Trail work, obstacle work, jumps, open fields to work in or round pen work. So many options available to offer a good experience for your horse or horses. Each ride with Chris (and your horse) will be accompanied with a saddle horse to offer the best we can for a horse that is uncomfortable trotting out in open space, or struggles on the trail. Arena work, ground work, or round pen work can be audited during the day. The cost is $225 per hour per horse.
This is a GREAT opportunity for anyone wanting quality time on their horse(s).

A beautiful Fall Day for a trail ride 💕

This photo popped up from my Memories of images taken on this day. 💕💕💕💕💔💔

Two of the most influential mares I have ever owned in my life and most likely my lifetime. Indy led me to places I only daydreamed about. The countless rides, conversations, friends and even employment are just a few of the blessings this beautiful girl gave to me. Tess, a standout in the crowd and a favorite to so many, including me. The miles that we covered together will never be forgotten.

The two beautiful mares, inside and out, have been influential to so many children, teens, adults, but mostly to me. There is a stillness here at the farm, a quiet hush. While the leaves continue to change and show off their reds, oranges, and yellows, I am missing their beautiful color here my fields.

Run wild my beautiful, beautiful girls!
