Orange County Fairgrounds Equestrian Center

By

There has been some talk circulating around recently saying that the OC Fairgrounds is planning on eliminating the equestrian center. There are three different plans the Fairgrounds are considering, and it does not appear at all in any of the three plans that there is any indication that the Fairgrounds is razing the equestrian center.

Huge Thank You to Havens Horse Feed

We recently received a donation of 60 (yes, 60!) bags of grain from Havens Horse Feed. They donated bags of both their Basis Sport pellets and the Power Plus Muesli.

We hadn't heard about Havens Horse Feed, but they are actually local in Orange County, and ship across the United States. Their feed is 100% all natural and they have a number of different types of feed available for different needs. You can … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Cody

By

A few months ago, we posted about Cody, a Missouri Foxtrotter who needed a new home. He had bucked off his owner, and she felt that he was no longer safe for her to ride.

Cody has fit in very well with her family, and sent us this update: He is a hilarious character and fits right in with our barn. He is super curious and well behaved. I ponied him all over before riding … [Read more...]

Many of you may remember our sweet boy, Austin, who we rescued last year. When we took him in, Austin had been abandoned by his owner because he was blind in one eye.
