We are squeezing all the things into the last nice days. We got our delivery of new squares and rounds of alfalfa this week. Fresh hay is the best smell.

This past weekend I was able to travel to Bismark for a couple lessons with Amy Miller. Big thanks to Prairie Rose Training Center Dressage for putting on a wonderful clinic. It was a bit of a hectic weekend for me as my good friend got married in Minot, but Amy only comes three times a year. Ghazi and I have some awesome homework to hopefully start showing 4th level next year.

Our nice weather continues! We are so grateful for a long fall. Teddy is progressing in his bravery with the students. He isn't a very confident horse in general so I have been very picky about the students that ride him.

With all our nice weather we have been riding out in the pasture on Fridays. Last week was parent teacher conferences so Audrey didn't have school and helped out at the barn.

Recently one of my groups of students decided they wanted to try riding bareback. Overall they thought it was fun and nobody fell off! Always nice to have an enthusiastic group of lesson students.

This weekend we held our first horse camp. We had 5 students that participated. They did a craft, rode, and learned about the parts of briddles, and saddles. We also did a section on horse colors, horse breeds, and markings horses have. It went well and we will most likely do more in the future. Our goal is always that we educate our students on all things horses so that if they ever own one they are knowledgeable.

Last week I took Ghazi and Ritz to the vet. Ghazi got his hocks injected for the fall to help with his arthritis. He has this procedure done twice a year to keep him comfortable in his work. Ritz got his joints x-rayed to make sure his growth plates are closed. He passed his x-rays and now can go into full time work! Ritz had also been shaking his head when being ridden recently so we had his teeth looked at. He had some very sharp points that were causing him discomfort so he had a quick dental done too. Ritz was very well behaved for all his pictures and procedures. Both horses got microchiped as well. Next year our shows will require the horses to be microchiped.

On Thursdays we have the pleasure of having the Montessori school with us. This year there are 4 of them. Last week we showed them how to measure how tall the horses are with a special tape. Then when we were working on riding and the others were waiting they got to measure each other. The kids thought it was pretty cool. Sylvie wondered why all the kids were staring at her.

Occasionally some of our lesson students will be gone for their lessons and will ask me to ride their horse instead of doing a make up lesson. These are some of my favorite rides. I get to see and feel what the horses are doing for their owners and can come up with new exercises to help the owners when they come back. A few times I've even discovered that the horses knew way more than they seemed like they did for their owners. Pictured below is Cola owned by Cassie and Callie owned by SaRaya.

One of my group lessons has been working on trying to vault on their horses bareback after they are done with their lessons. This week Audrey was successful with a little help from her friends. Now she just has to be able to do it with her lesson horse Prince who is taller than Tolo.

Last week we made sure to take advantage of our warm weather and get some of the horses a final bath for the season.
