Funfetti Farms isn't just a name. It is a tribute to the horse who started it all!

​

The story begins with Confetti, Lisa’s very first horse and the heart of Funfetti Farms. Confetti came into Lisa’s life through an equine training and rehabilitation class associated with the Right Horse Initiative at Colorado State University. ​Confetti was one of the oldest horses in the group, on and off lame and anxious, but she stood out with her spotted coat and quirky personality. Gaining her trust took time and patience, but it was worth every moment. Just as Confetti began to blossom, the pandemic hit, and she was set to return to a local rescue. Lisa made the last-minute decision to adopt her. She had always dreamed of owning a horse and simply could not give up on Confetti or the progress they had made together.

 

Once home, Lisa and Confetti began exploring trails and playing around with different disciplines. Lisa quickly discovered Confetti’s love for adventures and swimming at local state parks. One day, some friends asked if their kiddo could ride, and Confetti quickly discovered a special love for her tiny humans. She blossomed into a wonderful lesson horse, loving all the attention that came with being groomed, braided, and decorated, especially when carrots were involved.

​

Confetti kickstarted Lisa’s passions for both training and teaching. What started with one horse and a dream eventually grew into Funfetti Farms, a place built around the same values Confetti taught Lisa from the very beginning: patience, trust, fun, and the importance of creating meaningful connections with horses.

​

Over the years, Confetti has touched the lives of so many people. Her name inspired the playful and joyful spirit of our farm, much like her vibrant personality. Now partially retired due to age and health issues, Confetti enjoys her days in a large pasture with friends, still participating in some lessons and serving as the beloved mascot of Funfetti Farms.
