Lesson horse of the week:
CF A Rare Genius
aka: Leo
Leo is an American Saddlebred that stands 16.2 hands and is a gelding. This big, game guy use to show in the ASB Park division. He is a huge help to our advanced riders helping them keep their skills steady and delicate. His favorite snacks are sweet potato’s and apples. Our dearest, Caroline Turano had an awesome ride on him in our group on . Come by every Saturday 9-12 and check out this fun group!

We have some wonderful horses for sale this week- all here and showing, all proven in their division and been showing successfully several seasons with us. Come try them!

So proud of our hunters headed to Blue Ridge and Louisville. They’ve worked hard this year and are strong in the ashba points, with Lucky Lass holding that coveted top spot. WC CH Undercover is up to 29 CH points, he’s such a thrill! Sarah and Kentucky Grand will have their first time on the green shavings this year but are third in the rankings and are really ready to put on a show. I just love the diversity of the saddlebred in full display in the hunter division!

Headed home (hopefully….. still at airport with a delayed flight) from the ESC Riding Instructor Workshop. What a two days! The burnout coach was great- wish I had his energy! Had such good ideas of making changes. And the lesson ideas flowed all over the place, it’s going to be a fun time at Avalon the next few weeks with all the new things we are all going to try. Thank you to Jackie Cline Hale and Shane for being so organized and excellent hosts. I met some lovely new people and of course caught up with old friends. Christy Parker and I are at the airport talking about what an incredible group we had, there is no other industry that works harder!!!!! So proud to be a part of it!😍
