About Us

We are a horse-obsessed father-daughter team who has owned a few different of these wonderful animals. The dad, Josh, is generally not the rider of the horses. That job is belongs to the daughter, Hannah, who is an avid Pony Clubber currently working on her C-1 certification. After owning and taking care of the horses for quite a few years now, as well as schooling, showing, and competing at local and regional shows, we've learned quite a bit. We're here to share our knowledge with you, and we're happy you're here.
