What a way to kick off our 2026 event season! 🇺🇸🐴
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Memorial Day Party this year at Shenandoah Riding Center. The barn was absolutely buzzing with excitement all day long, and it was so special seeing so many families, friends, riders, and new faces come together to celebrate with us.
We started the year off right with pony rides, bounce houses, wagon rides, giant games, crafts, horses, horses, and more horses! From kids laughing in the arena to trail rides and wagon rides rolling out all day, the energy around the barn reminded us exactly why we love hosting these events for our community.
While the day was filled with fun, we also want to take a moment to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day — honoring and remembering the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are incredibly grateful for their sacrifice and the freedoms we enjoy because of them. ❤️🤍💙
A huge thank you to everyone who came out, supported the event, helped make the day run smoothly, and shared the holiday weekend with us. We appreciate every single one of you and can’t wait to see everyone again for the next big event at the barn!

🐴 Meet a Horse Monday: Leo🐴💖

Can someone call Barbie… because we found her horse.
Leo is a stunning Haflinger gelding with a kind eye and an even sweeter personality. He’s truly the full package—amazing on trail rides, lessons, camps, and lead lines—but his favorite spotlight is at pony parties, where he gets to dress up and show off (and yes… he knows how good he looks).

Leo is also one of Belle’s many boyfriends, and he takes that job very seriously. You’ll often find him waiting patiently at the gate like a true gentleman, ready for his girl to return.

Come meet this real-life heartthrob and see why everyone at the barn adores him. One ride with Leo, and you’ll be hooked. ✨
