Riding

Interested in a GREAT OPPORTUNITY?

Would you love the opportunity to have a horse of your own to love, play with, ride, etc

without the FULL responsibility of ownership?

We have several horses available at this time for LEASE options.

Caleb – 7 yo registered AQHA (Quarter Horse)/Appendix

15.2hh bay gelding
trained as a barrel racer
beautiful mover
goes english/western
loads in trailer without hesitation, stands for farrier, longes beautifully
good, strong barefoot feet
loves to trail ride, very brave and sure-footed
good for an intermediate-advanced rider, or a beginner rider in a lesson program

Dylan – 17 yo Appendix

16.3 hh, big beautiful bay gelding
so kind-hearted
goes english or western
sired by Grand-Prix jumper

Due to an old tendon injury, Dylan can no longer jump but is well-suited to an intermediate rider who would enjoy having a big boy to love on. … Continue Reading

Farms aren’t JUST for ponies…

I mean really, what’s the point of having a big, giant farm if you don’t fill it up with at least 1 of every single species of animal on the planet?

LOL, but seriously. I think that may be Brandon’s evil plan… (I can hear him “muhahaha-ing”)

When it was just me, I was totally OK with a farm full of ponies and 1 perfect dog, my beloved Grayce (my blog!… Continue Reading

My apologies in advance if this post offends anyone… but my experience in the horse world AND the science world is that us horse-gals and guys have pretty much seen the worst of the worst, and so for the sake of knowledge – read on.… Continue Reading

Welcome “Tucker” and “Lily” to the Green Barn!

A few weeks ago we welcomed FOUR new faces to the Green Barn the SAME day…

[2 pony faces + 2 people faces = 4 new faces!]

“Tucker,” a sweeter-than-is-right 4 year old OTT gelding whose talent is obvious to all who meet him, and “Lily” a just LOVELY 6 year old Welsh/draft cross who looks like she’s floating on a cloud as she extends in her trot across the flat; and their owners – Lauren and Becca! … Continue Reading

What the heck is hacking out?

I love this phrase… but even more, I love this explanation from the Literary Horse…

“I find there are usually two responses to this phrase, depending on the frame of mind of the rider who says it. If said pleasantly after a nice ride: I’m going to hack out my horse tomorrow, the listener is most likely to be puzzled, if a bit anxious.… Continue Reading
