11/23/09 What an amazing weekend with Thomas Ritter. Our clinic was better than ever for all
riders. We couldn't be more proud of our students who did so well, and learned so much! Ben
and Andrea found a great connection, with Thomas' help Ben started to developing a much
more uphill carriage, and was absolutely amazing, they even had a few steps of Piaffe!
Needless to say we cannot wait until he returns in the spring!















10/25/09 Congratulations are in order for Kailey Gehl, and the Gehl Family who are now the
new owners of Sunnie. Sunnie and Kailey have a bright future in Dressage ahead of them and
we are quite excited to see them grow together! Pictures of the two of them coming soon!







10/4/09- A busy summer has made it hard to find time to update our website. We have had a
very successful show season with our riders representing themselves and their horses
extremely well. We are happy to see that everyone's hard work and dedication really shines
when we are out and about in the horse community, and are extremely happy that our riders
have great sportsmanship and are wonderful examples of fine horsepeople. We still have a
couple more shows to finish out the year and another clinic with Dr. Thomas Ritter, which is
always something to look forward to! Please check back for more news, hopefully we will be
able to post about our riders and horses more often! Below are some pictures from the 2009 show
season!

We all endured a long, 13 hour day in the heat but it was well worth it. Maddie and Munch
made their debut together coming away with a 3rd in Hunter Under Saddle, and a 2nd in
Equitation. Munch was solid as ever, you have never guessed he hadn't been in a show in 4
years, and Maddie rode him beautifully, I am very proud of them and look forward to seeing
them grow together over the summer.  Lori, Kristin and Tommy Dee were also extremely
successful. Lori and Tommy had 2nd in showmanship, Kristin and Tommy had a 3rd in
Showmanship. Lori also received two 4th places in Western Pleasure, and a 1st in
