Meet Kazi 🤎🐴

Please help us welcome the newest member of the Academy family: Kazi! 🤠

Kazi is a beautiful grade mare who is almost 5 years old, and we are SO excited to have her joining our herd! She’s got plenty of growing, learning, and adventures ahead of her, and we can’t wait to watch her settle into her new job as an Academy horse.

We have a feeling this sweet girl is going to be a favorite around the barn. 🤎

Welcome to the family, Kazi! We’re so glad you’re here! 🐴✨

The whole crew has officially arrived at their new home, and we couldn’t be happier to see them settling in so well! 🥹

Our Academy horses are loving every minute of their new life at Cross Ranch. We’re so excited for all the memories, lessons, adventures, and milestones that are ahead of us here.

Welcome home, horses. We’re so glad you’re here.

The backpacks are packed, the school bells are ringing!

There’s nothing quite like ending a school day at the barn.

If your horse is anything like Cocoa from Cowgirl Kate & Cocoa… they might not be too happy about you going to school without them!

From all of us at ARA, have an amazing school year!

Give our barn a follow!

Welcome to Cross Ranch. 🤍

A new chapter is beginning.

Rooted in a love for horses, hard work, and the Western way of life, Cross Ranch is being built with a simple purpose: to create a place where people and horses can grow together.

This property carries its own history: from its days as a dairy farm, to its years as Boulder Equestrian Center, and we’re honored to add our own chapter to its story.

Here, we believe a ranch should be more than a place to keep horses. It should be a place to learn, work, gather, slow down, and make memories. A place where horsemanship matters, tradition is valued, and there is always room at the barn.

Cross Ranch will be home to our riding academy (American Riding Academy), boarding program, community events, and so much more.

We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to show you what’s ahead.

Welcome to Cross Ranch. Welcome Home.

✨ BIG NEWS IS HERE! ✨

We’re moving!

After an incredible season, we’re thrilled to announce that our riding academy is moving to a beautiful new home. This next chapter gives us more room to grow, ride, learn, and create even more unforgettable memories together.

Beginning August 31st, all lessons, programs, and events will take place at our new facility. If you’re currently enrolled, please be sure to double-check the location of your lesson before arriving. We’ll continue sending reminders and sharing updates throughout the month.

This move means:
🌾 More space to ride
🐴 More opportunities for our horses and riders
🤍 More exciting programs and events
⭐ The same instructors, horses, and community you know and love

We are so grateful for every family who has supported us along the way. Your trust and encouragement have made this milestone possible, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our new home.

Here’s to new beginnings and an exciting future together! Stay tuned for sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes updates, and a grand opening celebration coming soon.
