches of rain to go 😳

Lessons are definitely on pause today to let the arenas dry 😳 to think this was only 3/4” in 24 hours - absolutely nothing like last year, and we’re hoping it stays that way!

Zara is embracing the Christmas spirit with some ✨horse glitter ✨ and yes, every single horse is covered in shavings or mud after this downpour 😒 we love winter!

It’s officially Christmas at the barn! Stay tuned for a super special surprise tomorrow, and announcements on our annual holiday barn party 🎄

Y’all - Halloween may be over, but apparently the creepy crawlies are still in full force. Just watch your step next time you’re at the barn 😳 #tarantula #creepycrawlies #farmlife #barnlife

Who is your FAVORITE Madella Stables barn cat? 🐈

We have the absolute CUTEST foster kittens right now! Stratus and Arcus were dropped off at the shelter as newborns, cruelly pulled from their mother and unwanted by their owners. Now, they get around the clock bottles and loves 🥰 these boys will be looking for forever homes once 8 weeks old!

Miss Zara turns 4 months today 🥰

Welcome to Silly Saturdays with Sully 🤪

We have some of the best sunrises over the arena 🌄 #sunrise #sunrisetimelapse #californiasun #sunuptosundown #farmsunrise #farmsunrisesarethebest

Little creepy crawly for your Friday 🕷️ when we say we have all sorts of critters on the farm, we aren’t kidding 😳 #farmlife #farmlifebestlife #creepycrawly #creepycrawlies #spiders #arachnids
