Today, we mourn the loss of an extraordinary horse—one of the gentlest souls to ever grace our lives, with the heart of a lion. It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to RWC HS I'm A Big Deal, lovingly known as Dealer. Loved by all that met him, but especially the Denison family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lily, Sara and Chad on this difficult day. He was truly a remarkable presence in all our lives, and he will be deeply missed. Rest easy, dear Dealer. Trot free and shine bright in the sky above, where you can put on a beautiful show.

Suncoast Stables Winter Horsemanship day 3!
Today the campers split into pairs to get either Tye, Fortune, Erec or Carrington groomed and tacked up!
After the horses were ready, we split into two riding groups!
In the riding arena every camper worked on their own personal lesson plan from beginner walking to trotting on their own!
When the campers weren't riding they were helping groom some of our show horses!
After lunch we split back into pairs and gave all 8 of our lessons horses allergy friendly bubble baths!
We wrapped up the day with a few camp games and feeding the whole farm grain for dinner!
Tomorrow the Kona ice truck is coming, bring cash! And the parent show is at 2pm!!

Merry Christmas from Suncoast Stables!
