Looking for a great riding program this year??

Want to level up this year?
Ever thought about riding with us?

If you’re already hauling a seasoned gymkhana horse or a solid junior rodeo horse, lessons still matter — probably more than you think.

Experience is a great foundation, but it doesn’t mean the learning stops. Even good horses (and good riders) benefit from guidance, tune-ups, and fresh eyes.
Lessons aren’t about going backward.

They’re about:
→ sharpening timing
→ cleaning up small habits
→ improving communication
→ helping your horse progress instead of just coping
→ giving you clear direction and confidence

As you move up, the details matter more — not less.

That’s why successful riders keep:
✔️ trainers in their corner
✔️ feedback coming
✔️ an open mind

If you’re ready to keep improving and want support along the way, we’d love to have you come ride with us.

Let’s make this your best season yet.

Happy National Farmer's Day! If you like to eat food, thank a farmer! 🍔

Supporting your local farmer is easy. Buy fruits and vegetables from farmers’ markets. Visit pick-your-own farms. Consider investing in a CSA farm share next year. Keep your eyes and ears open for local small-town festivals. From persimmon festivals to pawpaw festivals to garlic festivals, you’re supporting farming communities.

Where does YOUR food come from? Find more ways to "know your farmer" at Almanac.com/National-Farmers-Day

🚨 Santa Clara County is trying to rezone horse stables OUT of agriculture! 🚨
For generations, California has recognized horses as livestock and a vital part of agriculture. Now, Santa Clara County is proposing zoning changes that would:

❌ Strip horse stables and breeding from agriculture zoning

❌ Displace hundreds of horses into unsafe conditions

❌ Threaten small family businesses as well as youth, veterans and handicap riding programs

Please stand with me by voicing your opinions to county officials and sharing this everywhere you can.

✅ Sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/santa-clara-county-don-t-push-out-horses

✅ Send a quick email to the County Supervisors and planning commission: message me for email list and drafted email.

Every voice matters. Please share this post to spread the word — together we can protect horses, our community, and our agricultural heritage! 💙🐎
