Equestrian Lifestyle and Horses in Colorado

Establishing a stable and raising horses can take you down a wondrous journey. We recommend the pole barn stable and attractive fencing – all custom designed exactly for your property. It’s good-looking. It’s practical. A good gathering place, pole barns can also be enlarged to include a meeting area. Equestrians often build a large tack room so more people can be accommodated.

Horses as Friends

Intelligent and responsive, horses can become your best friends. Truly, the majestic creatures notice your every action. Just as you will teach discipline and cooperation, horses can make sure you get out under the big sky to enjoy fresh air and beautiful sunsets.

Horses as Social Adjuncts

Horses are versatile. Take your horses out on the trails with friends – or pack trips. You can explore the backcountry, take day trips, and enter competitions at Douglas County Fairgrounds. The gentle animals enjoy other herds and people.

Horses as Responsibility

We can’t forget the demands of caring for our horses. They need to be fed and watered.
Feed them the best you can, for these long-living animals can serve you with strength. They need exercise. Their pens need to be mucked out. They need to be groomed.

Take them on exercise journeys. Bring them treats. And remember, horses love being talked to and enjoyed. They are communicative animals.

Horses as Artists

Decide what skills you’d like your horses to acquire. Maybe trail riding is your thing. There is more to conquer, though. U.S. Equestrian recognizes 11 breeds. Think about it. Horses include Andalusian/Lusitano, Arabian, Connemara, Friesian, Hackney, Morgan, National Show Horse, Paso Fino, American Saddlebred, Shetland, Welsh pony, and more.

When it comes to skill sets, the sky is the limit. U.S. Eventing recognizes 18 disciplines. In rodeo, we have barrel races, bronc riding, cutting, steer wrestling, and roping. Then cross country, polocrosse, saddle seat, eventing, dressage, jumping, polo, endurance, reining, Western pleasure, Hunter riding, parade horse, trail riding, Olympic and Paralympic.
