Off the Beaten Track..I mean Breed. A Rescue Story

Posted in Day to Day on 24.05.10

As most of you know, I love my Saddlebreds!  An exception has been made for Tiny, a rescued Percheron.

I would like to welcome Tiny/Buddy to the lesson program at the Blue Ridge. Tiny was rescued from an idiot who did not feed him, trim his feet, or take general care of him. He has gained an enormous amount of weight since his arrival but is still in need of some serious groceries.  Philip and I rode Buddy for the first time this weekend and he did wonderful! I am glad Tiny is in a safe place with people who love him. Please welcome Tiny to the Blue Ridge!

Summer Time, Summer Time, Sum Sum Summer Time

Posted in Day to Day on 22.05.10

It is here you beautiful Blue Ridge Students! Summer Time!

Time to switch to the summer lesson schedule.  Starting the first week of June, we will move to a Tuesday-Friday schedule.  Lessons start at 8:00AM which sounds early but much cooler in the heat of the summer.  We try to take our last lesson at 1:00.  I promise the earlier the better! If you have not scheduled your new lesson time, please give me a call or email.  Times are on a first come first serve basis.  Also, please send me any vacation schedules so I can do make up lessons during that time slot.

I look forward to this summer! Happy Riding, Vicki
