December Lesson Schedule

No lessons the week of Christmas! Happy Holidays!!!

RIDGEFIELD ARENA SCHOOLING SHOW for all the lesson students will be scheduled after the first of the new year.     The show will be scheduled during your regular lesson times sometime in the first couple of months of the year.  This show is optional for all students.  It is a chance to get the experience of showing without the expense of leasing/owning a horse, trailering, etc.   More details will be forthcoming.

RIDGEFIELD CHRISTMAS PARTY

Join us at the lounge on Sunday December 14^th  from 10am until 1pm for our annual holiday bash!  As usual we will have fun, fellowship, food and of course our Silent Auction.  This year the proceeds from the auction will go to Circle of Concern.  Let us know if you would like to donate items or put together a basket.  Be sure to come and join the festivities as we watch the bidding unfold!   It is great fun.

Boarder Reminder

Blanketing!  If you plan on blanketing this winter, now is the time to start!!!   Blanketing now will prevent the wooly coat growth.  We recommend a light to mid weight turnout sheet.  Any heavier blankets can make the horses overheat in the barn.  Blanketing and removing blankets is not included in the board fee.  An additional fee will be charged if this is required.   Questions – see Stephanie or Annie!

BOARDER INFO

REMINDER:   You MUST have waivers signed if anyone else is to ride your horse.  Thank you.

Please make boarding and leasing checks payable to: Ridgefield Arena.
