Copper Crest is seeking a 4x4 farm truck. Does not have to be esthetically pleasing, but must run and drive in the field. Needs to fire up everytime. Full size or smaller. 5sp or auto ok and 4x4 must work. Call Ms Pam 276 228 5817. Prefer something close to Wytheville. Budget 2k with a little wiggle room.

I wanted to share a few images from the lovely Veterans Appreciation Day that happened at Copper Crest Riding Therapy and Copper Crest Farm yesterday. Photo credits to Cheryl Payton Bess. We had several branches of the service represented and so many people gathered to share their love for horses. Many people and agencies came together to donate food and drinks. We couldn't have done it with out them or all our wonderful volunteers. Please enjoy these photos. Thank you all for your Service.

Attn: Adult beginner to advanced riders. Also those who may have a fear of horses they need or want to conquer. This message is for you.
With the kiddos headed back to school Copper Crest should have some day time openings in our schedule. Right now we teach Tuesday through Thursday from noon until 7:00. The last lesson begins at 6. However the school kiddos fill most of the 4 until 6 lessons after they head back.
With that being stated if you have an interest in riding lessons, volunteering, or The Equine Therapy program give us a call. Our goal is to turn out independent equestrians who can catch a horse, groom, saddle, and bridle on their own. We do not enjoy those whom just want to be passengers. We can teach you basic horse care to advanced maneuvers. Ms. Pam Owner and Instructor, and Ms. Kelly Assistant Instructor have over a century of horse experience between them.
We specialize in the Saddle Seat discipline and strive to perfect the riders form, and Harmony with the horse. We do teach a bit of Western and Hunt seat. We also do a bit to a lot of ba****ck work depending on what the rider needs. We ride through the seat of our pants. We explain gaits, leads, and lateral signals.
We no longer travel to shows, but we can get you ready to show offer you a tune up or make a farm call. Ms.Pam also has an amazing background and experience in horse behavior and training. She can assist with harness fitting and cart recommendations.
We are looking to switch up the late Summer and Fall season and to work with more adults. For info or scheduling call

Hey folks lessons are in full swing if it's over 40F. Mother Nature seems to be in a mood. If you haven't picked a lesson time, you need to get scheduled. PRIVATE or group lessons. As you consider this I would like you to read the quote on the picture I am posting. We want to turn out horsemen and horsewomen of the future...... not just passengers. Riding is an art, but you need to learn horse behavior and care.
