THIS WEEKEND: Saturday July 19th 10am at Misty Step Stables with speaker Anna Boger DVM: the second in our four-part lecture series on equine behavior.

At this next lecture, Dr. Boger will cover non-associative learning, or what shapes our horses’ emotional response to the world around them!

We’ll be workshopping case studies and demonstrating practical training strategies for when + how to manage fear, excitement and everything in between… using the horses at our farm here at Misty Step Stables! 🥰

Our June Horse of the Month — the sweetest pony, Angel Mist.

Angel is a young Chincoteague pony known best known for learning faster than we can come up with things to teach her. She is whip-smart, gentle, athletic, and absolutely knows the next step in the training plan before you do. The sky's the limit for Angel and her equally talented person.
