Whew … September was certainly busy! While we were disappointed to not be able to make the trip to Kentucky for the American Eventing Championships, it gave us more time to prepare for the East Coast Young Event Horse Championships at the Virginia Horse Center in October. Several of our horses also moved up a level this month, with both Excel Star Time to Shine (owned by the Dare to Dream Team) and Excel Star Tick Tock (owned by Courtney and Neal) making the big move up to Preliminary.
We also want to make sure that we give a proper shoutout to our students and sales program alumni who have been rocking and rolling this fall. We LOVE seeing everyone out there enjoying their horses. Be sure to stay in touch via email, phone, Facebook or Instagram!
