Playing Catch Up
So much has been going on in our world, that this roving reporter just can't keep up! So let's get down to it, and start with the most recent first!
For those of you who aren't familiar with Desert Bred Arabians, the breeding program is affiliated with The Riding Center in Freeburg IL. This past weekend we hosted an Open House full of activities, and were so happy that so many were able to attend and braved the drizzly weather.
We had farrier demos (thank you Kevin Beck of Mustang Method Horseshoeing!), TRC Flex-Tree Saddlery with their tack on display. Mid Rivers Equine Hospital was there with their very cool mobile unit. And Sarah Sanders' students and assistant trainers performed riding demonstrations. It was a very successful day!
