Cactus Valley Ranch Boarding and Riding

A horse doesn’t measure you by yesterday.
It doesn’t keep score of your failures, your fears, or the weight you’ve been carrying.

It stands with you right here.
Right now.

Whether you arrive steady or shaken.
Confident or questioning.
Holding it together or quietly coming apart.

There’s no expectation.
No mask required.
No need to be anything other than real.

With a horse, time softens.
The past loosens its grip.
Breath comes easier.

Not because life suddenly changes…
but because in that space, you are seen without judgment.

And sometimes that’s the beginning of healing.

This is Max. 🐴

Max lays down a lot. 🛌

Max lays down for long durations of time. ⏰

Max is fine. ✅

I promise. 🤞

It’s one of his favorite things to do especially on a warm day. ☀️

My princes and princesses are ready for our snow storm and high winds (I believe in blankets, specially for my hard keepers, you won’t change my mind 😊) these are my personal horses. I’m happy to do whatever boarders want for their horses. ☺️ i believe in extra forage for the as well not just blankets.

Rasta my red roan, it’s only his second time wearing a blanket and he did such a good job! Everyone else comes to me when they see their blankets in my hands. Denahi since I’ve owned him has been a we**ie when it comes to the cold.. he shivers!! 🥶 Luna never grows a winter coat.. Dodger is just spoiled 😍 max is old and becoming a hard keeper and Nic and red are 30 years old and also have become hard keepers, so I’ve worked very hard to get their weight back up, so they get blanket. Peaches refuses to stand in the barn when it rains or snows and the she shivers… so a weather proof blanket for her.

All horses are spoiled here 🥰😆

Send some extra love to our boy Max. As we grieve badger, so is max. Max lost his best friend: Max was able to see Badger and grieve over him before Badger was buried to help Max understand. 🩶🤍🪽

Saying goodbye to a friend, gentleman, babysitter of all humans in a week, and the horse that helped build my business has my heart aching, but I know it’s the right thing to do going into winter. He deserves to run free, pain free.

Badger love 🩵

If anyone wants to come say goodbye they can. I know he touched a lot of hearts. I will not be having visitors the day before and the day of his euthanasia as I will be spending my time with him and processing, grieving.

Thank you all for understanding.
