‘Hot Backroad Fantasy’ (Jada) is a 2014 registered AQHA/APHA mare. She enjoys lots of neck/head/ear scratches and being loved on! Jada is quite the character and is always looking for attention- if you ignore her she’s sure to grab something within her reach and carry it around or throw in Read more…
‘All The Class’ (Leo) is a 2004 registered AQHA. He joined our family as a coming 2 year old and had quite the successful show career with NYSSHA in both western pleasure and hunter under saddle events. He then went to college and joined the IHSA where he gave lessons Read more…
Winter Storm Harper didn’t quite deliver the 20″ they were predicting but we did get a bit over a foot! The horses were very excited to have some fresh powder to roll in and make snow horses (Snow Pegasuses? What’s the horse equivalent to snow angels?). We even took advantage 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.

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…
Wow. I’m not sure what we got ourselves into but once it’s done it’s going to be INCREDIBLE. The indoor arena was ordered back in July and we pushed it to the back of our minds until I got a call to schedule delivery. Holy crap, it’s actually happening. When Read more…
Winter has ALWAYS been Leo’s favorite! We finally got about half a foot and he was beyond excited. The first thing he needs to do when he goes outside is to find the perfect spot to roll. Seriously, does anything beat a good roll in fresh snow? Leo doesn’t think Read more…
As the temperatures drop Jada’s feral-ocity (I don’t think that’s a word) increases. A lot. That girl is cray. With the colder weather I’ve been needing to lunge her before every ride. She’s turning into one of those horses who LOVES to be blanketed- she basically crawls in to them Read more…
