Hillcroft Acres Riding Stable Memories Hillcroft Acres Riding Academy Stable As you drove onto S. McIntyre St you would see the main house and then an entrance into the parking lot . It was HUGE!!!

There loomed before you stood the long , red and white indoor arena barn. Especially daunting to us children who began riding there at a young age. To the right, down below, was the school horse pasture with a pond. Just above that was a square dirt arena. Beyond and out into the pasture was the 12-15 cross country jumps. The in and out cabin, yellow barrel, blue box, brick wall, small bush jump,

large brush jump, small pole jumps and always obstacles for the beginner to the advanced. Back towards the barns there was the broodmare barn, with stalls and turn outs and if you walked East the big green gate stood where you could enter the big pasture and visit the small herd of pasture horses.

Rocky ❤️

I have a much longer more detailed post I will make when I am ready, but I know you all are waiting to hear how the appointment went with this week. First and foremost, Rocky is doing great. He’s 15 weeks old today 😊. I feel a little crazy speaking in “15 weeks” but back in the beginning we really lived a week at a time. Each week, me holding my breath for him to decline, for him to show me that it’s too much, for him to tell me what to do for him, and also importantly, what not to do for him.

I really feel at this time, it’s best for Rocky and myself to stop living that way. He’s established what he can do and he’s been seen by enough professionals now that we just want to enjoy living.

Josh is creating a beautiful custom brace for Rocky that will help support his front leg as he grows. We are also using a “baby cuff” to provide a wide base of support for his front leg at this time. Neither of these are prosthetics. I will explain more of how the brace was planned and all the details later. This was such a thoroughly thought through process, as we all reviewed how he’s adapting, his body mechanics, and what will help him vs hinder him.

This picture seems pretty insignificant but it’s special to me. Rocky’s turnout area was a dry lot and one day I had a little meltdown and told my husband I just wanted Rocky to be able to experience grazing if in fact he didn’t get to stay long. The next day, he planted grass and would run sprinklers on it so it would grow quickly. That grass is growing, and so is Rocky ❤️. He finally found it today and I got to sit and watch him learn yet another thing “normal horses” do. It’s the little things that mean so much ❤️.

Some things never change with time...
Even when your knees don’t listen like they used to.
Even when lifting the saddle by yourself gets a little harder each day.
Even when youth leaves behind only scars and memories.

The spirit of the horse in your heart — it never ages.
It remains just as wild, free, and true.
It whispers: you still can… you’re still a rider… you are a soul in the saddle.

Because the love for horses never fades. It only grows deeper.
And even if you can’t gallop across fields every day,
one look, one soft muzzle against your hand —
and your heart soars again.

You may be silver-haired. Tired. Quiet.
But inside — you’re still that little girl who dreams of riding into the wind.

And the spirit of the horse… it’s still there.
Always.
Forever.
