Summer Jumping Program

Kudos to the riders who participated in riding programs this week.  The focus for most of the riders was jumping and despite the heat, as you can see in these terrific pictures, it was a successful program!

 Several days the riders came early to get their rides in before the oppressive heat.  And, as you can also see, there are cooling strategies for horses (and riders and instructors)!



Riders and visitors should also take a peek in the barn for the progress being made on several fronts.  The wash stall is about half done and the television is finally in the boarder's tack room and we have a VCR attached.  Karrie was able to show the riders some great video of her jumping in events and we are hoping to start using some video instruction in the more experienced rider lessons. 

We are hoping our introductory three day riding program will have a little less heat this coming week but just as much fun!
