In Loving Memory
Remembering Gordon
The Swan River family is saddened by the passing of Gordon, a beloved member of our barn community.
After being rescued and retired, Gordon came to Swan River, where he spent the past several years with his owner, Jasper. He became a familiar and cherished presence around the barn and will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Our hearts are with Jasper and the Kenyon family during this difficult time.
Congratulations
New Partnership
Congratulations to Macy on beginning her Gold Lease with Cinny!
We're excited to watch this partnership continue to grow both in and out of the saddle. Leasing gives riders additional opportunities to build confidence, strengthen their connection with their horse, and continue developing their horsemanship outside of regular lessons.
We can't wait to see what Macy and Cinny accomplish together!
Camp
Pony Pals Openings
There are still a few spots available for our upcoming Pony Pals Camp on August 17–18!
Designed especially for younger horse lovers, Pony Pals Camp is a fun introduction to the world of horses. Campers will enjoy riding lessons, hands-on horse care, grooming, crafts, games, and plenty of time getting to know our friendly lesson horses and ponies in a safe, welcoming environment.
If you know a child who has been dreaming about horses, this is the perfect opportunity to experience life at the barn.
