If you need it, we have it…. horse manure! If you can haul it, you can have it! Make the most of farming and gardening seasons by getting your hands on nature’s best free fertilizer (while supplies last). Bring your trailer and we’ll load it for you. Be sure to call us first so we know you’re coming.

High Hurdles is still in search of another equine partner to join our program!

Currently accepting suitable horses on a free lease or donation basis. Requirements include being sound at the walk and trot, tolerant of various stimulus, polite in hand and coming with lots of experience under saddle to work with our riders of varying abilities.

High Hurdles horses recieve top quality care, including customized feed plans with pasture and free choice hay, ration balancer and grain as needed and maintenance supplements to support their comfort. Routine chiropractic, farrier and medical care with two veterinary practices frequenting the facility. Our herd lives in a beautiful clean and modern facility with ten acres of pasture (dry lots available as well). Our arenas boast comfortable and dust free rubber footing.

Free leasing may be a great option for you if you are finding yourself unable to give your horse the attention they need in the moment, but still want to retain ownership. (Thinking of you moms with babies and toddlers… or the college students out there too!)

Please reach out if you have a horse that might fit our needs, and for details on the donation and free lease contracts! [email protected] or 716-436-3935.

All donations are tax deductible.

Please help spread the word and share!

🏜 Per High Hurdles policy, lessons will be either off horse or rescheduled as appropriate to each individual rider when temps fall below 20 or rise above 85 degrees (subject to change due to wind chill and humidity).

Instructors will be in contact with you next week and throughout the summer!

Ramona has been facing health challenges over the past few weeks, and we ask that you keep her in your thoughts. We think we are closing in on a diagnosis and are hopeful that the treatment plan recommended by our veterinarian will guide her toward a speedy recovery. 🤞🖤

As always, your donations to support the program and the horses' medical needs are deeply appreciated, allowing us to provide them with the best possible care so they can do their great work.

This week, we are focusing on navigating mazes. The challenge involves planning a route through the pole maze and executing that plan effectively. If a pole is stepped over, the exercise must be restarted. This setup offers numerous options and opportunities, and Dave demonstrated significant improvement in the precision and subtlety of his aids as he practiced various patterns, ultimately becoming a skilled maze solver!

We’re still wondering though… when will it be warm enough to go outside??!!

It’s not Tuesday, but terminology is important any day of the week!

It's !
