by Mary Gallagher

(Copied from our February 2017 Newsletter. -MG)

Our usual schedule of classes and arena use will stay basically the same, and is being updated on the Calendar page on the website as I type. You can save yourself a phone call by checking there first. Of course, I am happy to answer questions about upcoming events, and get your RSVPs for classes.

Note: The Hoof Beats kids have had great success at the Bainbridge Island Saddle Club's schooling shows.  These shows are close by, affordable and have proven to be a great way for both kids and horses to get used to being in the show ring.  More 2017 dates will be added to the calendar once they are announced. These are one day shows and have classes available for all levels.  Advanced riders will be available to coach riders who are just starting out.
