The Move is ON
Looks like we will be closing on the house soon! Waiting on a new septic system to be put in. new owners and their horses are here, so I’m living in an RV parked in the drive way and we are helping each other take care of our horses. Great timing since I broke my wrist when a horse I was training ran over me and throw me up into the air with her front leg. I came down on my back and wacked my left arm on the ground, managing to crack my radius at the wrist like a egg shell. but its healing. And the move is happening in a few months Disconnecting the phone and internet this week
Summer plans coming together!!!
So I put some dates on the Camp page for 2 beginner camps!, Early for homeschoolers and one for later. These are the only Level 1 camps I’m having. Then I will have a few Level 2 camps and other riding opportunities. If the camps don’t feel up, That’s fine too. House is going on the market in May, Trailer is getting painted in June, Riding is happening 5 days a week and we are going to have a GREAT Summer!
Spring – Summer and then Gone!
I love Alaska. Have had some Great Rides, made lots of friends but the winters are not getting Easier! So its time we head south. This year I plan to ride over a 1000 miles! The horses have to make some money to pay for their trip south. So friends who have ridden with me before are welcome to come join on the fun rides. Instead of focusing on training kids, this summer, I am focusing on riding different trails! I’m not sure of prices or dates. I will have to have a few kids camps but I’ve only got a few horses as i’ve closed my boarding stables so most of my horses have new homes. I still have Monet, Monique, Tango, Shelby, Finn and America. I will post a calendar soon with prices, dates and times. I’m still doing my 4-h kids and their camps and then I’m working on my 1000 miles + of riding!!! Monty looking forward to see new people too! Email me with questions, comments or dates you might want to ride! walkers @ mtaonline.net See You on the Trails!
Drawing Down!
Well, EZ Walking has been Active in Alaska for more than 20 years but Now we are heading South to a bit warmer Winter Climate! So We are looking for a person to purchase our wonderful place and we will be moving out of state following the Alaska State Fair in the Fall of 2023. All the horses are taken care of, either they are heading south or a few will be starting new lives with new families here in Alaska. Don’t know if I’ll be running any riding camps this coming summer but might do a few for some of my riders who have been with me for a few years. My Helpers are all growing up too. So the time is right to move on down the road! I’ll put a new page up with what the place has for sale. I’m always open to suggestions to help make the right decisions as I don’t know if I’ll be coming back some in the summer or not but somewhere there is the answer we need to find to make this new plan all work out!
So Since Facebook as deactivated my EZ Walking Stables page, I guess I was having too much fun, I will try and update my web page. Maybe I’ll try and start a new facebook page ( I did but it said I already had one with my email address so I couldn’t. ) Not sure but know there will be changes coming up soon! So Stay Tooned or let me know what you are thinking if you have any suggestions. my email still works at walkers @ mtaonline.net. ( without the spaces of course)
Camps Have been Great!
Well we are drawing near the end of my Camps for this year. I am planning some Early Fall 1or 2 days horse activities so if you couldn’t make a camp, find out out the next Option! Also We will be at the Fair This year! So Stop by and say Hi!
My 4H Girls will be running the 4H Food Booth we are Calling it “The Chuckwagon” All proceeds goes to the girls for either collage or to help pay for their horses
Camps are not just for Kids! Adults are Welcome to Ride This year!
So this year I’m making the camps open to both young riders and their kids. There is so much information that I can put in the camp that it’s fun for everybody! I think the Mom and Daughter camp last year was about the best of the season!. So This year I’m doing it again!. Right now I have a pair in my June Camp. So join up early to get a Slot for you and your Mom!

What are we About?
We are About Riding, Practical Balanced Horsemanship. Being a partner with your horse and both you and the horse, enjoying Life!
Riding all over the place, both high and low. Work with folks of all ages who want to ride, own and enjoy horses. That’s what we do!!!
Its a place to Learn. A place to Ride. A Place to have fun with horses.We learn about horses. We Trail ride, We Work and We Enjoy Living.
Remember,
Laugh, Work and Ride!
A comment from one of my students the other day just about says it all.“I didn’t know all the things I don’t Know!” (she was talking about riding)
Well that’s it for now. I might add and update more of my pages soon….. So Remember, Ride today for you might not get to tomorrow.
What do we REALLY DO
We enjoy sharing our horses with folks who are not as lucky but would love to share the love affair we all have with horses. We do this by getting people involved with the horses.
Grooming, Riding, Cleaning, Doctoring, Loving, all in a day’s lesson. Our training grounds is mostly the wide outdoors. We teach riding by doing it. Going though the woods on winding trails, staying intone to your horse, relaxing, learning what to do when boggymen come calling. All in a day’s ride.
I’ve been told, I have just about the sweetest herd of horses around. This is due to good training on both horses and humans. We train both to become thinking partners and both appreciate it. Now we always have to have a leader, and I prefer the human to be that leader (though sometimes the horse might be the better choice).
If you would like to just learn about horses, ride out on trails and enjoy this beautiful place we call home, give Deb a call (745-0804). I work with all ages and abilities.
It can be scary at any age to learn to ride and control a horse. They are big, BEAUTIFUL, powerful, animals with a mind of their own. Our goal at EZ Walking stables is to help horses by educating their riders.
Students/New owners need support in order to obtain success with their horse partner. I want folks to be as successful with horses and have as wonderful of time as I have. So I teach how to respect the horse and earn his respect too. It is difficult for some people to trust a horse and even more difficult for a horse to trust them. My plan has the horse teaching. From the horse, you learn horse patience, trust, respect and how to communicate. After the first few lessons, then you have the basics and now just need ride to perfect your communicate skills with the horse.
On this site, we plan to provide numerous horse related help items. Since horses aren’t allow to use the Internet very often, they need your help to utilize this information. Owning a horse can be a large investment but we can make it an enjoyable and positive one.
Don’t Be caught Standing Around this year

Ride a Beautiful TN Walking Horse in the Great Alaska Outdoors and

There are cute story posted under Barn Stories
Here at EZ stables, we ride for pleasure. Everything we do with the horse is for pleasure, this includes our training. If the horse is having fun learning, then its fun for us to. Horses should not be expected to act like a robot, instead, he should be educated that working with humans can be exciting and interesting. Thus we try and develop working partnerships will all our horses and owners. This ensures that we are all having fun, and getting the most pleasure possible from our horses.
So if you want to get the most out of your horse on the trail or out for a simple pleasure ride, Deb at EZ Stables is who you should speak with. Come by the barn, see how every horse on the place is happy and wants to be with people. Horses are wonderful friends and if you want to experience, this the call or write today.
Remember Every time you are around, your horse is learning!
