Our pony trio, Shadow, Dorito, and Duke are the first to test out our sensory trail/track system. Safe to say they are loving it and having a blast!

Our sensory trail will be an outdoor experience for participants and horses to find a safe, immersive trail experience. It will also double as a track system for the horses, which provides enrichment, encourages movement and mimics the natural lifestyle of exploring and foraging for a horse.

Happy Birthday to Duke(19) and Lucy(28)! These two incredible horses have touched so many lives and we’re grateful every day to have them at the heart of our program. Every year with these special animals is truly a gift. This year celebrates 20 wonderful years with Lucy and 12 with Duke

We can’t wait for a future of sharing this beautiful space with our participants and community! The horses are already enjoying it 🌞

It’s all smiles at the mountain! ❄️⛷️ February vacation kept our Ski & Snowboard Team very busy. We’ve taught over 150 lessons at King Pine Ski Area so far this season!

This is a VERY exciting update! We’ve received a partial occupancy permit, which means we can begin moving horses into the new barn. While construction is still underway we cannot offer programming or welcome the public, but we can start acclimating the herd to their new home. We kicked things off with Duke, Guinness and Traveler. Seeing horses inside the barn is so fulfilling and we’re chomping at the bit to bring the rest and eventually begin operations. When the time comes, we’ll celebrate with a grand opening and public open house. We can’t wait to welcome everyone!

The barn is almost complete! Watching the progress of the GSA Equestrian Facility come to life has been truly incredible. We are so grateful for everyone who’s helping turn this dream into reality. The metal indoor arena, viewing areas, tack and feed room, office and multipurpose space are all full steam ahead. Stay tuned!

How do we prepare our herd for this weather?

Horses can be very adaptable to weather, but quick, drastic changes in weather are stressful to their sensitive systems. Here are some things that we do to protect our equine friends:

•Plenty of forage: eating and digesting hay warms their body
•Monitoring hydration and offering heated buckets or warmed water: many horses become dehydrated in the winter and they often don’t want to drink water if it is too cold
•Soaked feed: our horses eat their pelleted food soaked normally, but if yours don’t, now is the perfect time to serve their normal rations warmly soaked for extra hydration and a warm meal
•Layering as needed: horses are individual in how they grow their winter coat, some of ours need a blanket every day through the winter, while others very rarely do. Drastic temperature drop and wind calls for some extra layers for both humans and horses!
•Windbreak: shelter from the wind in temps this cold is crucial
•Extra bedding: adding extra bedding helps with warmth, and also encourages sleep when older horses may be feeling sore or uncomfortable from the frigid cold
•Close monitoring: any dramatic change in environment calls for extra monitoring to be sure they are doing well
