Our Versatile Arabians!
It seems like last month highlighted the incredible versatility
of the Arabian Horse. We started the month with an ETI show in
Thousand Oaks and our horses placed well competing with the
other breeds in all divisions; Hunter Pleasure, Western Pleasure,
Halter, and even Jumping! We did well and enjoyed our long day
there together. It was a wonderful schooling opportunity for the
Fall Fantasy Show.
A week later we were invited to ride in the Ahmanson
Conservancy. We took every horse from the barn but the baby
and even had to borrow a horse! We ended the perfect weather
and gorgeous scenery as we cantered through the oak-filled hills
and valleys. If you have never ridden in Ahmanson, you are
missing out on one of the valley's treasures. This property is as
peaceful as it is beautiful and a few minutes from the gate you
see nothing but nature. You are all invited to join us sometime!
As a treat for the young Summer Camp Staff, we planned a
trip to the beach! There is only one week out of the year when
the beach in Carpinteria is accessible and all of the beaches in
Santa Barbara county have been closed to horses. We were
fortunate enough that week, the perfect "tide-day" fell on a
school holiday. Julia Broome took her mare Coco and Hannah
brought her Half-Arabian, Angel for a spectacular day of
cantering on the beach and wading in the water.
Whether our horses are in the show ring, on the trail, running
the barrels, or experiencing new adventures with their kids, our
horses prove every day the incredible depth, intelligence, and
versatility of the Arabian Horse!
