As always, another AMAZING program with Josh Lyons and the Lyons Legacy team!

It is truly an honor to serve as the Colorado campus and to work alongside Josh, his family, staff, and such an incredible group of talented, hardworking students. Every program brings together wonderful people who share a passion for horses, learning, and personal growth, and this one was no exception.

We are grateful for the opportunity to host these programs and watch students grow in their horsemanship, confidence, and skills each day. Thank you to everyone who made this another unforgettable experience!

Today was only day two of our 2026 Certification Program, and every single unbroke was saddled today!

We cannot wait to continue updating you all as this amazing group continues to progress through the month🤩

A huge shout out to the amazing facility Diamond J Equestrian Center and Jessica Alt for all you guys do!

As we get closer to welcoming our 2026 Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy Certification Program students, we wanted to give everyone a heads up that our indoor arena will have modified availability throughout the month of June while classes are in session.

If you are interested in using the indoor arena during June, please send us a message to check availability and schedule your arena time in advance. This will help us keep things organized and ensure everyone has an opportunity to plan accordingly.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility as we host another amazing group of future horsemen and horsewomen and continue growing opportunities here at Diamond J!

Thank you,
Diamond J Management Team 🤠

🇺🇸 Happy Memorial Day from Diamond J Equestrian Center 🇺🇸

Today we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Memorial Day is more than a long weekend — it is a day to reflect on the courage, selflessness, and dedication of those who gave everything so we could enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted.

As we spend time with family, friends, and our horses, we’re reminded that freedom comes at a cost that many families know all too well. We remember the heroes who never made it home and hold close the loved ones who continue to carry their memory forward.

From all of us at Diamond J, thank you to those who served, to the families who sacrificed, and to the fallen heroes whose legacy lives on through the freedoms we enjoy every day.

May we never forget. ❤️🤍💙🐴

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing horse moms, barn moms, dog moms, human moms, and the women out there somehow keeping everyone alive despite the chaos 😅🤎

Around here at Diamond J, we know moms are the real horsepower behind the operation. They’re the early mornings, the late nights, the emergency snack providers, the unpaid photographers at horse shows, the “I’ll just hold your horse for a second” volunteers, and the reason half of us made it this far in life with at least some common sense 😉🐴

To the all of the Mommas who worked way too hard for us not to be great… we see you, we appreciate you, and we probably owe you a nap, coffee, and a trailer full of thank-you cards.

Wishing all the incredible moms out there a day filled with love, laughter, horses, and hopefully nobody asking where their boots are every five minutes 💐✨

💀💀💀 The accuracy is actually offensive…

“She said she was going to the barn real quick and told me to wait here…”

Meanwhile at Diamond J Equestrian Center:
• “Quick ride” turns into 2 hours
• “I’ll just check on my horse” turns into a full grooming session
• You somehow get recruited to help a friend clean out their tack room
• And now you’re holding a lead rope wondering how your life got here 🤡🐴

At this point, if someone says “real quick” at the barn… just pack snacks and emotionally prepare.

✨ Diamond J: where “real quick” is a lifestyle, not a timeframe ✨

Tag the person who left you waiting 😂👇

🐎✨ It’s Derby season… and we had to jump on this one 😏

Your Kentucky Derby Horse Name is:
👉 FIRST WORD: Your current mood
👉 SECOND WORD: The last thing you spent money on

We’ll go first…
“Happy HayBale” or “Caffeinated GrainRun” feels a little too accurate around here lately 💀😂
