Huge congratulations to Izabel on her new partner, JudgesLawNoMercy, better known as Judge! 💥🐴

It’s not often I have a horse available, but when I do, finding them the perfect home is my top priority. I couldn’t be more excited about this match, Judge is an incredibly special gelding, and I know he’s in amazing hands.

Here’s to new adventures, blue ribbons, and a partnership built on trust and love! 💙✨

We had such an amazing week wrapping up our very first Advanced Camp — and it did not disappoint!

Today, we ended on a high note with a mini horse show where campers earned ribbons and took home trophies! After all their hard work, we celebrated with a pool party to close out the week.

I’m beyond proud of these girls and their horses. The effort, the growth, the grit — they’ve truly earned every bit of recognition. 💪🐴💖

🏆 Trophy Winners 🏆
Grand Champion – Nylah Cook & Suzie Cutie Q
Reserve Grand Champion – Brylee Holybee & Napoleon
Level-Up Award – Jayci Martinez & Princess Buttercup
Most Coachable – Bellamy Mace & La Chichi Mamaz
Best Horsemanship – Ember Chuey & Tucker Everlasting
Most Dedicated – Abigail Torrice & TexasGoldRush

Such a fun, rewarding week and the perfect way to close out our summer camps!

Up next… Fall Camp 🍁🐎 Let’s ride into the new season strong!

Advanced Camp Highlights! 🐴✨

We’ve had an awesome first two days of Advanced Camp!

📚 Monday the girls learned how to read a judge’s score sheet, so cool to see them thinking like judges!
🎨 Tuesday was all about horse colors and markings, and they nailed it!

Tomorrow we dive into teeth, veins, arteries, and bits—some of the more advanced (and fascinating!) parts of horsemanship.

This has been such a fun and focused group, and we’re so proud of how much they’re learning! 💪🐎💛

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our sweet Addy. 💔

Her loss comes as a shock to all of us, and the barn already feels different without her. Though she was only with us for two years, we are so honored to have cared for her in her final years.

Addy was truly one of a kind she was full of fire and sass, yet endlessly gentle and patient with the kids who adored her. She was an older girl, but you’d never know it by the way she ran the pasture and kept the younger horses in line! She loved her job and gave her whole heart to it. From lessons and shows to pamper days and cuddles. She loved to be with Red and Pumpkin, she was happiest when surrounded by love and attention.

I’ll miss calling out to her in the field, “Addy Mayyy,” and seeing her lift her head, ears perked like she knew exactly who she was.

A special thank you to Abigail, who loved Addy fiercely and showed her with pride. Their bond was beautiful, and it meant so much to see that kind of connection. As someone who shares their horses with others, all I ever hope is that the riders love them as much as I do, and she did. 💜

Addy, you were deeply loved and will be missed more than words can say. Thank you for everything.

If your child takes lessons with us, please take a moment to gently share the news before we resume next week. She was a favorite among many, and her absence will be felt.

Rest easy, sweet girl. You will always have a place in our hearts.

Please keep us in your prayers, we are absolutely devastated.

💜
