Hey everyone! Just a reminder Whether it's the arena, the wash rack, or the trailer parking area, please help keep our shared spaces tidy by picking up after your horses! It’s a bit of a juggling act to drag the arena when I’m hopping off every few minutes to scoop up those road apples! Thanks for pitching in and keeping our barn a great place for everyone.

All you car buffs this is for you!
Can we move it and make it a center piece on the drive in or are the trees providing necessary protection from the elements? Thoughts? Ideas? Lemme know!

Pacific NW Dust Control to the rescue! I called every company Google could suggest for water supply including the non emergency fire department! Pacific NW Dust Control called me back immediately and patched me through to Jeff who said they'll have a water truck here for the indoor bright and early tomorrow morning. For now there is a sprinkler in the outdoor doing it's best. Tomorrow we'll have a fresh saturation in the indoor, a good drag and we should be back up and running! For now, the outdoor is open and the indoor is too but you might need an industrial pressure washer to clean off with after.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a chincilla? Come ride in our arena! The best exfoliating dust there is out there! ! 🤣

Seriously though, we are working on it.

From what I have heard and seen, it looks like this weekend was a hit! Thanks to everyone who joined for the fun! I was in Idaho at another event and got tons of pictures of all the happenings including...the water truck breaking down! Since I had an 8+ hour drive yesterday I had plenty of time to track down a mechanic to take a look today so hopefully we'll be back up and running!
For now, we are back to sprinklers and I'm looking for a temp pull behind water sprayer but just a heads up, things might be a little dusty until we get this figured out.

Have you ever wanted to live out your knight‑in‑shining‑armor fantasy?
Or maybe you’ve secretly dreamed of charging down a lane, snagging rings, slaying targets, and looking dramatically heroic while doing it. Now’s your chance.

Flying M Stables and Artois Equestrian are teaming up with Knightly Ventures to bring you a full day of medieval riding, games, and spectacle!

Start your morning in the saddle learning the classics:
Running the Gauntlet • Ring Tilt • The Quintain • Running the Head • Intro to Lance Work

Then stay for the Family Fun!
Meet‑and‑greets, arts & crafts, photo ops, food stations…
Pet the knights! Meet the horses!
(Yes, both are equally majestic in their natural habitats.)

Plus:
✨ Stallion spotlights with Lestat Le Roi & DaVinci De Lestat
✨ Thundering Hooves and Shattered Lances evening show to close out the day!

Saturday, August 29th!
Bring the family. Bring the horses. Bring your inner knight.
Stay tuned for schedule of events, vendor info, sign‑ups, and more!
