A quick heads up to let you know the Cavaliere class scheduled for this weekend has been cancelled, and another class added at the end of the cycle on November 24th. The new schedule is:

Class 2: November 10th
Class 3: November 17th
Class 4 & assessments: November 24th

If you have already registered for October 27th you will be given a credit for the next class in the series. If these dates don't work for you, you can contact the front desk to arrange a different credit.

Open Barn & Work Party

However, there will still be things happening at the barn this Sunday. It's time for the horses to start coming in at night, so we need to put new stall mats in and prep the barn for them. We also need to dig a trench for the elecrictal cable so we can install our awesome new arena lighting, and finish up some fencing and hotwire repair in the paddocks. All hands are very welcome!

We'll also be holding Open Barn, for those of you with at least Riding level 1 who don't want to let those riding muscles fall out of use. Or, if you simply want to groom and spend time with horses that option's available too. Open Barn is free, and the cost to ride a school horse is only $10. You can't get a ride that cheap anywhere else!

So come on down, spend a bit of time in the saddle, and some more with a shovel in the crisp autumn air any time after noon and before dark on Sunday October 27th.
