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.

Our RIFNA team is up and running! We will have our first meet in December over the holidays.

October 29th was the last PCSC show of the season. So, proud of Emily and Rosie – it was Rosie’s first show – and they did awesome!

All the HCS riders did a great job showing this season. The PCSC Awards Banquet is coming up and we can’t wait to see all the awards and trophies the girls will be bringing home.

Horse Stables May News

Admin — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:27:51 +0000

We have been fortunate this year in our organic breeding department!

There are two pairs of Canadian geese with goslings – one pair has 6 and the other has three! There is a pair of wood ducks that has returned this year and they have three new babies!

There is also a pair of beavers who have come to the lake and we are watching for their little ones to appear. All the proud parents are usually out just as the sun starts setting.

Here are the baby goslings!

Zero Has Moved to A New Home!
Yesterday Zero, who has been with us almost from the beginning, moved to a new job. He is out in a big pasture taking yearlings under his wing who have just been separated from their mommas. We wish him and Katie (who has moved on with the fumes disease) all the best.

Summer Camps

The June 15 camp is completely full and several others are very close. We are looking to fill the May 29th Friday Fun Day, and the first camp in June.

If you are thinking of holding a spot – don’t wait! Click here now!

Cowboy Cookout?
We are thinking of offering a Stables Cowboy Cookout but we need to know interest level. The cookout would probably be from 6-830 on a weekend evening, with room for up to 30 people, and include food, cowboys singalong, games, hayride, and more. The price would probably be about $35 for adults and $20 for kids.

If this interests you, please leave a comment or email to let us know?
Thanks!

Ian Graduates!
We are proud to announce our son Ian Phillips was one of the first two graduating seniors from our Circle of Friends home schooling group. The same weekend we also held a ceremony to present Ian with the coveted Eagle scout award, which less than 4% of all Scouts worldwide ever earn, and which places him one step closer to an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis Md. Ian is now at Chattahoochee Tech taking preparatory college classes.

Here is Ian and Jared playing a song at their graduation…

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
