Fox-Bell is excited to announce “Ari” has found her perfect home!
Ari was owned by local rescue organization, Olympic Peninsula Equine Network, and was brought to Fox-Bell to get her started under-saddle.
With Colton’s fabulous training, Ari blossomed into the talented little mare we knew she was!
Ari was a barn favorite and was always happy to flash you a “smile” or lay down next to you after a training session….
Ari was adopted before we could even advertise!
Congratulations to our dear friends, Audrey and Brian!!

Ryan’s first real trail ride!
Hard to believe how this horse came to us…. Walker was a euthanasia horse we were able to intercept… in the beginning, he wasn’t easy…. Oh man, he wasn’t easy….
But Walker is thriving after good training, good people in his life, and good care.
Our golden boy sure earned his keep today!

Footing UPGRADE!
Scott and I (with a little help from our friends!) finally started to add the fiber to our indoor arena footing. This will increase stability, add some spring, and improve water retention….
Not done yet, but much closer!

Scott also gave me a lesson on driving the new dump truck 🛻 🤣

PROUD Momma moment! ✨
Ryan loves animals… he loves horses! He likes to groom them, pick their feet, feed them, and lead them…. But he hasn’t been excited to *ride* them…. He prefers driving the tractor (or backhoe…. Or 20,000 lbs excavator….)

Today… he said he was RIDING!

I started to walk Romeo to the arena for a training session. Romeo is a very tall 1/2 Friesian that is at Fox-Bell for a “career change”. Not sure exactly what that means yet for Romeo, but we know he needs a different direction in life.

Romeo has been with us since March… he is learning to play in a big herd of horses and playing games on the ground and slowly under saddle. Trying to find what makes HIM happy….

Ryan has always taken special interest for Romeo. Always leading him to the arena for me and making sure he gets extra pats and cookies.

Today, Ryan led Romeo’s training session. Ryan took the rope from me and led Romeo to the arena… but this time, Ryan lined Romeo up to the block and climbed up the steps. I helped him up on the back of this horse that has been working so incredibly hard on learning to trust us…

I swear, if this horse could speak English, he told me “I’ll take care of your boy”.

Romeo walked and posed for pictures like a gentleman. Ryan even climbed behind the saddle and sat on his butt for a few seconds before my assistant saw and warned me that Ryan was behind the saddle (mom was a little distracted teaching a lesson- oops!).

After an hour, Ryan wouldn’t get off “his” horse. Eventually, we had to bribe him with a popsicle so mom could go back to work 🤣

What a special horse this one is!

Congratulations, Rita!! 🎉

Rita is one amazing soul…. At 10 years old, this beautiful mare has had quite a start to life.. Racetrack, recip use, bounced around homes, and ended up at a slaughter auction….

Rita was sure lucky to have met Janie 🩷
Janie has given this mare a changed life- good food, safety, hoof care, medical care, and gave us the opportunity to help her learn to be a riding horse….

Today, Rita graduates from training to start her new partnership with a lovely lady who will continue her schooling!

Team work makes the dream work!

What a day!! ☀️
Our little house finally arrived!!

For those that don’t know, over a year ago we made the arrangements to move this house from Gehrke road to our stable on Finn Hall. The home needed to be relocated due to the bluff eroding…

After a long year and a half of permits, foundation, septic, planning…. The house is officially “home”! 🎉
