Good morning and congratulations to all my riding students entering a new grade this week! I wish you all the very best school year possible!
We had such a fabulous summer at Orchid Hill Stables; the weather was not overly hot and when we thought it was a bit too warm the afternoon showers came along to cool the kids and the horses. God really blessed us with a beautiful Florida summer.
I’m adding updates to our calendar at www.orchidhillstables.com this week, and by Friday you should be able to access all of the upcoming camps and horse shows for 2011/2012. Also check out the information I will be posting throughout the year on Orchid Hill Stables Facebook page. It would be great to receive photos of my students riding in horse shows, trail rides, or here at Orchid Hill Stables, as I’d love to share these pics with others who visit our Facebook page. If you want to keep updated on Harper Lynn and the fun things she and I are doing this year follow me, Sarah Holton, on Facebook.
We have not planned a trail ride for this fall, but please let me know if you would like to join us on an adventurous ride through the hammocks and prairies and let’s make a date!
The next horse show is October 29th & 30th in Clarcona. This is one of my favorite events of the year, as it is a very laid back fun Arabian horse show. The grounds are very nice and if you like to camp the RV hookups, are located next to the show arena and barns, giving you the fastest access to your classes. Reservations are still available to those wishing to enter this event with an Orchid Hill Stables lesson horse.
While the year will be filled with many events at Orchid Hill Stables, the biggest “happening” I’d like to share with all of you will take place around April 2, 2012. Harper Lynn will become a big sister! God is so good! Lawerence and I could not be more exited about welcoming another little one into our family. For those of you who were with me taking riding lessons while I was pregnant with Harper, you know that I don’t plan on slowing down too much. Yes, I sat a lot more and rode a lot less, but lesson plans went on un-interrupted, and so did spring break camp (which fell just over a week after Harper’s birth!
Life is truly an adventure, God has an amazing plan and I’m just exited to be a part of it! I’m so thankful that each of you has shared a part of our family’s lives through the activities at Orchid Hill Stables!
Love,
Miss Sarah, and Rio, Mr. Kool, Tony Pony, Buddy, Vic, Ali, & Missy
