New Horizon Ranch 2022
Many of my summers early in my equestrian career were spent at New Horizon Ranch. Long hot days were spent with friends, spending every waking hour with horses and absorbing everything we could about horse care, riding and life. There was not a care in the world as we would spend hours with the horses, going from one horse to the next before moving on to whatever else could be done around the property. It was a time in my life when there was one thing I couldn’t get enough of, horses and New Horizon Ranch had no shortage of those to ride, love on and watch from a fence, gazing off into the distance as they roamed the huge pasture. It is a place that I will always look back on fondly and one that I am grateful has continued to be part of my journey as an equine photographer.
Iris Rau and Trish Thompson have been two of my biggest supporters from day 1, from photographing their two studs in 2015, to now getting to come and photograph their sales horses year after year. While the same familiar faces of the horses I grew up with may no longer be there to greet me, the feeling that comes from spending time here never changes. It always puts me in the mindset to just be and enjoy my time with horses, and for this I am very thankful.
If you see any horses in this post that catch your eye, they may be for sale. Check out New Horizon Ranch to find out more and get in touch!
They also host horse camps every year that are an invaluable experience to any young equestrian! I wish I could go back in time to experience one of these summer camps just one more time.
