*We, at The Mounting Block, sincerely apologize for the delay in getting the website
updated. Our primary internet guru, MJ, has been whisked away to Mississippi with her
Army unit and has not been able to get the site updated until now..
Calling all creative types! The Mounting Block needs a new logo!
We are planning on ordering barn jackets this year and have decided that
we need something different. So...drum roll please...we are having a
contest! Please submit your ideas to JJ and Tom between now and February
28th. A winner will be chosen on March 1st and the winning design will be
featured on our new jackets!
To submit your entry, please create a logo using no more than two colors.
Remember, your design will be used on jackets and shirts, so avoid
excessive detail that will make it hard to print.
All entries become the property of The Mounting Block and will not be
returned.
Contact us for more details and have fun!
Now for updates:
We are sorry to see Jessica and Glory leave the barn, but know that their
move to a barn closer to Jessica's home will allow them both to see more of
each other! We wish them the very best of luck in the future.
We will be offering our summer camp again this year. Information for camp
will be posted by March 1st. This year will be our best year ever! Join us on
your school break to get a taste of what camp at The Mounting Block is all
about! Visit our school break camp page for more details.
We are in the process of purchasing a new (to us) horse trailer. After
spending last summer making trip after trip to horse shows and Pony Club
riding lessons, we have decided to purchase a larger rig. Many thanks to
Michaele and her husband Ken for their patience and understanding
throughout this transaction! Since safety is our priority, we hunted for a
trailer that allowed us to reach each horse in case of emergency. This six
horse slant load trailer has separate loading doors for each horse, and
human size escape doors for each stall. No more ducking under dividers!
Check out our new rig!

Lastly, although it's only February and there's still snow on the ground,
Spring is right around the corner. We plan to be out and about this year at
shows, schoolings, clinics, and events. Beginning March 1st, we will be
adding a calendar listing activities we will be participating in. If any of them
strike your fancy, let us know and we'll give you more information.
Till next time, stay warm and keep riding!
