❄️ Day 934658 of winter ❄️
3 hay trips this week, that’s my new record.

The horses have been fine! If anything they’re enjoying their vacation. However I’m hoping that soon I won’t have to break ice out of water buckets more than once per day.

We still have snow in the ground but if the temperatures come up a bit we will be holding lessons next week! I will reach out to everyone to confirm the day before your scheduled lesson

We had a fun evening at the ECRDA banquet last night!
Congratulations to all on a very successful year

Thanks for braving the cold! ❄️
Groundwork lessons are in session. Winter is looking like it won’t be kind to our riding schedule. We will be holding daytime groundwork lessons while the temps are low. And will resume evening lessons once we get some warmer weather.
From taming mustangs to afternoon snuggles we cover it all ❤️

Snow day! ❄️

Lessons for this week will be based off of the amount of snow we receive and the temperatures. As of right now it is looking like no riding or evening lessons. Daytime lessons while the sun is shining doing groundwork only due to extreme cold. If we get a lot of snow we may not be able to hold groundwork lessons.
I will be in touch as the weather decides what it wants to do!

This past year you may have noticed that our show photos got an upgrade!
That’s thanks to our good friend at Wells Photography

Jenn has finally decided to put her skills to good use and she is going to start offering photography to the public.

Please take a minute to give her a follow! She has some ideas for mini sessions coming up that you won’t want to miss!

Brody & Michelle switched it up today by doing some ground driving!

12/12/2024

Nova is a 2010 grade mare who stands 14.3 hands.
She has been a part of our lesson program for a year and a half now. Nova has successfully been shown both classical(up to training level) and western dressage(up to basic level) this year. Placing in the top 10 for the youth introductory division for WDAA’s International challenge.
She is enrolled in the WDAA’s horse lifetime program and has earned points throughout the 2024 show season.

She is quite on the trails and prefers to take her time in the back of the group. She will take a small cross rail but we do not consistently jump here.

She takes care of her riders and is ridden by all ages. Her only fault is that she prefers to not be hugged or loved on but is safe to handle on the ground by all.

Would prefer on site lease but will let her go to a one person home, she will not go to another lesson program
Lease terms available for serious inquiries

Missing Layla but the group naps are so cute

The chilly morning group naps are one of my favorite parts of winter. Our herd has changed a lot over the years but this corner is always the hang out spot. The morning sun feels so nice 🌞

Get ready for my yearly reminder that it’s COLD!🥶

Please please please dress warmly. Layer both on top and bottom, leggings under sweatpants or jeans makes a huge difference!
Gloves made for riding or with grips on the palm side so that reins don’t easily slide through your hands.

Lessons will carry on as scheduled and will only be canceled or moved if the temperatures don’t get above freezing or we get rain/snow.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
