The Little Tykes summer camp finished up on Friday with a ’show’ for the parents. The little ones (5-7) did an amazing job of staying in the saddle!

Beginner/Intermediate Camp Next Week!

Anyone interested in attending just one day of camp next week (week slots are full) then please be sure and register here so we know you are coming!

Should be a great week of camp!

Thanks for your support! We appreciate you!

Help us celebrate her birthday by writing a nice comment to this post. She would appreciate that! Just tell her how you have helped you, a child, or made you laugh – whatever. That would be very nice!

A few years ago her birthday was on a horse show. We got 48 cupcakes and all through the day we had a different person take a cupcake to her and wish her happy birthday! That was fun!

And now the sad news…
Our best friend of 14 years Pete – (For Pete’s Sake is his real name) just got tired and left us on Father’s Day. We are all hurting and he will be sorely missed. But – he is in a much better place and able to run like the wind again!

And finally – the little tykes camp is next Monday! And it is full.

The beg/intermediate camp for July 12-16 has room for one more. And remember if you are bringing someone for single days we need to know which days so we do not have too many!

Thanks for thinking of us, and being with us during these sad and happy times. You are greatly appreciated!

Miami and Shelly

The drought must be over hmmm? In the eight years we have been here, it has never seemed so green!

Summer riding camps

Some folks are waiting until the last minute to sign up for summer riding camps… If you are planning on having someone attend – please reserve your spot right now… before it is too late! The next camp is very close – June 14 – and we still have a couple of spots open for beginner or intermediate riders 6 and up…

What would you like to do?

Our family is always looking for something fun to do in the summer… We are thinking of ways to offer something affordable and fun for your whole family to do this summer. If you have an idea please send it to us at shelly@highcountrystables.com!

Happy Trails!

It sure felt like it today… And tomorrow will be in the 70’s for the first show of the season. Shelly is taking Kylie and Kayla to Wild Horse Park tomorrow for the first 4H show!

Next week is Paulding County Saddle Club’s first show!

Spring Break Camp!

If you have been putting off deciding about Spring Break Riding camp I wouldn’t wait much longer. I guess the nice weather has everybody thinking about it and we had two more signups today which doesn’t leave too many spots left!

Someone said the paypal button was not working for taking payments and deposits here so we redid it and added the ability to pay in full or the remainder.

Birthday Pony Parties

The weather is bringing out the parties as well. Please mention us if you have friends looking for something really fun and different for a birthday party. For $250 we supply 2 horses for an hour and the conference room for an hour for up to 18 kids. Better than that cheesy place!

Gotta go get the mower ready!

Hope we see you soon at the stables!

That is very cool – as it has been very cold!

But we have already done two birthday pony parties this year! The first one was 18 kids in 24 degrees!

It will get warmer! Maybe Monday it will warm up so the kids will have lots of fun outside as well as inside for the February Fun Day. Click here to register.

Last time I looked there were only three or four places left.

And the spring break camp is set for April 5-9. Register now!

By then you know spring fever will be in as full bloom as will be our Bradford Pears lining the drive!

Here at the stables we are eagerly looking forward to sunshine, warm weather and green things!

Autumn and Caroline at the last Fun Day!

Congratulations, to Karen and Chloe C for winning the free Fun Day pass.

Marley and Freddy!

We want to welcome Sugar and Grace to the barn. Sugar is a 7 year old Tennessee Walking Horse and in training with Shelly! She is very fun to ride as long as nobody pops up with a baseball cap! Watch for our next video!

Val, is another Tennessee Walker, who joined the farm just last week. Val, is also in training and owned by Sherle. Val is only 4 and very silly on windy days!

One more month of cold, rainy, weather and it will be Spring and Show Season. Our first Drill Team meeting went great and we are really excited to put the music and pattern together. Our first show is schedule for March 20th at Wild Horse Park!

Happy Trails!
