Hello!
Summer is here with a vengeance. In this extreme heat it is vital that our horses and ponies stay on a schedule (exercise and feed). Please let us know if you are going out of town so we can keep your animals healthy. We will continue to monitor our hours for riding times to ensure the health and safety of our horses/ponies, riders and staff. Remember to bring water!!! Please tell your children to speak up if they are overheating.
Thank you to everyone who participated in camp this year. We always have fun with camp! Hope those that attended had fun and learned a thing or two.
