11/25 New jumps and other goodies! ![]() I'm very excited to announce lots of new additions to the farm! The girls and I have been flexing our carpentry muscles, and we have several new jumps to show for it! We've recently completed a new Prelim/Intermediate corner, which is proving quite tricky. This week, we finished a Training/Prelim toothbrush, which is very exciting as these fences are becoming increasingly popular on upper level courses. And we are lucky enough to have one to school! Also completed is a "skyscraper" jump for Novice and a "barn" for Novice/Training. The Goodwins did an amazing job in building a Novice corner, which is really exceptional for introducing the younger horses to the concept. We're thrilled to have it, and it looks FANTASTIC! Our footing supplier has assured me that we will have footing in our new dressage arena this week, which I am thrilled about! This will give us a competition PVC 20x40 meter dressage arena to school. We're currently hard at work building cross ties in the shed adjacent to the upper barn. It should be a fantastic addition! We now have a total of 26 cross country jumps... Amazing! We're working our way towards having full courses for next year and our goal of having a schooling horse trial in June! We'll keep you posted! 2006-11-26 06:17:49 GMT

Who's the rider in the pix? Looks like Alex, so Ali or Lindsey?

Lindsey on Alex. I believe the photo was taken by Austin at Midsouth PC Horse Trials in June.

I can't wait until Monte and I will be able to come visit the farm again. So many new jumps, I'm so excited! I'll have to fill Monte in, and won't he be happy to hear the "fun" plans Megan has put in my head lol.

BTW, Mike is an AMAZING carpenter! The novice corner looks great! It's just challenging enough, and really makes you RIDE!
