Has an animal, team member, volunteer, rider, or barn friend ever brightened your day? Maybe someone encouraged your child, made you laugh, helped during a tough moment, or created a memory you’ll never forget.

We’re creating a “You Made My Day” kindness board at the barn where riders, parents, staff, and volunteers can leave notes and happy memories for one another and we’d love for YOU to be part of it!

Drop your stories, thank yous, funny moments, or happy memories in the comments below or send us a message, and we’ll add them to our posterboard around the barn for everyone to enjoy 💌

Your kind words might make someone’s whole day!

Arizona update for the fans 🤍

For everyone who asks about our girl Arizona - she officially retired at Laura's personal farm where she spends her days exactly how a queen should. Roaming with her 3 retired horse friends - grazing on endless grass, exploring the woods, relaxing in the big barn, and cooling off in the pond and creek on hot summer days. Safe to say, she is living the dream.

Many of you know Arizona was always one of my personal favorites and a horse I shared a very special bond with. She had a BIG personality, plenty of opinions, and could definitely keep you on your toes… but the kids who loved her, really loved her. She had a way of picking “her people,” and those connections were unforgettable.

And of course, no one could forget her famous party trick - her giant “smile” whenever treats were involved 😄

We are so happy to see her enjoying the peaceful, happy retirement she deserves!

Behind every lesson, every chore, every muddy boot, and every happy rider is a team of hardworking women who show up for each other and this farm every single day. Farm life isn’t always easy, but this crew proves that teamwork, grit, laughter, and a little dirt can accomplish amazing things.

Farm strong & proud of it. 💪🐴
