July 2019
It has been a while since I have gotten on here to update how things are going. We are thriving at Buffalo Ranch and are grateful for what we have going for us. Last year we ended with multiple champions and reserve champions in our ACTS program and are looking forward to finishing out this year strong. We have also had a lot of people join us this year in their riding journey and sadly have some people go but are grateful for each person we have had the chance to work with.
We currently have most of our horses available for a 1/4 or 1/2 lease. This is a great opportunity if you are thinking you want to own a horse or want to get serious about showing without the full cost of having your own horse. We are also offering a summer camp again that we will hopefully have as much fun as we have in the past. This will be in August and your rider can come for all 3 days or just sign up for single days. |
Our last big news is that I am now offering my photography services for more than just our yearly photo shoots. Contact me if you want to get some great pictures. I am still offering pictures with any of the horses, plus family and individual pictures.
Our next show is August 3rd at South Jordan followed by our big show in September.

March 2018 update
We are now located at Buffalo Ranch in Farmington, Ut. We feel so blessed to be at this amazing facility and back with Candy Torgenson and her group as we were close at Universal Equestrian Center.
March 2018
Show season is starting but our big news is WE ARE LEAVING HUNTER STABLES. Will update as soon as we are moved. Please be patient as we make this transition to a better facility. Thank you.
October/November 2017
Well we have survived our move to Hunter Stables, LLC. As we contintue to get settled in I hope that everyone is feeling good about the move. We loved our time at UEC and are still saddened to see it close but are grateful to Jeff and Abbey Wright (new owners of Hunter) for being willing to keep Hunter open to horses and to work with us in cleaning the place up.
I want to remind everyone as we get into winter it WILL GET COLD!! PLEASE dress appropriately. I do not want to have riders wanting to end their lessons early due to getting cold. Hand/foot warmers and thermals are great to help keep warm.
Also, be on the lookout for our Annual holiday Christmas party! I am thinking about having it towards the end of November or early December on a Wednesday. Be on the look out for those dates!
If you have any concerns about lessons or other issues please bring them to my (Amanda's) attention and I will try to rectify the issue/concern.
If you signed up to get your picture taken please bring a USB for me to give you the pictures I took.
Also, NOW is the time to let us know if you are planning to show or not. Leasors WILL have priority to show but we probably will have some room for those who are not. Now is the time to get that planned so we can prepare.
Thank you everyone for supporting us and I am ready to close out this year and bring on the new!

August 2017
This has been quite the few months. Universal Equestrian Center, which has been our home, is being forced to close its doors to developers. We are hopeful that Jed will be able to find a new place to run UEC but for now we are moving to Hunter Arena! I had spent a few years at this barn before going off to college and know that it can be a fun place to be. We will be working on cleaning up the place and giving it a face lift. We are lucky that we found a place only 6 minutes away from UEC. We will also be preparing for our final big show of the year the last week of September. Wish our girls luck as they work on their final show. Feel free to come watch them compete at the South Jordan Equestrian Center. Talk to me about times they will be showing.
February 2017
We had quite the year! I am so proud of the 5 girls who showed (3 for the first time). We left the ACTS program this year with 1 champion, 3 reserves, and a 5th. Now we are gearing up towards this coming show season. We currently have 7 showing with a possible few others. We are also excited to have Marie officially teaching lessons on the weekends. She is excited and can't wait to develop that relationship with her students.
March 2016
As you can tell I am not great at updating the news section. 2015 was a great year for Luki Arabians. We had two girls show in the ACTS classes and both of them won a division! Congrats to Fei and Jocelyn for the great job! Now we have 6 riders who will be showing this year with maybe a few others doing fun shows. I am looking forward to all that excitement and work.
We also had a great summer camp and are anxious to see who will come to our camp this year.

April 2015
April has been a crazy but awesome month! We got Zeke, Cash, and Tango to the barn. Found out that Razz is staying through the summer, and two of the girls had their first big show and they did fantastic! We are ready for summer and look forward to having more fun times together with our horses. :)
March 2015
Again time has flown by! We are busy trying to get ready for two (hopefully more join as we get going) of our girls to start showing in the big arabian shows by competing in the ACTS program which is a money friendly beginner program to get kids ready to compete with everyone else.
We have also found Ace his forever home and we couldn't be more excited for him and his new owners. Luckily we should still be able to see him from time to time.
We will be doing one mini session of summer camp June 30-July 1st. Sign up is due by May 15th.
We have also started up our student of the months! We have Kari for March and Fei was in Feb.
Fei started riding when she was 5 years old. She rode saddleseat on American Saddlebred horses at La Fleur Stables in Madison, WI. Then Fei and her family moved to Utah and she started hunt seat and western. Fei enjoys PV (Pravail) because he is really funny and sweet. Some of Fei’s goals are to start showing more and win champion in walk/trot/canter and get better at showmanship. Another goal she has is to start showing western.
We love having Fei around. Make sure to say hi when you see her with Pravail who she is half leasing.

Kari has been taking riding lessons for a year and she loves it! She loves all the horses but Dega is her favorite to ride. Kari is thirteen years old and goes to Centerville Junior High. She loves art; drawing, painting, and crafts. She also plays the piano. More than anything else Kari loves animals of every kind. She has two dogs and a fish. She loves to take care of and be around all animals including spiders and rats. She plans on being a Veterinarian and is considering specializing in equestrian care. Learning about the care of horses as well as how to ride them has been a great experience for her.
December 2014
It amazes me at how fast the year flies by! First I would like to welcome Jessie and her horse Sonora who have joined the team. They are great and I hope everyone can meet them.
Christmas is just around the corner and now is the time to decide if you want to show this coming year! Leasing a horse gets you first dibs, or you can even get a horse of your own show that way too. Talk to me if you have any questions about this route. Showing is a lot of fun and teaches sportsmanship, hard work, attention to detail and is just a lot of fun!
I also have a few Christmas deals going on right now if you know someone who is interested in seeing what we are like pass along the info that is posted at the barn. We also have t-shirt and sweatshirt orders going in and if you would like one please sign up on the board.
I just want to thank everyone who is a part of this group! I appreciate the opportunity that Krysta and I have to teach such great people! Let's finish out 2014 in style!

October 2014
I can't believe we are already in October! Lesson slots have filled up and we have a waiting list! Hopefully I can find the times to fit everyone in who is wanting to ride! I also want to invite anyone who wants to come check out the barn, we have been working on giving it a face-lift and it looks AMAZING! I love how big and spacious the stalls are!
We will be having a Halloween party at the end of the month. This will be full of games with and without the horses. I hope that everyone who wants to come will be able to make it.
We are also starting to gear up for the show season next year. If you are interested in showing in fun shows or going to the bigger shows next year, please get a hold of me so I can get you on a list and we can work towards your goal of showing.
Finally, I do have a few spots open to take horses in training. I enjoy working with all kinds of horses and love having them progress and improve. I appreciate those to trust me with their horses now and allow me to fulfill my dreams of working with horses. And thank you to those to let me teach your children. We have a great group!

April 2014
A lot has happened over the winter. Psy and Kool have found new homes. I want to congratulate Ryanne Fedak for her purchase of Poseidon (now Romeo) and Rebecca Hannah on her recent purchase of S.W. Kool Runnings. I hope that both of you love those guys like I did. :)
Another very exciting thing is Pravail (PV) is back as a lesson horse. He will be a great asset to the program.
We have show season coming up with fun shows for everyone and B shows for those who are looking into putting a little more into it. Please let me know if you are interested in competing in any since horses and space is limited.
We have also decided to do a horse camp in June! We are VERY excited for this adventure and hope to make it memorable for everyone involved. Please pass the word along to anyone you may know who would be interested.
We also have some lesson spots available for anyone looking to take lessons.
Thanks for all the support and great people you are!

Well we are now in full swing in the school year schedule. We did good in the Utah State Fair which was a first for a couple of our riders.
We are excited to have Krysta start taking on beginners a couple times a month. And welcome all new students!
There will be just a few fun shows left this year, if you are interested in going, let me know. Thanks everyone for all the fun! I love this job!

Show season is just around the corner. If any students would like to show in either fun shows or rated shows, please talk to me about costs and what you will need to purchase to participate.
I have a list at the barn of different shows that you can participate in. :)
