Rainy Thursday with the best crew!
Monday nap time, waiting on the rain.
Riding lessons are canceled today, Monday January 22nd, because of the ice. Please stay safe out there. Horses are happy inside taking naps and living their best life!

Snow days at Riverside (-15 windchill)! Hay creates heat, herd creates happiness 😉
Our horses don’t mind the cold, they’d rather be outside together with their dry shelter, hay and friends. However, it’s the dramatic temperature change that can set them back from drinking enough water to stay hydrated.
We take extra steps trying to keep them safe when the weather changes. They’re already on salt/electrolytes since they’re active all year long. But on days like today we add in a warm mash to ensure everyone has extra water intake.
The mash is beet pulp & alfalfa pellets soaked in hot water until it’s nice and sloppy!

Jenna our wonderful Friesian mare walking with confidence! 💃🏻❤️
Ball playing time for Stella while her mom gets a break! #babyclyde #clydesdale #horses
Trail rides available this afternoon, Saturday February 4th. Call for an appointment & come enjoy the peaceful woods on a warm winter day.
We ride year round and our horses love to get out! Closed on Sunday’s.
This is what -35 degrees looks like here. Happy herd of moving horses and lots of hay.
Cheers and Merry Christmas!
Friday nights fun show for our clients was a blast. The students really went all out in the Halloween costume class!
If only they listened this well everyday when I called them 😅
When you’ve had walking trail rides all day and missed your herd! 🐎❤️
(Video taken on Labor Day after they were turned out from working all day. No they’re not tired or lazy, just well trained and love they’re job!)
