ORHA Grand Finale at Blacks

Well the show season has ended and it was a success! Gary and ML Shine My Checks finished out the year in 4th for Green Horse....This was Checks first year showing and he missed approximately 4 shows this year....What a great job by both horse and rider. We received many compliments on the hard work and dedication that this pair demonstrated over the summer months.

Genuine Oso and I ended our show season early at Fletcher's Horse World....with having missed several shows over the summer due to prior commitments, we still were able to finish in the top 10! Considering Genuine Oso has been in retirement for 7, yes that's right, 7 years! and it was my first year in reining, we made an outstanding team. Genuine Oso has the ability to touch my heart...he was so good for me...However, he is back in retirement and enjoying trail rides and the life he had become used to....

It was a great year and we look forward to next show season...it seems so far away, but there is a lot of work to do. Gary is bringing along our 2 year old and getting our yearling ready to go into training in her 2 year old year....

We will still keep blogging any updates and announcements and we hope everyone has a happy and safe winter...burrrr

ORHA London Fair

We have just returned from the London Fair where the OBBO Futurity Show was held. It was a very busy few days. Harvey and Molly Stevens did an incredible job putting this show together.

Without sounding like a broken record, I do have to take this opportunity to congratulate ML Shine My Checks and owners, Mane Lane Quarter Horses. "Checks" arrived at the show with a very competitive attitude. Despite all the noise and commotion that is typically associated with large fairs, Checks was all business. At the end of this season Checks will be returning home to stand at stud to inside mares.

Training

It has been a very busy summer and it has flown by. We have finished our new outdoor sand ring (100' x 200') and we will continue to make more upgrades to the property. We have had a lot of horses through this year and met many new clients. We wish everyone continued success and hope you will keep in touch. Keep in mind Gary will do private sessions for $60.00 if you find you are in need of some extra help.

We are now booked until November 1, 2009. If you would like to book your horse in for November or December please contact us and submit a deposit to reserve your space. Keep in mind, due to increase in operating costs, our prices will go up to $800.00 per month effective January 1, 2010. If you are interested in booking your horse for showing purposes, please contact us as rates are separate.

Have a great long weekend.

Kerri, Gary, Jenna & Kendra
