Lestat and Savannah are expecting! Savannah is a wonderful mare owned by a friend of mine in Oregon. I met her through my trainer and I have had the pleasure of getting to know her and her mare these last couple years. This is going to be a sporty, flashy, and very loved foal! The vet says it's looking like a filly! For 2027! How exciting!

Plenty people have asked about our current expecting mama's. We have 3 due at the end of summer! Stay turned for those announcements! And yes, we will be doing mare-ternity shoots!

UPDATE: We have ideas, some parts to check out and some insight to the gears on the water truck! For now, I'm pricing some temporary water truck solutions.

Alrighty, calling all handy dads!
I need water trailer and water truck help! The water truck is running but it won't pressurize to push water. I called a couple recommendations and have come up empty.
As a back up to the water truck i purchased a used water trailer. I was told it needed a solenoid cap and spray nozzles but otherwise runs fine. It works, it pushes water but without the cap it just pushes out that one part. I don't know what cap I need and the nozzles I bought don't fit. I have no clue what I am doing.
It is dusty, it's hot, and I want to water the arenas efficiently. If you know how to help please reach out. If you know someone who can help, please send them my way. I am not a mechanic and I have zero clue when it comes to anything like this. I never thought I would be happy to see rain on the forecast but really, other than hand watering (4th time today), that is the only thing providing moisture to these arenas right now.
Thanks in advance!

The front page is still our fun under construction note but the two buttons, More Info and Calendar will get you to the pages you're looking for!

Hey everyone! Just a reminder Whether it's the arena, the wash rack, or the trailer parking area, please help keep our shared spaces tidy by picking up after your horses! It’s a bit of a juggling act to drag the arena when I’m hopping off every few minutes to scoop up those road apples! Thanks for pitching in and keeping our barn a great place for everyone.

All you car buffs this is for you!
Can we move it and make it a center piece on the drive in or are the trees providing necessary protection from the elements? Thoughts? Ideas? Lemme know!

Pacific NW Dust Control to the rescue! I called every company Google could suggest for water supply including the non emergency fire department! Pacific NW Dust Control called me back immediately and patched me through to Jeff who said they'll have a water truck here for the indoor bright and early tomorrow morning. For now there is a sprinkler in the outdoor doing it's best. Tomorrow we'll have a fresh saturation in the indoor, a good drag and we should be back up and running! For now, the outdoor is open and the indoor is too but you might need an industrial pressure washer to clean off with after.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a chincilla? Come ride in our arena! The best exfoliating dust there is out there! ! 🤣

Seriously though, we are working on it.
