Take your breath away
There’s something exhilarating about watching a two year old colt just having fun!
Arena Maintenance
Thank you to Mickey Herman for giving our arena a little TLC today. Best in the business!
When it’s been 100+ days since you’ve seen your heart horse and he still nickers at your arrival. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our new 7 foot TR3 is really improving our footing for our clients. This arena drag has been a great investment and there’s nothing like a freshly dragged arena to start your day off!

Vazquez Rocks Trail Ride
Thank you to Patti Duce and Cari Lee Sladek for loaning their trusty trail horses to us so Charis and I could enjoy an epic trail ride through the Vazquez Rocks this weekend. And to our trail guide Laurie Henry for the beautiful tour! Special times in California!
We have multiple turnout options for our horses but here’s a new one and a pretty little Arab filly to brighten your day.

It was another long weekend of work. This property was left in shambles when we got it in July 2022. There’s been no shortage of contractors and volunteers who are helping me restore it.
Sometimes the work is pretty fun (see video) as we continue to haul off trash but also repurpose old wood into nice mulch for trees and plantings.
Here’s a list of improvements this past weekend. I share this because our neighbors always are excited to see the upgrades and I know the community of Agua Dulce does as well.
Special thanks to Kenny Allen and Roger Wulff this weekend for the technical help!
Project list COMPLETE:
New lights in Show Barn and Grooming rooms
Additional lighting near Arena stalls
Trash pile is half what is was and the rest goes out in March!
Numerous plumbing issues fixed

Final touches and some good rides before Sweetwater Farms send 14(!) horses to the Scottsdale Arabian Show. Good luck to everyone.
