Soon it will be spring…and summer……

Stay warm – we are in good shape – horses are watered and hayed – stalls are clean – but its still slippery on the driveway….we will let you know if we can not do lessons tomorrow,

Hope you are all safe at home – our driveway is going to take awhile to deice and I am hearing from our working students and instructor, and staff that they are stuck at home – so we have decided to be cautious and cancel all lessons today. We will plan to have one more week in this session (next Saturday) and extend the new session by a week.  If you can’t come next Saturday – we will figure out a makeup after Christmas (will have some opportunities during that week – Liane volunteered to teach in the early afternoon a couple of days if riders are available.).  We will have a shortened schedule next Saturday.  3:00 riders should plan to ride at 9, 2:00 riders, plan to ride at 10 and 1:00 riders plan to ride at 12.  We will have hot chocolate and holiday music.  Let us know if you can’t make it.  Again – thank you so much for all your flexibility – our main goal is to keep all including the horses safe.

With the icy mix predicted -we are canceling our lessons tomorrow from 8:30 til 10.  We are planning to start with the usual 11:00 lesson however as the change over to rain is unpredictable – please let us know if you can’t make it.  We will let you know if there are problems on our end.    Anyone in the 9 am. lesson is welcome to come at 3 pm.  There will be limited lesson spots in the pm. at 3 for our 10:00 riders – please text me or email and I will let you know if it will work  Otherwise – there are make-ups available on Wednesday at 4:30 and Friday at 4:30.  Working students – please come as early as you can – we will be starting barn work at 7:30.  Thank you for your flexibility in helping us keep everyone safe !  See you tomorrow!    Ann
