Equine Kingdom Riding School's New Location
|
We completed the relocation to 5016 Groometown Road, Greensboro, NC,
on November 10, 2009. The property is adjacent to the
Seasonal Comfort building, so look for
the sign on the way in.
November 1, 2009 It has been a lot of work getting the place ready, but the location
and facilities will be good for everyone. Someday I will have our own property and a permanent
home for my horse riding lessons and his dog training school (and maybe kennels), but for now we
have to make the best of the situation. The owners of these facilities (Seasonal Comfort) have graciously
offered to renovate the barn, while the conditioning of the grounds is up to us. It will be a tight
schedule, but we will be ready to move the horses on November 10th. Thanks for your understanding
and willingness to make the move with me.
Sincerely - Sally
March 23, 2010 Lessons and training has ensued at Equine Kingdom now for nearly 5 1/2
months. We've added two new members to the herd, Snickers and Ginger. Both of them are in
training and used in lessons. Mystique has begun teaching lessons again as well, which puts
Equine Kingdom at 6 lesson horses! All the horses have survived a harsh winter, albeit having
lost a few pounds, but are well on their way to being fat and sassy again with new grass growing
in. The pasture has been split up to make several new pastures, to make rotation possible. The
newly finished riding arena has served its purpose well - other than being perpetually mushy and
muddy from November to the beginning March, due to all the rain and snow!

it.
