People always ask us, “When is it too hot to saddle up?” Well, we're here to gallop you through a fun crash course! Turns out, our four-legged friends heat up way faster than us mere humans—like 3 to 10 times quicker! Just a breezy 15-17 minutes of exercise can crank their internal thermostat to the danger zone.

So, how do we know when it's too scorching? In horsey lingo, we check the heat index by adding humidity and temperature. Anything below 130 is a green light for riding, but above that, we start tiptoeing around. Here's a handy guide to keep you on track!

No need to sweat about lessons! We’ll keep you in the loop if any are canceled. We aim to schedule them bright and early or late in the day to dodge the heat, but when that heat index decides to stick around, we may have to call it a day.

Say hello to our quirky goat pals! 🐐

Meet Tac, the white goat. We lovingly dub him "Old Man" or sometimes "Ancient Artifact" because, well, he's been around the block a few times! 😂

And lurking in the background is Truffle, the brown goat. We affectionately call him "Menace" because, let's be honest, that's his middle name!

Get ready to saddle up for our "Meet Our Lesson Horses" mini-series every Thursday! Kicking things off is Citation, or as we like to call him, Ci. This dashing 13-year-old is a retired racehorse who once galloped his way into the hearts of many. Now, he's traded in his racing shoes for teaching boots as a cherished member of our lesson team. Ci is a champ at guiding both kids and adults through their lessons, and when he's not being the ultimate teacher, he's chilling with his horse pals. He's got a soft spot for water, cookies, and anything in his favorite color, teal. Looking for some horsey companionship? Ci's your guy, available for half or full lease!

Anyone else enjoy the sound of rain ?
Even better when you have a view of horses 🐎🌧️

Don’t worry ! All our fields have sheds. Most of the time our horses will Choose to continue grazing. Horses often face away from the rain because it impairs their senses of hearing, smell, and vision, making it harder to detect potential threats.
