Merry Christmas 🎄 one more time. Just a few snapshots from our 8th Annual Barn Christmas party. In spite of the rain we all enjoyed the drill team, the caroling, good food and good cheer. Thank you all for being part of our barn family! ❤️🐴

We braved the rain 🌧️ (thank goodness it just drizzled and no winds today), had hot tea to keep warm, and dealt with wet obstacle arena….. making this Halloween Fun Show one for the books! 👻🎃
Every single rider improved significantly from last show! 👏

I will post more pictures of different phases later. So just some teasers from when they got ready.

When sudden wind bursts and strong rains make a ridden lesson unsafe…. We do in-hand work, creating a trusting partnership between horse and handler, changing the horses from being anxious and on high alert, into relaxed and happy animals ❤️

All set up to ride between rain drops on Sunday for Halloween Show 👻 ☔️
Fingers crossed rain will be light enough. Otherwise plan B has to shape up to keep everything in covered arena.
