Well, I've decided to jump on the blogging band wagon! All kinds of wonderful new goings on in the horsey world for me. Close Up Show Stables has a new (and hopefully permanent) spot at Hundred Acre Wood in Easton. HAW is a full service FEI training facility owned and operated by Charish Campbell, FEI rider and trainer. HAW is home to a wonderful team of horses and riders and I am thrilled to join the team!
Charish is a wealth of knowledge on so many levels and I've noticed my riding change in great ways! I've also been working with her on myofascial release with my horses and loving the results!
I've started working with a lovely RPSI mare, Gilda- owned by Charish. She's a lovely little mare and truly an 'everybody's' horse. She excels already in her flat work and likes jumping equally as much. I can't wait to see her grow and develop and eventually find her own person (although I won't be disappointed if she sticks around for a while)!
HAW is slowly building their training and consignment clientele and I look forward to having more horses to ride and compete.
As for ponies:
Gandy is coming back into work slowly after a rough fall of several abscesses.....the worst one has almost all the way grown out and he's keeping a regular shoe on so that's good news!
Tango, my newest(long lost) addition, is also going slowly back into work after some time off. He's an awesome little horse and after 4 years of working with him on and off I'm thrilled to finally call him my own. We'll be working towards the jumper ring this year.
Nicki Girl is leased for the summer to a great kid in PA under the training of John Muldoon And will be showing on the rated circuit while the child works towards a riding scholarship for college!
Logan is leased out to a childhood friend of mine and is loving his life as a low level/family horse. We may even see him at a couple shows this year!
And now it's time to take my devoted barn pup Macey out for a walk!
