My mom was a huge horse lover, and had the opportunity to live on a farm and own horses (again) at the age of 52. Sadly, after just one and a half short years of living her dream, she passed away. My sibling and I very unfortunately had to rehome her horses as we could not afford them on our own. Over a year after mom’s passing, we were able to visit one of her most loved horses. As soon as we stepped into the barn with my mom’s horse Jadis, we felt my mom’s spirit. We loved on Jadis, groomed her, and even rode her bare back. We felt so connected to our mom through Jadis, and Jadis was the most perfect horse during the whole visit. Jadis, a white Arabian, will always be a part of us because she was a part of our mom.
Thank you,

Ally's horses have given me back my peace for when the dark days of depression and sadness loom. I had to sell my heart horse in the summer of 2019 due to not being able to find boarding that I felt she would be taken care of as I wanted / expected her to be. I was getting married and my mom was selling her land we had kept her at. I swore the day she was loaded and going to a wonderful home, I would never put my foot back in a stirrup. Than I stumbled on Ally's the first ride I immediately felt the peace wash over me and stress of life leave. I knew than that the dreams of shareing that part of my life and love for horses with my niece and nephews had once again became possible. They are all after me to buy horses again but the problem is finding land for them we can afford in this crazy world. Watching the excitement the kids get each time I tell them I've made arraignments to ride makes my heart so happy. Just breathing in the smells of the horses and spending a little time in the saddle has once again breathed life into some of my dreams I thought id never have again. My horse was a paint and each time I take one of my nephews who used to ride in front of me he talks about our rides and how much fun he had than. Thank you Ally and your ponies for helping heal my broken heart and helping me instill a love of horses in the kiddos lives.

I grew up wanting to own a horse, not unlike many children, but never getting one. I was able to trail ride occasionally and take one set of lessons in my 20’s.
I’m now 42 years old and taking lessons with Ally has fulfilled a life-long dream of mine. Ally makes you feel right at home and takes special care to be sure you learn as much as you can about proper care of horses, proper saddling, and being safe while riding. Her team of trail guides are fantastic and the horses are all patient with new riders. I have the pleasure of riding Speedy when I ride and he always takes good care of me. Once I am in the saddle, I’m able to be in the moment with Speedy and the trails. Any stress just melts away. It’s the best self care!
