Watching Betty, aka Granny B, doing what she loves at the TWHNC! ❤️🐎🏅

Do you remember Dewey from the sale this spring? Sometimes, we just gotta hang on to one a little longer! 😘

So much goes into the makings of a 4J horse.

We’re not in the business of getting a horse today and trying to sell him tomorrow. We like to take our time, put some miles under him, introduce him to different situations, and learn how he handles them before we ever offer him to the public.

After our March sale, we usually have only a handful of horses left. Many of those horses simply need one thing.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

So that’s what they get.

We’ve been busy this summer putting miles and manners on some really nice horses. They’ve been getting out of the barn and onto the trails, around camp, and into situations that teach them to think, pay attention, and trust their rider.

This is the behind the scenes part of making a good trail horse that you don’t always get to see.
So we thought we’d take you along and give you a little insight into 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 4-𝗝 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲.

🔸️The miles.
🔸️The training.
🔸️The experiences.
🔸️The good days and the days when a horse tells us he needs a little more time.

Because when we finally put a 4J horse up for sale, we want to know more about him than whether he can carry a rider down the trail.

𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲.

Follow along as we show you what goes into making a 4J horse.

Sometimes one picture says it all... a smile, a white horse, a splash in the river, and a little bit of rainbow magic. 🌈🐴💦

This is what I love about photographing the Piney. It's not just about taking pictures of horses, it's about capturing the smiles, friendships, families, and little moments that become memories.

And after a LOT of editing… 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫𝒀! 📸🎉

𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒔. There are lots of Piney memories waiting to be found!

💛 Photos are available on a pay-what-you-can basis. I want to continue to do this for everyone, so every little bit helps!

Need a break? We know just the place!

Trade traffic for gravel roads. Trade screens for campfires. Trade the daily grind for the sound of horses, laughter, and the Big Piney River.

Our week-long horse camp starts Saturday, and the forecast couldn't be better! Cooler mornings for riding scenic Ozark trails, warm afternoons floating, kayaking, swimming, or simply relaxing by the river, and evenings filled with home-cooked meals, music, and stories around camp.

Don't have a horse? That's okay. You don't even have to ride to enjoy a week at camp. Bring the family, your kayak, your fishing pole, or just a lawn chair and come experience one of the prettiest places in the Ozarks. 🥰

Whether you're riding through the hills, watching horses splash through the river, or ending the day under a sky full of stars, you'll leave with memories that last long after the week is over.

Your vacation is closer than you think!

📅 Camp starts Saturday. Pack your boots... or your flip-flops. We'd love to welcome you to the Piney. 🤠🌲🏕️

River Life!

☀️ Looking for a getaway?

Our next camp starts Saturday, and you don't have to own a horse to enjoy it!

Spend your mornings riding scenic Ozark trails, paddle or float the beautiful Big Piney River in the afternoon, or simply relax around camp and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. As the sun goes down, gather with friends and family for great food, music, and nightly entertainment.

Whether you come for the horses, the river, or just to unplug for a few days, you'll find a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere and plenty of memories waiting to be made.

Bring your horse, bring your kayak, or just bring your lawn chair. We'd love to have you join us! 🌲🐴🛶
