Finding the saddle, bit or bridle or anything in the horse world can be hard. I have many things for sale. Trailer your horse over and try out our saddles or bridles. That way you can decide on the spot if it works or doesnt. (Free arena fee with trial). Take it home on trial if you like it.

Let me know what you are looking for. I have old schooling saddles that are $50- $100 all the way up to very nice French dressage (devacoux) and jumping saddles (Antares- prestige) for $1500. Sizes 16”- 17.5”. I also have a micklem full and cob bridle for sale. We have a few bits you can try too while here.

Does anyone need a feather lite 5 gooseneck or kids Polaris ATV? We also have those to look at. If you are thinking you might need something try us. We have a lot of stuff that is overstock right now and need to down size before winter.

What a beautiful weekend we had!!! Most of us were at plantation field having fun.
The fun part is getting to dress up for Halloween at this year end event. Kayla went as Barbie on Jade for ER, Lisa went as a mom on Dixie for SH. Ava went as a fairy on Flower for BNR and decided not to dress up on Sunday on Grace for SRchamps. We all had so much fun in the sun! So proud of all of our ponies and peeps!

“You are second guessing yourself. Don’t do that!” - Jacqui Sharp.
The last words of advice I got from a great horsewoman.

Today, was Jacqui Sharps Memorial service. The room was packed and the stories that were told barely summed up how this one woman changed the lives of many.
As I listened and looked around I could only think of how much I learned from this fireball of a lady that pretty much ran my barn without anyone knowing since the day she stepped through the door.

Jacqui was quick to love or hate something. Everyone knew that. She would announce how brilliant something was and within a week she would make sure everyone knew how awful it was.

Do you know how scary that is as a barn owner? I knew I had maybe weeks before she insisted on leaving our care. So I came up with a game plan. I avoided her as much as I could. That way she couldn’t point a finger and tell me what was wrong. It was mostly based on her moods. So- I would ask the boarders- how is Jacqui feeling today? If they said she was cranky I would run and wait for her to leave a voicemail of the stuff to fix immediately. That was our relationship for the first year. There was no way I could face her when she was going on a rant about something. She was scary.

Soon though I had figured out that all she wanted was the best care, and all of her ranting was training me to be as great as her. Instead of running I learned to pull her in closer.

The secret that nobody knew was- anytime we were going to make a change or I was planning something new I called her and said: “this is top secret- tell no one, what do you think of this idea?”

She gave me the best advice, and was my backbone to standing up or sitting down when needed. After I put her at the “head of the round table” we became partners in crime.

She was a mother figure to me. She forced me to say “no” to many things. She also is the reason we agreed to import a horse from Ireland. She insisted I was to keep this horse, she loves him. We are keeping that horse!

Since her passing, the barn has felt different. Less energy, less complaints, and… less things to worry about. We are all sad. Especially the dogs and horses. Jacqui was the treat queen. The animals would hear her voice and gather around her like she was the master of hounds.

It will take time for my next in line mentor to step up to the head of the round table. She’s been so busy dealing with the grief of her best friend. It takes an army to run a good barn and I feel like we lost our sergeant in charge. The bar is held high because of Jacqui and it has to stay that way. Insider info keeps it there.

When I say this barn is like family I mean it. All of our past and current boarders were there today. Many spoke of Jacqui and miss her. We all have wonderful memories of her and I’m just so glad that she didn’t leave us in the first two weeks of being here, and stayed with us since we opened five years ago. She is a forever boarder now. Gone but never forgotten. I can proudly say her work ethic rubbed off on many including me.
Till we meet again my friend.

Just watched an interesting video from a livery in England who often gives business advice to boarding facilities.

Basically, we can charge whatever we want depending on our own care, and facility.

I have seen so many different ways of doing this.

For us: full board means everything. Whatever you need- we will do it without hidden fees.

We don’t hold your hand through it though. Most of our boarders schedule their own appointments with their people. If you want supplements or special hay- great- bring it and we will give it.
You want your horse to have flyspray, blankets, wraps, ointments, medication, or special instructions? Tell us and supply it… and we will do whatever it is you want. No hidden fees.
We let you know when you are running low and if you are out of it we will supply it without billing. One check each month.

We don’t force people to do what we do for our own horses. However, if you are a hands off boarder or new to horse keeping- we will support you and schedule your horses in with our chosen people. We will advise and teach. We aren’t really a beginner barn.

Most of our boarders are wise to horse keeping and like control over their own babies. We can either be a daycare, or a home away from home.

No matter what… it all evens out for us. If I have to hold a horse for a farrier one day I don’t charge for it because I know that person that couldn’t show up is worth their weight in gold of valuable help. Everyone chips in and my boarders have saved me on many things that I had a schedule conflict.

It’s a community. We don’t do hidden fees. We just help when we can and we are very fortunate that we have well behaved horses, and the best people that come together. It’s all about communication.

If I had forced all my boarders to choose only my professionals, I wouldn’t know as much as I do from continual learning. I think- the more the merrier. It’s a community barn.

Every person here has a choice while sitting at the round table. I am anti hidden fees. I don’t like it. Make it one fee and make it up in time and effort. Mostly, I owe my boarders the most effort. They are amazing. It’s what drives us to make our one fee worth being here.

Call me crazy but I like to scrub, and fill the water tubs after the horses go out because… they like to drink from the hose. I also like to fill water buckets after they come in. I rather they drink half the bucket while I’m filling it than find an empty bucket. Saves time and energy, and I like watching them drink. It’s very relaxing.

* weird photo of our makeshift hanging pvc “hose”. It attaches to our water hydrant. In winter- we got fed up with the hose freezing so we use a pvc pipe connector instead for this hydrant. The horses like to play with the water fall. When done we unhang it and lay it on the ground. Often times the horses will bath their faces in the waterfall.

I was sadly not born on a horse farm. My backyard growing up was tiny. I did however look into the township codes to see if we could have chickens or a pony at around age 9. I drew photos of how I would covert our two car garage into a barn.

And… No. We couldn’t even have chickens. But I kept daydreaming anyway. I researched everything about barns, and land starting at around age 10. I was obsessed.

One day three Guinea hens showed up and were enjoying our koi pond (which I made in 4rth grade). Pretty sure we weren’t allowed to put a hole in the ground either but I did.

We loved them! They were however quite vocal. Anytime we walked out onto our deck they would come running for treats with huge squeaking sounds. They chose us! We had no idea where they came from but finally I was satisfied with my miserable life living in suburbia. They were maybe our visitors for at least a week.

And then one of our neighbors complained about them and just as quickly as they appeared they were stolen by animal control.
That was when I needed to move out. I was desperate for my own land to keep horses. The beast had been woken within me.

Little by little our land expanded. We started with apartments in the city. Concrete wasteland during college. We started with 2 acres. Then upgraded to 7, and then upgraded to 40.

Is it enough? No! I want at least 200 acres. Maybe then I will be happy. Please feel sorry for Mr. Luke he tries so hard to deal with his visionary wife. New ideas everyday!

Anyway, I didn’t grow up on a horse farm.
I found a man that worked a real job, made real money, and loves me enough to let me have my dream come true.

There was no way my starving artist lifestyle would ever be able to have all this. Am I the mind behind the madness? You betcha. We could be living in a beautiful house with a white picket fence anywhere we want but… if I don’t have a view of horses out my windows I don’t want it.

Except in the winter on a few days when the hoses freeze. That’s about the only time I miss my city and suburbia life.

I blame the Guinea hens. They were the start to my madness. That’s my story. Ok bye.

Jet (who didn’t get a look at these today yet- he’s on the left. ) immediately noticed something new in the distance and trotted right to them! Marco and Ollie (Marco is the alpha dark bay and Ollie the baby stays by his side) pretended they didn’t see or jump those today. Herd dynamic is interesting. This is what they do naturally and we expect them to jump these without seeing them first.

Sums up…the gelding mind. If one is curious they all are curious. Told you so on… those jumps are scary.

They will be bombproof horses in about a year of looking at these close up every day. Baby steps to eventing. 🤣. Monkey see monkey do. It’s crazy to think they just jump these with that kind of first instinct in their head. All because we told them to.

I thought these ladies might need a challenge added to their trail rides. New jumps on the gallop track. These tubes might look little but horses are notoriously weirded out by them. Good luck ladies! Welcome to the bombproof trail ride.

Busy day today, but now that we are set up… come visit us at Ludwig’s! We still have lots of riding and lessons this weekend. Plus some showing!
