What a CRAZY morning ⛈️ Thunder, lightning, and wind - oh my!

Needless to say, the insane weather has cancelled lessons for the day - stay tuned for tomorrow’s verdict as soon as we have more forecast info. The horses are loving the cooler weather and rain, perfect time for a roll in the mud 🐴

It may be dreary outside, but the chickens are providing some of the most amazing eggs lately. Zero filter - these truly are grey and pink! The heavy bloom on the outside is what gives them this almost unnatural color, but when wet, you can see the true egg color underneath. Every bloom is completely unique, so collecting eggs is a daily surprise 🌈

Afternoon sand naps hit different 😴

While we’re ALL loving this mild sunny weather - we have a chance of rain Tuesday night through Thursday afternoon. We still plan to hold lessons as normal, and ride in the rain if it remains light - but please check your messages before heading out Wednesday/Thursday, in case the storms become more intense!

Sweet Betty 💔

It’s a solemn day at the barn.

As many know, Betty lived with PPID (cushings disease) for many years. While it had been easily managed, she began exhibiting later stage symptoms over summer - hence her lesson absence the last few months. While these symptoms affected her work, she was still happy as could be retired in the pony pasture with her friends.

Yesterday things took a rapid turn - and Betty was in immense pain from the PPID progression last night. We made the heartbreaking but incredibly necessary call to end her suffering, surrounded by her people and herd.

Betty touched so many lives. She taught countless children, in and out of the saddle, and was always the kindest soul. She was the first horse our tiniest students fell in love with, and old reliable for ANY activity at the barn. While her story before joining our herd is unknown, her legacy here will live on forever ❤️

Rest in Peace Betty 🦄

Our lesson theme of the month seems to be Straightness September 🫡😂

No matter your riding level, your horse’s background, or your discipline - straightness is ALWAYS key 🔑 And it is ever elusive since absolutely no being is perfectly straight, even, or symmetrical 🫠

Truly, it’s an art! 🖼️

Spicy little noodle 🐍

This baby gopher snake was only 10” long and the width of a pinky finger, but talk about a BIG personality - hissing and striking while trying to move it to safety. It can digest its meal in peace now ✌️
