Yesterday we took a group of wonderful ladies to school at Pine Hill. Always a wonderful experience.

Very busy well-being days here at Scissortail. Capstone Saddlery yesterday to make sure all of our athletes attire is well fitted, followed by diagnostic work with Dr. Norton, and today chiropractic and PEMF treatments. Some happy partners here.

An absolutely beautiful day to waste many hours at the barn. The footing in our grass arena has greatly improved with some TLC and a healthier grass life cycle happening. We hope to be back to using it in the December show and hope that the upcoming rain helps heal the rest of the cracks on the cross country course!

The diversity and welcoming atmosphere of our competitions is widely known and celebrated. If you're looking for a fun, laid-back, yet positively competitive experience, consider our next show in December, as well as participating in the next next show season at scissortail!

Trips to Dr.Moore, our local equine dental specialist, are always interesting. We also love spreading knowledge and offering learning opportunities. Ginger will be featured in one of his educational videos so that other vets can learn from her case.

There is nothing better for the inside of a man, as the outside of a horse.

Nice lesson last night while the storm brewed in the West. Some great lightning over the barn. It's been a long time since we've seen lightning.

Lots of wonderful riders and horses got us off to a great start this morning. Slight sprinkles now (which everybody is happy to have) and our Jumpers have started in the covered arena.

Sometimes it's good to be different. It can end up being pretty fun 🙂 our steeplechase contingency plan is working out quite nicely this morning.

A nice fast forward of one of our Novice riders breeze thru the Obstacle Phase of today's competition.

Trail-A-Thlon Phase 3 Technical pattern walkthrough. The Technical pattern is our most challenging pattern for this weekend's event. Here is a virtual walkthrough that you can watch for the next 2 days to feel more familiar with the spacing. Decorations are to come. Schooling will be open prior to the start of ride times. Ride times will be released this evening.

Hope everybody had a safe holiday yesterday and is taking advantage of the long weekend to video virtual patterns for next weekend's Trail-A-Thlon. Here is a great example of where your video should be filmed from and about how much horse and Rider you would like to keep in the frame so that the judge can clearly see what's going on. Make sure to announce your Rider at the beginning of the pattern either with speech or text overlay. Then upload your video to the Google drive file that you have received a link to in the confirmation email. If you have any trouble uploading your videos, please let us know! Tomorrow we will be releasing technical patterns so people can have a heads up of what to expect for their Phase.3. we will also release a basic list of obstacles that will be seen in the Obstacle phase.

Everyone in Texas can relate, especially those on the black clay.

Always thankful for our little covered arena in weather like this. Even though part of it has received a good bit of rain, we are still able to continue our challenging pole exercises and their progression to grid work. Don't let this clip of Sophie and Gambler fool you 🙂 the rest of the arena is filled with poles upon poles upon poles!
