Serenity Stables is so proud to congratulate two of our youth riders. Megan Cairns claimed the reserve national championship in ranch riding and Pearson Brown claimed 6th in horsemanship at IEA Nationals! This show is a draw format, where riders draw unfamiliar horses and show them to showcase their riding skills. Great job girls! We are so proud of you!

All this rain means enough water on the ground, so a little project to ensure pasture spigots aren't forgotten

🏅🏅What a weekend the girls from Serenity had across 3 states!! Meg crushed her YEDA show in SC with multiple reserve championships in her division. Gabby, in her first western and first IEA show ever in TN got a 1st Place 🏆 and 6th in Horsemanship!!! Kiran made her debut with a last minute horse change here in NC, but she stuck it out like the champ she is with multiple 1st Place ribbons as well!!! Ava also won high point Ranch in her division here in NC. Way to go girls! You are representing Serenity well and we are so proud of the work you have put in to accomplish your goals! 🎉

When it is just too hot so you wait until it is dark out so hopefully the hay won't stick to you.

Open to Serenity Boarders Only! Great opportunity to attend a clinic and increase your bond with your horse without having to leave the property. I highly recommend everyone take advantage! This clinic can be tailored to meet your individual needs.

It's not often that you get to have someone in your life as long as I've had Sonny. 29 years as my best friend. They don't make them like they him anymore.

Nothing more beautiful than a red mare and her girl! Senior prom pics are always better with your best 4- legged friend. You look stunning Olivia!

They came, they saw, they crushed it! Meg and Ava both earned 8th in the Nation in their respective classes at IEA Nationals. Now that's teamwork! Serenity Stables boasting 2 new Top 10 National Champions!!

Meg and Ava leave this week for Pennsylvania to compete at IEA Nationals. These girls have worked hard all year, won many ribbons during regular season, and were first place at Regionals to secure their invitation to compete. Serenity Stables is so proud of them and wishes them the best of luck. And most importantly, have fun!!

Words can't express how proud we are of this kid!!! This past summer she came to our farm never having ridden western before and today she qualified for western IEA Nationals. Way to go Meg!!

I'll be in the barn.
When people have come to visit over the years they commonly hear from me I'll be in the barn.
When life gets hard I'll be in the barn.
When things are just right I'll be in the barn.
When the sun shines
The rain falls
Or snow covers the ground
I'll be in the barn.
If things seem to be falling apart or if I'm celebrating the simple things, I'll be in the barn.
When I'm looking for answers or trying to clear my mind, I'll be in the barn.
When I'm looking for myself, I'll be in the barn.
If I'm working or trying to relax, I'll be in the barn.
Even when I'm not in the barn my mind drifts there, I find myself thinking about being in the barn.....
soaking feed for the next day,
mucking or spreading manure,
how to fix a problem I've been having with horse,
tack that needs cleaned or changed or mended,
wounds that need doctored,
if I need to put on blankets or fly masks.
It's where I keep my riches
All my wins and my failures
Everyone of my hopes
Dreams
Hardships
And memories
You can find them all in the barn, buried in the hay, hiding under a saddle, spilling out of the feed bins, or glimmering with dust in the evening light.
I may be covered in dust, dirt, a mash feed, hair, and hay, smell of sweat and manure, and sometimes there may be blood or tears but I'll be there. I'll be in the barn.
So if your wondering where to find me, I'll be in the barn. If I'm not there I promise I'm on my way.
