We're almost done fencing in our outdoor arena. I took this shot which is looking out to the new location of our round pen which should be carved out and built with new footing over the next several weeks. The manure bunker is being built first, then onto the roundpen. For now the roundpen is in the outdoor arena, with plenty of room to work around it.

Never thought I'd be excited about the arrival of big concrete eco blocks! But here they are, just arrived today. We're building a manure bunker which will keep everything cleaner and the pile better managed. Next on our summer work list, relocating our round pen to it's new spot.

Lacey is one of our school ponies, and look at all the help she gave me teaching our youngest students how to ride. Good girl Lacey! April has some spectacular weather days and lessons can be taught outdoors. Hooray for sunny days!

Terrifying! Think carefully about how you vote. They sneak this garbage through, destroy peoples businesses and trample rights. I guess they have given up on crime, drugs, filth, people trashing cities, parental rights, and budgets. All in the name of climate change they are preparing to control what we drive, how far we'll be able to travel, what kind of house we'll be living in, what appliances & tools we are allowed to buy, what we read and what we're allowed to say. We all need to wake up, speak up and protect our rights. I'm certain this type of law will be hitting Washington property owners next.

Normally, I would not post this type of information, but this loss of people's rights to their property is happening now. How far are we going to allow the government to over reach, shut down farms & businesses, take away rights and tell us they are protecting us? You can bet the state government has a way for small farmers to keep their businesses operating, but only if they can afford the new permits required and the thousands of dollars needed to meet their building & operational requirements.

Our dog Riley has been wearing an Elizabethan collar for the past 5 weeks to protect his eye after surgery. He thought he could just walk under the blanket. Not so much!

What an amazing sight, beautiful!

I’d like to introduce myself...

Hello everyone! My name is Deborah Ritchie and I love to teach riding! Specifically Hunt Seat Riding, both on the flat and over fences. On the flat just means riding at the walk, trot and canter as opposed to riding your horse over jumping obstacles.

I’ve been teaching for a good 30 years plus and am certified by both the USHJA which is the United States Hunter Jumper Association and the ARIA, the American Riding Instructors Association. My real passion is developing a rider from the beginning level all the way through participating in their first competition.

I enjoy teaching all levels and ages or riders. Children are especially fun to teach, and their enthusiasm for learning new skills and love for the horses and ponies is a joy to be a part of! Returning adult riders are also a joy to teach. There are so many adults out there who rode as a kid but with the demands and pressures of work, school or family have not been able to ride for a number of years.

The Riding School is a place to enjoy learning the sport of Hunt Seat riding without owning a horse of your own. I own several lovely lesson horses and ponies and I think of them all as “professors” ready to help you learn to ride.
