Sydney's Sanctuary Stables

12/01/2025

Always an amazing day with the most amazing group of people! I am so grateful to have found this group and to be able to ride with them so often!
If anyone is looking to get into sorting this is such a low key and supportive environment to do it with all levels of horses and riders!

Who knew this big tb girl would be pretty great at sorting. For the few rides I've put on her I wasnt sure how she'd do but I'm super proud. She was slow and lazy but didn't care at all about pushing them or them coming at her and her blocking. She's going to make one cool and versatile horse soon!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! We hope you got to spend it with those you love!
I think some reindeer were left behind last night! Good thing I love reindeer! Gosh I love how easy going all the horses and here are and allow me to do the silly things I do to them!

All fur babies are cuddled up in their blankets ready for the cold snap. Sarge wanted to help clean, and Brisbane always just wants to be with you.
Thank you Monica for always being the guinea pig to see how the new horse rides in an area with another! Oakley was great and I don't think she could have cared less if iz was there or not!

Listen to this complainer! Every time I wake him up he groans like he's dying. He reminds me of Sydney in so so many ways, this is one of many, propping himself in weird places to sleep is another one of the scary things I could do without!

One of these girls comes nicely off the and seat, one of these girls is lazy, but only 2 so I don't blame her! Both have had the same amount of rides however one will keep going since she's old enough and one will probably sit and grow for the winter!
Oakley has absolutely done amazing in the big arena the past 2 rides and is really understanding the concept of stopping from the seat!
Sully is the goofiest baby around and is always trying to help clean! She is super sweet and just wants to be with you in any way she can!
Now they are all tucked in with blankets on for our first real snow!

Happy wet Thanksgiving from our little crew to yours! We are so thankful for all of our clients, friends and family! Everyone is all cuddled in their blankets and has plenty of hay inside to keep them warm and dry if they choose, although none chose to stay inside all the time so the blankets help keep them dry and warm.

Proud. Just proud. She's come a long way in a short time. Today we walked and trotted a few steps under saddle with little to no nervousness once she realized she could move! Here's to big things with this big girl.

If you feed in groups, or have a bucket dumper I cannot recommend these enough! They are really well made and make feed time so easy for not only me but anyone who has to feed for me! Thank you The Inquisitive Equestrian!

Home after a long and fun weekend at Equine affaire. It was an exhausting and amazing weekend with wonderful people and great horses!
Huge, huge thank you to Craig and Low Places Ranch, Maryrae Holman and Lynn for sharing your big baby with me! We had an awesome clinic and great weekend together. I also can't thank you enough for all your help and support from set up to teardown.
Honeybee, Bullseye, Sarge and Izzy made it amazing well through the weekend with no turn out and an overwhelming amount of people! I'm super proud of them all!
Here's to another extremely successful equine affaire filled with new and old friends and fabulous horses!

Great second day of equine affaire! Sarge had a productive morning learning new sights. And bullseye had a great night ride. A little nervous at first but settled down well!
