It's finished!. Our indoor arena is officially complete, and we can't wait to share it.
This has been a huge investment in our facility and in the horses, boarder, students, and riders who make Swan River Stables what it is. We're always trying to improve, grow, and provide a welcoming place for our equestrian community.

A HUGE thank-you to Davis Dirt Works for doing this project for us. We appreciate all the work you put into making it happen. It's beautiful.
Coco and Wiggles couldn't agree more!!

We can't wait to see our boarders and students enjoying it.

We're planning an open house this fall/winter to help us celebrate. We hope you'll join us.
Watch for details soon!

🎃🐴 THE GREAT SWAN RIVER PUMPKIN EXPERIMENT! 🐴🎃

Tonight, each of our school horses got a special Halloween surprise… a whole pumpkin in their stall!

Now we’re taking bets on what happened next! 😂

🎃 A. Immediately devoured it. Best. Treat. EVER.

🐴 B. Gave it a suspicious sniff and decided it was definitely plotting something.

🧡 C. Adopted it as their new best friend. Absolutely NOT eating it.

💥 D. Chose violence. Pumpkin destruction was the only option.

🙄 E. Completely ignored it. Not impressed.

Which horse do you think did WHAT?!

Drop your predictions in the comments! Bonus points if you can guess how your favorite school horse reacted!

We’ll share the results tomorrow! 🎃👀

The results are in! Our riders voted on which Swan River school horse they would want to take home with them and although it was a close race, Cinny takes home top honors. Was it her compact size, easygoing personality, or love of all snacks that took first place home for her?

🐴 Weekly Trivia Answer! 🐴

The guesses are in… and we had some good ones!

Although Jetta is a VERY close second, the Swan River school horse who has called our barn home the longest is… 🥁

❤️ TUCSON! ❤️

Tucson has been part of the Swan River family longer than any of our other current lesson horses. If you guessed Tucson, you got it right! 🎉

Thanks to everyone who played along with our first Weekly Trivia! Keep an eye on The Rider Board for the next question. 👀🐴
