APRIL NEWS

IS HERE, ALMOST!!


1. A HUGE THANK YOU TO PAULINE who took over barn chores when Crispy quit. Heather Lane, a graduate from Kemptville College, will be     starting on April 21st. Darcy will be starting this Friday until Heather arrives.

2. HUSTLER, HENRY, CD AND CHICAGO must wear the new Matisse pads. They are each worth over $200 so please make sure that they don’t end up on the ground!!!

3. THANKS TO SAM for raking the track every Sunday, and for Maddy for straightening up the feed room and tack room on Saturdays.

4. THE ELECTRIC FENCE HAS BEEN REPAIRED BEWARE! If you notice horses touching it and not being zapped, make sure to let me know!

5. CONGRATULATIONS TO CRAIG who won first place in the 3' jumper class at the last show. It was good to get the horses out and you all
did a good job despite the excitement!!!


6. HERE ARE A FEW OTHER IDEAS FOR ANYONE who is interested in working off their coaching fees at shows. The white fence posts need to be painted and hay bales will need to be stored upstairs for the winter. There is also weed eating to do (must be at least 16yrs of age!) Event Sponsorship Liz has committed to painting the show jumps and Natasha to flagging all the cross-country courses for the events.

7. MUD SEASON IS UPON US  Please start using the barn driveway. Parking might be difficult for a while. As soon as things are dry, Craig will work on the parking lot and drainage.


8. HORSES WILL BE ON “ROTATIONAL” TURNOUT so we can allow the paddocks to rest and grass to grow. I’m hoping to use only the 2 paddocks in front of the barn. There will be morning/afternoon and night shifts!
