This month, we wanted to highlight another one of the amazing families here at CRC, the Fitzgeralds!
Sandi started riding in the early ‘90s after her girls but has been at Cottonwood for 4 1/2 years! She owns a gorgeous Clydesdale/QH cross named Elphie. Sandi plans to continue refining her riding skills and enjoy riding in the years to come. She loves the wonderful people she has met at Cottonwood and has loved being able to explore jumping, dressage, and gymkhana.

Carlynn started riding at age 7 and has a cute fjord cross named Olaf! She plans to train Olaf to be a cute little hunter for her kids to learn and grow on and hopefully get a young horse to train and show as well. Carlynn’s favorite part about Cottonwood is the community and support.

Grace has been riding since she was two! She hopes to trail ride all the way to Chatfield before winter with Olaf and start cantering on him before next summer. Her favorite part of Cottonwood is trail riding and Pony Camp!

Claire also started riding when she was two and has been hanging out at Cottonwood her whole life! She just wants to ride and play with Olaf and Elphie but loves all the horses at Cottonwood. Claire also loves to graze Olaf in the cross country field. 🦄💕

This month, we wanted to highlight another one of our amazing families, the Schweid/ Shurnas family!

First up is Libby! Libby has been with us since 2010, but has been riding since she was 8! Her horse is Lui, an irish sport horse. Her goals are wanting to compete with ease and confidence! She likes Cottonwood because of its family feel , access to the trails , great friendly ambiance and ability to compete at shows.
Next is Chelsea, Libby’s daughter! Chelsea Started riding at 7 but came to CRC almost 14yrs ago. Her horse is Gru, a Canadian sport horse. Chelsea’s goal is to show at 1.10m & her favorite part of Cottonwood is that it’s her home away from home where the rest of the world melts away.
Lastly is Hamden & Maelyn, Chelsea’s daughter and Libby’s Granddaughters!
Both girls started riding at 3 years old and own Pearl, a welsh mustang pony & Toby a cute pinto. Hamden hopes to show at a meter and Maelyn wants to do the 2’3 jumpers with Toby this summer. They love Cottonwood because of the beautiful trails and the amazing community.
We are so lucky to have this amazing family with us and are so excited to see all of them grow and reach their goals!💗

This summer, we wanted to highlight some of our amazing families here at Cottonwood.
First up is Tara and Hannah Nus. Tara and Hannah have been with us since 2014!
In 2016, Tara bought her thoroughbred, Lil’ Bit who she has been riding ever since. Tara’s goals for the summer are to continue working on the basics and have fun with Lil’ Bit. Tara’s favorite part about Cottonwood is the variety of things you can do with your horse!
Hannah started jumping when she was 8, and then found her Fjord Sven a few years later. Hannah hopes to take Sven to pony finals and compete at 1.0m. Hannah loves how supportive everyone is at Cottonwood!
We are so lucky to have Tara and Hannah with us and we can’t wait to see them accomplish their goals! ❤️🤩
