Despite our house fire, we will still be running the Tim Bourke clinic on May 16th and 17th. Entries have stopped coming in, likely due to that. If you’re interested in participating, please get the entries in so we know if we’ll have enough riders to run it! Contact Kristy at [email protected] for the registration form.

Pleased to announce the birth of our first foal of the season, born this morning. A strong and sassy filly out of KC’s Chloe and by our stallion, Dartangion. Both mom and baby are doing well. As you can see, the filly is very happy to be here.

We must share the sad news of the passing of one of our great friends and supporters. Natalia Zunino passed away on December 24, 2025. We have been waiting to make a post in the hopes that there may also be an obituary to share, but it doesn’t look like there will be a public notice.

We met Natalia in 2004 when we started working at a farm in Sharon, CT, where Natalia kept her horse, Phoenix. It was a rocky start for us at that farm, and as we settled in, Natalia proved to be a quiet and steady support for us. This support held true for our entire 21 year relationship. We forged not just a great working rapport with Natalia, but that blossomed into a long lasting friendship.

Natalia was a force of nature. She was incredibly intelligent and successful as a psychologist. She was small in stature but strong in spirit and will. She had a quiet way about her, but a stubborn streak a mile long. Natalia knew what she wanted. Her sense of humor was unexpected and fantastic. If we close our eyes, we can still hear her laugh. And what a firecracker she was. No jump was big enough, no gallop was fast enough. Natalia loved her horse fiercely.

In more recent years, after Natalia suffered some health complications that made riding Phoenix impossible, she asked us to take him. We considered that a compliment of the highest regard, that she would entrust Phoenix’s wellbeing and future to us. We gladly accepted, and we kept Phoenix until his death in February of 2023.

Many of you may remember when we brought Phoenix to see Natalia at her assisted living facility in 2022. It is one of our fondest and happiest memories. To see both Natalia and Phoenix recognize each other and connect that day is something we will never forget.

We are certain that Phoenix was waiting for Natalia when she passed, and have absolutely no doubt that the two of them are tearing around Heaven at obscene speeds, with Phoenix’s ears pricked and Natalia’s laughter echoing.

💐❤️ Natalia Zunino ❤️💐

Rest In Peace, our kind and caring friend.

Kinnitty Capall Stables is excited to be the first barn ever to offer a new and exciting winter equestrian sport: Equuice Skating!

We have joined together with our wonderful farrier (who for some reason asked not to be named in this post) to create the world’s first horseshoe ice skates. These ice skates will be attached to the hoof just like a regular horseshoe, permanently on for 6-8 weeks at a time. It removes all necessity for snow pads and studs. It also eliminates any risk to the horses when there is an ice event, as they can just skate to and through their fields.

This is perfect for people without an indoor arena, as you can Equuice Skate your horses in all conditions, except on thawed ground. And uneven ground. And uphill settings. And downhill settings. But besides that, it is perfect.

We have just set up our outdoor arena to accommodate this new sport. As you can see from the photo of the arena, our black gorilla jump fillers tried the sport but failed. The horses do much better on the narrow blades and on their spindly legs than the gorillas, trust us. We even have our own unique Zamboni to treat the arena daily - we drizzle gravy all over the ice every morning and the dogs lick it smooth.

We are offering boarding to those who would like to use Kinnitty Capall Stables as their base for Equuice Skating. After speaking to our insurance agent, and having our insurance jump by approximately 600%, we are offering this unique opportunity for a mere $6,750 per month. This includes one lesson a month!

Training is also available to teach your horses the finer points of gliding, turning, and stopping. Once your horse can stay on its feet, you’ll be ready to climb aboard and have the experience of a lifetime!

Equuice Skates are also available to purchase, and are only available through us.

Don’t wait, our stalls are going to fill up fast. And stay on the lookout: this sport is sure to hit the Olympic venue in only a few short years! Come try out Equuice Skating at Kinnitty Capall Stables!
