Willow’s first time driving outside of the roundpen!

She’s gotten super brave and curious, wanting to investigate the things that catch her eye when leading. Driving pushes her to be more independently brave in a way that resembles having a rider. You can see her go wide around a tarp that she typically sniffs and walks over when leading. This lets me know she has confidence in me, but is still gaining some more self-confidence.

Overall she did incredible, but we still have a few more sessions needed before swinging a leg over. I really like her sensible brain and honesty!

We’re getting very excited for several new horses arriving this weekend and our Apprenticeship Program beginning next week!

⭐️Internship Opportunity⭐️

Seeking an intern primarily for videoing training sessions, but may have occasional odd jobs around the farm such as picking stalls (horses are rarely stalled) or cleaning some tack with me.

This is not a paid or riding position, but you will have the opportunity to sit in on training sessions with a variety of horses, including Mustangs and c**t starting. Lessons are available in exchange, and discounts on some events and programs are available as well.

Ideally looking for 1-2 days per week, the days are flexible except Thursdays. Thursdays are already too jam packed here! No prior horse experience is necessary, but a good attitude is a must.

Located in Limestone, TN. Send a message on Facebook or text (304) 531-3422.

Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all those who have served, and we pray for the families who have lost loved ones. We are forever grateful for the soldiers who have laid down their lives for our freedom.

If you are or know of a veteran who would benefit from a breath of fresh air and a peaceful moment with horses, we are offering free horsemanship lessons to any veterans this week only.

Contact us for more information and to schedule a Veteran lesson.

What age of horse do we typically work with? Just about all ages! This little filly has started learning how to ground tie during grooming and hoof cleaning, which is one of the first steps in eventually learning to hard tie.

Any age can learn proper handling and ground manners, such as being able to lead, load, stand tied, pick up all four hooves nicely, and stand for veterinary care.

We also recommend waiting until the growth plates in your horse’s legs close, ensure they have good muscling, and make sure their backs are sturdy prior to starting a young horse under saddle. Horses continue to grow until an average of 8 years old, with larger, draft-type breeds typically taking longer. This is why you won’t see us on Blossom until next year. Even though she is 3 now, we want her to grow and fill out a bit more to minimize risks of injury and improve longevity. This doesn’t mean not to work young horses, but to be considerate in how the work your doing may affect their growing bodies.

If you have a youngster that needs worked with, even if you aren’t ready to start them under saddle yet, contact us! We are more than happy to build a good foundation that will help strengthen their bodies, prepare them for their future under saddle, and make them all around good citizens.

Third field of the season! Almost all of our hay is cut and baled by us here on the farm, which amounts to several hundred mini round bales!

🎉The countdown to June has begun!🎉

The Apprenticeship Program is probably one of my favorite things to teach, so I am bursting with excitement! We’re ready to get more horses under saddle, and will be welcoming 3 new horses coming in for training and board very soon. Farm tours have started back up, we’re continuing to cut hay fields for the season, and projects are quickly getting completed. It’s a busy but fun time of year and we can’t wait to see all of the new faces and new horses we’ll be meeting!

Blossom has graduated to the big tires and is doing excellent. She is brave, calm, and a good thinker. It’s hard to believe she hasn’t even been domesticated for a year yet! She’s going to be fun in the upcoming Apprenticeship Program.

Willow has gotten much more comfortable with the surcingle and is starting ground driving. I’m proud of both of these mares and look forward to continuing to work with them before things get busy in June!

We’ve still got one training spot left for 2026, 3 upcoming clinics, and openings for haul-in and horsemanship lessons. Message us with questions for details and pricing!
