Fall Fun Day

Yesterday we had our "Fall Fun Day" at the farm and what a fun day it was indeed!!! I never could have imagined there would be so many children at the farm all at once. It was such a fun sight to watch all the kids playing together. We are really fortunate to have such an awesome group of children and parents as a part of FOFF. I think it is a pretty safe bet to say that everyone had a good time! The kids were so excited to ride and everyone was getting in line again and again to play the games. They participated in an apple bobbing race, a pair's ribbon race, and ride-a-buck. I think it is safe to say our students are off to a great start in their riding because we couldn't get them to loose their dollars....no matter how hard we tried!!! The weather couldn't have been better for the day, which was such a welcomed reprive after all the rain we had this week. For a while, I thought we were going to float away! Thanks so much to all the parents and other students who jumped in and helped us make sure things went smoothly. We couldn't have done it without you!!!! Here are a few of the pictures:

On a different note: Our Fix-A-Test now has a date! It will be Decemeber 12th and the judge is Rebecca Blikslager "L". There is an entry form on the website (http://www.fleetoffootfarm.com/) This is going to be alot of fun and an amazing learning experience for everyone who participates. We are so excited to do this and look forward to offering it on a more regular basis with a variety of different judges in the future. We hope to see you there!!!

We will update next week after our crazy weekend of horseshows. On Saturday Susan is taking AlbertEarl to CHP for a schooling horse trial while Jessy and I take Moose and Sutter to Antares Dressage Show. Then, on Sunday we are taking a full load to MacNair's up in Raleigh. Jessy is showing Clover, Susan is showing Tank (It will be his first horse show!), Alfre is showing William in her first combined test on him, and Casey is showing GingerSnap in her very first dressage show, and I will be taking Twix to hangout for the experience. Whew....my head is spinning just thinking about that! It's going to be a busy busy busy weekend, but should be lots of fun. I'm excited to see everyone's hard work pay off!!!
