Hey lucky pastures riders!! I will be working on our new schedules this week.
Please know that if you do NOT want to switch days it is totally completely okay! Don’t feel obligated to say yes when I ask you ❤️.
There are just some peeps I need to move around for their schedules and I will be scoping out my options to match the riders up with kiddos their age.

It is going to be super important for you to bring water! It’s a scorcher out here!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh and also I have officially decided on a name for our new friend!!! Drum rolllllllllll
POTATO!!!!! 🥔

Thanks for your help kiddos!!!! I’m in love ❤️

Alright y’all! So I’ve been getting a kick out of asking my lesson kids what we should name the new horse. My personal favorite is potato 😂
Let’s vote!
And also if your kiddo had another suggestion put it in the comments and I’ll try to add it to the poll if it will allow me!
The only guidelines I have is it has to follow the food theme we’ve got going here.

Happy riding!

Hey my riding friends!
This weather is HOT.
Please please please make sure you bring water!
I’m working on getting us a refrigerator out here (they break every year because of the dust in the barn) so coolers are more than welcomed here!
Friendly reminder that you have to wear some kind of pants. Jeans are more required for rough trail riding. But if you’re only riding for an hour out here you can literally wear anything that covers your legs. The reason being is the saddles will HURT and rub the skin and the student can’t focus on their seat.

Another friendly reminder for my newbies is no sneakers for riding! You can literally have any kind of boot. Leather is recommended because it protects your toes from when horses step on them which happens A LOT!
But if it’s a thicker material, I’m not picky! It has to be something that has some kind of heel that prevents the foot from slipping into the stirrup and it has to be something that goes up the ankle a little bit.

If you don’t have boots just let me know! I have some kids boots and adult boots so I may have something you can use for the time being.

Also you are not required to buy your own helmet HOWEVER!!!! When we start getting into horse shows and trail riding off site it’s much easier for everyone for you to have your own helmet.
Again I KNOW how expensive they are especially when your child is growing.
BUT
Sometimes I run out of the correct size
Sometimes kid’s accidentally leave home with them
Sometimes people are grossed out from the sweat of others
And there’s always the risk of lice.

So! Just look out on marketplace for lightly used ones and let me look at them to check for cracks before we use them.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk! Happy riding!!!! Lol

Hey everyone! I’m not sure if this is allowed but lucky pastures is expanding. Which is great! But I have realized I need more helmets lol.
So if anyone has any for sale, or would like a lesson in exchange for a helmet go ahead and shoot me a message!
Thanks so much!

Do you have a 5-7 year old wanting to ride horses?
I have a 6 year old student looking for someone to join her!
Some of my childhood best friends I still have today are from horses! So if you’ve been thinking about it message me and join the equestrian world❤️❤️❤️
Happy riding!!!

Hey everyone! Just throwing it out there that we have some openings on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday if anyone is interested in starting lessons ❤️

Normally I do a private lesson with everyone to evaluate where they are at with their experience.

The private lessons are $60 until the student is ready to join another student.

When the student is ready to join another student it is $45 for lessons.

Our farm is a super laid back family friendly place. We have a garden and some chickens for siblings to play with or for students who would like to stay and hang out after their lesson.

We normally run lessons in this format
15 min: tacking up/ learning how
15 min: work on a skill in the arena
15 min: play a game to enforce new skill set
15 min: trail ride/ 5 min untack

Happy riding!!
