Monday, we meet again.

Even though the weekend is over and we are all back to work today. The club had some visitors yesterday! The grounds have been freshly worked 🤩 and we had a great group of horses and friends come ride and use the grounds the way they are supposed to be used.

You can pack up your horses and your friends and come down to the club and practice with poles, barrels, our obstacle course, even just riding around the club itself.

Join now and you can do the same! 😍🐴🛢️❤️

Another exciting event on the books!

02/10/2024

Alright guys,

Let’s talk about our monthly meeting we had last night. We had such a GREAT turnout! We all got to talk, laugh, discuss club business, and learn about our horses and their weights during these cold days. We even announced a SURPRISE raffle that is sure to get our hard working men and women around here interested and excited. If you are interested in the raffle please message Tori Taylor privately.

We have some big things coming to our riding club. We not only plan on having our best show season yet, but we cannot wait to meet all of the new horseback riders and their families and ponies this year. Not only to compete at shows, but to build lasting relationships and to help each other be the best horse people we can be.

2024 LET’S DO THIS! ❤️🐴🤘🏻
