Recent training intake update:

Keeahi is a saddlebred mare that was collected from a severe neglect case. She has put on lots of weight since being collected in emaciated condition and she is now ready to step into training and get more handling. Keeahi came to us from Embers of Hope Equine Rescue and will return there once she has some more handling skills.

We were able to get hands and a halter on her yesterday and work on leading in the barn. We then moved to the round pen to work on joining up and halter pressure. She was a bit confused at first but she settled and started using thoughtful tactics to learn.

Follow along as we work with Keeahi and help her become the best version of herself!

Also, fun fact- her name means the fire or the flame in Hawaiian. Now we have 2 “fires” (Keeahi and Fuego) in the barn and I’m not sure how I feel about that 😂

Moxie dear you are a unique little mama. You have a kind soul but it’s often full of fear from years of running free and fending for your life on the hill side of coal country. Moxie has come so far but at the same time has a long ways to go. I can’t wait for the day she fully surrenders her fears but for now I’m thankful for each moment of trust that she does offer.

“Bonnie” is a 13 year old Grade QH mare that is looking for a new home address. 14’1 and thick built. She neck reins, moves off leg easily, and has a great woah. She happily plodded down the trails and seems to prefer trails to arena work. Bonnie can be a bit quick footed and anxious with nervous riders and is best suited for intermediate riders with a trainer. I would not recommend her for a beginner. Although under supervision in a lesson she did do well with an advanced beginner student. She has reining and ranch work in her background but she has been sitting for a while so she will need a tune up with whichever direction she ends up going.

Bug season is quickly approaching. Michael is prepared to battle the face flies.

This also offers us a chance to work on touching his ears without him throwing a fit. He’s very sensitive to his ears and poll being touched so putting the fly mask on and off gives us plenty of opportunity to work on staying calm through the process.

Handsome Todd from is a pleasant 9yr old OTTB. He had been learning about life outside of the racing industry and what it’s like to be pampered instead of neglected and starved. He absolutely loves coming into his stall at meal time and enjoys long naps afterwards. For a recently gelded boy he is an absolute saint. He is quiet and calm and never causes any issues in the field. However, After working with him some we have found some underlying soreness that need some attention before we push his re-training much further. We are thrilled with his progress and weight gain and we can’t wait to see what he looks like once he’s more comfortable!

Michael is working on being super chill but he says it’s hard and mentally exhausting. Some horses are born quiet and calm and without a care in the world. Other horses are born nervous firecrackers. Michael is the nervous firecracker. He working hard to overcome his anxious tendencies and he has made lots of progress but he still has quite the road ahead of him. We are here to help him along the way as best we can.

“Handsome Todd” is a 9yr old OTTB who has survived being a part of a severe neglect case. He is gaining weight nicely and ready to start working towards his next career. He is happy to be alive and gets along great with other geldings in his field.

Today I was able to get on him and do a riding eval and he was willing to walk and jog nicely around the pen. We will work towards being soft through the body but today I was super happy with how willing he was to put in effort.

He is adoptable through Kentucky Humane Society Equine CARE

Michael has come a long ways since he showed up with a catch rope and jumped at every touch. You couldn’t go into the stall without him spinning around and freaking out. He had a sign that read “do not handle if your name isn’t Paige” on his stall for a while. He now goes out in a field with friends (without a catch rope), he stands for his feet to be done, he enjoys grooming sessions, and is working through his ground work. He thought the surcingle was a snake at first but didn’t lift a foot wrong once it was actually strapped on. He’s going to make someone a strapping little trail horse someday!

In March 2022 sent a little formerly free roaming yearling to us. His name was Coffee and he quickly became a farm favorite. Once he calmed down into civilized life he realized that people are kind and provide shelter and food and loving scratches. He went on to be adopted by some lovely people.

His adopters have spent the last couple years letting him grow and mature and continuing his groundwork training. He has been sat on and walked around even! Now named Coffee Beane and affectionately called “Beane”. He is back in training to finish off his under saddle work. We are so excited to have Beane back with us! Beane has started bootcamp with some groundwork but soon will be under saddle and ready to rock and roll with some new knowledge. We are so thankful that his adopters trusted us enough to send him back to get started!

I can’t believe that this 2021 Bernardini gelding is still available! Montevallo is such a sweet boy. He retired from racing in July with a slab fracture to the knee. It has since been fully rehabbed and he is ready to go any direction. He’s an easy keeper with a solid build and a great mind. Literally cannot ask for more.

Montevallo is available for adoption through

Will Virginia Dare “Ginny”

Ginny is sweet mare who retired from racing in October. She has had time to be let down and learn how to be a horse again. She’s enjoying her quieter days off the racetrack.

Ginny has been working on softness through the poll and body, cadence in her gaits, and beginning stages of ground tying. Ginny is a sweet gal and is RRP 2025 eligible and is adoptable through !
