We will be hosting Tara Graham, “The Equine Bit Fitter” on July 26th and 28th. We have 3 spots available for bit/bridle fittings. Tara will spend between 1-2 hours analyzing your horse's oral anatomy and trying different bits for them to go in.

Auditors are welcome to join for her hour-long presentation for $20 which offers tips for those not having a horse fitted. She will debunk a few myths and the Q&A usually leads to valuable discussions. The presentation is heavily anatomy-based, but not too ‘serious’!

Presentation and start times have not been scheduled yet so stay posted. For more information on Tara, including her pricing, you can visit her website https://equinebitfitter.com/
Email us at [email protected] or text 917-547-0519 to secure an appointment.

There are still a few spots available for Jim Hicks on June 7th, 8th, and 9th! To book a lesson, email us at aspenridger...

Please answer our quick questionnaire on hosting a schooling show on August 3rd or if you would prefer that we postpone until next June. We realize how late in the season it is to host and lots of folks (and their horses!) are tired by then. If we don't host in August, then we would have Chrissy come the 3rd and 4th to teach instead.

If you aren't familiar, Duncan makes fur coats, custom saddles and chaps/chinks, Bonnie does the beautiful custom artwork. Here is a sneak peek but you can check out their page Vezain Saddlery or online at www.duncanvezainsaddlery.com. Each piece is truly a work of art and even more beautiful in person!
