HEY FRIENDS! Help our herd grow!

We love sharing all the joy, progress, and everyday shenanigans from life at High Hurdles! 💙

Every time someone new discovers us, it helps our program grow, from volunteers and community partners to the amazing horses that make it all possible.

Bello from the High Hurdles crew!

Minions felt appropriate because truthfully, most days at the barn involve a little chaos, a lot of laughter and a fair amount of cleaning up after others. Happy Halloween!!

Storage clean out, and this fella needs to find a home!

Let us know if you want him. He is solid (or mostly solid) wood and about three feet tall.

❄️⛄️Winter Mini's are back!

We’re excited to offer winter lessons to our 2025 season riders again this year! Based on feedback from last season, this mini session will run for 6 weeks (Jan5-Feb 14), with the same make-up/weather policy as our regular sessions. We’ve built in two extra weeks at the end to allow for any weather-related make-ups.

Remember: winter lessons aren’t just about time in the saddle! They’ll also include off-horse and classroom activities designed to build on skills and knowledge gained on horse.

📆Schedule options:

Tuesdays 11:30am and 3pm
Wednesdays 11:30am and 3pm
Thursdays 11:30am, 3pm and 4:30pm
Fridays 11:30am, 3pm and 4:30pm
Saturdays 10am and 11:30am

📩 Contact Shelby today to reserve your spot!

We’re building a Barn Closet full of extra clothes for those moments when the weather (or memory) catches riders and volunteers off guard.

We’re looking for donations of clean, gently used barn clothes like sweatshirts, jackets, pants, gloves, and boots.

Donations can be dropped off at the barn, 13339 Rt 39 Sardinia, NY 14134. Your donations will help keep everyone warm and comfortable through the seasons!

If we receive more than our closets can handle, we will pass on the kindness by donating to a local clothing drive. Thank you! ❤️🐴

We get this question frequently enough that we We thought this was worth sharing. Many people ask us how our horses stay out overnight and get around safely!

Oh, and those fly masks? They can see out of those too! 😄

Can horses see in the dark?

✨ Welcome Dreamer! ✨
We’re so excited to welcome Dreamer to the herd! 🐴 He’s an Off-Track Standardbred (OTSB) who started out on the racetrack, spent some time as an Amish driving horse, and was then picked up by his wonderful owner, who thought he’d be a great fit for our program. And they were right... Dreamer has already fit right in and is settling into farm life like he’s always been here. 💛
