I’m so sorry I hadn’t posted the show sooner for everyones’ information.  Time is going tooooo fast.  We will have a school show here at the stable to help riders preparing to compete outside the stable, and for the general fun for all who wish to compete.  Check out the Show page to see which division you’d like to participate in.  You won’t need to sign up till the week before the show, or the day of the show is fine too.  Hope to see you here.

We had a great time once again at Hazelwild farm in Fredricksburg.  Katie and Gidgette took home a reserve Champion, Alana and Stormy,  McKenzie and PJ and Stephanie and Cutty all took home good rides and ribbons.   Looking forword to going again March 5th.

Karina Simone took her new horse Venus and had a great day pinning 6th after Dressage and going clean in stadium and near perfect in cross country.  Emma Barnard moved CA Stormy up to a new height and show level and performed their smoothest dressage test yet!  Alana Ballard competed with CA Grace and rode their hearts out!  Stephanie Nelson took CA Cutty Sark to his first Event and rode to an 8th place ribbon.  Jessica Christian and Intriguing Mist rode to an 5th place ribbon and McKenzie McMillian and CA Precious Jim rode to a First Place ribbon – 3rd in Dressage in Beginner Novice.

We had alot of fun at the Scavenger hunt today.  Horses are so unpredictable and the wind picked up right when we began but all held their cool and behaved pretty well.  Jigsaw got a bit upset when provoked by grace and milkshake, but Janet handled herself and brought all in safely.  Ariel didn’t like the gun shots off in the distance, and her rider brought her back and switched off with Milkshake.

Cutty showed his butt too, his rider made him continue by leading him through the course.  It makes me proud when riders use their head and keep themselves safe.

FINAL SUMMER CAMP

Our final camp of the summer begins on Monday – we’re planning on a great week with lots of jumping!  Let’s hope the temperature stays down for everyones’ sake.  We’ll attend a Hunter/Jumper show on Saturday Aug. 21st to end up the Summer Outside show fun we’ve been having.  Still haven’t forgotten about the Fall school show – lets let it cool down a bit!

Summer camp Week #1 starts Monday – We’re looking forward to a fun Summer!

Riding lessons will continue during the Summer at the same schedule as during the School year.  We hold summer camp mornings from 8:30 – 12:30.  We take the middle of the day off – it’s too hot for horses and riders alike.  We begin again at 3 and hold lessons into the evening hours with hopes of it cooling off.  Please bring water with you and dress with light colored clothing.  Boots and helmets are manditory.  With Riders off school, we can be flexable with morning hours on the weeks that there is no camp.  So come ride and have fun.  See you at the stable……..

We’re about a month out from the start of Camp and we are ready for a great time!!  If you’ve returned your camp sign up – GREAT.  If not we still have room in Camp 1 – 3 -4 and 5.  So grab a friend and sign up for alot of summer horse fun.
