Dear Hoofbeaters,

A special thank you goes out to Holly Oliver who provided the venue for the June show. It was great to see so many new and old faces at the show. As you all know, Jaye Tatone was at the show taking photographs, they are now available on her website. (Address and pricing listed below.) Thank you to all of those who make the show such a success. Us Hoofbeaters would not be able to do what we can without the help of our parents, children, grand children, coaches, friends, volunteers, and of course, our horses. 

-Nicole

 

Special Condolences:

On Saturday July 17 one of our beloved companions, Riley, had to sadly be put down. The Hoofbeats Dressage Club extends our sincere condolences to Trina Lusse and her family. Riley and Trina had a special bond, and it is clear that their bond continued to build, even in Riley’s time of sickness. Trina and her family are exceptional horse owners, and Riley was an exceptional horse. The pasture will not be the same without the grace of Riley, he will be missed dearly. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Lusse family.

All I Learned In Life, I Learned From My Horse

Author Unknown, Chicken Soup for the Horse Lovers Soul

When in doubt, run far, far away.

You can never have too many treats.

Passing gas in public is nothing to be ashamed of.

New shoes are an absolute necessity every 6 weeks.

Ignore cues, they are just a prompt to do more work.

Everyone loves a good, slobbery, wet kiss.

Never run when you can jog. Never jog when you can walk. And never walk when you can stand still.

Heaven is eating for at least 10 hours a day... and then sleeping the rest.

Eat plenty of roughage.

Great legs, and a nice rear will get you anywhere. Big, brown eyes help too.

When you wan your way, stomp hard on the nearest foot.

Act dumb when faced with a task you don`t want to do.

Follow the herd. That way, you can't be singled out to take the blame.

A swift kick in the butt will get anyone's attention.

Love those who love you back, especially if they have something good to eat
