Wow, so much going on; end of season shows, trail rides, birthday parties and new horses arriving at the farm. We were sad to say good-bye to Kiwi! She went home to her owners. I know Sara was happy to have her back and ready to start riding her again.

We want to welcome Sugar and Busta to the farm. Sugar is a rescued Mustang who needs lots of love and carrots. Busta has come down from Ohio. He is an Arab who has shown dressage in the past and a very sweet boy! Snickers will be arriving at the end of the month. He is going to take Sherle to State in the running events!! Go, Sherle!!

HCS has a new horse – Chance! He is too cute, goes English or Western and we are excited to add him to our lesson program.
