Isn’t it nice to have spring finally here?

And with the nice weather comes a flood of birthday parties and trail rides. If you are thinking (or know someone who is) of having a birthday pony party or a nice trail ride – don’t wait until the last minute to reserve a date!

Katie and her friends came last week on one of the prettiest days of the year… Here is a short video.

We spent last week in Florida (it was our Christmas gift to ourselves) and thoroughly enjoyed getting away. Even though it was cold and a bit wet, we still had a great time.

This is the video from the camcorder – Shelly is still working on her pictures…

Thanks so very much for all of you who helped keep the horses fed and taken care of while we were gone! It was great knowing we had you here!

About 60 people showed up for the annual HCS Christmas party with lots of food and fun. There was a huge rugby game in the ring, and music by the fire… A good time was had by all! Thanks for coming!

We are looking for warmer weather next week – time to fix all the broken water pipes!

See you soon!

We are really excited to have Kerry Davids join the HCS crew!

Kerry working her magic with Bella

Kerry is from the UK and has been riding since age 5. She volunteered at various barns in the UK helping care for the horses as well as assist with riding lessons and the RDA (Riding for the Disabled). Kerry moved to the USA in 1996 and resumed riding at a barn which used Sally Swift’s centered riding techniques. Kerry has ridden in numerous eventing competitions and ridden in clinics with previous eventers, like Kim Walnes. Kerry is a big safety advocate and teaches using the centered riding initiative. She has taught dressage, jumping and loves training horses.

There are two spots open for the December 21st Fun Day! Don’t miss out on all the fun!

Jeri and Shelly are offering a 3 month clinic starting in January – Thinking about buying a horse? Already own a horse that you are scared of or not sure how to start training? Does your horse walk all over you? Can you lead your horse or does your horse lead you? Do you spend hours trying to catch your horse? If you answer yes to any of these questions you need to spend the winter with us. For more details click here!

All I want for Christmas is two big carrots!
