We've been having a busy season here at Harvest View, and we've got some exciting happenings coming up. Firstly, we want to announce that Melanie Schaefer will be joining us as an instructor on Saturdays. Melanie has been with us since she was knee-high to a grasshopper, and now she's returning to help out after getting some great experience as a working student for Clasing Eventing in Kennett Square. She has competed her own horse and many others, and we're excited that she'll be available to teach our riders here at home.
Melanie will start teaching next Saturday, October 26th. Lauren will continue to teach here and will be available some Sundays and also to help out as needed during the week. We're happy that this will give us the ability to expand our weekend lesson program a bit, which is helpful especially now that we'll be losing daylight during the week. We have the indoor, of course, but it's nice to be able to ride outdoors as much as we can.
In other news, this Sunday we'll be hosting our annual Halloween Fun Show and Costume Class. If you haven't already signed up to play, please get in touch with Cindy as soon as possible. We play games on horseback first, then adjourn to dress up the horses for our costume parade. As always, we have fabulous prizes for the best costumes. Here are a few great ones from last year:

Two weeks after our Halloween show we'll be hosting our 20th Anniversary Combined Test and Dressage Show, Saturday, November 9th. As always, we'll offer divisions from Tadpole through Novice levels. You may pick up an entry form at the barn or download it from our Events Page. The event is open to all current and former HVS lesson students and boarders.
Lastly, we'll be doing a Reverse Advent Calendar to benefit The Caring Cupboard, but we'll do it during the month of November instead of December. That way we can get food to our neighbors before, vs. after the holidays. I'll have a collection box at the barn, so if you'd like to contribute, please bring your items along to your lesson. Just replace the December dates on the graphic with November dates, and we'll be good to go!
