Recognizing people's desire to get their equine(s) away from home
and exposed to new situations and surroundings, we have opened our
ranch for schooling.
You have the opportunity to work on crossing the
creek that runs through our property, ride or drive various areas
of the ranch including permanent driving event hazards and ridden cross-country fences,
and perhaps to even expose them to possible "monsters" such as cattle and other
animals, as well as tractors and other types of equipment. You will
need to be aware of the cut-off dates after which you can no longer
school on the courses prior to an event you will be participating in.
In addition to these "open schooling" opportunities where you
can pick any date that meets your needs, we also offer "scheduled
schooling days" for groups. These schooling days offer the
additional advantages of multiple horses being on the grounds, use
of regulation dressage rings, an Cones/Obstacle course, flagged Marathon Hazards, etc.
Check our calendar dates we have scheduled. You may also schedule a group schooling
or camp of your own.
2008 approved events and schooling cut-off dates:
- The May Horse Trial ~ April 20
- The June Combined Driving Event ~ May 18
- The September Driving Trials-Twice! ~ August 10 (We have a Rule Modification from ADS for those participating in the August 23 MMMM.
If you wish to school after the cut-off date for a particular
event, you may be able to, but you will then be required to enter and compete
at that event as "HC"
