I love watching these kids level up! 👏

Here at RCE we learn about ALL things horse, not just riding!

Are you looking for an activity to teach your child about empathy, accountability, dependability, and respect?

or

Are you an adult who has always wanted to learn how to ride and spend more time around horses?

Working with horses teaches compassion, hard work, dealing with success and failure. Perhaps the most important aspect is the connection between horse and rider. Riders of all ages learn to deal with adversity and develop invaluable life experience through this relationship with their equine partner.

Some of the principal values at our riding lessons are:

🌟 Mindfulness

🌸How to solve problems with kindness and build relationships on trust

🥅 How to create a goal, a plan, and stick to it consistently over time to achieve success

🧹How to dust off your bum when you fall and try again

🐴 Selflessness- and how to put the needs of the horse first.

👏 True bravery- not through the absence of fear- but how to overcome it and experience the magic of being scared- feeling the butterflies- but riding on and doing it anyway.

New rescue Charlie is feeling so sad he hasn't received any donations. He is an old perfect gem that deserves so much more than life has given him. Would anyone want to sponsor his hay 1x?

When you learn how to ride horses- you embark on a lifelong journey of FUN and get to experience one of the most rewarding challenges you will ever encounter.

11/26/2023

Our mission at RCE is to pass on good horsemanship skills to the new generation through a top-notch academy by introducing new people to horses and developing our students into lifelong horse lovers.

11/25/2023

Meet our newest rescue! Our good friend Megan did his initial rescue. She quarantined him, made sure he had shots/Coggins and started putting work into his weight and hooves! His hooves are the worst I've seen in a long time and they are way better than they were!😵‍💫 Bless him he is the sweetest boy. He's 25 and the Lord knows I'm a sucker for an old paint gelding! Our community is always so helpful and we appreciate y'all so much. If anyone is interested in helping here are ways you can help.....bags of alfalfa cubes, beet pulp, renew gold, triple crown senior, dewormer, no thrush hoof powder, artimud, gift cards to Bar G and $ donations to pay for hoof and teeth care venmo -lague7 and Cashapp $MelissaLague
Megan sent him with a brand new soft halter and heavy blanket🥰

And an update on the hoarding case we started working on in August....5 of the 24 equines remains in his care. We hope he will give them up before winter. He is taking better care of them now that he's not so overwhelmed.

We had a great day at camp even though it was damp! It didn't rain too bad, so we got to ride and play outside. 🎉

11/20/2023

Fantastic day at camp today! 🎉

Thanks to those who came out to our 'Wine and Sip' ladies' night out last night!

It was nice to hang out with some lovely ladies and great horses 🐴🍷

11/18/2023

Horsemanship class was a blast working on body parts some more. They all did such a great job. While we all love riding, there is so much more to horses!

11/18/2023

Thank you everyone for your kind words. We appreciate them all so much💞

Today was a very hard day at the farm.
I debated whether or not to post something, but I hope this post can help others with their older horses. And I want to honor my 2 equine partners.

Nellie and Ryker crossed the rainbow bridge today🌈 It was something we planned.

Both horses we rescued and then they became lesson horses. This year, they both showed signs they were ready to retire, so I listened to them and let them. The more I watched them in their retirement, the more I wondered how much quality of life they still had left. I knew I could limp them along and keep them alive. But that would be for me, not for them. Nellie was so sore and arthritic. She was struggling to keep weight on and was uncomfortable wearing a blanket on her sore back in the cold. Rykers asthma became severe, and he could hardly breathe. No medication was working this year. As cold weather moved in, I knew he would start to breathe a bit better, but then he had to go through another cold winter only to struggle hard to breathe when it got warm again. So we picked a day before it got to yucky. We gave them tons of cookies, hugs, and kisses. We told them we loved them and we thanked them. And then we let them go.

As usual, the vet we had from Piedmont Equine Associates was super compassionate. I can't thank Dr. Chloe Hancock enough.

If you're headed into this hard place with your horse and you need moral support, please reach out. I will do whatever I can to help you.

Special thanks to my best friend Jess, who is always supportive but was here to be an extra hand. She was part of Rykers' rescue, and it was only fitting that she was here to say goodbye to him.

🐴🌟 RESPONSIBILITY ALERT! 🌟🐴

Calling all parents! If you want to see your kids step up their responsibility game, we've got the perfect solution for you: horseback riding! 🏇🔝

Did you know that horseback riding is more than just a fun activity? It's a powerful tool that shows kids to think beyond themselves and learn valuable life lessons. 🤔✨ And let's be honest, who wouldn't want their little ones to grow into responsible individuals?

When your child takes on the reins of a horse, they realize that it's not all about them. They learn to care for these incredible animals and understand that their actions have real consequences. 💪🐎

Horseback riding teaches kids the true meaning of responsibility in a way nothing else can. By nurturing this unique bond with horses, they'll become more reliable, attentive, and empathetic individuals. 🤝❤️

So, why wait? Give your child the gift of lifelong skills and unforgettable experiences today! Sign them up for horseback riding lessons now and watch them bloom into responsible young adults. 🌺✨

Happy birthday to our student, Lila! 🎊

Horseback riding is an activity that can benefit children in many ways. From increasing physical activity to creating a strong bond with an animal, there are many reasons why you should consider introducing your child to the sport.
1. Horseback riding encourages physical activity. By mounting and dismounting the horse, controlling posture and maintaining balance, your child will engage more than just their hands and feet; they will engage their full body. This boosts their cardiovascular health and improves their muscle tone.
2. Horseback riding can help reduce stress. Studies have found that spending time with horses can be beneficial for mental health, with people feeling calmer after interacting with them. Additionally, the natural environment of horse riding, such as the outdoor setting and fresh air, can also help reduce stress levels.
3. Horseback riding helps children to develop coordination. From learning how to get the horse to move in the right direction to walking and trotting in rhythm, riding a horse requires physical coordination and concentration. This can help increase your child’s overall agility and balance.
4. Horseback riding teaches responsibility. A child must take care of the horse, groom them, and take responsibility for their care. This helps to instill a sense of responsibility, which is an essential life skill.
5. Horseback riding encourages creativity. When riding, your child must think up creative ways to handle difficult situations, such as how to get the horse to go in the right direction or how to control it on a tight turn.
6. Horseback riding can build confidence. As your child learns to control a horse and build trust with it, their confidence will start to grow. They will also feel a sense of accomplishment from mastering a new skill and completing tasks.
7. Horseback riding helps to create a strong bond. As your child spends time with their horse, they will create a one-of-a-kind bond. This bond can be incredibly beneficial for your child’s mental health, as it can help them to build an emotional connection with another living being.
8. Horseback riding improves communication skills. Your child will need to learn how to communicate with the horse, as well as their instructor, in order to get the best results. This helps to improve their communication skills, both verbally and non-verbally.
9. Horseback riding is a great way to make friends. Horseback riding is a great way to meet people of all ages, and your child may even find a friend or two in the process.
10. Horseback riding helps your child to become a better person. Horseback riding can help to teach your child important life lessons, such as respect, patience, and trust. It can also help them to develop a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them.

One of our awesome vets came yesterday afternoon for a new young horse that has a bunch of little things going on (please note nothing contagious!). Friday night horsemanship class got to learn all the things we learned in her vet vist! Super educational night and the kids asked some great questions.

It was an absolutely gorgeous night too!

10/25/2023

Thank you Edelweiss Equestrian for inviting us to your schooling show! I was able to take a pair of sisters to their very first show! We had a great time and the girls did great. Our favorite boy River was wonderful as usual.

10/22/2023

10 year old Lou wore a saddle for the first time ever today! It was super uneventful just the way I like it. We did a very short walk just so she could get the feel of on her, then we were done. Short and sweet. In the last few weeks I've just been able to play with her once a week but she starts right where we left off everytime. 🌞

Turns out Abby is closer to 25 years old. The decision to retire her was a good one then. She will be going to her new home soon! Adoption pending! 🎉

For those that don't know what's happening in this picture, she is getting her teeth "floated". The short explanation is that they take off the shap points on their teeth. This is an annual thing they need.

One of my favorite things to do is play with my own horses🩷

The first day I was on the property of the hoarding case, I rounded the corner, and here was this mare that stared straight into my soul. She stopped me dead in my tracks. I gave her a quick pet and told her I'd find her a better home. I dismissed the weird feeling that happened and took home Abby the mare with the large infected wound. As we were working on homes being lined up, I thought I had one for this mare, but it fell through. I wasn't too worried and just kept trucking along, moving the others. Since then, I've played with her a handful of times. She's very sweet and soulful. For being apox 10 years old, only halter broke and not having lots of exposure she's a pretty quiet nice girl. She's been helping me re gain some confidence I've lost in myself and letting me try out new things on her. This was the first time we worked on some free lunging in the round pen. Afterward, I couldn't get her to leave my side. She may have gouges in her neck from growths that were removed years ago, and an old hoof injury, but she sure is pretty!😍 Also thought she was a full QH but the old owners swear she's half QH half Saddlebred and that she was born on their farm 🤣
