A Year in Review - Part II

And more of 2011!

It was a pleasure to welcome new boarders Fran Jenkel and her lovely Missouri Fox Trotter Baby Girl, along with Jill Stone, new owner of Fancy and Beethoven.  Fancy has been giving people lessons for years, just a nice trusty mount to have.  Beethoven is a Desert Bred arabian gelding who charms everyone he meets.

Carl and LaVon Bowlin's Quarter Horse mare had a gorgeous colt this year, by the DB Arabian stallion DB Ibn Huda.  They've named him Ibn Alfahl Huda and call him Sulaymann.  LaVon says he's purrrrrfect - perfect personality, perfect color, perfect in every way :).

2011 also saw the opening of our new Cross Country Course!

And 2011 was full of days hanging out with your friends, such as this outing to beautiful Pere Marquette.  Gorgeous!
