Encouraging wild horse adoption through challenging long rides.  
What is long riding? Simply put, long riding is long distance travel by horse. Unlike endurance riding, long riding is not competitive and it is not timed. It is an equestrian expedition!

Virginia Youth and Yearling Extreme Mustang Makeover - Makayla & Poppy

by Makayla Cardova
On April 30, 2016 we were in Mascot, TN waiting to meet my yearling. On the way home from Tennessee we picked a name. We decided on the name Poppy, like the flower. I found a quote and thought it fit. "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it, it just blooms". I thought this was perfect for the competition. I'm not looking to win or be number one. I'm training to give her a good start and then find her a great home....

Freshness on the Farm 
not baby Isaebail ... vegetables and eggs abound
