Ace is Moving! (And more fun things...)

Ace has made some huge strides (and his stride is indeed huge) in recovery. Aside from gaining weight like a champ (especially with his newly-done teeth) and moving around much more energetically on his newly done feet, he's starting to shed out his dry, dull coat and is looking for something to do. You might even say that he is downright bored in quarantine right now. And we all know a bored horse is trouble! Since he is declaring in every way that he is ready to go, he will be moving to the Hidden K Stables barn sometime this week. Shortly upon arrival, he will also be gelded, and then the slow and steady process of conditioning and ground training is going to ramp up for him!

We have some high aspirations for this big guy - hoping we can have him responsive on the ground with lovely manners and see if he will accept a saddle and bridle (no riding yet) in the next 4-6 weeks. If you're out by the barn we do ask that you give him some time before coming to visit, since he will need to transition to yet another place (he has been through a lot) with a lot of new horses and his own gelding. We will let you know when we think he's up for visitors! If you'd like to sponsor his training, please let us know - we would love your help.

On an equally fun note, our next big fundraiser is scheduled for October 23rd at the Hidden K Stables facility! We will be hosting a Fall Festival and Open House. The list of good things is a mile long, and we are having a ton of fun planning it, so we know you'll have a ton of fun if you bring your family out and support our cause (or just wear your Halloween Costume early and maybe get a prize)! We'll be gathering from 2-6 PM, and we will be offering up a Demonstration Show including jumping, cross-country, western, dressage and quadrille riders! On top of that we'll have yummy chicken stew and home-made pies! We're even giggling a little as we come up with the games to play, and it's looking like we're going to have hay rides and a haunted trail! (And if you want to volunteer, please drop us a line!).

So Happy Trails for now, and more updates to come!
