 About Us

Founded by David & Laura Portwood
 

 "Because of family, faith and hope a dream turned into a reality"

 

All grandparents have a special kind of love for their grandkids.

But not all grandparents goout of their way to make sure that goals

are reached, dreams are fulfilled, and that their

grandkids and those kids' friends and "students" are destined to have a successful career

in whatever they choose.

 

I grew up with horses, on and off of them, from fun shows and parades to team sorting and team ropings.

Maybe nobody knew it but it was far more than a phase or a hobby; it is truley

a loved lifestyle. My parents divorced when I was in Kindergarten, my father was not always a dad which

resulted in missing out on a lot of riding time. The next couple years I got to ride here and there, and as

any little kid I treasured it. In 2003 I turned 7 years old, my grandparents bought me my first horse for my birthday. I vagually remember trying to be the best help a 7 year old could be to my step-father who was building fence in order to keep the horse. We went to go pick her up, they asked me to decide between two; needless to I came home with the opposide horse I chose (probably a good thing). At 7 years old, my first horse was a 3 year old bay mare who knew absoultley nothing. Today, I give lessons on that same horse, I can rope off her, catch other horses off her, literally do anything I want off her. Looking back I am as thankful as ever that I didnt get my way. And because of my grandparents I was able to have a chance to have a bond with one special horse like every little girl should.

 

Years down the road, still striving to get better at anything to do in the saddle my grandparents decide to put together a facility I never thought I would get. Parents, grandparents, great grandparents, family and friends all helped in creating this facility that is still underway. A facility that will offer the best care possible for my horses, and the best place possible to train horses, host events, and share my knowledge with those who wish to learn to ride. 

 

Starting in 2015, it is now time to show off all of their hard work and let them sit back and relax! Hope to see everyone at "the arena"!
