Come hang out with us this weekend! This is the second working equitation clinic that weve had at the barn this year and its going to be a blast! Reach out to Angie McClelland to get added to the rider or auditor list!

We are having an introductory clinic for Working Equitation this Saturday, June 27 :) If you are interested in learning more about this new discipline and working through some obstacles, come join us! See below for more information and contact me to reserve a spot!

Join us for an Introduction to Working Equitation Clinic! Our clinician is Kristine Strasburger, of Lexington, NE. Kristine is a Technical Delegate for licensed Working Equitation shows. She will present information about WE shows and the different phases of competition. She will also work through the obstacles with small groups of riders. This is an all-day event, $100 per horse/rider pair. Auditing is free. :)

Happy father's day to the barn dads.
The ones who haul tack around in their cars. Who know the names of all the brown horses in the barn and can tell the difference between them. Who pull the trailers, load the hay, and pay for lessons. The ones who help braid manes and remember where the pony club arm bands are. You are involved, enthusiastic, and help everyone's kids get ready, stay focused, and be brave when they are scared. You know the right kind of horse treats to get, when its a spicy day and the horse definitely needs lunged, and also how important it is to match your saddle pad and leg wraps. We see you investing in not only your kids but also the other kids at the barn. There is something exceedingly special and very much appreciated about a barn dad. Ive also personally benefitted from brainstorming with and sometimes being talked off a ledge by your support and graciously shared wisdom. We see you, we appreciate you, we are so glad youre here. Happy Fathers Day!

Any other horse haulers out there have this playing in their truck? 😆😆😆

Its amazing how many of the songs I remembered from 25 years ago. Haha!

2026 hay in the barn got us all like
💃💃💃

So thankful for a husband who spends his whole summer making sure we are taken care of! There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes to put up quality hay and make sure that people dont run out so be sure to appreciate whoever keeps your barn full. Especially in a drought year like this year. Send them a text today thanking them for feeding your horse. Seriously, it would absolutely make their day 🩷

Early morning in Iowa 🌅
Love a freshly power washed trailer 😍

Well aren't these handy dandy!
A huge thank you to our main man eric for installing controllers to automatically turn on and off the barn fans everyday! Its a small behind the scenes thing but it makes a big difference!

Love these girls and love to see them having so much fun together ❤️

We got our power shut off last night but I paid the bill so they came back and turned it on!

Lol. Jk! So thankful to have Norris Public Power come out and get a new pole put in when this pole was actively falling over on the farm yesterday. These power lines go thru and in front of 3 of our turn out areas so its really nice when people take things seriously and help you when you really need it 🩷
