Quinn

We are excited to introduce our newest session horse! Quinn is a red Appendix Quarter horse, meaning he’s part quarter horse and part thoroughbred. He will turn four on March 18, 2018. After being rescued and raised by a similar ministry (Stormhaven Youth Ranch in Kentucky), he was trained by Tiffany Rowe, 3-Star Parelli Professional, with his first ride and many subsequent rides put on him by her children. At age three, Quinn, (originally named Biscuit*), was ready to find his “forever home.” We are thrilled to offer him just that, here**!

Slow Feeder Hay Nets

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about our hay feeders, so we decided to put all the information together in one place for you to read.

These are what we have been using for the last 3.5 years. They are homemade slow feeder hay nets and we love them! We first read about them and got the idea here.  You can find the information on actually making the nets from that link. We order the netting from Arizona Sports Equipment. (Note: They no longer sell the netting with the width size referred to in the article linked to, so we now make our nets shorter and wider.) Most of the hay nets we found pre-made online were thinner material and ripped apart very quickly. The hockey netting is very thick and strong, so it takes much longer for the horses to tear through.

But each time, I did as instructed. And I survived. It was never pretty, and that never mattered.
