Equestrian Center News

  Once again, boarders are preparing for the upcoming winter weather at the stables. Recently at our two barn clean-up days we were able to sand our stalls, grade the arenas, and weed eat around the center, make repairs and do general clean up at the facility.

   Thanks to Doug and Tami Lundberg, and many other volunteers, we now have a new telephone pole planter next to the entry gate into the stables. Telephone poles were cut to fit, thank you Ed Gribben and Andy Plantaz, placed, and filled with fill dirt and manure, of course, and planted by Doug. It’s a wonderful addition to the stables. If you would like to get a little fall planting inspiration you should stop by and check it out.  

   We recently had a wonderful Halloween celebration, horsy style, thanks to Stacy Soulis and crew. This has been an annual tradition at the stables for the last couple of years. We have a pot luck dinner, hot dogs, hamburgers, desserts and conduct horsy games for the kids and adults. There was a horse costume contest (it’s amazing what some of those horses will tolerate), human costume contest, gymkhana, candy scramble and wheel barrow races. It’s always a lot of fun. Thanks again, to Stacy for taking this on, I bet she won’t miss another barn meeting soon.
