As we wound down to a lower gear late in the fall, the horses earned some well deserved time off . Some of our students were lucky enough to get their first horses, a process that we were happy to be a part of. We found Johanna a lovely little Halflinger mare named Serena, who is well versed with her Natural Horemanship games. The two of them hit it off right away, and it was worth the drive to go and see her. Serena's previous owner was thrilled to have her go to a N.H. home. Marissa fell in love with a beautiful black Canadian mare Fancy, who had no previous N.H. experience, but is one of those been there done that horses. It was so exciting to go through the process of helping these girls find their perfect partners. The girls continue to have Kate coaching them with their own horses.
In December, it was time to get out in the community and start promoting our Spring 2010 Program. What beter way than to enter the parade in Barry's Bay, where we decorated the truck in a western theme. Trinket, Phoenix and Minuet joined in the parade with their riders too. Our efforts won us an honorable mention and a nice little cheque. We had so much fun that we decided to enter the parade in Killaloe too.
January 15th we attended the morning session of a playday at Tabitha's, and went home very inspired. They day was so perfect we came home and played with our horses in the afternoon!
As the winter progresses, things are fairly quiet here on the farm. Kate and Marie continue to see clients in the valley and beyond, and are quite happy with the temperatures as they have been reasonable. But, Oh the things we will be able to do when we get an indoor arena!
