We are heartbroken to share the passing of Liza Dennehy, Michael's sister. Liza was an accomplished rider, a respected judge and course designer and a devoted mother and wife. Liza fought a hard battle with cancer and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. 💔

‼️We are hiring‼️ BWF is seeking a full time groom to support our amazing team at Little Raven Ranch in Littleton, CO. To inquire, please call Michael Dennehy at 303-638-6805, email us at [email protected] or send us a DM!

Huge congrats to Charley Wilson on the purchase of the amazing stallion, Corico Z! 🤩 We are so excited for this pair and can’t wait to see them in the show ring this spring! 🦄

✨ Stunning Stallion for Sale ✨
Corico Z is a 15 year old beautiful stallion with an extensive upper-level show record. He is steady, reliable, brave, and exceptionally easy in the barn. He would make a fantastic move-up horse for a rider looking to be competitive in the 1.10–1.30m classes.
Very sweet in temperament and suitable for a junior or amateur rider, and his hind end…simply superb. 💪
Corico is currently showing in the 1.30 and 1.40 Jumpers and is available to be tried weeks 6-10 at the !
