Lone Birch Stables

At last, a nice day to ride out!

Molly assisting Ron R.J. Bradford in his horsemanship lesson. Molly is younger sister of Robin and Bear.

Bear is continuing his jumping education with the help of Allison and Danielle. Thanks to Antoine for refurbishing all the jumps!

A beautiful evening after a frigid day! Clearly the mares were not bothered by yesterday’s cold

At least someone is enjoying the snow...

My favorite little men, Charlie & Chance

When the lessons are done, it’s time for the instructors to ride! Yes, John E Carle, that’s your girl Dawn with newest member of the instruction team, Mikayla MacNeill. Good to see the two of them together again.

The new sweatshirts are coming. Some will be available before Christmas. Unisex sizing , $25 each. Contact us to reserve one.

A busy Sunday morning despite the rotten weather. Mikayla MacNeill has her 2 beginners mastering steering while trotting. A boarder working collection drills. And my adult working on jog to extended jog on Robin.

Two of the best lesson horses an instructor could ever hope for! Princess and Minnie are hard at work training another generation of new riders. You know you’re blessed when your horses are teaching the children of some of their former riders. Both these mares are 23 and going strong after more than a decade in our program.

The paint horses rounding out their educations... Robin is studying the terrifying toddler in the stroller while Bear pops over some mini cross rails.
