Another great horse show at Silver Heels Riding Club in Fremont, NH. Still a bit chilly but we had a few awesome rides! This was Ana and Leo’s first time doing Command which is like ‘Simon Says’ and Egg and Spoon (which I had to lead Leo and jog for, Read more…
This past weekend, in addition to being Ana and Leo’s first show it was also Jada’s first real outing. She’s been trailered to other barns to ride and to trail rides but she has never seen this many horses or commotion in one place. She was definitely amped up and Read more…
Ana started riding with us in September last year and prior to that had never been on a horse. Well she’s definitely put in the saddle time and a TON of practice and it has clearly paid off. Her first show EVER was yesterday and she rocked it! She took Read more…
YAAASSSSSS- Spring IS on it’s way! The arena is looking fabulous, we’re even starting to bring the jumps, cavalettis and poles out for the year! Now we need it to warm up a bit and for the grass to turn green. Take a look at these clips- the two red Read more…
There might still be snow and there might be some puddles…. But I have to say, this arena is looking pretty dang good for mid March! Hopefully by the end of April all of the snow will be gone and this arena will be FULLY dried out. Until then it’s Read more…

We’re very excited to add another horse to our herd! Here’s Lilly, a 19 year old buckskin Quarter Horse cross. Lilly was days away from heading to a less than reputable dealer (and potentially up to Canada for slaughter) but she is much too nice of a horse! Lilly is Read more…
What better way to ring in the new year than with a fresh new aisle?! I’ve been counting down the days for this upgrade. Now, wherever you cross-tie your creature- boom- mats. Horses are getting a trim? Boom- mats. Should I sweep the aisle? Nah… Now I can use the Read more…
Skipper joined us about halfway through 2018. When he first arrived I was not expecting to see a ribby-hip-protruding-zero-topline guy walk off the trailer. We immediately put together a plan to slowly and steadily get weight on Skipper, especially before winter hits (and we all know that gives us until Read more…
Much like Leo I’ve always loved winter. Coming into December has always brought beautiful snows which means skiing and snowshoeing; it means hot cocoa and mulled wine. The break from the hot summer days is also a warm welcome. Well, a cool welcome I suppose. The only part of winter Read more…
