Happy St Patty's, love from Beaner

Today we had to say goodbye to Kona. He had some strange swelling in his legs and abdomen and the vet was able to identify it as heart failure. We loved and will miss you dearly kind fellow.

Coaches lessons today! Duke overachieved.

Behind this board live 7 horses. 4 of them live in pairs. We all know the dangers of loose horses, and a pair of loose horses tend to wander even further. PLEASE shut this gate, even when you are mucking, feeding and catching horses. Thank you!

OMG YASSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Greenies are fun! Quatro is learning how to trot and canter under saddle now. Of course with help of big bro Leeo. Nice job coach Bo!

Love to hear from our riders that have moved on. This is from Hannah: "Hey it's Hannah Evans the girl that moved to California.

I wouldn't be where I was today without you thank you for everything." We miss you Hannah!
