✨ Meet Ramon — Farrier at Firefly Equestrian ✨

We are so honored to call .jimenezramon part of the Firefly team. 🐴

He treats every horse like gold and cares for them as if they were his own.

Ramon consistently goes above and beyond to ensure each horse’s hoof needs are met, and his knowledge, dedication, and reliability have been absolutely essential to us. Our horses are healthier, happier, and stronger because of him.

If you’re in the Austin area or surrounding communities and looking for a farrier who truly stands above the rest — Ramon is your guy. 💫

🐴💛 Firefly Equestrian Roll Call! 💛🐴

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to walk into our barn… this is it. Adorable heads popping out like,
“Hi, did you bring snacks?”
“Are you here to love me?”
“Do you need help? I can supervise.”

At Firefly, our horses are the heart of everything we do. Each one brings incredible talent, kindness, and personality to our program — and we are honored to care for them and watch their partnerships thrive.

Enjoy this special reel highlighting the beautiful horses who call Firefly home. Whether they’re peeking out for treats, nickering down the aisle, or teaching our riders confidence and clarity, they make every day brighter.

We’re proud to share them with you.

🎄✨Christmas came early at Firefly Equestrian! 🎅🐴

Meet our newest barn helper (and fastest one if we’re being honest)… the Firefly Golf Cart.

She hauls hay, grain, muck, shavings and occasionally children who “promise to help.”

She doesn’t spook, she never forgets her halter, and she listens 100% of the time.

Honestly… she might be our best-behaved barn employee yet. 😂

Welcome to the squad, little buggy! Let’s move some hay! 🧡✨

Say hello to Andy & North — the newest shining duo at Firefly! 🌟🐎

North is settling in like a pro, Andy is all smiles, and we can already tell these two are going to make magic together. ✨

Their story is just getting started, and we’re so honored to witness it unfold.

✨ Welcome Donna & Romero ✨

Help us give a BIG warm Firefly welcome to Romero RDS — lovingly known as “Mero Mero” — and his amazing owner, ! 💛🐴

Meet Romero, the tall, handsome Andalusian gelding who absolutely owns the arena the second he walks in. He’s got that classic Spanish presence — expressive, athletic, and elegant — but also the sweetest “I’m a good boy, I promise” energy that melts your heart on the spot.

Romero originally comes from Ávila, in northern Spain — a place full of ancient castles, mountain air, and big open spaces. And honestly? He carries that story with him. Powerful. Noble. Thoughtful. A total vibe.

But here’s the best part: underneath all that grandeur, Romero is pure sweetness. This guy tries his heart out. He listens, he thinks, he cares — truly the definition of a “whole-hearted horse.” ❤️

Donna and Romero have been on such a meaningful journey together — focusing on comfort, biomechanics, trust, and helping him overcome some challenges with his feet. Watching him blossom (and watching that confidence come out!) has been incredibly special.

The photos Donna shared say it all:
• playful and soft in the barn
• big movement and athleticism under saddle
• and those quiet moments where he’s clearly thinking, processing, and connecting

We’re SO excited to have Romero and Donna here at Firefly as he steps into this next chapter — stronger, softer, and absolutely shining.

Welcome home, sweet Romero. Welcome home, Donna. You fit right in. 🤍✨

✨ Welcome Luz & Donna ✨

Help us welcome “Inesperado de la Luz” — and his amazing owner, — to the Firefly Family! 💛🐴

Meet Luz, a stunning satin-white Andalusian whose name means “Unexpected Light.” And honestly… that couldn’t be more spot on.

Back in 2018, Donna traveled to Spain and met Luz for the very first time — and boom, instant love story. ✨ She fell head-over-heels for him right there in Andalucía and knew he had to come home with her. Their partnership has been rooted in softness, trust, and pure heart ever since.

Luz was born in Lucena, near historic Córdoba — basically one of the dreamiest equestrian regions on earth. Picture warm breezes, silver-green olive groves, whitewashed villages, and centuries of classical Spanish horsemanship. You can feel all that heritage wrapped up in his calm, elegant presence.

As a proud Cartujano-bred PRE, Luz brings that traditional Spanish elegance, paired with the sweetest, most intuitive spirit. He’s the horse who lowers his energy, tunes right into you, and says, “Let’s breathe and just be.” Every moment with him feels peaceful, grounding, and genuinely special.

The photos Donna shared say it all — quiet barn moments, soft connection, and those beautifully present rides that show just how deep their bond runs.

We are so excited to have Luz and Donna here at Firefly as they continue building a foundation of relaxation, lightness, and connection.

Welcome home, Luz. Welcome home, Donna. You two are already shining bright. 🤍🌿✨

📣🐴 We are honored to be featured in today’s Community Impact — Southwest Austin edition.

The past few months have been full of long days, hard work, big goals, and steady progress — and having our story highlighted in our local community means the world to us. What a beautiful way to kick off Thanksgiving week!

We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who has supported Firefly Equestrian — our clients, our families, and especially our husbands, whose encouragement makes this possible.

At this time, all of our stalls are full. We are continuing to welcome new boarding clients to our waitlist, and will notify families as training horses complete their programs and additional stalls become available.

✨ Welcome Chloe & Rae ✨
deyoung has loved Rae since Nov 2023, when an open-minded horse search led her to the most unexpected match: a gorgeous Georgian Grande who can fox hunt, event, trail ride, dressage… you name it, Rae’s game. And as long as there’s a cookie involved? She’ll learn anything. 🍪😉

Chloe grew up in Kansas and moved to Austin two years ago, visiting Rae every few months until she could finally bring her down to Texas this week. She’s now working toward her MA in Marketing (we love a marketing girl! 🙌) and is excited to get back to her barn-life roots while still in her “city girl era.”

We’re so happy this sweet, talented pair chose to call Firefly home. Welcome, Chloe & Rae — we can’t wait for the adventures ahead! ❤️🐴

✨ Welcome, Paige & Zeus ✨

We’re so excited to welcome Paige and her longtime partner Zeus to the Firefly Family! 💫

Originally from Spring, Texas, Paige has been with Zeus for over 11 years — a true partnership built on years of trust, training, and friendship. Together, they’ve spent countless weekends competing in jumper shows at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, TX, where their bond and teamwork always shined through. 🏇✨

After recently earning her graduate degree in neuroscience in Canada (way to go, Paige! 👏), she and Zeus have now made the move to Austin, and we couldn’t be happier that they’ve chosen Firefly Equestrian as their new home.

Zeus has already settled in beautifully — he has a calm, gentle presence around the barn and a big love for treats (very food motivated, and we love him for it! 🥕).

Welcome home, Paige and Zeus — we’re so glad you’re here! ❤️

The First of Many Pony Show Days

Today is such a special milestone — our daughters showed in their very first horse show. 🤍

There were moments this year we weren’t sure we’d even make it to this day… but with so much love, support, and determination — here we are.

And the sweetest part — we got to lead each of them into the ring on Welsh ponies… just like we did in our very first shows all those years ago. 🐴

These are the days that become lifelong core memories — the family fun, the confidence, the sportsmanship, the giggles, the pony snuggles… all of it.

We can’t wait to invite even more of our Firefly families to join us at the next one — because these moments are truly magical to experience together.

✨ Our Story ✨

Firefly Equestrian was born from lifelong friendship and a shared love of horses that began with a special pony named Madoc Firefly. 🐴💫

Sarah and April grew up just down the road from each other in Montgomery, Texas — spending their days riding and learning at Madoc Farms under the guidance of Nancy Hinz, Miriam Williams Gerdes, and farm owner Mary Alice Williams.

What started as lessons and barn chores quickly turned into their first jobs — and a lifelong passion for horsemanship.

Immersed in the Welsh pony community, they traveled to shows across Texas and beyond, proudly representing Madoc Farms and forming lifelong friendships within that close-knit circle of breeders and riders.

Each proudly owned and showed her own Welsh Cob:
✨ April with Madoc Rhossili Bay and Madoc Talisman
✨ Sarah with Madoc Prince Henry, Madoc Prince Edward, and Madoc Medallion

Through early mornings, long show days, and late-night rides, they learned hard work, responsibility, and the joy of caring for horses — together. 💕

Life led them down different paths — April graduated from the University of Texas and built a career in marketing, helping launch UberEats in Austin and San Antonio and later contributing to business growth at Dell Technologies.

Sarah graduated from Baylor University, where she rode on the equestrian team and trained alongside Olympic rider Guenter Seidel, earning her USDF Gold Medal and building a respected dressage career. 🥇

Years later, they both found themselves back in Austin — now raising daughters who share that same spark. When they couldn’t find a barn that felt quite right to nurture it, they decided to start one.

Today, Firefly Equestrian reflects their shared dream — built with love, gratitude, and the incredible support of their families, friends, and equestrian community.

Sarah and April are endlessly thankful for everyone cheering them on as they build a vibrant equestrian community in Austin, Texas. 💫
