Hello everyone,
I wanted to share an update, as I have had several people reach out about lessons. Pinoak Acres is currently closed for the season.
At this time, I am evaluating what the lesson program will look like moving forward. We recently lost our beginner-safe horses, and replacing suitable lesson horses is a significant investment. Because of that, no decisions have been made yet regarding future lesson offerings.
I have returned to work as a mail carrier, and we will likely use 2026 as a year to adjust, reassess, and plan our next steps.
Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.

✨ 2025 Business Recap | Pinoak Acres ✨
As 2025 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on what this year has meant for Pinoak Acres and everything it has grown into.
This year brought change, growth, and resilience. I revamped my riding lesson program, continued building STAY Dog Training, worked with incredible horses and dogs, and supported amazing clients who trust me with their animals and their families. I leaned into what truly matters, quality care, education, and doing right by the animals in my care.
There were challenges this year that tested my heart and my strength, but they also reinforced why I do this work. The animals, the people, and the community remind me daily that this business is about more than services. It is about relationships, trust, and impact.
In 2025 we: • Continued horse riding lessons and youth programs
• Trained dogs and educated owners through STAY Dog Training
• Expanded pet care services and future plans for Pinoak Acres Pet Retreat
• Supported families, kids, and animals in meaningful ways
• Kept moving forward even on the hard days
None of this would be possible without the support of my husband, family, friends, clients, and everyone who believes in this dream. Thank you for trusting me, cheering me on, and being part of this journey.
I am stepping into 2026 motivated, focused, and excited for what is ahead. Big goals, positive changes, and continued growth are coming.
Thank you for being here. 🐾🐴🤍
Here’s to a new year at Pinoak Acres.

Rest in peace, my dear Roanie.
You were the best boy. You took care of so many little riders and so many people, and you were so deeply loved. We were honored to have you for your retirement years, and I always said you would live here until the day you died.
Tonight, I had to make the choice to end your life because of your suffering, and I was there with you until your very last breath—exactly one week from when we said goodbye to Zeuss, and at the very same time. Now you and Zeuss can run high and free together, with no pain.
I love you forever. Thank you. 🌈🐴

✨ Meet Oliver ✨
(Springer Spaniel 🐾)
Meet Oliver—and his wonderful humans, Braden and Navi (not pictured). They welcomed Oliver home just a week and a half ago, and like many families with a new dog, they were navigating the adjustment period.
Funny how God works sometimes. 💛
I was out delivering packages for my other adult job (USPS) and happened to have a package for their home. Navi came out, we started chatting about dogs, and I could tell she was feeling overwhelmed and worried about doing things right for Oliver. After talking for a bit, I shared what I do and gave her my page to check out.
Later that same day, she reached out—and we scheduled a consultation.
During our session, we focused on setting clear structure, building confidence, and helping the humans understand how their actions, timing, and consistency directly impact Oliver’s behavior. 💡 Because here’s the truth: most “dog problems” aren’t dog problems at all—they’re communication and guidance gaps.
With proper human training, I truly believe this family and Oliver are going to be an incredible match. 🐶❤️
📌 Did you know?
It takes most dogs at least 6 months to fully adjust to a new home and find their place in their new “pack.” Patience, consistency, and clear leadership make all the difference.
Welcome to the Pinoak Acres family, Oliver. We’re excited to watch you grow. 🌿🐾

Goodbye for now my old pal 😢😪

There comes a time in your life when you have to make the hardest decision you’ve ever faced.
Today was that day.
I made the decision to end the suffering of my best friend—my heart horse. Zeus has been with me since 2015. He helped me rebuild my confidence after a bad fall during Pony Express. He needed some work, but he was never dangerous. He was honest, kind, and steady.
Zeus carried me through multiple breakups, moves, and major life changes. He helped me build my lesson program and trusted me just as much as I trusted him. I trusted him with my life. We galloped through fields, raced our friends, and went on countless trail rides. He taught so many people how to ride and gave them confidence, just like he gave me. He truly was the best.
Everything changed Friday when he came up lame. At first, I thought it was an abscess, but deep down I felt it was something worse. I took him to Nebraska Equine, where Dr. Black found a fracture of the olecranon in his front right leg. Considering his age, the cost of surgery, and the complexity and pain of recovery, I made the decision to end his suffering.
Zeus spent his final afternoon eating peppermints, all the alfalfa he wanted, and every treat he could enjoy—surrounded by people who loved him deeply.
My heart feels truly empty, and I know it will take a long time to heal. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness shown by friends and family during this time.
Thank you to my husband, Jacob Henry, for your compassion, strength, and support through all of this.
Thank you to Dr. Adam Hansen for your kindness and compassion. Shelby Veterinary Clinic has been there for so many of my animals and always shows the utmost empathy and professionalism. God bless them.
Rest easy, Zeus. You were so deeply loved. 🤍
