New Stalls for High Country Stables, Dallas Ga

Horse Stalls, Dallas Ga

Tuesday we had 30 loads of dirt delivered, thanks to Isaac Dugan and his Landscaping & Grading Company. Of course, to keep the 800 tons of dirt from washing away with the rain we brought in 3 loads of gravel! But on a good note, we needed the rain and the grass seed we planted a month ago is now sprouting bright green in the pastures!

November 24th to 26th – 3 Day Horse Camp – $175.00 for 3 days or $60.00 a day. This camp is for beginner to advanced riders. Campers are welcome to come for the 3 days or just one day. We will be working on English and Western Pleasure, Halter, Showmanship and running events so be prepared to ride. If you have your own horse and would like to trailer in please let me know so that arrangements can be made!

Paulding County Saddle Club’s Charity Show was a huge success. We raised money for the Special Olympics and Brass Family. Thanks to everyone who donated items for the silent auction.

Have a great and safe Thanksgiving!
