Over the years, a phrase I have heard numerous times while interviewing potential boarders is "They're just in it for the money." This is a HUGE RED FLAG to me!

One, there is no money in boarding. None. All boarding facilities have at least one other source of income. Often, they have multiple. And, if there is somehow a little extra money at the end of the month, it typically gets put back into the farm anyway. Which benefits the boarders.

Two, people caring for your horses work very hard and deserve to be able to pay their bills AND enjoy a bit of a personal life. Just because they're doing "what they love" (which gets thrown in their faces waaaaaaay too often) doesn't mean that they don't need a break once in awhile. And they deserve to have time and money to buy, prepare, and eat healthy food. Do you really want an exhausted, burned out, malnourished person tending to your beloved equine!? Horse are very fragile, their caretakers need to be on the ball at all times. And they deserve to be able to buy necessities. I'll be honest, I have bras and underwear that are older than most people's vehicles!!!

Three, in my opinion, people who say this phrase have a poor sense of boundaries. Another facility most likely set a personal or financial boundary and this person didn't like it. Boundaries are fundamental for a person's mental health, and even more important when your job is in your back yard!!!

More and more boarding barns are reducing their numbers, of just completely getting out of the business all together. If you are a horse owner who has said this phrase, or even just thought it, I implore you to change your thinking. Because you are wrong.

Today, we hosted a Horse Show Fun Day! Due to some personal and family reasons over the last several years, we stopped getting students out to horse shows. It is also not really the focus of our lesson program. But we have some students that are interested and ready to give shows a try. A local dressage club, WNYDA, is now offering virtual shows, and we thought this would be a wonderful way for students to "dip their toes" into showing, without even having to leave the farm! We started the day grooming and bathing the horses, did a bit of schooling, then each student was recorded riding their test of choice. Some will be submitting their video into the WNYDA virtual show, and some did it for the fun and experience. A great time was had by all and we will be doing it again, but we're gonna call it The Delete and Do It Again series, cuz that what you get to do if you mess up!!! 🤣

Horse community, please show these folks some love! Some are beginners, some have never shown before, some are working with younger horses. Be the supportive community that I know you are! 💚

What do we have going on here...Dusting off the ole fancy dressage arena setup. Actually, I'm going to let the inch of rain that were supposed to get tomorrow rinse everything off really well. Work smarter, not harder!!! Stay tuned!!!!

We have such a great community here at Oasis! We enjoy doing events and activities with our boarders and students. Something I had started to do a few years ago was Arts N Crafts days. Many of our boarders horses are retired, so this was a great way to offer something unmounted. It had somewhat fallen by the wayside recently, but after a few requests, I've decided to bring it back. I call it Barn N Brushes! This past Saturday was our first of many fun art projects, here are some pics from the day! This was only offered to boarders/leasees, but I am planning to offer another day to our students very soon! Stay tuned!!!!!
