June News & Upcoming Events

Apologies for not writing a post in a long time :( 
I am going to take a different approach to the blog, give you news updates and upcoming events - let me know what you think. 

Wow a lot has happened so far this month!
  • The new luxury lockers are built with the other lockers having been moved into the arena so the aisle is now clear with two more stalls opened up, and a new set of cross ties added.
  • Dust control was conditioned into the indoor arena so now we have dust free footing (however please continue to toss any rocks you find off to the side of the arena)
  • New feed charts and daily feeding tracking system started in the barn
  • The horses were released onto their paddock paradise system (please arrive earlier for lessons in case you need to walk to the back)
  • Ozzy arrived as a new lesson horse for PHH – he excels for extreme cowboy and is new to jumping
  • Lindsey is a new distributor for ThinLine – please look at their website if you are interested in any products, assume Lindsey can get about 20% off most products https://www.thinlineglobal.com/
