“I wished for a horse that would make me feel safe in the saddle. And instead, I got a horse that taught me how to be brave.

I asked for a horse that would build my confidence. And instead, I got one that taught me to believe in myself.

I wished for a horse that would take away my anxiety. And instead, I got one that taught me how to ride through it.

I wanted a horse that would give me the perfect rides. And instead, I got a horse that taught me the strength in the imperfection.

I wished for a horse that would bring me peace. And I got a horse who only settled when my heart did.

I wished for a horse that would help me reach my dreams. And instead, I got a horse that taught me to rise. ”

Sharing a little update and a lot of love!

Our entire crew is enjoying a quiet morning at R4L Ranch We have a few temporary guests and some chore helpers too. We are well and oh so grateful!

Our new little facility at Rooted Stone Acres is still very much intact and waiting for us to return when it's safe. Our hearts are with the crews working this emergency, so many of our friends and colleagues who have lost so much, and those who are not out of the woods yet. (Our trucks are not unhooking from trailers anytime soon y'all!)

And a shout out to our friends at Bobtail Ranch who's updates and vigilance is much appreciated!

Oh... and Max says hello!

💔 we are pained to hear about some of the emergencies our neighbours are experiencing. Our entire crew of lesson horses (affectionately called the 'gelding gang') made it back to R4L Ranch in Oliver this evening with a bit of help from our friends. We thought we might have been a little premature making that move this evening but as it turns out, it was a good call. We were stunned to see how quickly the fire had taken off when we pulled up to Rooted Stone Acres to load up the first trip.

Stay safe everyone. You're all in our hearts 💕
