It's Fall now - new things going on at the farm

So what's happening at the farm this fall? Two things: tack cleaning and getting ready for the weather. I like this time of year.  There aren't as many flies, we're not sweating as much as we did all summer, and the horses, just starting to get thicker coats, are soft and velvety.  Most mornings, when I let them into the pasture, there's a soft pink light from the sunrise and mist across the distance.  It's really beautiful.

TACK CLEANING DAY - alright kids, come on out to my place and let's roll up our sleeves and get to work.  I am pretty sure there will be a lot of giggling and talking, hopefully within all those girly noise we'll get some stuff cleaned nicely.  If you haven't had the tack cleaning lesson, we'll catch you up.  

DAY AND TIME - Saturday October 19 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm

COST - Nothing, zip, zero, no money changes hands.  We're all helping each other out, so we have clean safe tack to use for our rides and have a good little visit together while we're at it.

Give me a call or an email so I know how many buckets and sponges we'll need.  

SPECIAL FALL LESSONS

This seasons brings changes. Sometimes for the 5:00 lesson I'm wearing a Tshirt, but at my 7:00 lesson I'm in a hoodie and windbreaker.  And now we're riding under the floodlights.

It feels too early to start talking about winter clothes but some of us (me) will be needing something warm soon.  This year, rather than taking a few minutes here and there to discuss winter riding, I'd like to designate a few lessons specifically for that topic.  

Bring your warm outdoor clothing, everything you've got - gloves, boots, undershirts and long johns, hats.  If you've got actual riding clothes bring them.  If you've got something that isn't meant for riding, bring it and let's see if it's suitable.  Maybe you've got hockey gear that might work.  We'll take a look at what I have and recommend.  We'll see what works and what doesn't, and be ready for the cold when it hits!

WINTER CLOTHES LESSONS

Please contact me to let me know if you can join me.  (If you can't do either of those times we might arrange another one.)

FARM DAYS - as long as the weather is reasonably pleasant, I'm open to holding a few more Farm Days.  This could be a fun way to spend a PA day.  

Looking forward to seeing you!
