Cottonwood Riding Club

Update on baby Enzo: He is sweet, silly, super curious, and growing like a boss! Mom Holly continues to be incredible. We are smitten. ❤️

There are few things better than spending time around horses. But there is something a little extra special about growing alongside a single horse, a best friend. Learning together. Sharing the highs and lows together. Becoming better together.

Here are some Cottonwood horse/human duos through the years. We love to watch the daily progress, but it’s also fun to see side-by-sides of what they were like then, and what they’re like now.

Stay tuned for more “then and now” magic over the next week or so. There are plenty more photo stories, waiting to be told!

Show season is officially underway, and team Cottonwood knocked it out of the park at this weekend’s Gold Creat Classic show at Denver Polo Club! Congratulations to all our riders and horses on an incredible show!

Tomorrow is Memorial Day, which means summer is just about here! If you have a horse-crazy kid in your life, we would love to welcome them to Pony Camp!

Campers will learn all the horse basics, meet awesome new friends, and make lasting memories! What more could you want in a summer activity?!

Meet our Horse of the Week, Gru! 🌟

Gru is a 13-year-old Canadian Warmblood who loves jumping, trail rides, and honestly, just about everything his people ask him to do.

He enjoys swimming in his food mashes, cantering out on the trail, being the designated Arapahoe Barn greeter, and taking care of anyone who happens to be on his back. He is a gentle giant with a comfortable step and a friendly disposition.

Be sure to say hello to Gru when you see him around the barn!

Team Cottonwood had so much fun at Fox Hill this past weekend, and brought home some great ribbons! Shoutout to Lui, Kevin, Sundance, Rey, and Luna for representing in the jumper classes!

Smile if you’re excited for a weekend at the barn!

Meet our Horse of the Week, Indy! 🌟

Gorgeous Indy is a 10-year-old Holsteiner mare. She has natural jumping ability, and she loves to show it off!

Indy loves her mom and Sam. She also enjoys peppermints, chai lattes, her friend, Washee, and going fast.

Be sure to say hello to Indy if you see her around the barn!
