The long-awaited update on Horse Haven Ranch and our future ❤️
Last year, my husband received some exciting opportunities that had us seriously considering a move across the country. We explored relocating Horse Haven Ranch and even expanding to a larger footprint. Everything seemed to be falling into place… until we actually put our property on the market.
We quickly realized that while so many people say they’d love to do what I do — work from home caring for horses and their people — the reality is very different. The horse industry is facing real challenges right now, from veterinary shortages to the loss of boarding and rehab facilities. With Sunset Equestrian Center now being sold to developers, it makes you wonder how many places will be left for our horses.
We hoped to find someone who would take over our clientele and continue the high standard of care we’ve built. The facility had everything needed to succeed, but we couldn’t find the right person who wanted to keep it as a horse property. Instead, we had offers wanting to change it into something else entirely — and that was never an option for me.
In our five years since opening in May 2021, our overnight clients have continued to double each year. We’ve welcomed Olympic-level show horses, miniature ponies, donkeys, mules, show cows, goats, and everything in between. We’ve provided a safe, climate-controlled haven for traveling families and horses — including our most recent return client who called it his “safe landing” after driving through the night in the heat.
That’s the magic of Horse Haven Ranch — personalized hospitality, comfort, and peace of mind for every horse and every client.
After listing the property, we received an incredible outpouring of love from so many of you — our boarding clients, mobile clients, and friends in the community — pleading with us to stay.
So today, we’re officially pulling our place off the market.
We hear you. We feel your love for this special place, and we care deeply about each of you. Horse Haven Ranch will continue right here in St. George, Utah, serving our clients with the same dedication, top-tier care, and heartfelt hospitality you’ve come to expect.
We’re also excited to keep growing the Utah Horse Directory — our free interactive resource designed to connect the entire equestrian community across the state. We’ll continue adding categories, helping rescues, and making it easier for everyone to find quality services, boarding, and support.
On a personal note, I’m actively continuing my education in equine veterinary technology (CVT), rehabilitation, bodywork, and performance conditioning. These credentials will allow us to expand our equine wellness services and bring more opportunities for growth and higher-level care to our clients and their horses.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re staying — and we’re more committed than ever to serving you and the entire horse community!
