About the Owner

From a very young age, Courtney's love for horses was undeniable. At just five years old, her parents, Dana and Craig, would often find her sitting by the window, watching their neighbor, Beth Short, ride. It wasn't long before Courtney began taking lessons herself, learning to ride and spending nearly every free moment at the barn—whether she was in the saddle or simply enjoying the company of the horses.

In 2018, Courtney decided to explore a new discipline, and her parents purchased her very first Tennessee Walking Horse, a gelding named Boykin. Together, Courtney and Boykin traveled to shows across multiple states, earning numerous high point awards. Not long after, the family welcomed another Tennessee Walking Horse to the barn—All Bling'd Out, affectionately known as Ellie. Ellie quickly became Courtney's "heart horse" and still holds a special place in the barn today and Courtneys heart today. 

Inspired by her deep passion for horses, Courtney decided to share that love with others. She began by giving riding lessons to local children, and before long, she fulfilled her dream of opening her own boarding facility. As Courtney often says, "None of my dreams would have come true without the support of my parents, Dana and Craig Vaughan."
