Riding Academy bids farewell to coaches Brandon and Kendal

From all of us at the Riding Academy we would like to wish Brandon a big farewell and good luck as he moves on to pursue his career as a chiropractor. He has made a big impression on many of our students, and we will miss him here! We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

We would also like to wish Kendal lots luck as she heads down south to compete in Florida with 4 horses! Kendal is working hard to qualify her horses for the Pan Am's and we hope to have her back in the spring with lots of ribbons and great stories. (And maybe a tan.)

Christine Curtin will be taking over both of their shifts and as sad as we are to see them go, we feel fortunate to have such a great replacement.

Joker's Hill Jumper Show

Shaken Not Stirred (Seven) and Fast Forward (Robin) both placed well this last weekend at the Joker's Hill Jumper Show with riders Aimee Longhurst and Clare Feldmen both bringing home ribbons.
