OUR STORY
White Pines Stable is more than just a farm, it’s our family’s way of life. Nestled among the tall pines of Forest Lake, Minnesota, our little corner of the world was built from a dream of living closer to the land, raising our son around animals, and sharing meaningful experiences with others.
We’re a family of two full-time working parents who decided that life doesn’t have to be all hustle, it can also be heart. When we’re not at our day jobs, we’re collecting eggs with our little one, mucking stalls, playing with baby chicks, or saddling up for a lesson in the arena.
What began as a passion for horses, animals, and farm life naturally grew into something we could share with our community. Today, we offer beginner horseback riding lessons, farm-fresh eggs, and wellness services in a welcoming environment where visitors of all ages can slow down, connect with nature, and create lasting memories.
At White Pines, we believe in doing things the right way with care, with kindness, and with a lot of heart. Every animal has a name, every rider receives a warm welcome, and every guest becomes part of our extended farm family.
Thank you for supporting our family farm. We can’t wait to welcome you into our world.

OUR STORY


Together, Lance, Malea, and Bryce have built a welcoming place where horses, learning, and simple moments in nature bring people together.
The Family Behind White Pines
Instructor
Malea Dageford
Hi, I'm Malea! I've loved horses for as long as I can remember, and dressage has been a lifelong passion. I'm happiest in the saddle, but I also love teaching riders of all ages and helping White Pines feel like home. For me, this farm is truly a dream come true.

Ranch Hand
Bryce Dageford
Hi, I'm Bryce! I'm the youngest member of the team, and I love animals of all kinds. I help out around the farm however I can, whether it's feeding chickens, tackling chores, or running around with the dogs. I love being part of life at White Pines Stable.

Horse Husband
Lance Dageford
Hi, I'm Lance. Known as the "horse husband," always cheering Malea on and helping wherever I can. When I'm not tackling chores around the farm, you'll usually find me out running or braving an icy cold plunge. I may not be the rider of the family, but I love being part of White Pines Stable.
