Schedule for 8/14 Show with CHJA Prep Classics

Please check this schedule carefully. Because of pony finals, we do not expect to have any pony hunters. We have moved them to the sand ring to eliminate delay on the hunt course. Again, we do not expect this division to run. We expect to start with the pleasures as usual.

The hunt course will begin with the Children's Hunter Horses at 3'. You may jump your classic round with any division. You will see a "First Round Classic" option with each division. The entry fee is $40 and you are not required to show in any other classes.

The classics are designed to prepare horses and riders for the CHJA finals and will feature similar courses. See the class descriptions HERE

The Children's Equitation has moved to the hunt course to make it eligible for the classic.

SCHEDULE AUGUST 14

Free to a good home

UPDATE 7/16/11: We have found a home for Felix. Thank you Deb Krawitz of Bouncing Pony Farm!

 

Felix is a 10 year old 16.2hh dark brown OTTB gelding. He is big, attractive, willing and comfortable. He has been in training since November 2011 and can walk/trot/canter on the bit. His gaits are extremely comfortable and he has a super canter. We acquired him to be a 3' eq horse/hunter but a track injury prevents him from staying sound at that height. He is sound on the flat and can jump small jumps, x-rails are ok. Because of his gaits and presence, we think he could make a lovely lower-level dressage horse. He has fluid in his right front fetlock but has been sound until we began to jump 2'9 courses. Unfortunately we cannot keep him and would like to give him away to a good home. He is still green but quiet and benefits greatly from turnout, even if it's a small paddock.

Come see him at the Pines. Call Paula 860.338.1789 or email pinesfarm@hotmail.com
