Just a reminder that teams can collect food kits and donations to the Waukesha County Food Pantry until the events this Saturday at 6.

On to the Olympics!
Haley and Heather enjoying the IASPHA show at Fields and Fences
Wow! What a weekend!
Scott, Carol, and Eric got home around midnight after a fabulous show at FASH! Our first time riders at that level, Ainsley and Margaret, turned in convincing and winning performances their first time out, and our ‘veterans’ of the show ring shone as well. For the second year in a row, Deb won her five gaited pleasure championship at FASH, and Kerri and Cliff and Ashley and Castle were champion and reserve in the adult show pleasure championship. Hailey and Aida have been working hard all winter together, and are now a team to watch in the junior exhibitor gaited division. Stephanie and Molly won the adult country pleasure championship, and the western ladies, Toni and Susan rocked their division, too. Lexie, Kellin, and Allison turned in some great equitation rides, and Eric had a blast showing Daisy in park pleasure.
Open House 2012
We’ve had sunnier Saturdays this spring, but there were sunny smiles all around as Knollwood hosted its spring open house last weekend!
Visitors were able to take tours from our instructors and friends, and watch lessons going on in the arena. Because of the rain last week, ALL the lessons were inside, so visitors had a chance to see the arena rocking with academy lessons, show lessons, and trainers working horses!
At 1:30 pm, guests were treated to exhibitions of academy riders Haley and Heather, followed by show horses, including WGC Aphrodite’s Tears. Scott rode an exciting demo on this beautiful and expressive representative of the breed!
Margaret, Forest, and a friend
