THANK YOU, Scott Campagna & BJC RENTALS! ❤️
We truly cannot thank Scott and BJC Rentals enough for the incredible kindness and generosity they have shown Hayden Acres and Major's Brigade
After the flooding, Scott donated his time, materials, equipment, and expertise to help us rebuild and better protect our property. He moved dirt and built up the area where the water had previously broken through, creating a retaining barrier before the next major storm arrived.
When that heavy rain came again, it worked. The area that had previously flooded held — and because of the work Scott put in, we were spared from going through it all over again.
There is something incredibly special about people who see a need and choose to help simply because they care. Scott gave us more than equipment and materials — he gave us his time, hard work, knowledge, and peace of mind.
We are incredibly grateful for you, Scott. Thank you for caring about our farm, our animals, our programs, and the people we serve. Your kindness made a very real difference, and we won’t forget it. ❤️
PLEASE SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT THEIR COMMUNITY!
If you need skid steers, water trucks, excavators, or equipment rentals, please consider BJC Rentals.

🌳 A HUGE THANK YOU to Taylor Graham with T's Tree Service and Firewood
After the flooding we experienced at Hayden Acres, we were left with quite the mess and a lot of work ahead of us to get the property back in shape. Taylor stepped up when we truly needed it and generously donated dirt, mulch, his time, and a whole lot of kindness to help Hayden Acres and Majors Brigade recover.
Acts of kindness like this mean more than people realize. When you’re already overwhelmed trying to care for animals, clean up damage, and get things functioning again, having someone simply say, “How can I help?” makes an incredible difference. ❤️
We are so grateful for Taylor and his willingness to support our farm, our animals, and the programs we provide to our community.

🐴 LESSON UPDATE 🐴

Just a friendly reminder that all riding lessons remain canceled through at least Monday due to the flooding and conditions around the property.

Cancellation notices were sent Wednesday evening, but we’ve been informed that some families may not have received them, so we wanted to make sure everyone saw the update.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we continue working hard to keep all of our animals safe, dry, and comfortable while cleaning up the mess left behind. ❤️

We’ll keep everyone updated as conditions improve. Thank you for understanding!

Well… that was a HECK of a storm! 😳🌧️

We absolutely needed the rain, but man… couldn’t it have come a little more politely instead of ALL AT ONCE?! 😂

The poor animals are definitely the ones who suffer the most when everything turns into one giant muddy mess. 🐴🐐🐷🐔 We’ve moved everyone to what little dry ground we have left, made sure they’re safe and as comfortable as possible, and now we’re just looking around thinking…

Holy cow. What. A. MESS. 🤦‍♀️😂

We’re grateful for the water… but Mother Nature, next time maybe try the slow-and-steady setting. 🌧️🤣

Due to the flooding, ALL lessons are canceled the remainder of the week. We are hoping we can open back up on Monday, but we will keep everyone updated.

☀️🐴 A little late but Week 4 of Summer Camp was a so much fun ... and what an incredible way to wrap up an unforgettable summer! ❤️

Four weeks. Countless laughs. New friendships. So many animal snuggles, horse rides, adventures, and memories that will stay with us for a long time.

This week was the perfect ending to an amazing summer filled with smiling faces, muddy boots, happy hearts, and kids who weren't afraid to put down the screens and enjoy the simple joys of the outdoors. From caring for horses and loving on all of our farm animals to playing games, exploring the farm, and creating memories together—it was everything summer should be. 🌵🐴

To every camper who joined us... thank you for bringing your kindness, curiosity, laughter, and adventurous spirit. Watching friendships grow, confidence blossom, and kids discover new things about themselves has been the greatest reward.

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing staff, volunteers, and families for making this summer such a success. We couldn't do it without you! ❤️ And thank you to SnowieTown AZ for helping keep everyone cool with delicious sno cones and fresh lemonade! 🍧🍋

As we close out Summer Camp 2026, our hearts are so full. Thank you for trusting us with your kiddos and allowing us to be a small part of their summer memories.

Until next time... keep exploring, keep learning, keep loving animals, and never stop making memories. We already can't wait for next camp- keep an eye out for Fall Camps! 🤠🐄🐐🐓🐴💚
