Big thanks to Country Chevrolet of Warrenton! I purchased my truck from them back in 2019, and they’ve been supporting Nalani ever since. We’re so grateful for their sponsorship of Hike for Horses and for their continued excellent service. It means the world to have local businesses stand behind our mission. 🩵🐴

✨ Cricket is searching for his forever companion home! Spread the word! ✨

At about 25 years old and standing a cute 13.1 hands, Cricket is the sweetest little gentleman wrapped up in the most adorable package.

He can be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he soaks up attention, especially from tiny humans! In fact, he absolutely adores children and would thrive in a home where he can be loved on by little ones.

Cricket is barefoot, UTD on all his care, and incredibly safe to handle. He gets along well with the whole herd, has a best buddy, but isn’t buddy sour. He’s happy to go with the flow.

This kind, gentle soul is ready for a family to love him as much as he will love them. 🐴💕

📩 If you think Cricket could be the perfect fit for your family, reach out to us today! *Located in Broad Run, Va. Adopters will be fully vetted.

Welcome to Nalani “Big Al” (Jockey Club name: Safely Stored). More to come, but my first impression is he’s just as sweet as he is big! 🩵

Big thanks to Kate Breiner for teaching us how to do pillar work with Teddy.🐴

Pillar work is a type of in-hand exercise that helps horses engage their core, lift through their back, and build a more balanced, symmetrical body. It’s kind of like Pilates for horses.

Teddy has some muscle loss along his topline (the muscles that run along his back), likely from a mix of past pain, poor training when he was younger, and years of moving in a way that compensated for discomfort.

The best thing is he actually enjoys the work! And we’re already seeing changes in his posture. It’s going to make a big difference in his long-term health and comfort, which is exactly what he deserves. 🩵

Cricket and Captain. Proof that when you’re a little scared and timid, there’s nothing better than a steady soul to guide and comfort you. 🐴✨🩵

Education is a big part of what we do at Nalani. We love every chance to show people just how incredible horses are, and to share our belief in building relationships based on kindness and trust, not dominance.

Meet Sam! He is a vet assistant at a small animal clinic and is applying to vet schools. He wanted to get some hands-on experience with horses, so starting today, he’ll be spending time with us.

He survived heat, bugs, and storms on day one. Welcome to the world of horse care, Sam! We’re excited to have you! 🐴
