Update- we’ve confirmed 11/7 as the date! I’ll have 8 open spots, please let me know if you’d for sure like one 😀 Sessions will be 15 minutes. Likely starting at 3:30 and going until 5:30, but still confirming exact times.

🎄 Christmas Mini Sessions at the Farm? 🎄

I’m gauging interest in bringing back something we used to do every year at our old farm outside of Austin—Christmas mini family photo sessions! ❤️

These were always so much fun, and I would love to bring them back this year at our new property in Midlothian. I included a few photos from past years to give you an idea of what they looked like! Sessions would include a mix of family photos around the farm, with the option to include one of our horses as well. Open to lesson families as well as the general public 🐴

Before I officially book the photographer, I’d love to see if we have enough interest!

We would plan for a Saturday or Sunday in early November (currently looking at 11/7), with six 15-minute sessions available. Sessions would be $175 per family and would be open to both our lesson families and the public.

There’s no payment or commitment needed right now—I’d just like to have at least four families interested before I move forward with booking everything.

If this is something your family would be interested in, leave me a comment or send me a message! If we have enough interest, I’ll get a date nailed down and share all the details. 🎄❤️

🍂 The October Calendar is HERE! 🎃🐴

October is one of my favorite months at the farm — cooler mornings, happy horses, and a little relief from that Texas heat!

Our October lesson calendar is officially live! Please take a look at your rider’s dates and let me know as soon as possible if you see any conflicts or dates you’ll need to miss.

📌 A few important October dates & reminders:

💵 October tuition is due no later than October 1st!

🎃 Halloween Day Camp — October 24th.
We have ONE spot left! If your rider would like to join us for a fun fall day at the farm, snag that last spot before it’s gone! 🐴👻

🍂 Please continue to dress for the weather and bring water to lessons— Texas October likes to keep us guessing!

We have lots of fun fall-themed learning planned this month, and I’m so excited for another month with our riders. Thank you, as always, for being part of our little farm community! 🤎🐴

September 12th felt nothing like Fall- but we made the very most of our first “Fall” Day Camp of the year!! Truly sweet group of kiddos today which made hosting a camp on a Saturday feel so totally worth it! 🐴 🍂

10/09 is full, but I have a spot left in out of the Thanksgiving break camps for anyone interested! Please reach out for details.

Have a great weekend barn fam!

🐴 This Saturday- 09/12: DAY CAMP FAQ! 🐴

We can’t wait to welcome our campers to Cole Acres Farm! Here are a few reminders to help everyone come ready for a fun day at the barn!

📍 Where?
Cole Acres Farm
5271 Honeysuckle Rd, Midlothian, TX 76065

⏰ When?
8:30 AM – 1:30 PM
*Gate opens at 8:20

🎒 What should my camper bring?
• Packed lunch
• Plenty of water
• Sunscreen
• Swim clothes + towel
• Long pants & closed-toed shoes/boots for riding

🍂 Wait… wasn’t this supposed to be a FALL camp?!

That was certainly the plan! 😂 With North Texas apparently not quite ready to let go of summer, this one is going to feel a little more like an extension of our summer camps!

We’ll adjust our day around the temperatures to keep both kiddos and horses comfortable — and we’ll end our day cooling off in the pool! 💦 Please make sure campers bring swim clothes and a towel.

🐴 What will we be doing?

LOTS of horse time! Campers will ride, spend time caring for and working with the horses, and participate in hands-on horsemanship activities throughout the day.

We’ll also have a special horse hoof lesson where campers will get an up-close look at how a horse’s hoof works and then make their own playdough hoof models! 🐎

We are SO excited for another day of horses, learning, friends, and fun at the farm. See you soon, campers! 🤎

We had a GREAT first day back!!! 😀 ☀️

🐴 WELCOME BACK, COLE ACRES FAMILIES! 🤍

After our little late-summer break, we are SO excited to welcome everyone back to the farm and officially kick off our fall lesson season! Before our first riders hop back in the saddle, here are a few quick reminders + some important info about this Texas heat that apparently did not get the memo that it’s September. 🥵☀️

A few first-day reminders:

🐴 The farm gate opens 10 minutes before your scheduled lesson time. We ask that families please not arrive earlier than that — Miss Molly uses that time to get horses prepared, organized and ready for our day!

👖 All students should arrive in long pants and closed-toed shoes. Riding boots are preferable if you have them!

💧 Please, please send your rider with water! This is especially important while these temperatures are still so high.

📍 Cole Acres Farm
5271 Honeysuckle Rd
Midlothian, TX 76065

🚗 Parking

When you arrive, you will pull all the way in and park in the grass just off of the driveway. You will walk back to the red barn where Miss Molly will meet you!

☀️ A note about the heat…

Our first week back is unfortunately still looking incredibly hot. For our morning lesson families, I’ll be reaching out individually to see whether you’re able to come a little earlier than your normally scheduled time, just for this first week. Fingers crossed these temperatures break very soon!

For our afternoon riders, we don’t have much flexibility to move lesson times, so hydration will be especially important. While we’re still dealing with triple-digit temperatures, lessons may also look a little different than usual. We’ll adjust our pace, mounted time and activities as needed to protect both our kiddos and our horses. Horse welfare and rider safety will always come before checking every box on a lesson plan. 🤍

And with all of that housekeeping out of the way…

WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU! 🐴✨

The horses have enjoyed their summer break, but Miss Molly is more than ready for a barn full of kiddos again. We have such a fun fall ahead of us, and I cannot wait to see familiar faces back at the gate, welcome some brand-new ones, and watch our riders learn, grow and build confidence this season.

Here’s to another wonderful season at Cole Acres! 🤍🐴

🍂 A few fall weekend lesson spots are opening up! 🐴

I know there were several kiddos who weren’t able to snag a recurring weekly lesson spot this year, so I’m opening a handful of weekend lessons throughout September and October!

Each date will have:
🐴 9:00 AM lesson
🐴 10:00 AM lesson

I will update the post with updated availability as often as possible!

These are perfect for riders who aren’t currently on the weekly schedule, kiddos who want to squeeze in some extra barn time, or families who just can’t commit to a recurring weekday spot.

Available dates are listed in the graphic! Send me a message if you’d like to claim one (or a few!). 🤎

🎃 AND… Trick-or-Treat Day Camp is coming back October 24!

This one will be limited to just 6 kiddos and will include all the fall horse-girl goodness: dressing up our horses for Halloween, trick-or-treating on horseback, riding, crafts, and plenty of barn time. 👻🐴🍬

I’ll share full camp details and registration soon, but feel free to message me if you already know you have a kiddo who would LOVE this one!

Continuing our series leading into our 2026/2027 program…

This is me at 10 years old, with my first horse, Silver 🩶

I look at this picture now and know so much about that little girl that you can’t see in a photograph.

I was a kid who, in many ways, seemed to be born with the whole world on her shoulders. I was a chronic worrier. I thought about everything. I anticipated everything. I felt things deeply, and my brain was very good at finding things to worry about long before they ever happened.

But then there were horses.

I’ve been taught that anxiety lives mostly in the future and the past, and very rarely in the present. And horses require you to be present.

Not because they magically make everything else disappear. But because when you’re with a horse, there is a living, breathing animal in front of you asking you to pay attention to right now.

What are their ears telling you?

Did you feel that tiny shift underneath you?

Are you holding your breath?

Are you rushing?

Can you soften your hands?

Can you quiet your body enough to actually listen?

There isn’t much room left for tomorrow when you’re trying to communicate with a thousand-pound animal without words.

I don’t think I could have explained any of that at 10 years old.

I just knew that I LOVED horses, and felt like the best version of myself around them.

Looking back, though, I think I understand a little more of what they gave me.

They gave that worried little girl somewhere to put down the weight for a while.

And if I’m being honest, they still do.

Maybe that’s part of why I’m so passionate about giving kids more than riding lessons here.

Of course I want them to learn their diagonals and leads. I want them to become thoughtful riders and capable horse people. I want them to understand that caring for a horse matters every bit as much as riding one.

But I also know that every child who walks through my gate is carrying a whole little internal world with them.

Some are worriers.

Some are perfectionists.

Some are bursting with energy and have spent a lot of their lives being told to settle down.

Some are cautious. Some are fearless. Some desperately want to get everything right. Some aren’t quite sure yet where they fit.

The horse doesn’t know any of those labels.

The horse just meets the child standing in front of them.

And maybe, for an hour, that child gets to simply be there too.

Not thinking about the test tomorrow or the mistake they made yesterday.

Just brushing. Breathing. Listening. Learning. Trying again.

Being right where their feet — and four very big hooves — are.

For any of my horse friends, families, clients…if you have watched your child fall in love with horses — what do you think horses give them beyond the saddle?

The Fall season is almost here!! The horses and I have really enjoyed a break from working in the triple digit afternoon temps, but I’m missing my kiddos and ready to get back to it! 🐴

All important info for September is on the attached flyer, including tuition facts and day camp details. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
