Looking for input! I have someone possibly interested in collaborating with me on doing higher levels of lessons, as well she's certified for therapeutic riding etc. Wondering how many people might be interested if we did do this. Prices would most likely increase for these services. Thoughts...

Now that summer camp is over we are going to be starting up lessons and some shorter trail rides. Please be aware many of our horses can only take kids or small adults. We do lessons for beginners and advanced beginners. 2024 campers will get 10 % off the rest of this year!

So.. we are doing a small show Friday afternoon at 3pm to 430pm. Curious if there are people who might be interested in coming. For those who don't know what we are all about come check us out.

Ok, I was so excited about everyone going out I say 10 horses but it's 9 horses, 🤣 I think I am missing Misty, trail rides were get favorite. Anyway all of our horses went out together on the trail, all 9 of them.

Week 3, Tuesday... quite a rainy day. Brought the horses in that we hoped to ride if it stopped raining. Did lots of grooming and drying this morning. Then we let them eat hay and relax while we worked on anatomy of the horse. After working on that and waiting for the rain to let up... they worked on some crafts and some cleaning of the barn. Still raining.. went and used what was learned with the anatomy and actually find the parts a one of the horses. Finally the rain stopped enough to ride in 2 separate groups. Learned to pass going opposite directions. Then after feeding them dinner they had a few minutes to take them out and graze. Even in the rain we had a great day, lots of laughs and learning.

Week 3!! Monday. Started right out meeting the new campers this week and then right into grooming, tacking and riding. We made edible horse treats, painted some fun rocks. Played a exercise game with bridles and bits showing the kids what it would feel like having a bit in your mouth and being tugged on and confusing messages. Fed the horses their dinner, great day!

Week 2, Friday. Yeah I know I'm a little behind 😆. We had a great week. Started out grooming, tacking and heading out to ride. Rode in the ring for a little then out for the longest trail ride this week. Finished our horse pots from earning pieces through trivia questions. Did some painting stones. After they hated to waste the paint so kayden let them paint his lawn mower. Cleaned and filled water buckets before having watermelon and feeding the horses dinner. Great day. The Last picture.. "I spy one little eye that doesn't belong".

Week 2, Thursday. Started today grooming and tacking up 8 out of 9 of our horses. Clever didn't get to go because of his sore foot. Then the 8 of them went out on the trail, the longest trail yet for them.. so happy with all the kids and horses!!! This afternoon we painted stones to leave in our favorite places or bring home. Then we practiced some levitation that I learned many years ago from one of our campers had fathers. Ask your kiddos about it! Jesse has been learning to trim their feet. He of course decided to give dozer a try. He did amazing, still learning though. I'm proud of his effort to work on this as part of his carrier choice. Another amazing day.

Week 2 Wednesday, started the day tacking and riding! They went a little further on the trail today. Played trivia and made a horse, will show pictures at the end of the week. Then we did a scavenger hunt with different pieces of tac. Had a big watermelon before feeding them dinner! Awesome day again!

So happy with this video. Been trying to get all the horses out at once for a while, only one missing and that's my clever but that's only because he has a sore foot. 8 out of 9! Soon it'll be all 9!

Week 2 of camp! Not sure how we get so lucky with such awesome kids. Of course awesome horses too! Started the morning tacking up and riding before it got too hot. After riding a bit we decided to do some balancing with water balloons on horse back. Lots of laughs. Before we were done we did a short ride on the trail. After lunch we worked with abenaki (snacki) and Sally. Did some lunging with Snacki, then took him for walks alone away from Sally ( he has some separation issues with Sally) he did amazing, then a little ba****ck for a couple on him. Mean while the others were giving Sally a bath and she soaked up all the loving. Later we cleaned stalls, rinsed and filled water buckets, did some trivia. Then of course fed them supper! Great day!

Saturday we did a short trail ride as we are just getting some of the trails open and some of our older horses ready. Plus one of our camp kiddos is moving and we wanted to do a special ride for him. Jojo has been a joy watching him learn all about horses, all the things he rembered from last year. Good luck with your move Jojo hope we see you next summer!

Friday! Week one went so fast! Awesome group of kids! We started the day doing trail rides. Then lunch, a quick bath clean. Then we played Tack race. The only time running is aloud in the barn. After that they all cleaned the stock tanks. Had watermelon and then watermelon rind throwing etc... 😆. Needles to say lots of laughter. Fed the horses. What a great week.

Thursday at camp! We switched things up and did chores this morning and rode on the afternoon. This morning we got dozer out, our Belgian who is 18.3 hands, over 6 feet on his back. Then all the kids got to go for a ride. We did trivia after that earning beads to make a name chain. Then fed the horses their dinner..So much fun!

Wednesday at camp! Started out riding to hopefully beat the storm. Which we did. So we started with grooming the horses, tacking the horses, rode them, then we had lunch, cleaned saddles, made edible horse treats, and had a visit from the vet. They got to see the horses they've been riding get their teeth done and vaccines done. Another great day even when it rained.

Then finished with feeding the horses dinner. Great day!

NEW!!! We are now offering on farm leases and sponsoring any of our horses. Please pm me for more info!

08/22/2023

Hey everyone! Wanting to fill everyone in on things happening. First off we will be offering some on farm leases to individuals that would like to be able to ride more than we can offer. If you want more info please pm me. People may wonder why this change. I am having to go in for a spinal fusion revision. The original screws have moved ( I knew I had a few screws loose 😆). So lessons and trail rides will be limited, although we have come up with ways for individuals to continue what they are doing. With all this we are in desperate need of help with horse hay for the winter. With all the flooding our hay person just hasn't been able to get horse hay dried. I have set up go fund me in the past, most people don't like giving to those things. We are taking and asking for donations so we will be able to continue with our 501c3 and help people and horses. We have venmo and will announce donations if people would like. We have downsized so that will help us a little. But please if you can help us we would be greatly appreciative.
