Blue Ribbon show this weekend!
Now that the Az National AQHA Show is over, we are getting ready for some fun at Blue Ribbon this weekend!
Hope to see you all this Sunday at Westworld in Scottsdale for some a great day showing in the gorgeous January Arizona weather! It's supposed to be cool and sunny, so bring a hat and cheer your friends on! We have several riders going to the show. Come by and say hi!
Light Rein has openings for Lessons and Training, there's only a limited # of stalls though, so give me a call @ 480-215-7103 to talk about lesson and training packages. Our new facility is beautiful! You and your horse will LOVE it!
The last week of the year....
Well, this year has flown by!
We are now in our new barn and settled. Lessons happening on a regular basis and getting geared up for the 2012 show season. The first show of the year is January 5th- the Arizona National Horse Show at Westworld.
Start the new year off right and make sure your memberships are all up to date for 2012. AzQHA, AQHA, NSBA and any clubs you have joined like EVAHA too! Your points won't count if you haven't paid your dues!
I just found a great new app for AQHA- they've created an app so you can have your rulebook on your smart phone! It's available for Android and for iPhones/pads. It makes looking up the rules really easy and it's FREE! You can always download the PDF of the rulebook to your computer, but the app option makes this so convenient! Check it out.
Here's to a healthy and happy New Year and one filled with achieving all the goals you've set!
Getting settled
It's been a very busy month since moving all the horses to our new barn- The Rocking J Ranch! We're still in Gilbert, so it's still close for everyone.
Things are getting done at a fast pace! What a nice place with a very positive vibe. Everyone seems to be very happy and the horses are loving the turnouts and big stalls. Thanks to Jayne and Scott for opening up this beautiful place to us!
Time to plan the Christmas trail ride and party now, just as soon as the Blue Ribbon Show at Westworld in Scottsdale, is over... Looks like we'll be taking 3 or 4 horses there. Should be fun!
I had been hoping to get pictures posted from our fun show in November at Roberts Ranch, haven't got all the pics in yet. Soon I hope.
Spent some time with Ket at the Goldmine Show at Horseshoe Park, in Queen Creek, during the big storm on Saturday. He did great in the crowded warm up ring in the covered arena, during the rain. He's such a good colt. I am looking forward to getting to show him.
We will post pictures of the new place soon and get our website updated, too.
Whew the holidays are coming fast!
