Still smiling from ear to ear after our first time at the Aaronsburg Dutch Fall Festival (and our horses’ tummies are still full from all the treats they received)! 🍂

To the incredible festival crew: THANK YOU for having us for the very first time. Putting together an event like this takes a mountain of work, and everything ran so smoothly. To everyone who showed up, wandered over, and spent part of your day hanging out with us and our equine crew, THANK YOU. We had an absolute blast, shared so many laughs, and truly enjoyed every single second of being part of this wonderful community gathering. We’re thankful to call this lovely community home!💕

Days like this remind us why we do what we do, sharing our passion and watching people light up around our herd is pure magic. Though, we have to laugh, all weekend long, parents would gently prompt their kids to 'say thank you,' and about 75% of the time, the kids would look right past us, walk up to the horse, and thank them instead. Honestly? We can’t blame them. The horses carried the team, did all the heavy lifting, and let’s be real, they are infinitely cuter than we are anyway! Casper, McCabe, Big John, Banjo, Copper, and Charm (the white horse used in the blacksmithing demo) all enjoyed the endless love and compassion from everyone who stopped by!

Thank you all for an amazing first year. Until next time!

People always ask us what the horses are like... they’re basically just giant dogs! Here’s scientific proof that our horses are just golden retrievers in 1,000-pound suits trying (and failing) to attack the hose water.

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION BELOW 🚨🚨

We were sworn to secrecy, but the truth can no longer be contained. The rumors are true. The pasture has been infiltrated.

Mission Status: Compromised, because we couldn't keep this a secret another second. Operation "Welcome the New Kids" is officially underway!

Target profiles acquired: Meet Calypso (formerly known as Lady) and Doc (formerly known as Storm), the two newest operatives to join our trail herd. Calypso is a black and white Tennessee walking horse mare and Doc is a chocolate palomino Rocky Mountain x Tennessee walking horse gelding! Their objectives? Calypso is busy plotting her reign over the pasture, and Doc is busy demonstrating how to sleep standing up like a true professional.

Safe to say, they fit right in. We can’t wait for you to meet them soon.
Drop a "Welcome" in the comments! We made the brilliant, completely legally binding decision to promise them a treat for every single comment. Please have mercy on our bank account and our feed bill, but definitely say hi to Calypso and Doc!

Your smartwatch wants you to log 10,000 steps. Your soul wants to sit on a horse and eat trail mix. 🤠
