STUDENTS!!

There will be no lessons the week between Christmas and New Years! Because riders pay for 4 lessons every month, regardless of if there are 4 or 5 lessons that month, invoices will remain the same for the month of December.

I will still be at the barn that week and those who own or lease are still more than welcome to be there. I do have a few horses left to lease if anyone is interested!

Sometimes we all need little breaks every now and then.

Some of my newer young riders are still figuring out what they want to focus on with their equestrian education. So they’re trying everything! Even things that initially make them uncomfortable! So pleased I had the opportunity to dig out my kid’s side saddle for Destiny and Dallas to try last weekend!

Exciting news!!!

KevyGo Riding is hosting a show on December 6th! And has invited us to join.

This is a great opportunity for riders who aren’t sure about the whole showing idea to have a chance to try it in a low stress atmosphere.

Spaces are limited and I will be prioritizing riders who don’t show at HEA so let me know if you’re interested as soon as possible!

Every year, in November, I get sad that our show season is over.

And every year in November I look back at my riders through the year and am impressed with how far they have come.

I spent the last 15 minutes trying to individually praise all my riders and horses and I was only 1/4 of the way through my list. So i had to move on.

Everyone stepped up this season. Everyone improved more than i expected. I literally cannot praise everyone for everything snd the improvements they’ve made because there are far too many of them.

My riders are amazing and my horses are amazing.

We showed up to (not pictured is Ashton and Bourbon, and Ayelet and Cookie, because they did a different height). Congrats to Chase and Ducky for winning the class, Lauren and Bourbon for getting fourth, Claire and Carter for getting fifth, and Edyn and Reba for their sixth.

I hope everyone made it to the AQHA Congress for shopping and fun this year! If you haven’t yet the trade show goes on until 10/26!

Here’s a video of yours truly showing at Congress as a teenager. I won’t admit to my age or the year!

Max and I at the 2002 congress doing jumpers. BNeither of us had ever done a course this high, so its a lttle rough

While I know she’s adorable and everyone will want to love on her, please don’t touch or go too near, the pony in the round pen. She’s a new arrival who came in with out vaccination records and an unknown history, so she’s in strict quarantine for a while.

Another FANTASTIC show weekend. Every single rider who came rode to the best of their ability and I couldn’t be more proud

Boarders and clients;

For a long time, pretty much as long as I’ve been in business, I’ve cut the “I like you” discount.

I truly love every single client I have and want to give them everything I can.

However, as I was accepting a second job offer this week, I realized I wouldn’t have to add another 20hrs of work onto my already 80 hr work week if I charged what I was worth.

So, if your invoice goes up because I have to charge for everything, please know i didn’t want to. If I can’t cut you that price break, or schedule that make up lesson, or charge you for wound care/abscess care/after hours care/etc…please know it’s not because I appreciate you less, but because I have to put myself and my family first. Theres only so much me to go around.

Bedding and grain both increased in price this week….

I will probably still be accepting the second job temporarily to catch up, but the hours are outside the hours im notmally here so horse care will not change

Now that Ashton is back in school Bourbon has to do a few lessons a week. I think he likes pretending to be the cross rails king!
