We've got one more
upcoming event on the docket: an exciting in-hand and long lining clinic with Claudio Oliveira, a gifted teacher joining us from Wellington, Florida. Claudio is "the guy" you call when your horse needs to learn to piaffe and passage, and we're thrilled to have him joining us November 14-15. We have limited availability for participants and for masked, socially-distanced auditors.
Sign up on Strider!
We've also got some friendly new faces. First, join me in welcoming our new working student Allie, who joins us from North Carolina by way of Germany, where she's been starting young horses. We're thrilled to have her on the team!
We're also excited to have a new horse for one of our own - Selene LHF, Assistant Trainer Karrigan's new three-year-old by Stedinger. Congratulations, Karrigan! I'm so excited to help you on your journey together.
As usual, we are open for trailer-in folks, in the afternoons and evenings as usual. Students will tack up at their trailer, and go straight to the arena, without going in the barn. And if your horse needs water or a bath, there's a hose outside.
We're also delighted with the response to our always-wildly-popular
Cavaletti Sundays! These fun lessons are suitable for all levels of education and experience, and are a fantastic complement to any dressage or event rider's typical training program. Assistant Trainer Karrigan will help challenge you and your horse while improving athletic performance, dexterity and strength. These fun lessons are every Sunday afternoon, and are PRIVATE lessons for only $45. Why pay more for less?
Email Karrigan to learn more.
As always, you can sign up for lessons on
TimeCenter. Anyone coming to ride needs to come alone - no spouses, children, or guests of any kind will be allowed on the property. In our indoor arena we obviously have the loudspeaker; if you're riding outside, we can call you on your cell and have you wear earbuds, or we can just shout.
Karrigan and I are also available for our hub lessons, including room for new locations. We will adhere to the same plan, in reverse: we will only go to the arena and not through your barn, we can use our phones instead of headsets, or if you've got an outdoor arena we can drive up next to, we can even teach from our cars!
If you will be joining us, or have us joining you, we ask that if you feel unwell, or have been exposed to someone sick, PLEASE cancel, and we're scrapping our 24-hour notice policy. We also accept Venmo and PayPal instead of checks or cash, to reduce exposure. Those links are below.

We are all confident that we can help you and your horses advance safely and responsibly, and look forward to seeing you!
