Noteworthy News! 

Hi All!
It has been a fast month since I last put a newsletter together!  The weather has been a constant challenge, the show season is gearing up, and I think all of us are ready for spring!

 

The Winning Edge Clinic

The Winning Edge Clinic had a great turn out!  We had 18 horses & riders in the clinic.  Everyone went away with more knowledge, learned a few things and something to work on!  The auditors were able to stay warm (for the most part) by sitting under the heaters.  Many thanks to Mark Jensen of Willow Creek Farm.  He did a great job!

Poormans Schooling Shows
You can now text your stall reservation to 253-208-3332

SATURDAY SHOW   Novice Horse Classes have become very popular! These are for TRUE BEGINNING horses! Novice Horse = Not to have won 3 - 1st’s at the beginning of the series in that class The horse can show the Novice Classes for the entire series even if they start winning during the series. BUT they cannot show the novice class(es) in all following series if they have won 3 blue ribbons in that class. This division has given those with true Novice Horses an opportunity to not only work their horse but possible win a high point award!

ALL NEW FOR SUNDAY!   I am loving the later start time!  9am is so much easier the 2nd day than 8am.  March 15th IS THE FINAL SHOW FOR THE SUNDAY SERIES.    You have to show at a minimum of 2 out of 3 shows; the final show is mandatory!  Click Here to check the standings
As a reminder of the schedule:
• The Equitation classes will all have patterns. These classes can now be ridden EITHER English or Western. The choice is yours.
• Green Horse & Green Rider Pleasure Classes are Offered
• Western Riding Classes added!
• Reining Class added!
