Over the Fence

Hello all!

Despite the frost on the ground this morning, Spring is on its way. The show season is right around the corner and while it seems like our horses will NEVER stop shedding, soon summer coats will be bright and shiny. The mud will be gone and so will sweatshirts, blankets, and thoughts of snow.

We'll be listing a few three phase horse trials that are coming up on our forms page. We have no relationship with any of these organizations, other than being part of the same horsey community. If you need additional details on any of them, please contact the individuals listed on the information pages.

Now for barn news!!

Congratulations to Aphrodite on her purchase of Magic! This is a belated announcement, but better late than never.

Also, congrats go to Austin on his acquisition of Heffy. We know you guys will be a good match and wish you the best of luck together.

We want to recognize our Pony Club members as well: Aly, Katie, and Sarah. Although we are not a Pony Club organization, we believe wholeheartedly in its teachings and encourage all our students to get involved. We hope you have a lot of fun this year!

 Finally, we would like to personally thank each and every individual who's stuck with us over the winter. Despite biting cold and freezing winds, it was a joy to see you all every lesson, smiling faces pink with cold. Your enthusiasm and dedication is infectious and makes it possible for us to continue doing what we love!

Since eventrider showed JJ how to do  this you may as well know puns are going to be running rampant.  If you don't know what a pun is, check the spelling of the word "whether" .  People who come here have to decide whether to  ride or not and alot of times the weather has a lot to  do with the decision.  We had a couple of good days where the footing allowed a ride on the creek trail to  be part of the lesson.  What a thrill to be on a horse that suddenly came alive at walk, trot and canter outside the ring!  You could just see the winter cobwebs blowing away.  I find it easier to  find and hold my position on a mount that is truly interested in going forward.  And there is so much to see this time of year.  The creek is roaring with energy,  animals are going about their business,  but the best is trying a turn on a narrow trail bordered with pricker bushes.  Really makes a horse and rider pay attention!
