The Flintrock Show Saturday didn't turn out all that well '
Prissy came up lame after only two classes, and we're still not exactly sure
why! Mariah and Tootsie did a fantastic job, though, and got an honorable
mention ribbon at the end of the day for showing the best skill of all the
riders there, and Kendall placed third and fifth in the Walk Only classes. Great
job, you two! And for those that couldn't show because of Prissy's leg ' she's
doing better! I put anti-inflammatory medicine on it on Saturday and Sunday, and
she's trotting out much better now.>
Good news! There is a show coming up on October 6th
at the Piedmont Saddle Club! A lot of you have been there before. We'll be
taking Prissy and Dublin. This is not quite the 'schooling show' that the
Flintrock show was, but it still has some classes you guys can go in to get some
experience. The run times are from 9-6, and there are two different judges '
English and Western. There are some 'fun' classes in this show, too. Class
prices vary depending on what class you're going in, and for some of them, you
not only win a ribbon, but money! That's right, you can win back your entry fee
for the class, plus sometimes more! The Jamestown Rotary Horse Show is only
about a ten minute drive from Equine Kingdom Riding Academy ' so it's definitely do-able!
Some of you will be cantering in the show, if you so choose. Call or email me
and let me know if you want to show! >Other than those few bits, there isn't
much to report. Rocky, Dandy, and Enoch are being used in lessons now, so
they're rideable ' just ask if you want to ride one of them. Fundraiser cards
should be here any day now ' then I'll send out another newsletter with news
about those. If you want to make a donation, it has to go through me first '
Funds will not be given to USERL until the entire fundraiser is over, then we'll
send in a check for the amount for them, then use the rest for renovating and
building on Equine Kingdom Riding Academy. Any and all amounts you can give will be greatly
appreciated! Think of how much you'll be doing for the farm ' creating a better
environment for your children to ride in, for the horses! And helping the
abused, neglected horses at
www.ncerl.com .
>There will be Gift Certificates
available for riding lessons for those you love! I'm working on getting those
made and printed out. Parents, these are a great gift for your children! Also
fantastic for relatives, neighborhood kids, your childrens' friends, co-workers,
and so much more! Why, they're good for anyone, really! Take advantage of them
this holiday season! Get them early! Use them for birthdays, special occasions,
and more!
