Several of us enjoyed a very informative discussion and demo on Arena Obstacles yesterday. It was a beautiful evening for this event! Thank you, Mary Van Derveer for sharing your knowledge with us!

For anyone interested in arena obstacles, we will keep a few set up in one of the dressage courts for members to practice. We plan to include a very basic course in our August 22nd schooling show for anyone who would like to learn more!

Just a reminder that our Intro to Arena Obstacles Demo is this Wednesday, June 17th, at 6:30. Mary Van Derveer will be heading up the demo. Please meet at the dressage courts at 6:30, and feel free to bring a chair and snack/beverage of your choice to enjoy while learning about arena obstacles! We look forward to seeing some of you there!

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all are enjoying the hot, sunny days and staying warm & dry on these cool, rainy days! Crazy spring weather! At least the shedding season is over 🙂

We had a great turn out for the Working Equitation & Open Dressage Show on Saturday, May 23rd. Special thank you to all who helped make it possible. It was not only fun, but a great learning opportunity for both working equitation and dressage testing with the ability to ride a test and the option for a re-ride. Check out our pictures on Facebook! We have another Working Equitation & Open Dressage Show scheduled for Saturday, August 22nd, so save the date!

WE at HP is canceled tonight!

Mother Nature doesn’t want us to have an intro to working Equitation…

Thunderstorms and horses are a bad combo…

She does want you all to just come on Saturday and DO IT!!!

The weather looks great and entries are too! If you are thinking about entering, be brave and come play🙂
