We have two more weeks of lessons for the year!
As it gets colder, we will be monitoring the temperature day to day. If the actual temp. Is 20 degrees or below, we will cancel lessons for that day! Horses have big lungs that are very susceptible to the cold and we don’t want them working hard in those conditions.
Our instructors will notify their students when we plan on canceling due to cold!
Otherwise, make sure you bring coats and gloves when you come ride! Stay warm!

We are so sad to share that Casper, one of our sweetest lesson horses, passed away Monday morning.

Casper was a rescue horse who was helped by a good friend of ours. He was given to our program because of his incredibly sweet and docile nature.
He was loved by our students and everyone who came to visit us for birthday parties or camps. We always had birthday kids excited when they saw they were going to ride “the white horse”!
Casper was so smart, taking care of all of his riders with such kindness. His favorite thing was to be brushed, everytime he’d fall asleep in the cross ties!
He was a true unicorn in soul, body, and mind. He was well into his twenties and it was just his time to go. But we hope and believe we gave him a peaceful and happy life after so much hardship he had to endure before coming to us.
We hope to remember him for all the good that he was, and we hope you all remember the good memories you had with him as well!

We hope everyone is having a good fall and have a happy and safe Halloween this weekend!
As it gets colder we move our lessons to our spacious indoor arena! This week we begin our last full session of lessons for the year! We’ll have one more mini-session of 2 weeks before our holiday break!
