Maxx has been riding for 15 years and started volunteering at Venture Equestrian at 12 years old!

Maxx and Holly (a 23-year-old quarterhorse) have been working together to train Holly as safe for independent riding.

When they're not working, they enjoy having a nice carrot lunch together. 😜

Check out Venture Equestrian - the new must-have fashion segment accessory! This fashion shoot was filmed last month outside our indoor riding arena.

As easy and chic as summer sandals are, there’s just something about a good boot. In addition to being super cute, they’re also an easy way to elevate an outfit, bringing it from cute and casual to chic and stylish.

Diane has been with Venture Together since 2007. She says she loves the joy that Venture Equestrian riders get from riding and bonding with our horses. She's considered the "Equestrian Mom" because she takes care of everyone.

Venture Equestrian has a new full-time employee! Meet Dudley...this handsome 19-year-old was generously donated to our program by Elysse Lavin of Argyle, NY, and we're thrilled to welcome him to the family!

We're told Dudley is a major foodie, and makes a lot of noise when he see the food bucket coming. He instantly bonded with our horse Holly, and he's sweet and likes to show his affection by licking your face!

It's with great sadness we that inform you that our old friend Tigger has passed on. Tigger was over 30-years-old, and spent his last 10 years as part of the Venture Equestrian family. He was an incredibly friendly horse, with a calm, gentle presence. He was a kind soul, and we'll miss him terribly. ❤️💔

Our senior horse friend, Big Mac, had to retire due to arthritis. But he found a great home with former Venture Equestrian instructor Katie (and her boyfriend PJ). Happy retirement, Big Mac!

NAME THE BUNNIES CONTEST!

Meet the newest Venture Equestrian staff members! These two baby bunnies needed a home…how could we say no to these adorable faces?

What should we name these two cuties? You guys did a great job at naming our goats, Emily and Frances, so we thought we’d ask you to help us out again. Submit your name suggestions in the comments below, and make to vote by “liking” your favorite. The two entries with the most likes win!

The bunny on the left is a girl and the bunny in the “hidey house” is a boy. We can’t wait to be up and running again so you all can meet our new addition to the farm family!

Names will be chosen on Monday!

Brrr...the sheep don’t want to leave the barn, but Cashmere and Charisma don’t seem to mind the snow☃️

Throwback to fall time with our two buddies, Big Mac and Tigger!


Photo description: two horses walking over to the camera. Most likely to see if the photographer has any treats on them. On the left side is Tigger, a quarter horse with a gray and white speckled body with a brown tail and mane. His buddy, Big Mac on the right, is a Standardbred horse with a brown body but a black tail and mane.
