Last Saturday we took 2 horses to Antares Dressage Show. Alfre rode William in her first horse show with him. They did a fantastic job and I was so proud of them. She rode really well, and looked fantastic. She was the only junior in both of her very large classes and was unfortunately just out of the ribbons in both classes, but it was a great starting place for her and him. I'm confident they will be a team to beat in the very near future. I took Twix and let him hang out at the show some. Just to get some experience and see how he was going to be for the students. He was so relaxed and chilled, like he has done it all his life. I'm excited to see how this little horse progresses with the students. And of course there was Maple, our graded "steaks" winning racehorse who was at the show as well. :-)

In other happenings, Michelle has completed the introductory course, and is really getting more confident in her riding. Tatum, Logan, Erin, and Isabelle have almost finnished their introductory courses as well.
On November 14th, 2009 we are having a "Fun Day" at the farm for all the kids. We are going to eat pizza add snacks, as well as play horse mounted games for fun prizes, and give the kids a chance to play together on the playground. All the kids are invited to participate and are encouraged to bring a friend with them. It is going to be a fun day for everyone. If your interested in possibly signing your children up for riding lessons feel free to bring them out for a day of fun with other kids and the horses.
We have lots of other fun things on the calendar as well. We are going to a dressage show at Antares Dressage again on November 20th, as well as a Dressage and Combined Test at MacNair's in Raleigh on November 21st. Also, plans are in the works for a Dressage Fix-A-Test to be held at the farm, hopefully sometime in December. Check back soon for updates on that as soon as we know them.
Happy Riding,
Briana
