Here’s to growth, learning, and many meaningful moments ahead — one step, one ride, and one goal at a time.

As 2025 wraps up, we’re closing the year on a high note—with the results from our Texas Equine Winter Online Horse Show now officially posted! From first-time riders to experienced competitors, each of you brought your best to the arena, and we couldn’t be prouder of the growth and dedication we saw in every entry.

Winter horse care requires careful planning and adjustments to keep your horse warm, hydrated, and healthy. By ensuring proper nutrition, thoughtful blanketing, and safe turnout, you’ll help your horse thrive through the colder months!

If you thought you missed your chance — don’t worry! Our Texas Equine Cruise Giveaway is still going strong, and there’s still time to enter.

Our winter Texas Equine merchandise has arrived, and our store finally has a name! Allstride Outfitters is officially here! We chose the name Allstride Outfitters because it reflects everything we stand for. No matter your discipline — English, Western, therapeutic riding, trail riding, or simply loving life around horses — you belong here. Our goal is to create apparel and gear that celebrates every rider, every horse, and every stride along the way.

At Texas Equine, our wish list is available year-round, and it truly reflects the ongoing needs of our horses, programs, and facility. We are incredibly grateful to our Texas Equine family and supporters who so generously donate throughout the year. Your kindness makes a real and lasting impact on the horses in our care and the people we serve.

Winter break is here — which means extra downtime, cozy mornings, and the perfect opportunity for kids to dive into a good book.

The Reading Rein  is a fun, self-paced literacy challenge designed to encourage kids to read more — all through the exciting world of horses. It’s simple

On October 30th, Texas Equine turned five years old—and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by reflecting on how far we’ve come and expressing our deepest gratitude to those who’ve helped us grow.

We’re excited to share our November coloring sheet , inspired once again by a real moment captured here at Texas Equine Education & Horsemanship! This month’s page features one of our amazing interns working a horse on the lunge line  — a training technique used to build communication, balance, and trust from the ground before riding. Lunging is an important part of horsemanship, and this calm, focused scene is a great reminder that learning doesn’t just happen in the saddle

Understanding Horse Colors & Patterns — The Basics Horses may come in hundreds of color variations, but every coat begins with two base colors : Black Red/Chestnut All other c

Tonight’s class was all about one of the smallest yet mightiest members of the equine world—the American Miniature Horse ! These tiny horses may stand no taller than 34 inches, but they’re packed with personality, intelligence, and heart. Miniature horses were first bred in Europe as novelty pets for royalty in the 1600s before finding their way to America, where they were later used in coal mines because of their small size and steady nature. Today, they’re loved for their g
