Hylee Training News – July 2020

aliciaharper

Hey Everyone, 


I hope everyone is staying dry in this wet weather we have been having:) I know we have been working hard at keeping everything here dry. We do have a bit of news here to share with you this month.


Hunter Show

While we just couldn’t get the numbers for over fences show and the flat show was too wet . Assuming its going to dry out a little bit for August – we have decided to go ahead and schedule a schooling show for Aug 2nd which is a Sunday.

Aug 2, 2020 Schooling Show Details


The schooling show is really meant as an entry show. It’s specifically designed for those who are new to showing or getting back into showing .There is also a division for walk/trot and walk/jog for both kids and adults. We have hired a Learner Judge who will be coming with her mentor. This will be an educational opportunity for everyone. You can find the class list here. The entry fee is $20 per division. Lesson students who need a lesson horse will be charged $25 horse rental fee.

Lesson Horses

Obviously, we have limited lesson horses, therefore, the sooner you sign up the better. As a result, of our entries being limited to 30 maximum early sign up is best. Sign up can be made by messaging the page, Alicia, or letting us during your regular lesson time.

Dress Requirements

English riders will be required to wear a helmet, paddock boots, half chaps and breeches. No jackets are required. For Western riders, you will need jeans/chaps, western style boots and either a helmet or a cowboy hat.  In other words, workmanlike attire is preferred and full show attire not required.

Riding Level
For my current lesson students, riders should be consistently walk and trotting or jogging independently off the lunge line to participate. Therefore, riders will be spending the next few weeks preparing for the classes for the show in their lesons. Do not be discouraged if you do not know what all the classes mean:)


Besides the show, at this time we will not be putting on any camps this summer, However, our cow days will be resuming soon. We’ve got the hydro pole and and all the materials to get the power to the barn (and a massive heater) so this winter we should be toasty.


Look forward to seeing you all this month.

SOLD – Robyn – WB/Pinto Gelding

aliciaharper

Robyn is an 8 year old Warmblood Pinto gelding standing 14.1 h. Robyn has previously been lightly evented and is bold to the fences.  He looks for a one on one relationship with his rider and was previously owner by a junior rider.

Robyn ties, lunges, bathes etc.. all very well. UTD on all. Robyn is currently barefoot. Robyn is a willing partner ready to take on the world with a junior or adult amateur rider. He has not been ridden hard thus, the good mind and little wear and tear.

SOLD: Mak – WB Percheron Gelding

aliciaharper

Mak is a 6 year old Percheron/Oldenburg cross gelding standing an amazing 18.2 hh. He has had 60 days training with a solid walk/trot. Albeit still green, shows promise in his willingness. He is an in your pocket type and loves attention.  He ties, catches, lunges well and is UTD on feet, worming and vaccines. He has been very well taken care of. He does best in a situation with ample amount of turnout, due to his size.

Mak is offered for sale due to no fault of his own but his size and level of training makes him unsuitable for his beginner owner.

SOLD: Tofino – 6 yr old Warmblood

aliciaharper

Tofino is a sweatheart of a gelding standing at 16.2h you wouldn’t know it with his puppy dog personality. Tofino is brave on the ground and easy to work with. Lunges like a dream and works off the voice easily.

Undersaddle Tofino is easy to navigate, responsive and has his flying changes. He has been jumped up to 2’6″ and done a couple of schooling shows.

The one negative I can think about Tofino is his injury, he has previously injured his SI and at the time it was realized in April 2017 it was injected.  We have had him for the past year and have simply used monthly massage treatments to manage and he has not had one off step.

Has been used in lesson string but would like riders that are a bit more brave then what we have here at this time.

  • UTD Feet, Tetanus
  • Does not require shoes
  • Currently in group paddock situation
  • Does well in pasture
  • Does not require grain on 24/7 hay
  • Has previously been used in lessons for intermediate riders

Asking 2000 obo
