Loess Hills Equestrian, LLC

Loess Hills Equestrian, LLC Hi there! I am Marlee Christensen, Owner or Loess Hills Equestrian. LHE is located in the beautiful Loess Hills of Pisgah, Iowa on my husband's family land.

When you come out for a visit, you will likely see the Christensen's family cattle roaming the countryside, along with my amazing family members working the fields surrounding the facility. Although my facility is brand new (built in April of 2021), I have been providing private lessons for about three years. I have two horses that are used in my lesson program and they are absolute sweethearts. E

ach lesson will be 45 minutes in length and will consist of learning how to properly tack up your horse, how to ride, safety measures, horse behavior, and horse health/wellness. Horse training is also offered at LHE. I would also like to add some credit to certain people since my dreams would not have come true without them: Throughout the years, I have been trained by Professional Barrel Racer Jesse Hodges (Hodges Horsemanship), Professional Hunter/Jumper Caitlin Bazis (Olive Branch Equestrian), and have taken clinics with Morgan Snyder (Snyder Performance Horses). Two of the horses on my property (Savvy and Scotch) were bred by the WONDERFUL, Deb Campbell. Each of these amazing professional are located around the Omaha area and come highly recommended! Please feel free to call/message me with any questions or if you would like to set up a visit!

Two months ago I lost one of my best friend as a terrible house fire claimed her life. She was an impressive archer and I was of course a horseback rider…we had a wild goal of one day combining our skill sets and taking on Mounted Archery together.

Though she is gone, I plan to honor her by continuing our goal and learning archery in order to compete in Mounted Archery. This will soon be incorporated in my business, so her memory lives on.

If anyone has any advice or offer any help with archery, it would be greatly appreciated as I’m sure I will need it!

Shoot my arrows straight for me, Karls 🏹

This week, my lesson students practiced posting on the “correct diagonal”. This is widely used in English disciplines and widely UNDER used in western discipline. If your horse has a bouncy trot, it is kinder to post rather than slam on their back. It’s also best to learn how to post on the correct diagonal pair of legs. This allows your horse to stay balanced and collected, especially while utilizing circle work. Come join me for lessons and advance your skills!

Teaching Intro to Equine Studies was easily the highlight of my year. Every single student brought joy to my Monday class and made it so much fun to teach. I hated ending it today, but look forward to what next year’s class will bring! Special thanks to Savvy, Rosé, Ramsey, and Jaeger for taking such good care of my students! IGNITE Pathways

Education will always be your biggest asset! The horse world is not excluded from that. Recently, I’ve had a few clients ask me about that scary buzz word, EPM. 98% of horses will test positive for this with bloodwork..that does NOT mean your horse has it. A spinal fluid test is the only way to truly test for this disease, and believe it or not, your horse probably doesn’t have it. Make the world a better place for your horse and listen to this podcast! I promise you won’t regret it!

The opportunities IGNITE Pathways provides their students has been just remarkable. I was able to take my Intro to Equine Studies students to two phenomenal equine businesses in the area. Jenson Shires in Blair, NE showed us their breeding program and what it takes to breed a Shire horse, while Nebraska Equine Vet Clinic allowed us to watch a Pre Purchase Exam on a high end Metallic Cat filly. Such a wonderful day!

I can’t be prouder of these three women right here. Kodee and hadley tried out for Queen and Kymber ended up passing down her crown to the LOVELY hadley Thomas! Both of them showed strengths in different ways and both of them made our saddle club proud 🥹 good job, ladies!! We gained another beautiful queen today!

We don’t give horses enough credit for their intelligence and willingness to learn. Briar reminds me of that after just 4 days of training. I’m jealous I’m not her owner.

It warms my heart to see a training horse go home and are gentle with their kids for riding🥹🥰 We’ll miss you, Rosie!
