Happy New Year Raynham Riders!

I hope everyone is looking forward to an awesome day tomorrow!   Riders are welcome (and encouraged!) to come for as much of the day as possible – you can learn a ton from watching other riders!   Please remember you should mount up 15 min early to allow your horse time to loosen up and to warm up slightly before your lesson.   Don't forget lunch is included, tomorrow we are having pizza!  If you would like to run through a dressage test, please learn test 1 for your level.  Here are the links:

Holiday Schooling Show & Team Try-outs - Friday, January 4th

Hey Raynham Riders,

We are having our Holiday Schooling show the evening of Friday, January 5th.  As always, schooling shows are open to ALL Raynham Stables students.  Our schooling shows are low-stress, a great learning opportunity as well as a ton of fun!   Instead of having a concession stand, we thought we could do a pot-luck again like last year, which was delicious!

For those hoping to compete in 2019, please indicate "Show Team" in the "Questions?" box on the entry form.  Please also fill out a show team application and submit by January 5th.

I hope everyone spotted the date change on the lesson board - I apologise for any inconvenience! If you are hoping to try out for show team and are unable to make the new date - don't worry! Just send us your show team application and we will have a make-up date for try-outs.

In case the weather is chilly, we are going to run using our winter format again this year. Riders will complete a dressage flat class then an equitation over-fences round.  This way, all the classes will last approx. 1 hour so riders don't have to wait around all day in the cold!
