We have our last two show series this fall and we want to make it extra special for all our riders.
Instead of just one rider getting a prize at the end of the series, we aim to have an award for riders in ALL divisions 1-6th place and a prize for ALL the Leadline riders.
To help keep the show entry fees low, we look to sponsors for help in offsetting some of the costs of these awards. This can be a business, a family or even an individual that would like to help us out.
With help in our awards department, more funds can be directed towards improving our facility and making the show experience better and better for everyone.
If you are interested in sponsorship, send us a PM and we can get you set right up!

Celebrate Labor Day with us at our final 'twilight show' (make your from last week) this Monday Sept 2nd!
Fun for all ages! Beginners and green horses always welcome!
It's an almost-Labor Day Miracle! Thanks to the amazing folks at Outdoor Solutions Landscaping, Inc and Supplies and Onyx Land Clearing & Excavation and Patrica L who made it all happen- we have literal tons of sand just waiting for our amazing neighbor Chris from CRU Paintball LLC to spread out for us.
There are drainage ditches being dug as we speak!
We are so excited to have safe footing for all our horses and riders and can't thank everyone enough for making this happen- especially Genesee County Fair and Agricultural Society!
Can't wait to see everyone on Monday!
After talking to and getting feedback from as many of our riders as we could, we've decided to move the show to Monday.
While we hate moving and messing anyone's schedules up-
We are super excited becuse this give us time to have sand dropped tomorrow and will give us a few days to get it dragged in and settled. So hopefully our footing will be safe and consistent going foreward.
We want to say thank you for your patience with some of the weather-challenges we've faced, and will have free uploads of Mondays show available to all, a link will be provided after the show.
Shows theme is still the same -GLITTER- and we have some fun prizes for best dressed.
We will have concessions on site.
Mondays forecast is low 70s, Sun and not a rain cloud in sight.
After our show we will have the awards ceremony and 1-6th place in all divisions get prizes!
Check in starts at 1130. With the daytime show, we won't have to run the leadlines separate, we won't have to pull a class or hand awards out in the dark
Thank you to Patrica L and Onyx Land Clearing & Excavation for helping out with our sand delivery!
Hey everyone! It's that time of the week that I come to you with a weather report. Our area was plagued with storms on Tuesday and it just started raining again.
This is the current state of the arnea with plans to drag tomorrow.
However with more rain we're a little worried that we won't have time to dry up and make the footing safe for everyone. The next 7 days on a whole look to be hot, dry and sunny.
So.
While we hate to do this again- we want to know your thoughts and then go with the majority in regards to the last twilight show scheduled for Aug 29
1. Keep it Thursday 29 regardless. Drag. Run in the conditions we may have.
2. Cancel and move to Labor Day during the late morning/early afternoon
3. Cancel and move to next Thursday September 5, take the mystery class off so we finish as early as we can on a school night.
4. Another option idea ?

We loved seeing everyone cheer for everyone and we can't thank ya'll enough for being a part of such a great series of shows.
The thanks yous;
