Horse ranch in Utah hangs its halters for the last time

By Corryn La Rue

Green Acres Stables, a horse boarding ranch in Willard, Utah, decided to close its doors permanently this month. Green Acres Stables owner Terry Teeples said the reason for closing was personal, and that it was not an easy decision to make.

“The decision to close our doors was a hard one, and one we struggled with making for years,” Teeples said. “It was my home and my life. I loved that ranch, but it was that time in my life where we had to shut our doors.”

Teeples wouldn’t comment on the exact reason for closing.

The stable held 20 horses at full capacity and “had all the amenities a horse lover could want,” said Joel Martinez, a ranch-hand that lived at the stables. “I really liked working there. I made money and then sent it back to my family at home, in Mexico. My son is going to college and I would send him money to help pay for it. I am going to miss it.”
