Memorial Day weekend we hosted a riding club from Lumberton and enjoyed having them with us. The weekend was packed with the riding club and then Bob Jeffreys &amp; Suzanne Sheppard Trail riding clinic at our main facility. My head was spinning. After the clinic was over they began shooting with Soundhoof Media, Gary and Teresa Dikin, a video series, "How to Travel Safe and Smart", The Horse Lover's Guide. Look for series information on the RFD Channel or visit bobjeffreys.com. Another trail clinic will be held in October. I am anxious to see our place in the video.<br /><br />We have had our first camp group and I am thankful to have that over with. The first trip is always the hardest. Trying to clear the cobwebs and refresh my memory with the safety talk, get the trail line up straight and keeping everyone safe. You would think after 10 years that it would not be a problem.<br /><br />"Annie" and "Dan" are our newest additions to the herd. Cute as buttons but a bit of a headache. We have a long road ahead of us with those two. They have come from a troubled past but one that can be overcome with love and patience. I look forward to watching them grow.<br /><br />Drought like conditions continue and the fire hazard is never far from my mind. I hope that we can get some soaking rains soon. I thought we were going to get that this afternoon, but it barely settled the dust. Hard on our hay production, maybe second cutting will be more fruitful.<br /><br />Hope to have you with us soon and thank you for all of your inquires.<br /><br />Happy trails,<br />CatherineCatherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16710116782080866500noreply@blogger.com
