Animals in need of a home would do well to head to Rainbow Ridge Farm Equestrian Center, where owner Lorie Miller and her ever-patient husband have collected an assortment of beasts from geese to goats in addition to the farm's many horses. Miller even earned her 15 minutes of fame a few years ago by performing CPR and reviving a chicken that had fallen into a pond. The 20-stall barn includes two tack rooms, two grooming stalls, a round pen and a wash stall with hot and cold water. A jump course and barrels are available. All breeds of horses and all disciplines are welcome.
Full care includes daily turnout, feeding, cleaning and worming.
Rainbow Ridge has two instructors. She helps to start young horses and restart older problem horses. Ahlers, the daughter of a veterinarian, has a B.S. in Animal Sciences from Cornell University and trained with Kenny Harlow, Melissa Simms, Bonnie Bonello. Lynn Laskowski, Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, and Dave Kluge. She events her horses, Jerry and Connie.
