This.

A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.

Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.

Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.

The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.

The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.

If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.

Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders 🐎❤🐎

Hi, everyone! Happy Summer! It’s been a super hot and dry one! We have been busy working at the new farm to get ready for our projected mid-August re-opening! Still fencing and just broke ground on the arena! Here are a few “sneak peak” photos! We will be offering boarding starting August 1. Stay safe!
(And a BIG thanks to Molly, Heidi, and Stacy for all their help so far! Let us know if you want to come have a “farm fit” day!”

Hey friends! So unfortunately Norman is being returned again. It was absolutely not his fault, but his adopter is being transferred and her new job nor her new housing allow for dogs. He has been doing service dog work with her, and he has become much less dog reactive. He has excellent leash manners and is very obedient.
He has been going everywhere with her 24/7. If you know of someone who would like a fantastic companion who is able to give him the time and attention he needs, and perhaps take him everywhere they go, please let me know as soon as possible! I am attaching a photo of him.
He is a six-year-old, Australian shepherd who is neutered at the date on everything, and he is microchipped and has had all health testing completed. He would do best as an only dog with no small children or timid cats. Assertive cats should be fine. Thank you in advance!
