We're getting excited for our first Jumping and Dressage schooling show tomorrow! We have water on the arena too thanks to lending us his 1000gallon water trailer for the weekend! Ours might be up and running too with many thanks to another handy man connection! Speaking of connections, if you have a Food Truck or Coffee send a message over! We would love to have you!

Outdoor just got dragged and is feeling good! If you don't mind a little rain, come out and ride! Track has a fresh drag too! The Indoor is getting a hand watering right after I grab my coffee and will be open for riding this afternoon from 1pm-4:30pm/7:30pm-10pm this evening!

Lestat and Savannah are expecting! Savannah is a wonderful mare owned by a friend of mine in Oregon. I met her through my trainer and I have had the pleasure of getting to know her and her mare these last couple years. This is going to be a sporty, flashy, and very loved foal! The vet says it's looking like a filly! For 2027! How exciting!

Plenty people have asked about our current expecting mama's. We have 3 due at the end of summer! Stay turned for those announcements! And yes, we will be doing mare-ternity shoots!

UPDATE: We have ideas, some parts to check out and some insight to the gears on the water truck! For now, I'm pricing some temporary water truck solutions.

Alrighty, calling all handy dads!
I need water trailer and water truck help! The water truck is running but it won't pressurize to push water. I called a couple recommendations and have come up empty.
As a back up to the water truck i purchased a used water trailer. I was told it needed a solenoid cap and spray nozzles but otherwise runs fine. It works, it pushes water but without the cap it just pushes out that one part. I don't know what cap I need and the nozzles I bought don't fit. I have no clue what I am doing.
It is dusty, it's hot, and I want to water the arenas efficiently. If you know how to help please reach out. If you know someone who can help, please send them my way. I am not a mechanic and I have zero clue when it comes to anything like this. I never thought I would be happy to see rain on the forecast but really, other than hand watering (4th time today), that is the only thing providing moisture to these arenas right now.
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! Just a reminder Whether it's the arena, the wash rack, or the trailer parking area, please help keep our shared spaces tidy by picking up after your horses! It’s a bit of a juggling act to drag the arena when I’m hopping off every few minutes to scoop up those road apples! Thanks for pitching in and keeping our barn a great place for everyone.

All you car buffs this is for you!
Can we move it and make it a center piece on the drive in or are the trees providing necessary protection from the elements? Thoughts? Ideas? Lemme know!
