Dear Loretta,  
Looking back over the last 2 years I see how my students have learned and grown.  It is very rewarding for me to see them taking their horsemanship skills to the next level.

I have also been looking at this business the same way.  What started as a small venture has turned into 30+ lessons and training each week. With a rather large waiting list.  And I'm still the only employee! :O)  You may be noticing some barn helpers around, and if YOU are a potential helper, please let me know!  There is always mucking to be done and tack to clean.  Some of my herd can't be ridden now and still need to be groomed and handled on the ground.  Learning opportunities abound!

Stay tuned for information about my front jumping pasture turning into a bluestone ring, and (this is very exciting) the possibility of a covered arena and additional barn.

I look forward to many happy trails this fall!


Sincerely,
Loretta Arey

Daylight Savings Time
Will your lesson be affected?

On Novembger 7, 2010 we will again change the clocks.  This will greatly limit the amount of daylight that we have to work with.  I am planning on giving lessons a few nights a week at Frying Pan Park in Herndon.   If YOUR lesson is at a time that daylight will affect, it please let me know if you are interested in going to Frying Pan.  I am offering this option to current students.  If openings remain available I will offer them to my waitiing list.  I currently have 20+ people interested in my program, so if you want to do this, please let  me know ASAP. I anticipate all openings will fill quickly.

New Rules

In order to comply with insurance regulations there are new rules in effect immediately.

All students MUST wear boots or shoes with a heel to ride.  If they do not wear a heel the lesson will be conducted on the ground.

Anyone entering the barn area must wear closed toe shoes.  NO sandals.

Unfortunately we can no longer have dogs on the property.  If you enjoy bringing your dog, please leave him outside of the fenceline while you walk your child in. You are welcome to take the dog for a walk in the neighborhood if he remains on a leash.

Helmets must be worn at all times.  Children will wear helmets upon entering the barn area and adults will wear them upon entering the arena.

I need to have emergency medical information on file for  all students.  I will be alerting you if I do not have one on file for you.

I need all parents to sign a release of liability for themselves.  Most of you enjoy coming into the barn and chatting for a few minutes.  This is a nice time to review how your child is doing.  However, this puts you at risk since you are in an area with horses.  Anyone coming in through the gate needs to have a release on file with me.  That means siblings, friends, nannies, etc....if it is easier, then I can walk your child to the gate and we can chat there.





Upcoming Openings

Sat., Oct. 2 @ 3pm
Sun., Oct 3 @ 10:30am & 3:30pm

These are available due to vacationing students.  They will go quickly, so if you'd lke a lesson then, please let me know ASAP.

Thursdays @3pm
