Spring Schooling Show - Saturday, April 28th!

We are having our Spring Schooling Show April 28th!  All of our riding school students are welcome to participate and we are offering levels from Walk-Trot to Pre-Training (3' courses).  This schooling show is a mandatory full-dress event for the show team riders. All of the details are available on the website as well as registration.

Even if you do not feel ready to participate at this show, feel free to come out, watch and cheer on your fellow riders.  We will have a BBQ and (yes, I know it's late) Easter Egg Hunt!

We hope to see you there!

Session Five: April 29th - June 24th

Just a reminder that the new session begins on April 29th.  Session fees are due by the first class in the session.  If you are looking to book classes, we take new students at any time! Please contact us via email, and we would be happy to set something up!

Show Team Clinic: April 21st, 4:00 - 6:30pm

Hello Show Team Riders,

The Show Team Clinic is mandatory for all team members an will be taking place this Saturday, April 21st, 4 - 6:30pm.   The clinic will include a general meeting going over what to expect at a show, which shows you've received and how to fill out entry forms, etc.  Riders will also rotate through stations with Sr. show members leading on how to braid, how to clean and pack your tack and how to show groom your horse.  Parents of junior show team members will also receive instruction on how to assist your child at the shows.

We are also going to tie in the tack-swap meet so if riders have anything they want to sell/trade, feel free to bring it in.  We can also set up a table at our April 28th Schooling Show if riders have more items they wish to sell.

See you there!

Session Four: Feb 27th - April 28th

Hello Raynham Riders!  Just a reminder that session four began on Monday so if you have not yet submitted your lesson fees, please do so as soon as possible.  


If you took session three off, we'd love to see you back in the saddle! Email Nikki to book classes.


Just a note on lesson packages, please remember that you are only entitled to the package rate if you pay for the full 8 or 16 lessons AND payment is received by the second class in the session.  You cannot deduct a lesson from the package if you know you are going to be away.  If you know in advance that you are going to miss a regular class during the session, just email Nikki.  There are many options for make-up classes.  If you do not wish to do a make-up lesson, then you must pay the per-lesson rate for your classes that session.  

See you in the barn!
