Hi all!

Unfortunately due to various drop outs of attendees, the clinic has been decidedly cancelled. Lisa and I will look to reschedule sometime this Winter (December timeframe) or wait until Spring.

Apologies to the few who were still planning on attending - but without a full schedule, it makes more sense to reschedule.

That being said, in the future, I will be asking for a deposit from those interested to "lock in" their participation slot so that hosting clinicians can be of benefit to all involved.

Hopefully we can garner more interest from local equestrians next time around. Thank you all - until next time!

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. Because veterinary professionals are unfortunately among some of the most likely to take their own lives, we are currently holding a raffle for a year of free nail trims, with all proceeds going to NOMV (Not One More Vet) — an organization dedicated to providing resources to those in our field struggling with their mental health and raising awareness for this cause. ❤️

We’re sad to say that most veterinarians we know — ours included — have had a classmate die by su***de. Veterinarians and their support staff, are people, too. This field is hard, but we love your pets and love what we do! 💕

We ask you consider entering in our raffle! Or, if you aren’t interested in the prize, you can donate directly at www.NOMV.org. 🐾

“MILITARY” Riders---

Anyone who started to ride 50 or more years ago in any of the so called Olympic disciplines, dressage, show jumping and eventing, will remember just how many of the instructors we had were either former or current military men.

And from so many different countries, Poland, England, Germany, Hungary, Russia, Holland, USA, Canada, France, Czechoslovakia, others, and many of them here in the USA were recent arrivals from war ravaged Europe.

I don’t know who this rider in the photo is, or where he came from, or what year this was, but he exemplifies the solid and classical correctness that used to be a hallmark of riders who’d been taught by cavalry officers.

Most of them taught in similar fashion to the way they themselves had learned, rather formal, probably too “disciplined” in approach to be tolerated by modern Americans----Yes sir, no sir, thank you very much sir---Strict but almost never insulting, although some equated the two.

But the riders who could handle the discipline and the structure came away as good riders. That era is now quite far in the rear view mirror. And it’s like that meme we see---“Most of you never took lessons from military riders and it shows---.”
