Summer Camp 2024 is a wrap. I’m forever grateful to the families that supported and stood by me. I loved the vibe of fewer kids and think it was the best summer ever.

They all have cell phones and Apple Watches, but they would rather sit and watch the horse shoer do 4 horses. I love that. There is no substitute for time at the barn, and the experience it organically creates.

Butters Update 💕
Before my surgery, Butters moved to my friend Robin’s house, and she has taken the most incredible care of him.

His recent X-rays show his left foot rotation has completely returned to normal angles, and the right has greatly improved.

He is truly a miracle as he had the worst X-rays I’ve ever seen on a live horse. He is also one of the best horses at taking care of himself, which really allowed him to heal. Laminitis is such a timing game.

A special thank you to Dr. Greg Parks of and Pete Healey, who not only provided his the best medical care, but also fell in love with him. really created a miracle with this pony, who now trots and bucks and lives the most beautiful life.

So proud of the girls for the way they stepped up to help and how they handled everything.

One of our most cherished things to do is visit Jubilation, both Rue and Chloe learned to ride on him, and were so very grateful to to spend time with him. He’s always looking at us from his pasture, so far away, but he hears us coming. lol
We were supposed to visit him last week but just two exits away, we saw an injured hawk by the side of the freeway and the kids and I chose to take him to and had to reschedule our visit.
I love how caring and empathetic these girls are, and how much they truly love Jubi and just enjoy spending time with him, grooming him and then letting him graze in the shade. It was such a peaceful afternoon, it was nice to see all the familiar faces and friends at and how lucky are we that this farm ended up with such great owners , who still allow us to create beautiful memories there. We love you, Jubi!

Gravy’s back. For all of the ridiculous stuff we do with our horses (parades, swimming, horse shows, camping, etc), it’s amazing to me how happy they are to see the kids after long stretches of time. It’s like they’ve missed them. Even Gala was so happy to see us. So happy to have this great pony back for camp with my favorite families. So grateful to and Quinn for taking care of him during my treatment. I feel very blessed.

To say I’m proud of these kids would be a huge understatement. For “camp” today the kids wanted to help with the fire evacuations. Five loads of horses (& maybe a couple of donkeys🙈🫏) are safe tonight in huge part to these girls and their skills as horsewomen. I was so blown away by their calm, their quiet confidence, and genuine desire to help. I’m so grateful to have parents that trust me to guide them through all kinds of experiences with horses. They did amazing, and even got to move an entire herd of cattle on foot.
I promised them a trip to the river so during the break, we rallied and went, eating lunch on the way over. It was a great day, a little tiring, but we all went to bed with smiles.
With my break for healing I’ve been feeling so much pressure from not having a huge summer camp. By the time I realized I could do camp, most of the families had made plans. I understand. But today I realized when watching these girls move cattle under a field an ancient oaks, that this is what’s meant to be, and it’s so good. The four girls fit in my car for evacuations. I can actually do more, and create more and better experiences with these core kids and families that have stood by me. And I feel a different kind of healing and gratitude. Today I realized this was part of God’s plan all along, and that it’s a very good thing. I’m also so thankful to the many people who helped make this all possible. I feel so supported.
Today one of the girls reminded me that our barn word/intention for the year is ✨adventure✨, and boy has it been one. So as I’m falling asleep after a 14 hour day, I am feeling only pure awe and gratitude. Even though we’re surrounded by a huge wildfire, I’m finally starting to feel safe again.
