✨🐴 Meet a Horse Monday: Pixie 🐴✨
Pixie is our 22-year-old senior sweetheart and the proud little sister of Tinkerbell. While her big sister brings the sass, Pixie prefers a slower pace—and honestly, she’s perfected it. 💕

As one of our golden girls here at Shenandoah Riding Center, Pixie is a pro at lead line rides, kids camps, lessons, and pony parties. Her patient, willing attitude makes her the ideal first-time horse for tiny riders who are just starting their horse journey.

If it’s your child’s very first ride and you want calm, safe, and confidence-building—Pixie is your gal. And that’s exactly why returning guests keep requesting this sweet old lady again and again.

🐾 Book your next lead line with Pixie and see why she’s a forever favorite at SRC.

🎄🦌 We survived TWO FULL DAYS of Reindeer Round-Up Kids Camp 🦌🎄
Which means:
• Glitter was spilled
• Horses were caught (some more willingly than others 😅)
• Kids rode ba****ck like tiny cowboys and cowgirls
• And at least one “reindeer” absolutely pretended not to hear us
Between coloring, crafting, learning how to tack up, riding basics, catching loose horses, and ba****ck riding… these kids packed a LOT of horsemanship into two days — and had a blast doing it!

What truly made this camp special wasn’t just what the kids learned — it was who they became over these two days. We watched confidence grow, patience deepen, and real connections form between horse and rider.
We ended camp with our first-ever Kids Camp–Themed Award Ceremony, because every rider deserved to go home celebrated. Each camper received a ribbon, and we had a few special shout-outs we couldn’t skip:
🏁 Relay Race Winners
• John with Sparky
• Elizabeth with Sparky
🎶 Musical Horses Winners
• Ellie with Madonna
• Adele with Joe
🎅 Santa’s Little Helper Award
For being a cheerful, dependable helper and always lending a hand — John
🕊️ Peaceful Reins Award
For gentle, quiet hands and calm rein control — Elizabeth
🦌 Reindeer Whisperer Award
For listening to your horse and understanding their needs with patience, kindness, and heart — Ellie
These kids are truly something special. We are so proud of each and every one of them and can’t wait to watch them grow into the next generation of incredible horsemen and horsewomen. 💫🐎
