Spring Break FUN...

I'm ready for some sun and fun....
Spring break is coming and we're in the midst of getting some exciting events put together;
we've invited Danny Warrington back for a clinic (call or write for details)
and I'm planning a schooling trip to either Connie's or Woodside...
ALSO remember that Ram Tap has their Easter Horse Trials, April 14th-16th ; Ram Tap schooling fee is up to $40 and if you volunteer you get a day of schooling for FREE... we need dressage scribes, ring stewards, sheet runners, show jumping timers, scribes, ring crew and a back gate person...

Go MUDDERS!

Last weekend at Copper Meadows was an event of unusual sorts. First and foremost I want to send out gracious thanks to Carolyn Hoffos for being such a great organizer to make that event run under such difficult circumstances.
Secondly I'd like to be the first to say that having a day off in the middle of an event is a terrific way to gather thoughts, stay calm, have fun and most of all catch up on well needed sleep :) It's about as good as a daily siesta (sp?)
Our Havarah horses did great in the mud; Debbie Davis and her great stallion finished 1st in the Prelim rider division with a HUGE lead; Makers Mark was 2nd in the Open Prelim and both of the Sport Equine horses that Jim and Debbie rode did a spectacular job at their first events. Christina held her own with a 3rd place dressage ride and a terrific start to her first preliminary cross country ride...you go girl!
