Riding into Fall
S
ummer is drawing to an end. Rain is still coming but we have had some wonderful time, meet some great folks and rode with many of them. Colors are beginning to be seen in the forest. Roy actually got
me off my horse and we went on a fishing trip. Didn’t catch much but had a wonderful time. With some great pictures.
The only thing I got to do horsy all day was to take a picture of horsetrail falls. Of course it was beautiful .
I’ m very happy I probable have just about enough hay for all my horses thanks to friend helping out and going to Delta to get hay. The trip was both exciting and tiring. We did have a few problems, like the trailer tongue breaking in have and we had to weld it up and then having a flat tire or two but we still made it and nobody was hurt so all O.K. Of course it wasn’t cheap!!!
So Now with the Moon making more of a showing, the fair is over. We are almost ready to settle in to our fall routine and ride horses. Oh wait, that’s what we have been trying to do all summer!!! So stay tune. We will hopefully still have more adventures and stories to tell as the fall comes, the leaves fall and hopefully the rain stops!!!!
Riding Between the Rain Drops….Splashing through the puddles. Sure is easy to do water crossing training this year!!!! (see there is always something positive to talk about).
Just keep on Smiling

What do we REALLY DO
We enjoy sharing our horses with folks who are not as lucky but would love to share the love affair we all have with horses. We do this by getting people involved with the horses.
Grooming, Riding, Cleaning, Doctoring, Loving, all in a day’s lesson. Our training grounds is mostly the wide outdoors. We teach riding by doing it. Going though the woods on winding trails, staying intone to your horse, relaxing, learning what to do when boggymen come calling. All in a day’s ride.
I’ve been told, I have just about the sweetest herd of horses around. This is due to good training on both horses and humans. We train both to become thinking partners and both appreciate it. Now we always have to have a leader, and I prefer the human to be that leader (though sometimes the horse might be the better choice).
If you would like to just learn about horses, ride out on trails and enjoy this beautiful place we call home, give Deb a call (745-0804). I work with all ages and abilities.
It can be scary at any age to learn to ride and control a horse. They are big, BEAUTIFUL, powerful, animals with a mind of their own. Our goal at EZ Walking stables is to help horses by educating their riders. How’s this for a CRAZY HORSE PICTURE!!!
Students/New owners need support in order to obtain success with their horse partner. I want folks to be as successful with horses and have as wonderful of time as I have. So I teach how to respect the horse and earn his respect too. It is difficult for some people to trust a horse and even more difficult for a horse to trust them. My plan has the horse teaching. From the horse, you learn horse patience, trust, respect and how to communicate. After the first few lessons, then you have the basics and now just need ride to perfect your communicate skills with the horse. 
On this site, we plan to provide numerous horse related help items. Since horses aren’t allow to use the Internet very often, they need your help to utilize this information. Owning a horse can be a large investment but we can make it an enjoyable and positive one.
Horses for Sale
Only one I have right now is Gracie. Do need to save an older Walker if anybody needs a nice, rider-able older gentleman. I don’t,but can’t see him being put down just yet, he’s still got lots of life to him.

There are cute story posted under Barn Stories
Here at EZ stables, we ride for pleasure. Everything we do with the horse is for pleasure, this includes our training. If the horse is having fun learning, then its fun for us to. Horses should not be expected to act like a robot, instead, he should be educated that working with humans can be exciting and interesting. Thus we try and develop working partnerships will all our horses and owners. This ensures that we are all having fun, and getting the most pleasure possible from our horses.
So if you want to get the most out of your horse on the trail or out for a simple pleasure ride, Deb at EZ Stables is who you should speak with. Come by the barn, see how every horse on the place is happy and wants to be with people. Horses are wonderful friends and if you want to experience, this the call or write today.
Remember Every time you are around, your horse is learning!
