The cost for this clinic is $150.00, call or email for a reservation form.

September… ALL READY?!!

Dear Friends,

I had to break out the wild rag and jacket this morning before heading out the door!  What beautiful fall like weather we are having as another summer comes to a close….

August went by in a flash with the flurry of friends, family, clinics, horses and 4-H county and state fairs.  Congratulations to the 4-H kids who did so well at the Weld and Larimer County Fair and State Fair in Pueblo!  What a privilege to work with such wonderful kids helping them get ready for the new 4-H Ranch Horse division!  I enjoyed judging the Ranch Horse Trail and Ranch Cattle Sorting at Larimer County Fair and then off to State Fair to Judge the Ranch Trail class again.  What a pleasure to see so many outstanding young people doing such a wonderful job with their horses.

I still can’t believe September is here already…only 112 shopping days until Christmas!  There is a nice variety of clinics offered for September starting with Cow Working clinics on September 13th.  These are half day clinics, Cow Working I (less experienced horse or rider on cattle) in the morning from 9-12 and Cow Working II (for the horse or riders that have had more experience on cattle) in the afternoon from 1:30-4:30.  The cost for half day clinics is $80 plus a $10.00 cattle charge.  If you would like to ride in both sessions it is $150.00 with a $15.00 cattle charge.  Bring a lunch if you can stay for all day!  Call or email me for more details.

The next weekend is a Horsemanship/Trail clinic, September 20th.  We will work on horsemanship as it applies to riding out on the trails and then haul out to the Pawnee Grasslands to put our skills to the test!  We will also talk about and begin work on getting our horses ready to hobble in this clinic.  Don’t panic if you can’t make this trail clinic to the Pawnee because we are going to do it again in October.  Bring your lunch and any other trail gear you might want to take on your ride out. The cost for this clinic is $150.00, call or email for a reservation form.

Last but certainly not least is the Ladies Yoga/Horsemanship clinic in Silverthorne on Sept 27-28th.  This clinic will offer yoga as it applies to horsemanship, classical horsemanship, round pen work and hot tub!  This clinic is almost full so don’t wait too long…the cost is $300.00 and includes the clinic, room and board.  There will also be a massage therapist available if you want to spoil yourself even more!  Trailer pooling with me is an option if you live in this area.  Don’t hesitate to call or email for more detail.

We have several very nice young mares for sale that are really coming along nicely with their training.  Brown Girl is currently under saddle with James Morgan and making a super nice horse, big stops!!  Missy is scheduled to start her training in October.  Mayada and Cowgirl are FINALLY being ridden by their owner, ME!  I love these two mares and would keep them if I could but I have too many to ride and no time. Training/lessons included in the purchase of any horses owned by Bridle Bit! For more information see them on our web site, www.bridle-bit.com. James Morgan also has a nice big quiet QH gelding for sale that I have ridden a couple of times and really, really like.  For more information on “Charlie” visit James’ web site at www.jamesmorganhorsemanship.com.

My brother in law, Del Franz, had a major stroke the first of June and my sister and he had no insurance….so I am doing a “garage sale” Friday and Saturday, Oct 3-4, to raise some money to help offset medical expenses and get rid of some “REALLY GOOD STUFF”!  There will lots of nice used tack, household items, clothes, etc….  new and used!  We will have live entertainment (no kidding, a real band!) and refreshments. More details in the next update……

Thank you so much for your time!  Look forward to seeing you soon!

Kindly,

Amy
