Did you know when you aren't at the Ranch, there are LOTS of great #CitizenScience projects to get involved with? We are huge fans of getting out in nature and learning about #STEM topics!

Hello Volunteers, We need Lesson Aides for today's lessons from 1-4pm, tomorrow's lessons from 2-5pm, and Friday's lessons from 11am-5pm. Lesson Aide shifts are for horse leaders and side walkers, ages 18+ with no experience or ages 14+ with instructor approval. Aren't sure if you are instructor-approved to be a horse leader or side walker? Just ask us!... Remember, we need all volunteers to sign up for all shifts on SignUpGenius! If you are not signed up online, then you will not be able to volunteer. If you need to cancel your shift, we ask that you give us at least 24 hour notice to give us enough time to find a replacement volunteer. **Therapeutic riding will be on break from April 17th-April 30th, but we will still need help with our able-bodied lessons during that time.** Our riders and instructors appreciate your support in making these lessons happen! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourriders #loveourvolunters #volunteer #Carmel #Mustang #foreverhome

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Easter! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourvolunteers #Andy #Thoroughbred #Klaus #Paint #KlAndy #bestfriends #Spring2021 #bunnydisguise

Who has done this to you at the Ranch? Our Grooming Gang can probably come up with more than a few!

Lessons and all volunteering except for Barn Buddies is cancelled for Saturday. Stay safe and we will see you soon!Lessons and all volunteering except for Barn Buddies is cancelled for Saturday. Stay safe and we will see you soon!

Over half an inch of rain last night means lessons are cancelled again today and Abe and Eeda needed to move out of their flooded homes for a little bit. Our thanks to the amazing Barn Buddies volunteers who worked hard yesterday to make sure we had two stalls ready for our relocated horses! As always, Barn Buddies happens rain or shine so use SignUp Genius to join a shift, throw on your best pair of boots, and come say hello to BFFs, Smartee and Brighton, this afternoon. #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourvolunteers #BarnBuddies #stormyweather #Abe #Brighton #Smartee #aqha #Eeda #NorwegianFjord #foreverhome

A little sunshine , an excellent roll, and some running with friends is a great way to spend the day before another storm appears on the horizon. Be sure to sign up for our text alert system (https://iveyranch.com/text-alerts/) to receive information from the Ranch about volunteering and weather closures . Island and Roy highly recommend it! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #GroomingGang #Island #Thoroughbred #Roy #Holsteiner #BFFs #stormyweather

Horse history!

Baby Harlow is getting ready for some fun this week! We can't wait to see our riders and volunteers in their costumes! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourriders #loveourvolunteers #BabyHarlowAdventures #Halloween2020 #foreverhome

Want to meet some of the hardest working volunteers around? Introducing the Marines (and family members) of Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369 at Camp Pendleton. We are so grateful to this group for making our North Side barn look shiny and new again this weekend! Color was impressed too! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourvolunteers #USMC #SemperFi #HMLA369 #Color #Appaloosa #barncleaning2020 #grateful #foreverhome

We are having some fun this week at the daycare! Starting off Spirit Week with Disney Day (and a suspicious looking Minion....) and enjoying some cooler weather on the playground. #iveyranch #oceanside #iveyranchdaycare #loveourkids #Disney #SpiritWeek #Halloween2020

#tbt We are getting ready to have some fun next week with our riders wearing their costumes during lessons but thought it would be entertaining to share some of the classic moments from our Halloween Horse Shows of years past. 2016: The year it actually rained on our show and Milo, our part time caretaker, rode Abe in a gorilla suit! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourriders #loveourvolunteers #Abe #Quarter #aqha #monkeyingaround #Halloween2016 #Halloween2020 #foreverhome

We are looking for volunteers with regular experience assisting in lessons to help with our PATH OSWC! Horse leaders who are signed up for shifts will be helping with leading, tacking, holding and watering of horses that are a part of the workshop and testing. Not only will you be able to make this workshop successful, but you will also get to listen in on valuable workshop information for free! Here are the additional volunteer shifts we need help with: Thursday 10/15 9:30am...-12pm -- 3 horse leaders 1:45-2:45pm -- 1 horse leader (education on tack fitting and leading) 3:00-4:45pm -- 2 horse leaders (education on tack fitting and leading) Friday 10/16 9:30am-12:30pm -- 2-4 horse leaders (to alternate during lessons) 2:45-5pm -- 4 horse leaders (holding and watering horses) To sign up for these volunteer shifts email us at [email protected]

When your horse is confident he needs to make some changes to the obstacle course in the middle of your lesson.... #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourriders #loveourvolunteers #Carmel #Mustang #foreverhome

We're getting a little creepy and a little kooky at the barn this month! While we've had to cancel our annual horse show and Trunk or Treat event, that doesn't stop us from having some fun with the decorations! Our thanks to volunteer Carie Edner for making sure even our friends at the front gate are properly attired. #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourriders #loveourvolunteers #celebrate #LittleBit #Smartee #Brighton #Quarter #AQHA #foreverhome #Halloween2020

Things have been busy this morning! Our horses, riders, and volunteers have watched the fences get a much needed makeover this morning, courtesy of Teen Volunteers in Action and North Coast Church Carlsbad Pipeline. Thank you for helping us out! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourriders #loveourvolunteers #volunteer #grateful #Abe #AQHA #foreverhome #community

Whew! It has been another hot week but our horses on the south side now have their own misting system to keep them cool. #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #Andy #Klaus #Ariel #KlAndy #endlesssummer #foreverhome

Last week was the autumn equinox and Carmel's birthday (Happy 20th! ) but another heat wave approaches so our horses will continue to enjoy the misting system. #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #Carmel #Mustang #EndlessSummer #foreverhome

Here's our guy! It's Abe, looking happy and ready for a nap. We can't thank our volunteers and friends of Ivey enough for your continued support and love for our horses. #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourriders #loveourvolunteers #volunteer #donate #Abe #Quarter #AQHA #foreverhome

Name that nose! One of our volunteers donated hanging treat balls for our horses and by the looks of it, they are DELISH! Can you guess which horse has been enjoying theirs? Our thanks to Charlene who provided this enrichment activity for the horses to enjoy! #iveyranch #oceanside #loveourhorses #loveourvolunteers #volunteer #donate #checkoutthosewhiskers #foreverhome

Save the date! #IveyRanch
