If you are like us – things are a bit crazy at the moment.
Shelly and Ryan are on their way back form a week at her parents. Her grandmother passed (at 101!) and she needed to help her Dad while her Mom flew to NJ for the funeral.
And of course with Christmas less than a week away – and it rainy and cold – yuk. The horse are sliding around in the mud and business has come to a standstill.
But – we do have a Fun Day scheduled for the day after Christmas on December 26th and there are still a few places open. Sign up on the website on the right. 9am-1pm for less than the price of a lesson – can’t beat it!
Christmas Trees still available – if you have yet to pick up your tree, or if you know someone who would like one but can’t afford it – call us. We have 4 left and I hate to burn them… We have from 6ft to 8ft and they are beautiful Fraser Firs that have been in water since they were cut!
And finally -
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! (if we make it past The 21st!)
From all of us at high Country Stables…

There are only 7 left.

Less than anyone else and fresh cut!
Better hurry!

The geese and ducks are finally heading out for the winter! The horses are starting to get fluffy with their winter coats and show season is up and running. Congratulations to all our RIFNA riders. We brought home a lot of blue ribbons.
Walking the jump course!
Shelly has been working Cowgirl, getting her ready for whatever discipline is called for that day – that pony can do it all from reining, to jumping to English Pleasure and she is joy to ride.

love those fun days
Still have baby chickens popping up at the farm! At least some of the geese and ducks have gone South for the winter. Although, I do believe Buddy and two of the mallards will remain behind. They were maimed by turtles and have taken up residence with Peanut the Pig.
Goose and Miami are headed to their first paws4people event on Tuesday in Augusta. Goose is doing great in his training. We visited Barnes and Noble last week and kept the kids in the children section amused with all his tricks and ability to read!
September 29th kicks off our RIFNA year. We will be at In Your Dreams Farm, with 15 riders competing this year. And they have added reining! Excited for all the girls.
Happy Trails,
The Phillips

We had an awesome time at the State Show in Perry, Ga. this weekend. Of course, Midnight and Kylie came home with another racking trophy. Emily and Dallas were called back in their English class. Kylie, Savannah, Olivia and Lindsay rocked it in their reining class! Kylie, Savannah and Miranda looked great at halter. All the girls did really well and the horses were on their best behavior! Couldn’t ask for anything more!
