What fun we had this summer with our very popular Little Spirits Summer Day Camp sessions!
We very much enjoyed having the kids with us at the barn this summer. Our wonderful staff and volunteers did a terrific job!
Most importantly our horses deserve high praise for taking such amazing care and showing miles of patience with these eager, young learners. As always our horses are the foundation of our business and our hearts!
Check our calendar of events here to see our upcoming Fall and Winter Little Spirits and other group learning programs.

Fundraising Benefit Dressage Schooling show held at Spirit Horse Center for the Mounted Eagles Therapeutic Horsemanship for Persons with Disabilities on June 19th 2010 was a rousing success - Area Equestrians competed and showed off their skills. The show ran from 8am to 3:45pm with a variety of junior and senior classes offered including intro and training level tests.
Competitors were scored and given constructive remarks by Judge Natalie Hinneman.
Over the noon break Mounted Eagles program participant Jenny Aulie performed a fantastic exhibition ride showcasing the skills she has learned during her 14 years with the program.
Show fees will benefit the Mounted Eagles a non profit program offering equine assisted activities for persons with disabilities or life challenges.

| Composting program turns waste Green |
Spirit Horse Center has its own composting program that eliminates manure and bedding in an environmentally friendly way.
We use an aerated composting system that blows air into the waste, which stimulates the micro-organisms that are already in the mix. Their by-product is heat. Within 30-60 days, the heat breaks down the material to dirt that is an excellent source of macro- and micro-nutrients as well as stable organic matter, all of which support healthy plant growth.
The process also produces conditions within the core of the pile that eliminates offensive orders, and the high temperatures destroy fly larvae and weed seeds, which improves horses’ health and yields a high-quality finished product.
For more information on the composting system, click here. |
