Looking forward to new season!!!

As the winter weather putters on, we have seen some glimpses of the warmer months ahead!  Pretty entertaining when 40 degrees feels like spring fever.  Which brings up Spring Break Camps.  Be sure to sign up as soon as possible as space is limted!!
We are looking forward to an exciting and jam packed season, full of shows, new skills, and knowledge to share.  We hope all of you will come join us and keep up to date on camps, clinics, and events.  If you are not already signed up please join our mailing list, and our fan page on facebook. 
Please help us keep up to date on you.  Let us know about the goals you and your horse have accomplished or progress you have made. We'd also love to hear about new things you would like to learn. 
I'd like to give a big pat on the back to all of those who have been braving the cold and working throughout the winter, your effort will pay off.  GOOD JOB!! 
And I can't wait to see all of you back in action!!!!!

Clinic ideas

We'd love to know what you'd like to learn. Is there a specific topic you would like us to address or a clinician you are interested to see. Please share and discuss it here. Please bare with us as we may not be able to address all suggestions, but please know we will take all discussions into account when making decisions on the events we are able to host.

Top ten most desired Traits for your equine facility

I am very curious to see everyone's most valued traits for their equine facility. I think some are obvious like safety, but we should never assume that we all want the same things or prioritize the same way. So please take some time to share. Even if you don't list all ten, your insight is always appreciated.  Thanks!

New Year

I hope everyone made it thru the holidays and got all the new horsey items under the tree that they asked for.  I'm looking forward to warmer weather and a new show season.  I would like to hear your ideas for clinics and training questions that I might demonstrate or post online for you.

Pictures from the 2nd week of horse camp

So I know it has been a ridiculously long time since the 2nd week of horse camp was here, but I was finally able to trace down some pictures.  To make a long story short there was an incident where my camera was put in the refrigerator with the eggs that we had used for the egg and spoon race... Anyway I am sorry that there are so few, but I figured it was better than none. 
I would like to thank all of our participants from our horse camps.  This year was great!  We would not have had as much fun with out all of your support.  Make sure to mouse over the Horse Camp link and then you will see the picture link underneath. 
Once again thank you all so much for coming we hope to see you again next year!

Warren Co. Fair

Congratulations to Emily Fry-Schutt and her Haflinger Willow!!!  Unfortunately in the thick of horse camp this year, their many accomplishments at the Warren County Fair were never posted.  They did a superb job in Halter, Pony Pleasure, and Trail.  Emily also won the Fireman's Race (exhibitors must balance a glass of water while riding the walk, trot, and canter) with her other horse during fair.  Over the past year and a half Emily and Willow have made tremendous progress in Pleasure.  They have poured their hearts into becoming a better horse/rider team and have succeeded.  We are supremely proud of them for their many awards at the Warren County Fair, Indiana State Fair, and numerous open shows throughout the tri-state area this season. We send our deepest and most sincere appologizes, for not commending them more quickly on their accolades.
