Y’all have seriously showed up and showed OUT for us this year! ❤️
Between trail rides, pony rides, riding lessons, and all the other events we’ve been invited to be a part of, it’s been one heck of a year for Middle Fork Stables.
We are beyond thankful for every single person who has chosen to ride with us, brought their kids to see us, supported our little business, shared our posts, or simply cheered us on. We couldn’t do this without y’all!
We’ve still got about another month (give or take) of good riding weather, so if you’ve been putting off that trail ride, now’s the time! 🐴

Thank you for an amazing year so far! ❤️

Thanks to our wonderful clients/friends, the reward for information or proof leading to the arrest/conviction of the coward responsible is now $1,000!!

If you're visiting us in the next few days, please follow the driving directions that were sent in your confirmation message. Our road signs were vandalized last night.
We have security footage of the coward coming and going, but unfortunately not the actual act of vandalism.
If you were traveling KY-708 or KY-52 last night and saw anyone damaging our signs, we're offering a $500 reward for information or proof that leads to the conviction of the person responsible.
We'll be replacing the signs, and we're looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

This summer, we had the absolute pleasure of providing the horses for some amazing groups of campers! ❤️🐴
Seeing so many smiles and first experiences in the saddle reminded us why we love what we do. We're incredibly thankful for the opportunity to be a small part of their summer and hope each camper left with a few unforgettable moments.
A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible.

Most of all, we're incredibly thankful for our horses. They give their hearts every day, carrying our guests safely through these beautiful Kentucky mountains with the patience and kindness they're known for. They're the true stars of Middle Fork Stables, and we're so grateful for each of them.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our small business and letting us to share these incredible horses and this little piece of Kentucky with you. We can't wait to welcome many more familiar and new faces down the trail. ❤️🐴

🌞 Heat & Humidity Update 🌞
With the extreme heat and humidity expected throughout the rest of this week and into the weekend, some already scheduled trail rides may need to be rescheduled to early morning or postponed for the safety of our horses.

🐴 Horses overheat much faster than people, especially when they're working. A good rule of thumb is that when the temperature (°F) plus the humidity (%) equals 150 or more, conditions can become dangerous for horses—particularly seniors or those with medical conditions and most of our guest horses are seniors or have special medical needs, and asking them to work in dangerous heat simply isn't worth the risk. Heat-related illness can develop quickly, even in horses that appear healthy.

We'll be monitoring the forecast daily and reaching out to anyone affected as soon as possible. We know schedule changes can be inconvenient, and we truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility. We'd much rather postpone a ride than put one of our horses in an unsafe situation.

Thank you for helping us keep our amazing horses healthy, happy, and able to continue sharing these beautiful trails with everyone. ❤️🐴
