Beautiful day for Barn Buddies. Lots of grooming and giving treats to the birthday boy, Tyger. He made everyone aware that it was his birthday.

Tyger Norway loves getting extra attention from students. He was so content being groomed by Chandra and Winnie! He thinks he deserves a full grooming team all the time!

Happy Birthday to all the ponies! Tradition to celebrate on Jan 1!

From a parent when asked "Why do you pay so much money for your children to ride horses?" Well I have a confession to make, I don't pay for my children to ride horses. So, if I am not paying for them to ride, what am I paying for? - for my children to learn to be disciplined. ... - for my children to learn to take care of their body. - for my children to learn to work with others and to be good team mates. - for my children to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get the place they wanted, but still have to work hard. - for my children to learn to make and work towards goals. - for my children to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a champion, and that success does not happen overnight. - for the opportunity my children have and will have to make life-long friendships. - for my children to be in the arena instead of in front of a screen... ...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for riding lessons, I pay for the opportunities that riding provides my children with to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!
