Thankyou to everyone that enquired or passed on our details regarding our 2 agistment spots. Both filled.

Agistment at our Academy is ideal for someone wanting to further their horses knowledge and their own skill level with regular coaching. Agistment costs, temporary and permanent, for those that enquired: Weekly cost $60: Add labour which includes preparing feeds and feeding out 3 times a day, unrugging and rugging as weather dictates $77 ($11/day), hay currently $63/week, manure collection $20, if owners cannot attend for farrier, dentist, etc. $15 to bring in, hold and put back out, but no extra fees for use of indoor, lights, etc. Hard feed cost and supply worked out to suit owner.

Lots of enquiries in response to our post re agistment so more info for those that had queries: Re us: lots of info on our website www.academyofdressage.com.au - Re cost of training: Whether horse or human $90/hour private if paid in advance or $100/hour when paid singly. School horse lessons $135 with discount or $150 singly. Getting too long so agistment costs on separate post.

Open Weekend this weekend and thanks to Mandy Napier for having the place looking so spiffy. This road to the School Horse Paddock was one of today's projects.

Our wonderful Manager Laura Jane (riding School Horse Toolman) and Sarah (riding School Horse Solitaire), who didn't expect she was going on a rideout with Laura and Barrie today and then playing around with some Pas de Deux work with Barrie and Krug in the indoor on their return. Perfect weather.
