Another beautiful summer night at Manitou Hill Farms tonight. So relaxing just sitting back watching the goings on and snapping a few pics. If you've ever wante...d to take a riding lesson, now is the time. Danielle is loving it! "The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and freedom."

Someone is on the naughty list this year! LOL! Just a glimpse of the shenanigans happening on the farm this week!

If you give your child a pony...

‘Let your child have a bad ride. I know you want to protect them from the hardships of this world. I know you want to give them success and good experiences. I ...know you don't want to see them get hurt. To see them fall. To see them fail. But, hear me out, let your child have a bad ride. Let them cry the tears of frustration. Let them shake the sand out from the inside of their riding pants. Let them face the fear building inside of them. Let them step back on again. Yes, let your child have a bad ride. Let them hate the horse that challenges them. Let them learn what fight and passion and ambition mean. Let them realize that when they refuse to quit the horse will take the time to listen. Grant them the joy of realizing that they are connecting with another living being. Grant them the joy of realizing that they, although they are small, can be powerful. Grant them the joy of seeing their hard work pay off, through the days of tears can come a love unspeakable. Yes, let your child have a bad ride. Afterall, life will grant us plenty of them.’ By Sarah Crouse

The crew was all here!
