Exciting News!
Clipping/Grooming Clinic
Just in time before the show season gets started, we are planning a Clipping/Grooming Clinic with Tracy Yost on Saturday, March 14th at Blue Oak Farm in Clayton. Tracy has worked with a top Arabian trainer and is currently working with a well-known Miniature Horse trainer. Learn some of her tricks and techniques to make your horse shine in or out of the arena.
Schooling Show Series
This year, we are having a series of three schooling shows at the Equestrian Center of Walnut Creek at Heather Farm Park. Mark your calendars for April 4th, June 6th, and August 1st. There will be a High Point Award in each Division--Youth and Open--for the series, sponsored by Rich Erickson and Jacob Elliott of Double E Ranch.
More details about all of these exciting events will be available here soon.
