Sweet Zuri
From where she lounges in her shelter, Zuri hears the rattle of the gate chain as it un-clips to let you in. She greets you with a nicker, perhaps wondering if you’ve brought her a mash, or a flake of hay, or a hand capable of a scratch on the neck. Zuri is like one…

Week in Review: October 7 — 11
What happened last week? A lot, as per usual. Theo got on his first pair of shoes, and a whole bunch of other horses had their hooves trimmed as well. We had the last of our pop-up tack sales, and the minis went to not one but two events! Many horses got their usual…

Moshi is coming along well under saddle, and is ready for her forever home. She is a forward ride, and still needs a good amount of support, so needs a rider with some experience with green horses. She sure is a cute pony!

Edward over Cavalettis
In the new year, Edward has made it his resolution to try new things. including popping over a few cavalettis under saddle. We think Edward looks quite striking in english tack, and he certainly doesn’t seem to have anything bad to say about it. Edward is just…
One Smart Mare: Bandit
Bandit may be on the older side, but her mind is sharp as a tack. A recent anecdote to prove such as true: One of the last times I (Lily) haltered Bandit, it was to hold her for the veterinarian. This was already a demerit against my character, but made even worse…

There are many reasons to love Mirana, and here Meghan talks about a few of them.
Free Forever, Autumn
We are deeply saddened to share the news that Autumn has passed away following a tragic accident in which she suffered a broken leg due to a kick. While such incidents are rare, they are an unfortunate risk when horses are turned out in herds. The team at Freedom…
