Well, welcome everyone to our new Barn Blog for news and events!

This Barn Blog will contain all the barn news and any news that you forward to me to include. 

Website:  If you want your pictures on our website, please email them to us and we will pick some to put on the website.  Also, for updates to be sent right to you, please give us your email!

Show: Our next Schooling Show is Nov. 30 with Christmas theme. Chelsea Johnston, Deanna and their elves will be decorating the jumps with candy cane stripes and Christmas trees.  We will be handing out free wrapping paper and Christmas cards too!  There are prizes for all placings and a choice of prize for first place too. Classes include the regular flat, hunter over fences, and equitation classes, as well as a jumping ride a fiver, regular ride a fiver, a puissance, and other games.  Check out the great food that Shiralee is going to be cooking up too.

Clinics: Birthe Schuman McKeon was just here, and LIndy Towlney will be coming soon to do an Equitation clinic.  Shannon will also be doing a massage clinic and pizza night.

New Arrivals: Noah, a Westphalian cross Eventer arrived from Calgary last night, so welcome to Dominique and Noah.  We also have a new lesson horse, who is very very sweet. His name is Likely, and thanks to Michelle for thinking of Crescent when her horse needed a new home and a new job!

Congratulations:  Congrats to all the girls for doing so well this summer. Ges won a Championship at Twin Oaks against 40 people, not too bad for a Dressage horse.  Maxine also scooped up many Championships over the summer and will have to attend the year end BCHJA Banquet to take home her winnings. Perhaps they might have some video of Deanna at the Banquet as well….airs above and into the ground!  Let me know your results and I will post them too.

Contratulations to Shannon and Troy on the purchase of their first house.  The barn girls want to do a sleep over, ok with you?

We should also say congrats and well done to all the coaches that completed their certification this summer, so well done to Debbie, Shannon, Thea, and Clara.

Barn Construction: As  you have noticed, in addition to the three nice new paddocks, we have four more with new footing and drainage, and new drainage on that part of the track. Thanks Dave and Ella!  We also have water where we want it, and the water feature fountain in Shed Row B that we did not want, turned off!  That means the wash rack by Main Barn is now operational again too.  The new footing in the indoor is getting a good workout now that the rainy season is here, and the first load of hog is in the outdoor. The weather is so nice I am sure we will be making use of it.

Barn Staffing:  Chelsea Johnston and Julia Clarke are now the Weekend Managers, on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Well, see you soon!

Sue.
