Bushtail Barn is Bumblewood’s premier squirrel training, riding, and boarding facility. It is owned and operated by Ms. Flickabelle, a mica medal-winning champion squirlestrian. Handling and riding these nimble, chatty, and often challenging rodents is both a skill and an art. Ms. Flickabelle has retired from competition and now enjoys teaching others to ride and care for her beloved squirrels. Banks Brothers Ranch supplies feed and bedding for the squirrels who are boarded at Bushtail Barn, in exchange for wagon training the Banks’ team of extra squirrelly squirrels.
Courtnay lives in the Cooper Park neighborhood of Bozeman with her husband and two dogs: a Springer Spaniel named Rosie and a long-haired Chihuahua mix named Pippen. They also have a Thoroughbred mare named Bella (part of the inspiration for the barn and its fairy owner’s name.) Teddy lives in Seattle where she is getting her Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. They also have a son/brother in college in Virginia. Courtnay is a psychotherapist, and she loves to ride, fish, and make art, especially ceramics. She loves RAS and the work they do. It seems that especially in these times magic, fantasy and silliness are much needed. You can find Courtnay on Instagram.
