Day after the show

10/27/2014

The weather was brutal! Cold, cloudy, and windy! And to most horses, that kind of weather is exactly what they hate...When you think of that, then the small shivering children on their back, well, in the words of one of my students mothers it makes you want to start "taking valium to these horse shows".

However, despite all of the odds that were against us, we had some beautiful performances. What blew me out of the water was watching my students continue to take my advice ("BREATHE! SHORTEN YOUR REINS! STEER HER TOWARDS THE WALL!") into account, even when there were ponies whipping around(Freckles galloping in field and bucking, Silky deciding the first canter steps of my student would be best experienced in the show ring) and children flying off everywhere... (ok, it wasn't that bad, but close...).

I will choose to remember all the ups of that day instead of the downs. Like how beautiful all of my students were warming up in the indoor, the excitment of showing, the supportiveness of their friends and family and smiles in the face of a scary situtation.

I just want to thank everyone for the oppertunity to learn grow and love!

Come out and watch our hunter jumper series finale this Sunday October 26! My students will be competing in the first two classes of the day (Lead line and walk-trot). Can't wait to watch them shine :) 

Freckles and Nitika went to a clinic last weekend with Gina smith and were superb. Freckles and I were working on his canter pirouettes and Nitika and I were working on straightness and rideability in the canter. It was especially momentous because it was Nitika's first time off property in a year (due to Young rider focus with Freckles) and because I trailered myself there and back without assistance.

This week I have reading week so I have some extra time for riding. I have been working on getting my passage and piaffe with Freckles and continuing my training with Nitika from the clinic. I love my horses!

Here's hoping for this nice weather to keep up for the show. Hope so see you all there! And a big thanks to all of you who have volunteered your time, the show wouldn't run without you!

Hay! Thanks for stopping by our website :) If you have any questions regarding our facilities/ lessons/ what goes on on our property feel free to call, email, text or facebook Erica Flak or Deborah Flak.

Recent Events:

We are looking forward to the building of our new barn that will attach to the other end of our huge, insulated arena and will add another 15-20 stalls! We will likely be leasing out some of these stalls and offering boarding in some and saving a couple for our horses for bad weather. Keep an eye out for construction. We also plan on adding solar panels on the roof to produce some more green energy.

We recently got 2 italian greyhound puppies and they will be having their first check-up! We will be taking them to a homeopathic vet.
