Did you know Robert Redford asked Buck Brannaman to be the horse consultant on the movie “The Horse Whisperer“? Buck also served as his stunt double in the movie and Buck’s personal horse was also in the film.

The character Tom Booker was based on Buck and other amazing horsemen and Robert Redford wanted to ensure that the horse scenes were right.

Our upcoming fundraiser and fun event is October 28! Signed Buck Groundwork book as door prize, over 30 silent auction items including scenic plane ride, boat ride, beautiful art work, hand made cinch, outdoor items and much more!!

Donation based event.

We had an amazing, hot and very busy summer.

Both Katherine and Susan took students to many jumping shows with lots of ribbons and success!

Susan journeyed to WEC and her girls were in the ribbons all weekend.

Good luck to Phoebe and her mare Hiccup this weekend as she travels to St. Louis, Missouri with her horse hiccup to a Buck Brannaman clinic!

And last but not least, Leah and family welcomed their newest addition on September 2nd. Welcome to the barn fam Wilder!

Welcome to the Rising Hope family Tarz! This lovely Dutch Warmblood gelding was recently donated to our school horse program. Tarz has quite the dressage resume, and was shown through I1! (Which means he can do super neat things like Tempe changes and canter pirouettes) He already fits in so well, has been used for horse camp and is becoming a quick favorite for both kids and adults who ride him.
Thank you to everyone who made it possible for him to come to Rising Hope, we sure appreciate you!
