Our open ride nights have been going awesome! Great people showing up with great horses! No drama, no judgement, just a whole lot of fun! Come on out tomorrow night from 4pm until sundown or however late everyone wants to stay. We will feed you! To that end, we will be making a few changes there. We've been charging $5 per person and serving Little Cesar's pizza, but we are going to bump it up to $10 and server REAL FOOD! Like BBQ chopped beef sandwiches or pulled pork wraps. Maybe some soups or chili as the weather turns cooler. The $10 is just to help offset the cost of the food and drinks. Also, be looking for a mini hay maze for the kiddos to play in, and hopefully a little barrel train to pull behind the four wheeler for littler guys to ride down the trail too. If anyone has any ideas for making out Wednesday night get togethers more family fun friendly, we'd love to hear them! Also, I am still hearing random comments about what days or times would work better for people, but noone has responded to the poll I put up on Facebook. If you'd very kindly go put in your preference, it would be easier for me to see where the majority of people would need it to be. Thank you!
Also, with Sugar and Rowdy going home this month, and Sticks moved to boarding status, we have several openings for winter training. So we are running a winter special, $500/month, that's $100 off! Now, I know it's easy to forget how irritating your horse is when you don't get to ride him much because the days are shorter, the weather less pleasant, and kids are in school and you are chasing football games, marching band competitions, and basketball soon. And I know it is easy to think it would be better to wait until next spring or summer to get that 2 year old started. But here's the thing... when next spring or summer hits, wouldn't you rather be riding?! So, let us work your guy or gal for the winter, getting it started or working out issues. So that next spring, your horse is ready to go, and all you have to do is step up in the stirrup and ride off into the wildflowers. We can handle a wide range of requests, barrels, western pleasure, trail, etc. Although our most requested is to have a good solid, dependable saddle horse to ride down the road on. I can teach your horse to have a rope swung off of him, to get into the box quietly and leave the box without a fuss, but we don't have access to cattle quite yet, and I'm really bad at throwing rope :) (I am trying to talk a buddy into giving me a few lessons :) ) We generally recommend that colts getting started stay with us for 60-90 days, to have a really good foundation and be going really well in and out of the arena, down the trail, etc. Horses with issues it is totally dependent on the issue and the horse, so harder to pinpoint a time frame on that without knowing the particulars. We are always happy to visit with you and discuss your horse and what you'd like it to be doing, so give us a call at 806-620-3207!
