Last Saturday, we had 14 riders journey to Frying Pan Park in Herndon to school the cross country course. This was a treat for the horses, getting out of the ring and into the open fields after a long show season. The weather was nice and everyone had a good time. We will schedule a few of these sessions throughout next year and will keep you posted on dates.

Congrats to Annie Thompson on her purchase of Cliff, a 5yo Dutch/Oldenburg Cross.

We say goodbye to Tansey, Allie Thompson’s jumper pony. She has moved on to a new owner – congrats and thanks to Lisa Mitchell.

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the VHSA Associate Championships in Lexington, Virginia! Despite very long days, everyone had a great time. The horses were fantastic and it was a great learning experience.
