A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.

Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.

Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.

The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.

The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.

If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.

Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders 🐎❤🐎

Beulah is due to lamb anytime now! Her belly has descended, her udder is full of milk, her lady bits are swollen and she is resting up!
We have her in a separate area by herself so she can peacefully bring these babies into the world! 🤎 Stay tuned for our first ever purebred hair sheep lamb(s)! 🐑🐏

Dreams do come true! 🌹

Horse Crossing Farm was voted “Best Place for Kids to Have Fun” in The Lexington Chronicle’s Best of 2024! ❤️

Thanks to all those who work with me to help make this farm a reality!

We not only provide a place for kids to have fun, but we also provide a place for kids to learn new things, obtain valuable life skills, experience farm life, grow in confidence and gain knowledge about animals!

I want to give a shout-out to my husband Benjamin, the farm’s biggest supporter and my own personal biggest fan! He was unable to attend the gala due to being on military orders. Love you babe! Thank you for serving our country and thank you for allowing me to follow my dreams. 😘

We just saw a post about Clarkson's Farm helping boost awareness of agricultural life and we had to share our thoughts! 🌾

Jeremy Clarkson's dive into farming isn't just TV gold—it's sparking crucial conversations about agriculture. It's high time we appreciate Clarkson's role in educating city folks on the unseen struggles of farming life.

Here’s how we see Clarkson is making waves:
🐑 Clarkson gives farmers a spotlight, showing off their relentless hard work and dedication in a way that demands attention and respect.
🐄 He's educating urban viewers, taking them through a farming journey, revealing the gritty, complex reality of farm life.
🐓 The show breaks down the journey our food takes, highlighting how vital farmers are to our everyday lives.
🚜 By showing the tough side of farming, Clarkson is inspiring a newfound respect for the industry.

Clarkson, along with his crew (shoutout to Kaleb!), is bringing the raw realities of farming to a broad audience. It's a mix of education and entertainment that's much needed.

We’re proud to advocate for our agricultural community, but having big names like Jeremy Clarkson on board is both vital and very entertaining! 🌾
