October 21st Speed show rescheduled to Sunday, October 29, 2023 at 10 a.m.
Hello Families and Friends
I know you will all understand when I tell you why we had to cancel our speed show. Our concern for your children and their horses comes first with us. With the little bit of rain we had this week our arena became too dry and so it would be dangerous to have horses sinking down in the soft clay while turning and racing for a ribbon. Not to mention how dangerous it would be for the rider. We were hoping to have a water truck come out yesterday and water the arena since the Well is still broken. A horse with a pulled tendon could mean a nice vet bill to pay and many weeks of recouperation. A hurt child would be worse.
We are rescheduling our show to Oct 29th at 10 AM. This is a Sunday not a Saturday, but I hope you can still make it. We will still have our Halloween class. We don't want the kids to miss out at that. It will start our show right after our salute to the American Flag.
Thank you for your understanding and I hope to see you all next Sunday
Love, and have a Blessed day,
Kathy Castronova, Speed Director
