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.

Get your camera’s ready! May is “best photo of the month” contest. Send us your favorite HCS horsey picture and win a free 1 hour riding lesson. We will pick the winner May 30th!
One of my favorite boys!
Spring and warmer days are finally here! The wintry weather seemed like it would never leave and now, all the trees are green, the flowers are blooming and our lake is full of baby geese and ducks! I love this time of year! All the horses are losing their winter coats and no longer look like Woolly Mammoths.
We have been working very hard on the farm, spreading grass seed, picking up rocks, building a bunny pen and mending fences. The horses are being very patient, waiting for the grass to grow. Today we put Dixie and Val in the front pasture and it was so fun watching them run through the fields and flowers!
Don’t forget to sign up for summer camp! The first two camps are almost full! There are only 1 or 2 spots left.
Happy Trails,
The HCS Group!

This is our 25th Valentine’s day since we got married – and the first one in a long time with snow on the ground!
Ryan, although sick all week, somehow miraculously got well in time to snowboard with a feed bag!

Christmas Eve Snow?
The horses were talking as they often do, when we aren’t there to hear them and neither are you.
Preacher
Scout sang Jingle Bells at the top of his range, Hunter’s head moved in time though he thought him quite strange.
Rocky
Mac was snug in his place right next to Kokie, and Lex on the end hummed White Christmas in a low key.
Midnight
Sugar was sad cause he didn’t yet fit in, heard Petie thumping Drummer Boy and gladly joined in.
Cody
And up at the house minis were eating again, happy to get out of the cold and the rain.
Big Monster!
First they could hear the thump of big paws, and smell the bad breath and see the big claws;
They begin to get nervous and all started to whinny, (all except for Hunter 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 they asked was this the big day? Had Santa really come would they get extra hay?
And into the barn with a smile and big mutt; and arms full of carrots and candy and stuff,
Was their favorite Santa coming to see them? On Christmas morning, she wanted to free them!
From the long night of their talking, singing and sore feet –
Shelly wished them Merry Christmas and cried – its time to eat!

Shelly knows she has to stay on top of her game to be able to teach lessons to others. We have been very fortunate to have at High Country Stables some really good trainers. Currently we have a Level 3 Dressage Rider training some of the advanced lessons kids in jumping and teaching Shelly advanced horsemanship.
We love Leeanne Ellingson and her warm blood horses, Saba, Willa and Cooper!

Thanks to everybody who came out to the barn for the Christmas party! We had lot of great food and fun. It was great to see and meet all the people who help makes High Country the fun and successful stables it is.
We hope the kids are not too sore from their rugby game in the ring last night!
