❄️ Snowstorm check-in with the herd! ❄️

Despite the wintry weather, our crew is relaxed, happy, and living their best lives—snacking, napping, and most importantly, enjoying time with their friends.

Now, let’s talk about the great blanket debate! 🤣 Over the years, we’ve shifted to blanketing our herd during wet conditions, high winds, or when temperatures dip below freezing. Why? With most of our wonderful herd being 20-30 years young, still riding almost daily and loving their outdoor lifestyle 24/7, keeping them dry and conserving energy just makes sense.

That said, every horse is different. Many thrive without blankets, and most of ours did for much of their lives! What works for one horse might not for another—care tailored to their needs is key.

How’s your herd faring in this winter wonderland? Share your snowstorm stories below! ❄️🐴

Duke and Shaman are soaking in this crisp fall morning, just as they were meant to. There’s something special about watching our horses roam the pasture day and night, side by side, instead of being cooped up in a stall. Right after sunrise, they come to life, playing and embracing the gift of a new day. It’s a quiet reminder of life’s simple joys.

**Jenna - Gorgeous, Gentle, and Ready for Her Next Home**

Jenna is an absolute sweetheart, up to date on all care her entire life, and we are only her second owners. She’s been genetic tested and is clear of any concerns. You won’t find a horse with a more genuine, people-loving personality—she truly cares about her humans! With her stunning looks, she always turns heads, and she’s as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

Jenna is an easy keeper, maintaining her weight well, strong barefoot, and a healthy, solid horse to ride. She’s great in a stall, comfortable in a herd, and just an overall joy to be around. She’s always the first one to greet you, no matter where you are on the property. Jenna has thrived in our family business, interacting with customers and making everyone fall in love with her. She’s safe, fun, and steady.

Jenna excels both in the arena and out on trails and fields. She has participated in multiple horsemanship clinics, where experienced students have worked with her on advanced groundwork and riding. Currently, most of her riders in our program are beginners, and she responds beautifully to seat and leg cues. That said, she can easily transition to more advanced riding, moving off the bit and showing forward movement when asked. She’s capable of lateral movements, including side-passing, and she never tires, even after a full day of riding.

Carrying large men on the trails or toddlers on a lunge line, Jenna takes care of her riders. Weather doesn’t faze her either—whether it’s -35 or 115 degrees here in Illinois, she stays healthy and happy. She doesn’t need to be ridden daily to stay well-behaved; she just loves the attention and being around people. Jenna stands like a pro for grooming, tacking, bathing, the farrier, deworming— cross-tied or single-tied, she’s perfectly behaved.

We have nothing but good things to say about Jenna. We’ve made the decision to reduce our herd, and while we’ll miss her dearly, we’re looking for a home where she can get the love and attention she thrives on. She would be perfect for a riding academy or a single owner who wants a horse to dote on & adore. Or we’d love nothing more than keeping her here in our herd if you need boarding!

If you’re looking for a loving, versatile, and stunning horse to add to your family, Jenna is the one for you.
