It's Henry's turn to shine this week!🐎
Henry is an off the track thoroughbred (OTTB) with quite a few wins under his belt. One of his racing purses totaled $150,000! Henry loves to go fast but can be a respectful riding partner when handled by our advanced students. He is a special asset to the lesson program and a wonderful teacher, especially with canter leads and advanced jump courses.💙💛

This week's Horse of the Week is Pepper!💙💛 Our sweet and spicy Quarterhorse loves her treats almost as much as she loves Breyer. She's a reliable ride and very gentle with children, making her a perfect fit for our barn family!

Psst... it's National Girls and Women in Sports Day!
We are immensely proud of our athletes and the dedication they display to our sport. We also celebrate the mentors, trainers, and clinicians who compile their information and experience to make our riders the best they can be.

Keep riding, ladies! 💙💛

Meet our herd! 🐎💙💛
Our horse of the week is trusty Karma, a staple in our lesson program and an all-around sweet gal. Everyone loves her, and she's known as the barn "grandma" because of how well she watches over young riders.
This week, we recognize Karma and her faithful commitment to our students and program!
