Hey you know what your kid DOESN’T need this year? A half-handled stud pony from a horse trader.

Don’t do it. I don’t care if they put a bow on it. I don’t care if they named it “Snowflake” or “Jinglebells” yesterday at the auction they dragged it home from. I don’t care if they tell you it does long division and will parallel park your car for you.

Get them the lesson package instead. Give them a certificate to attend a summer riding camp. Don’t make an impulse purchase of something with teeth, hooves and testicles. We see minis offered this time of year every year, and then they are kicked out in a big pasture with cattle to founder or put back on Craigslist in a month or two. Think twice about giving a life as a gift, it’s a big commitment and the little ones aren’t really less complicated than the big ones to care for PROPERLY.

They literally go, “my tummy hurts I think I’ll try to die about it because we can’t vomit” and “mmm grass is good, except sometimes it can cause changes that literally cripple us” and “when we hurt somewhere and you don’t notice our micro expressions, we might have to just hurt you to communicate our pain in a way you’ll notice”. It’s a big responsibility. Please don’t take it lightly. We’d really appreciate it, and the critters would too.

If you wind up with a little sweet and screamy stallion against your will in Kentucky and are struggling to afford castration, we’d love to connect you to resources who could help.

*This little guy didn’t do anything wrong, he was just one of the lucky participants in a castration clinic several years back.

Having an indoor arena in the winter to get out of the wind and wet is such a blessing! Ours is especially nice since it also will heat up quite a bit if the sun comes out!

If you would like to be able to ride through the winter, contact us about lessons, training, or boarding!!
