Just So You Know About The Camps…

Admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:11:51 +0000

As you know our camps normally fill up quickly. But just to be sure – we will be doing some extra marketing in the next several weeks for the two Fun Days and the two 3 Day Camps coming up in November and December.

If you are thinking of attending these very popular camps we recommend you head on over to the Fun Day Page or the 3 Day Camp Page and put in a deposit to hold your spot!

No complaining if you miss out until next year… we are giving you advance notice because we appreciate you!

What’s happening at High Country Stables in Dallas Ga.

We had a great time at Shelton Elementary’s Fall Festival. Ian brought his lasso and steer head and taught the kids how to rope a calf. Nicole and I raffled off two free riding lessons. The winners were Katie W and Nikki M. We look forward to spending an hour with them and introducing them to the wonderful world of horses.

Bryan and Scarlet, with her horse Jose, are off to Ohio for the Congress World Quarter Horse Show. Everyone at the barn wishes them the best of luck!

Our hearts go out to Lyndsay! Although she has only been at the barn a few weeks we were very sad to say goodbye to her horse Max. Max collicked Friday night and though the mare had a big heart her body just gave out. Everyone will miss her!

Our Fall camps are filling up fast. If you haven’t signed up and would like to, please let me know soon, especially for the November 4th Fun Day!

Happy Trails!

High Country Stables and Carlisle Performance Horses of Dallas, Ga are merging!

Admin — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 14:29:29 +0000

Big changes are coming to the farm! October 1st High Country Stables and Carlisle Performance Horses are joining forces. Bryan and Nicole Carlisle, along with their two children, Chase and Kiersten, are bringing 18 years of expertise and horse knowledge to our stables in Dallas, Ga. Along with their top show horses and AQHA youth riding team, we are getting quality lesson horses for our riding programs and camps. Bryan and his students have shown AQHA, State and 4-H as well as the Open shows and Fun Shows. Of course, this means we need to expand the barn and the riding area! Plans are to build another 7 stall barn and triple the size of the riding ring in the up coming months – I know what I am getting for Christmas – lumber and gravel.

Cody and I are off to the Clinton Anderson Clinic this coming weekend! I am excited, but I don’t know about Cody – I think he would rather be grazing in the pasture then ridden for three days straight!

As soon as we get back I will post the schedule for the Fall and Winter Fun Days and Horse Camps!

Happy Trails!

Back to horseback riding lessons in Dallas, Ga though…

We came home from Perry Ga with a State trophy. Riders and horses did really awesome and our stalls were the best decorated! The theme was "just another dirty barn girl/boy" and the kids worked hard to make posters, silhouettes, and pictures. They are hung in the barn as proud tribute to all their diligent work!

I want to thank everyone who came out for "muck day" to help clean up the barn. We worked all morning and rode all afternoon. I didn’t think the riding ring could hold so many horses at one time without a major collision.

I am planning on attending the next Cobb County 4-H meeting, which will be the 1st week of October so that we can get started. I will post and contact everyone who emailed me about 4-H and set up a meeting for the middle of October. I have had several people interested in getting the vaulting team up and running again. Please email me with a day and time that would best work for you so that Annette and I can get that scheduled. I want to welcome two new horses to the farm. Callie, an ex polo horse, who is very sweet and belongs to a 9 year old little girl. And Dusty, a very handsome Buckskin. I hope everyone is adjusting to school and Fall! Happy Trail, The Phillips
