No plans for your kiddo next week? We still have a few spots available in The Great Horse Quest Camp! 🐴⚔️

This isn't your average horse camp! Campers will embark on an adventure filled with teamwork, problem-solving, horse-centered challenges, games, and hands-on learning.

Throughout the week, they'll build confidence, develop new horse skills, make new friends, and tackle exciting quests both in and out of the saddle. 🏰🗺️✨

Whether your child is already horse-crazy or just looking for a unique summer adventure, this camp is designed to inspire learning, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Registration is still open! We'd love to have your young adventurer join us. 😊

Our time with April Schaeffer Bodyworks this weekend was as amazing as I knew it would be... and THEN SOME!

Words can't express how grateful I am for April's influence on my horsemanship journey, Juliet's professional development, and the way she has helped us transform the health, comfort, and wellness of our horses. ❤️

I made this little "web" of connections that April has helped us to make, and it's been such a joy to be on this journey and to learn from so many wonderful other horse-first professionals. We left this weekend full of ideas and even more motivation to implement all of the wonderful things we learned this weekend and continue to do the best that we can for the horses we love and care for!

If you joined us this weekend, we'd love to hear from you! What was your biggest takeaway or favorite part of our time with April? 👇

And if you missed it but wish you could have been there... should we bring April back? I think the answer is YES! 🙋‍♀️😊

Spending time with him! Having zero pressure to accomplish anything or adhere to any sort of timeline has really developed our bond!

Only 1 WEEK until our Equine Wellness Workshop with April Schaeffer!

The things we've learned from April over the past year have genuinely changed the way we think about horse care and wellness. We've seen some incredible improvements in our own horses and are so very excited to bring her to Stagecoach to share her knowledge with our community!

Whether you're a horse owner, rider, caregiver, equine professional, or simply someone who loves horses and wants to learn more!

Lunch, snacks, resources, samples, giveaways, and LOTS of freebies included.

Melissa Riegel and her horse Cela (Enceladus)
Age: 12
Color: Bay

How long have you had your horse?
Almost 5 years!

What is your favorite thing to do with your horse?
Learn new things!

What do you love about boarding at Stagecoach?
I love how friendly everyone is, and how comfortable I am with the care I know Cela gets.

Fun Facts & Favorite Memories:
Cela wasn’t in the best condition when I got her, but she has settled in nicely to being completely spoiled lol.

The first time we took her on a trail ride, my mom and I learned that she does not like mud puddles, but does really like creeks — and can be hard to get out! She is also oddly scared of turkeys.
