One of our wonderful students trying to her luck on button braids during one of our non-riding lessons!

Despite Shadows mane being a little long and thick for your typical button, she did a great job! 🖤

Super exciting news to share with our little herd!!

I have been selected to participate in the internship program during the 2025 Legacy of the Horse c**t starting competition this September!! We will be accompanying fellow Oregonian and Championship Trainer, Lily Santulli of RHR Versatility and her team but will be working closely under all seven selected trainers during our time there. I will be assigned directly to one of the Australian trainers competing so as to give one of the Australian interns the opportunity to work under Lily (I am spoiled and get to work with her as often as I can get my little self over there so I understand) but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that we have been afforded!!

This competition is akin to our US Road to the Horse, and will follow these trainers closely as they work with a lightly handled 2 year old that they have not met before and go from blank slate to solid foundation over the course of the four day event. For more information check out their links,

This incredible event is put on by The Australian Cowgirl, a platform dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and elevating women in the western performance horse industry started by Kim Peterson. We are beyond humbled and excited to participate and learn under the best in the industry across the world, and most of all, we can't wait to share it with all of you!

It is because of your belief in what we are doing that this is even possible, and we look forward to making everyone who has taken a chance on our weird little herd very proud.

There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you Just. Keep. Going.

Share the ride with us!! Final travel dates and more information to follow!!

Trail riding lessons have officially started for our walk/trot/canter students!

What a great ride this morning! It started with some spicy pons but we had some excellent problem solving skills and finished on a great note for everyone 🖤

It starts SO much earlier than the “problem” you see. You have to start at the root, the boring parts. The holes are there from the moment you enter your horse’s space.
