Doesn't this happen every summer - we feel like it flew past in a flash! We had a lot of fun this summer and I'm grateful to all my riders for coming to me for riding lessons. Some of you have been regulars for awhile now, while others were here to try something new. It's been energizing and challenging for me, and my horses look pretty happy too!
Some of you young people will be starting high school this year, and meeting new people. There's a good chance you could meet somebody who shares your favourite horse! As a few of my riders discovered, I know A LOT of people around here, so don't be surprised if the kid beside you in math class has a picture of a speckled horse in his or her locker!
I'm looking to hearing about your back to school adventures when you're here for your next ride.
Soon we'll be settling into a fall schedule, but in the meantime, keep in mind that the New Hamburg Fall Fair is holding four Western classes this year! This will take place on Saturday 14th at about 1:00pm. I won't be competing, but I will be there helping out. Please come watch the show and come say hi to me! The more spectators, the more likely to have a bigger better show next year.

If anybody has pictures you'd like to see here, you can email me the pictures and I'll put them up. I'm working on a wall of pictures in the tack room too, so keep me in mind if you're getting prints done.
