BARN NEWS
During the next couple months we plan on two upgrades; putting a 4’ rubber lining on the inside wall of the round pen (to cushion potential hoof bumps) and a replacement of the outside ménage fencing that is crumbling in places. We will keep you all posted when any impending work will be done.

Fieldstone Barn Picnic and Horse "Games Day"
Didn't happen last year, but we will definitely schedule it for early summer this year!
WELCOME
While most all have seen Chris Trinks back at the barn, we officially welcome her back with her horse Gosse.
Also, a welcome to the New Year! Hard to believe that 2011 flew by so fast. We hope all have a successful and fun “horsey” year ahead. The up side to not much rain, not much mud and good weather for riding!
HORSE LOVER'S QUOTES
From 1884 (not P.C. today!)
“It cannot be too strongly impressed upon riding teachers that in every riding school where ladies are to be taught, there should be at least one lady assistant. A gentleman can give all of the necessary instructions about the management of the horse and the handling of the reins better than most ladies; but in giving the idea of a correct seat and the proper disposal of the limbs, the presence of a lady instructor becomes necessary; in these matters she can instruct her own sex much better than a man can.”
~ The American Horseman
“My horse’s jockey was hitting the horse. The horse turns around and says, ‘Why are you hitting me, there is nobody behind us!’”
