Did you know Timber Grove has a riding team through IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association)? This is the first year TGEC has had a team and we have qualified for regionals! To help support post season costs, the team is selling some really delicious popcorn! These girls have worked so hard and appreciate any support! Feel free to comment with some words of encouragement if popcorn isn’t your thing 🥰

Owning and operating an equestrian center isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s hard. Very hard some days. Horses aren’t machines, yet we rely heavily on them to operate on a daily basis. People leave their horses (which are really just giant 4-legged children) with us and trust they’ll be cared for despite those creatures’ efforts to harm each other, themselves, or the property at any given moment all in the name of “fun”. We take our job caring for the horses and teaching riders how to ride seriously and are truly in this for the love of these amazing animals. Along the way, we get to interact with some pretty amazing humans as well. These beautiful pictures of some of our dear lesson horses and loved personal horses were gifted by the clients we lovingly refer to as our “barn family”.

So while some days are very hard running a business that is truly a labor of love, there are more days like today where people (and the horses!) show up and give reminders why a place like Timber Grove needs to exist. Find your tribe, give til it hurts a little, show compassion and love, and I truly believe things work out how they should. Thank you to TG’s barn family for being the best there is.

❤️,
Brittany

Sometimes things happen just the way they’re supposed to. This amazing horse, known at the barn as Jett, and one of our awesome students, Paisley, just clicked. He boosts her confidence, she trusts him to take care of her, and they are blossoming into a dynamic duo. So what do you do when you fall in love with a lesson horse? You buy it and dress him up with alllllll the bonnets. Lucky for TG, Jett will stick around AND continue his job as a beloved lesson horse for our program. Congrats Pye family on this special guy!

As a barn owner and subsequently lesson horse owner, few things touch my heart more than seeing students of all ages learn to understand how noble, forgiving, tolerant, and kind lesson horses need to be. This beautiful sonnet was written by one of our adult students, Heather Manly.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I’m an unvarnished lesson horse.
I’ll never win with jumps or speed,
Yet for technique I am the source,
Like ABCs before you read.

I’ll never call one person mine.
I claim a dozen moppet girls.
I give them confidence to shine.
I number them as some do pearls.

And they’ll out grow me one by one,
For horses of impressive breed.
They’ll win bright ribbons in the sun,
And I’ll help the next child succeed.

They’ll love their own horse as should
be
But none will love them more than
me.

There is no horse like your first horse❤️ A very special Congratulations 🎉 to Charlotte Blackburn on her new best friend, Boudreaux — but you can call him Boo! You know he’s a keeper when he smiles even in bows and hoof polish😆!

Charlotte’s dedication, ability to adapt and overcome adversities, and perhaps most importantly her love for ALL horses and riding, are only a few of the qualities we see in Charlotte that will make her a terrific partner for Boo. The sky is the limit🏆❤️!

Enjoy these moments Char, and Congrats as well to Jackie Fawcett and Michael Blackburn on their new (800lb) fur baby😍👏🏼🐴
