🌟 Exciting News for Lucky Fox Farm! 🌟

After 9 incredible years of growth, learning, and making lasting memories, we are excited to announce a new chapter for Lucky Fox Farm. What started as a small backyard program to support our IEA kids has blossomed into a full-fledged boarding and show barn, and we are so proud of what it has become!

Throughout the years, we’ve met amazing people, had fantastic horses come through our program, and faced the ups and downs of the equine industry. But now, it’s time for a new adventure! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that Lucky Fox Farm will now be transitioning to Lucky Fox IEA at Armour Ranch. The dream that Marianne and I started together is now in the hands of our wonderful friends, Rachel and Rick Miller, who have always dreamed of owning and operating an equine facility. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with them to ensure a smooth transition, and we couldn’t be more excited about their plans for the future. 🌱

What does this mean?

Boarding, lessons, and horse shows will still be available at Armour Ranch as we move into 2026!

Lucky Fox IEA will continue to grow and thrive under the Armour Ranch banner.

And we’re still here—Mandy and Marianne—working behind the scenes and excited to be part of the next chapter.

Thank you all for the love, support, and incredible memories we’ve made together. We’re beyond excited to see how the barn and the program continue to evolve, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us! We’re still part of this amazing journey.

Hug your horses and be thankful for them every day! ❤️🐴

Enjoy the walk down memory lane over some pictures from the last nine years ❤️

Trainer Tuesday: How would you train a rider who unconsciously shoves with their seat while riding to sit more quietly? - The Plaid Horse Magazine Welcome to Trainer Tuesday! Each week we ask trainers a question and gather their answers for you. These trainers have a range of experience, backgrounds, and focus points of their programs, so the answers have as much variation as you would expect and also probably much more similarity.  This week...

It’s not too late to enter tomorrow’s show!
This show is MTHJA rated, USHJA rated, and TIP rated! Classes from Poles through 2’9, and even assisted classes for the littles.
The weather looks great!
Jumpers start promptly at 8am!

Hey riders! Want more points?? Lucky Fox has MTHJA and USHJA sanctioned shows on October 4th (yes! This Saturday!) and Nov 23rd to get those points! Our shows are typically smaller so it’s a great chance for year end points! Dover and Franklin Saddlery gift certs for Champion both Hunter and Equitation divisions!
On a thoroughbred? Our shows are TIP ( thoroughbred incentive program) sponsored with awesome ribbons and prizes!
Riding the older school horse? The Smooth Sailing Award for oldest horse competing can be won once per show season (Smooth Sailing (Rajah) was 40 years old at his passing and competed 3mo prior to his passing).
Limited stalls available and parking in a big grass field. Schooling breaks at all heights.
Cool ribbons and an all-inclusive atmosphere. Classes from the baby very Green horses through 2’9 hunters and equitation.
Hope to see you this weekend and in November!!!

✨🐴 Big day at Lucky Fox Farm! 🐴✨

We are so proud to be hosting the first IEA show of the season today! The arena is prepped, the horses are ready, and our teams are set to shine. 🌟

This is more than just competition—it’s about teamwork, growth, and celebrating the passion we all share for riding. 💪💖

Wishing all riders the best of luck today—ride with confidence, support one another, and remember why you fell in love with this sport in the first place. 🦊🍀
