Thank you painting volunteers!!!

Posted on July 26, 2010 at 2:23 PM

I can not thank enough the 2 volunteers that showed up on Saturday and the 8 on Sunday in that scorching heat to help us paint jumps.You are all AWESOME!!! We got a lot of big jumps done and they definitely take the longest. Heinrich was thrilled with what was accomplished at the end of the weekend. We can not thank you all enough for your help!!!!!!!!!!((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))


 

On another side note please remember that the park is closed from Thursday through to Monday this week for the Knights in Armour. The event does not happen until Saturday to Monday but they have a lot of set up and tents to organize so they are taking over the park on Thursday and Friday as well. No Horses please! But come on out and watch the mayhem. It will be a blast!!!!!


 

We also noticed on the weekend that in the sun there were ZERO mosquitoes and with some squiter spray I received only one bite while in the trails. My exchange student got three but I think she might have tasted better.


 

And we also noticed the the water in the water jump has gone down another couple of inches. By the time the Knights are finished their weekend the water jump will be PERFECT to jump through. It has a little bit of a drag that most of our horses are not used to due to it being a few inches higher than normal at the moment.

 

And we are still looking for people to advertise in our Labour Day Event program. We have had some excellent sponsors come through and the prize list looks amazing but I need a few more small advertisers to help pay for the program costs and this will then contribute to prize money for our winners. Remember that we are allowing advertising for horses for sale now. If you want some more info on this please email me! Every little bit helps.


 

Have a wonderful summer week everyone!!!!!!!!
