We have had several people ask how to support the kids and we can not thank those people enough.

The Bonnie Blue National Horse Show is a national-level horse show held in Lexington VA. Horses travel from all over the country to compete. This year they have added Academy classes for the first time.

Being able to show on the national level is a big deal and having that caliber of a show so close to home is a privilege. Unfortunately, the show did not make the announcement about having academy until after we had already made our academy schedule. Having our team be able to show here would be amazing. The estimated cost per kid is $500. If we could raise a little money for each kid it would enable them to have this opportunity

We have created a shirt fundraiser to help support the team attending the show.

Copied and it’s worth reading…

As we enter Horse Show Season
1. Horses don’t get broke at home. Be brave and enter!
2. EVERY disappointment at the show is a learning opportunity..... Be humble, be open to change.
3. Everyone gets nervous. Everyone has bad days. Everyone makes mistakes. Literally: EVERYONE!
4. Don’t watch others in the warmup ring and start changing what you have been doing - if you see something cool or you want to step up your game that’s homework for after the show!
5. When we run out of knowledge, we often punish our horses. Seek help instead.
6. Be a competitor! But be a horseman first. There is always someone watching who sees you as a role model.
7. Supporting your fellow competitors and engaging with people will enrich your show life.
8. Know the rules of competition! Make sure your attire and tack is legal. Read the rule book, ask questions and be well prepared.
9. Have FUN, don’t sweat the small stuff!

Homeschool families ask and you shall recieve.

Homeschooling with Horses
At Hidden Creek Stables

What is Homeschooling with Horses?
Homeschooling with Horses is an Equestrian Science homeschool and after school program for Equine Enthusiasts ages 7-15. Semesters are 3 weeks in length with options to participate once weekly. At the end of each semester there will be a Homeschooling with Horses Show for our students to compete in a variety of horse related areas with a speech, presentation, and in-hand horse show.

Does my child need to know how to ride?
Riding is not a requirement or prerequisite for our program. Students will gain equine knowledge while also working on proficiency in literacy, mathematics, science and history. Students will learn to ride, drive, long line, and lunge horses as well as complete basic barn chores. Students will also have book work type assignments for the academic components.
What material is covered?
Students will learn all the ins and outs of stable management. All products needed to run the business side. How to set up a budget. Learning is done through book work and hands on. Students will be assigned a written and speech topic at the beginning of each semester.

Class will be held Mondays from 4-6 starting on April 8.
Cost for class is $120
