Summer's here!

We've continued to do a lot of fun things at the barn this month, and have added still more jumps to our jump field. Our students and our horses really seem to enjoy jumping, or just doing flat work, out in the field. It's a nice break from the ring for everyone.

Eight of our riders participated in the Cross Road Schooling Hunter Show at the Quentin Riding Club last weekend. For many, it was their first time competing, and everyone really enjoyed the experience.

Madilyn and Delight were Reserve Champions in the Leadline division. This was her first show, and Delight was happy to take good care of her.

Tammy and Griffin came home with quite a few ribbons in their first show together (and Tammy's first show). Both of them did a great job.

Alexis and Beamer won both a Division Championship and a Reserve Championship. They are becoming a good pair!

Laura was so proud of Romeo, especially when they won their over fences class.

Wende and Laura had fun sharing Romeo at the show.

Alana found James's go-button and won their division Reserve Championship at their first show.

Margaret and Romeo were superstars at their first competition off the farm, coming away with a division championship.

Alana and James practice the mailbox obstacle at the Trail Clinic last Wednesday.

In addition to clinics with Missy Ransehausen and Melissa Hunsberger, and dressage lessons with Kristin Severson, we've been working on preparing for the 4-H County Round-Up next month. This past Wednesday, three of our riders participated in a Trail Clinic at Knight's Landing, and tomorrow, we're heading to South Branch Farms for some tips for improving their performance in the hunter and equitation classes.

We have lots of fun things on our agenda for next month, so check out our events page to see what's happening both on and off the farm.
