🚒 A BIG THANK YOU! 🚒

Huge thank you to the Gerald-Rosebud Fire Protection District for coming out to water our arena! We’re incredibly grateful for their continued support and willingness to help us keep our grounds in the best shape possible for our horses and riders. 🐴❤️

⚠️ A little arena maintenance heads-up: Later this week, the arena will need to be temporarily closed to riding so Christian can get in there and disc it before the rock picker arrives. The exact day will be weather dependent, so we’ll keep everyone posted!
Discing will loosen and turn the ground so the rock picker can get down into the footing and pull out rocks that have worked their way to the surface. Getting those rocks out will help us continue working toward safer, smoother and more consistent footing for our horses and riders. It’s definitely a process, but every round of work makes a difference! 🙌🏼

A huge thank you to Christian too!

We’ll post as soon as we know which day the arena will be closed!
