The start times also include what time each dividsion needs to be on their horse ready to warm up.

Here's everything you need to know:

• The SHOW OFFICE will be in the house office around the back of the farmhouse (by the chicken coop)
• Payment: Cash or cheque to the secretary on the morning of the show, or e-transfer.
• Attire: Just dress neatly and according to the weather!
• Spectators: Are more than welcome, but please stay out of the barns and tack-up area - it will be busy enough without extra bodies!
• Dogs: As much as we love dogs, please leave them at home as it will be busy!
• Food: We will have food available for purchase - coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water, pop, muffins, cookies, chips, chilli, hot dogs, and walking taco for lunch! Concessions will be CASH only.

Please let us know if you have any other questions! We are looking forward to a fun show on Saturday!

16th ANNUAL VOLUNTEER DAY - Sunday, May 18th

Hey Raynham Riders!


As always, we have tons of projects to tackle around the farm! Our 16th Annual Volunteer Day will run this SUNDAY from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, but you do not need to stay all day; any help is appreciated! We hope to see many Raynham riders out to lend a hand!


There will be jobs appropriate for students of all ages as well as parents (moms, dads, spouses - we’re looking at you!). Don’t worry, there are lots of jobs that do not require interacting with horses for those non-horsey-savvy family members!

Volunteers receive a raffle ticket for each hour contributed. At the end of the day, we will draw for TWO free private lessons! We have a few other raffle prizes as well! A BBQ lunch and refreshments will be provided for all volunteers as well!

If you have any gardening tools or general tools (weed eaters are always helpful!), please feel free to bring them.

THANK YOU!

Your Raynham Team

Spring Schooling Show Start Times!

 Hey Raynham Riders!

A huge thanks to Gabby for all her work putting the start times together. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bNFuuPOn8cWHuf2x5ehK5bi8kKm-zmNlu_Zpm_Z6w6M/edit?usp=sharing 

For the combined test divisions, riders should be in the warm-up 20 minutes prior to your dressage time, and 10 minutes before show jumping (since your horse will already be warmed up from dressage). For the equitation divisions (Grasshopper & Smurf), there are warm-up times included in the start times.

Here's everything you need to know:

• The SHOW OFFICE will be in the house office around the back of the farmhouse (by the chicken coop)
• Payment: Cash or cheque to the secretary on the morning of the show, or e-transfer.
• Attire: Show Team Riders should *ideally* dress/prepare their horse as if it were a regular off-property show (full show attire & braid). New show riders may not have all their show gear yet - that's totally fine, just dress neatly!
• Spectators: Are more than welcome, but please stay out of the barns and tack-up area - it will be busy enough without extra bodies!
• Dogs: As much as we love dogs, please leave them at home as it will be busy!
• Food: We will have food available for purchase - coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water, pop, muffins, cookies, chips, chilli, hot dogs, and walking taco for lunch! Concessions will be CASH only.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!  We are looking forward to a fun show on Saturday!

Wednesday April 2 - LESSONS CANCELLED

Hello everyone,

Freezing rain is forecasted again for tonight (isn't it supposed to be spring???), so to keep everyone safe, we have decided to cancel lessons this evening. 

Please keep an eye on your email for options for rescheduling!

Sunday March 30 - Lessons ARE Running!

Hey Raynham Riders,

Despite some freezing rain overnight, the barn seems to have escaped the worst of it! The driveway has been sanded and the grass is nice and soft, so we will be running lessons.

If conditions in your area are unsafe, please let us know! 

See you soon,

-Gabby

Wednesday February 19 - Some Lessons Cancelled, Please Read
