too fast!


I absolutely cannot believe Its August already.....were did this year go?It seems like it was just last september and I was starting a new session with my new students!Too fast I tell yah... Too fast! Six weeks seems like forever!I cannot wait to get back, but I know the horses need a well deserved break.


Last weekend we had our anual fun day horse show at REINS.Its kind of bittersweet for us because it marks the end of the session but it also alows us to show how much our students have progressed throughout the year.Its sad for me because I know I wont be seeing my kids again for 6 weeks until we start again in September .







This year we decided to do something a little bit different with a few of our horses. Uusally we just use a templet that we have to decorate the horses with glitter and glue.This year we decided we were going to paint the horses with finger paints as well as use the glitter and glue.It was so much fun to see the girls get creative in decorating the horses!

It was an amazing two days!Students acomplished goals, like riding completely independant for the first time ever and then getting a blue ribbon on top of it,bonds of friendships were strenghthened, and many, many wonderful memories were created.
