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,

Early Bird registration is now open for our summer camp program.  You may sign up for as many weeks as you like at a substantial savings.  Each day includes two riding lessons plus lots of fun activities learning about and playing with our wonderful horses and ponies.   There are several specialty camps available – including Pony Play Camp for 4-6 year olds, a Just Jump camp for those who wish to jump more and an introduction to eventing camp.  Click on the links below for dates and check out talbotrun.com for an application.  Space is limited to 15 riders per session – don’t miss out on your favorite weeks.:)

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.
