Due to the cold, wet blustery March weather (rainy and high of 45) we are forced to postpone the horse and pony rides offered for today (Saturday 3/14) to next week on Sunday afternoon from 1-4. Sunday is March 22.
We are planning a couple of interesting demonstrations (riding, jumping, hoof picking etc.) It’ll be fun for the whole family.
We have had lots of calls and messages letting us know you were coming and bring your friends and neighbors – so everybody ask for for nice weather next weekend!
Horse Riding Camps
The summer camp schedule is up and as always it is recommended to get your deposit in as soon as you can if you want to hold a spot. These camps fill very quickly!
There are just a couple spots left for the April 6-10 Spring Break camp. This will be a horse riding camp focused on trail, halter and basic riding skills.
We appreciate you and your help!

Haley had her 4th birthday pony party at High Country Stables yesterday. So we shot some (home) video!
Everyone enjoyed the beautiful day, being out on the farm. The kids rode for an hour, then used the conference room for an hour for their party.
It really is a lot of fun for all for only $200!
See what you think!

Announcements!
First Fun Day of the year! February 18 (Paulding County is out of school) Only $50. Click here to save your spot now!
We need boarders!
Over the winter we lost several horses. (Well actually we didn’t lose them – they moved or were sold!)
Java was bought by a very nice lady and moved to a big pasture in Cartersville. Daryl left in the fall looking for a place where he could volunteer to help disadvantaged kids. Blend, Jewel and Beau moved just down the road to a private pasture.
So we have room and sure could use some help! If you know anyone who might be looking for a home for their horse – please recommend us. Our best advertising is from our friends talking about us!

T’was the night before Christmas and all through the stables, all the creatures were stirring, those that were able.
The horses were talking as they often do, when we aren’t there to hear them and neither are you.
Willie laughed at a joke he make about Preacher, who was trying to bite Hope if he only could reach her.
Dusty sang “A neigh in manger” and Deck the Stalls”, while Rowdy’s head moved in time with it all.
Jewel, out in the cold wished she were in, and Blend in their stall wore a big grin.
Petie was snug in the stall that he shared, with Zero who tried to look like he cared.
Midnight knew very well which horse was here first, and laughed out a Hunter – whose plan of revenge he rehearsed.
Java was dancing and bobbing his chin, heard Scout humming carols and gladly joined in.
Cody, the reiner, was spinning with glee, and Oni the runner was dreaming of speed.
And then there was Lightning just trying to sleep, cause he had reputation in the daylight to keep.
Willie was Willie what else can you say, and Rocky was grinding his teeth in that way.
All blanketed and snug in her stall was Callie, then came the Carlisle’s horses, the pig and the minis.
When out in the paddock there arose such a clatter, every one’s ears perked up – what was the matter?
First they could hear the thump of big paws, and smell the bad breath and see the big claws:
They began to get nervous and all started to whinny, (all except for Zero who was a bit skinny),
And to their surprise out on the road, there appeared a small waif carrying a big load,
Could it be, was this the right day? Had Santa really come would they get extra hay?
And into the barn with a smile and big mutt, and an arm full of carrots and candy and stuff.
Was their favorite Santa come to see them, On Christmas morning, in the cold to feed them.
From the long night of neighing and keeping the sound up – Shelly wished them Merry Christmas at the horsey barn round up!
