Our History
|
| Annie, the horse who started it all |
Lazy M Stables is owned and operated by caring and knowledgeable
horse people Billene and Ron McClung. The advent of the ranch came about in 1992 when "Grandma" purchased a beautiful Arab
for her ten year old granddaughter. The McClungs searched all over for a place to keep her; finally they stumbled onto this
five acre tract.
At that time all that was here was a neglected arena and a tiny 3 bedroom house. The rest of the
grounds consisted of weeds and blackberry bushes; it was not a pretty sight. The McClung's looked past the falling down facility
and the weeds and had visions of a full facility boarding stable. Starting with five horses, they began a lot of hard work.
The facility, as it is now, just evolved. Some of the most important factors in the design of this facility were the safety
of horse and rider, environmental concerns and to incorporate this plan within budget. We strive to consistantly give top
care to the horses and facility.
When we started in this venture our knowledge of this business was narrow, over the
years we have learned so much. Several of our horse owners have been with us from the startup and have taught us a lot about
horses and their specialized needs. We believe it was our many years in business that has helped with the success of this
ranch

Where we are now
Now we have two 50' x 70' indoor arenas and a large lighted outdoor
arena. There are many Stalls, pastures and paddocks around the facility. That little 3 bedroom house is now a beautiful 3
stall barn. In consideration of the environmental needs the horse compost is hauled off site once a week for recycling. Our
facility has consistently stayed clean and is an enjoyable place for all of our "Barn Family"
Some of those original
boarders who helped us start this stable are still boarders today. We are so happy to see the versatility of our boarders.
Many of our boarders attend shows (both gaming and pleasure riding) to cheer eath other on. Some do a lot of trail riding.
All disciplines of riding are welcome here at Lazy M Stables. One can usually find some of the kids working their English
and Western Pleasure for the 4H shows on the weekends in one arena. In the other arena you can probably find a big QH and
his owner going over their gaming patterns. One thing that you will always find a Lazy M stables is a lot of wonderful children
and adults having a great time with their horses.
Annie with Melissa, Billene's Granddaughter, in 2005. The two of them are the reason Lazy M exists
as it does today. To provide a safe and fun place for young riders and their horses.
