🐴 Available for Lease — Not for Sale 🐴

Meet Dolly, our 13-hand POA pony mare. Dolly is a sweet, gentle old soul — believed to be in her late 20s — and she is sound, safe, and as kind as they come.

Dolly came to us underweight, and we've gotten her all caught up: feet, shots, and worming are all up to date. She does need soaked feed, which is easy to manage.

Honestly? Dolly just isn't happy in a lesson program — and we want what's best for her. She would thrive as a backyard pony with a family of her own. And yes, she can be ridden! She walks, trots, and even has a comfortable canter for a little bit — just right for a child to bond with her and learn alongside her. 💕

✨ 13 hands, POA mare
✨ Sound and safe — walk, trot & canter
✨ UTD on feet, shots & worming
✨ Needs soaked feed
✨ Off-farm lease only — not for sale
✨ Open to a trial

Message us if Dolly might be your family's pony!

A place to learn, grow, and belong.

🤎 Some dreams just wait for the right moment. 🤎

These two sisters have loved horses their whole lives — but somehow, life never put them in the saddle together. One rode years ago and has carried that love with her ever since. The other is brand new to riding, finding horses later in life.

This week, they finally rode side by side.

Watching a former equestrian share this with her sister — part teacher, part partner-in-crime — was something special. There was laughter, a few nerves, and that quiet moment when it stops being about riding and starts being about everything horses give us: confidence, connection, and time together you can't get back.

It's never too late, and you're never too new. This is what our barn is for. 🐴

Welcome to the herd, ladies — here's to many more rides together. ❤️

🥾✨ Horsemanship Club: Boot Polishing Day! ✨🥾

Riding is only half of horsemanship — the other half is taking care of your gear. This week our Horsemanship Club rolled up their sleeves and learned how to polish tall boots until they shine.

Clean boots = respect for your horse, your barn, and yourself.

So proud of these kids for learning the unglamorous parts of horse life — that's where the real horsemen and horsewomen are made. 🐴❤️

🎬 We're in the paper — and the movies! 🎬

Our barn just got a starring role! Cape Elizabeth filmmaker Theo Rodrigues picked Shady Oaks as the set for his new comedy short, "Dirt on My Boots" — the story of a spoiled trust-fund kid sent to a working farm to learn the value of hard work. (He came to the right place — hard work is kind of our whole thing around here. 😉)

Theo grew up in Cape Elizabeth and wrote the film with this farm in mind. Local high schoolers helped out on set, and we can't wait to see the finished film.

Thank you, Theo, for featuring our little corner of Cape Elizabeth! 🐴❤️

What a beautiful fall finals! 🍂

Thank you Sassy Strides Equestrian and NEJA for hosting such a wonderful show. The jumps were so classy, the footing was amazing, and the prizes were beautiful.
