I love these Challenges. They are so much fun. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. The practice session at the beginning of the day are a good, inexpensive way to find out if you would enjoy the full competition. The judges are always kind and supportive. Definitely a good way to spend the day with your horse. My horse seems to enjoy them also.

Hi Stacey,
Thank you for the Challenge schedule. I am getting back in saddle today after a 4 week hiatus thanks to complications from the flu. The students always bring back exciting viruses after Thanksgiving!
Let me know when Bonnie will work into your training schedule. I am in no hurry. If you want to wait until Feb or March when weather is more predictable(?) that is fine with me!
I hope you have a peaceful New Year celebration!

Stacey has taught me to do things with my horse Baby I never dreamed possible.
Not only is she an excellent teacher. She is very intuitive and quickly notices when I have reached my limit on accompolishing a difficult task or an obstacle.
She will ask to ride Baby and work with her ,since she speaks fluent equinese ,in a few minutes she has Baby doing the obstacle and I can watch and learn.
In a short time I’m able to perform the obstacle with confidence.
The Horsemanship Challenges at Allison Creek Farm are true challenges for every level of rider and I look forward to them every year.
Through my lessons with Stacey I’m improving my horsemanship skills and have developed an amazing partnership with my horse.
