We hope everyone is having an amazing summer and enjoying great times with your families! We know vacation and family time are very important parts of every summer schedule. However, we rely on your communication to plan for staff and horse availability for your riding lesson. Planning for these things allow us to run smoothly and efficiently in both our time and our scheduling. We value your time and your lesson, and ask that you allow us 24 hours notice if you are unable to come to your scheduled lesson time. Thank you so much for helping us stay on top of this, and we look forward to seeing you all at your next lesson time!

May 28, 1998-April 17, 2026

At almost 28 years old we had to say goodbye to one of our retired lesson horses.

My name is Lydia, y’all might or might not know me, I help with lessons on Thursdays. I’m not normally the one who post on here for Phyllis but I felt as if I should be the one who made this post.

Scarlett came to Phyllis when she was 6 years old after being passed around quite a bit because she never was the friendly type, you really had to understand her and how she show affection. She was definitely a typical ”mare”.

I’ve been here for 21 years, and of those 21 years, Scarlett and I have been very close for 19 years. Sometimes certain animals are just more than an animal. They become family, her and I had something I truly hope everyone finds in their life. She wasn’t most peoples favorite but I’m beyond grateful she chose me as her person. We did so many things together over the years, horse shows, trail rides , midnight ba****ck rides. Loosing her has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do but I am grateful for the time I got with her. I hope you all can see how great of a hose she truly was through the pictures and videos I will post of her.
