Fallen Leaves Prepare the Earth For Spring Seeds

Dear Friends,

What a great weekend to ride!  Great weather, good friends, beautiful horses and gorgeous country….doesn’t get better than that!

I will be in Elbert this Saturday giving a horsemanship clinic hosted by Kim Heavey.   Kim’s place is near Prairie Canyon Ranch on Hwy 83.  If there is anyone from this area that would like to go and “trailer pool” with me, that would be great!  There are a few spots left so call or email if you can join us this Saturday or email Kim at Kim(dot)Heavey(at)firstdata.com.

The cattle will be headed off to the sale barn soon so if you are interested in a private lesson or clinic (public or private) with cattle let me know right away.

We are trail riding with our Tuesday and Thursday group lessons this week so if you are interested in joining us for those rides this week (and maybe next week, weather permitting) give me a call for information and directions.

Have a great week!

October Update

October 14, 2008

Dear Friends,

The first freeze of the season hit last night and the plants that were still trying to survive have now all turned black….  The good news is that the flies should have taken a “hit” with the cold and hopefully will be less of them bothering our four legged friends!  It is supposed to warm up this week though, WHOOHOO!

The weather for this weekend’s, Oct 18th, Horsemanship/Trial clinic looks great!  We will start at 9:00 with horsemanship then head out for the Grasslands, eat lunch and then ride out, getting you back to your trailers around 4:00.  We will work on all the things that show up with our horses outside the comfort zone of the “arena walls” and give you the tools to make it a safe and fun ride out.

The last weekend in October (25-26) is our Halloween clinic which will include everything, groundwork, horsemanship, trail, cattle, fun competition and prizes!   Costumes are not mandatory, but if you do wear one there will be prizes for best and worst!  And refreshments too!

The tack store has been getting new items in for the holidays and we are running sales on EVERYTHING to help keep your cost down in these tough economic times.  Let us know if there is anything you need us to have for that hard to shop for person and we will do our best to get it for you at a discounted price also.  We still have our 50-90% off table and a nice selection of used tack on sale too.

Huge thanks to all of you that helped, donated and shopped at the yard sale we did for my sister and brother-in-law.  We were able to raise over $2500.00 which will be a big help to them while they try and get back on their feet, physically and financially.  God bless you!

Be sure to email or call if you have any questions or comments!

Kindly,

Amy
