The highlight of the day had to be the two costume classes we held. I was amazed at the creativity and ingenious ways everyone came up with to dress their horses too! I will be posting the class results from the Halloween Show this week. I believe that after all the hard work our students and competitors did to participate, the results really need to be posted for everyone to enjoy! Thank You, It's going to be an excellent November! Deb Ritchie ** P.S. Mark you calendars for November 27 and 28, 2010 and plan to attend the Susie Hutchison Riding clinic at RockMeadow. Susie is an awesome clinician, very insightful, kind and caring about the success of each and every participant. |
