The cold wind and rain at Southern Pines Horse Trials didn’t stop CWF riders from having great runs this weekend. Austin Skeens piloted What Gives around the gelding’s first Preliminary event in the pouring rain to great success. Jillian Dean and Kingcarra Cooley Diamond completed their first event together, finishing 8th in the Modified. Clare Brady claimed 2nd in the Junior Training on Rhythm and Blues, finishing the event on their dressage score 💃 Gloria Huber and Namiro Star had an educational outing as they learn to know one another.
We’ll be back in just a few weeks for Carolina International. Fingers crossed for better weather next time around!
Clare Brady and Rhythm & Blues jumping to second place, the only rider in Junior Training to go double clear:

Is the cold weather stealing your motivation? Do you and your horse need a little bit of fun and a change of pace?

Join us on February 5th at the brand new NOVA Equestrian Center - NEC in Aldie, VA for a fun-filled Pop-Up gymnastics clinic. If you haven't joined us at Champagne Wishes Farm before, my gymnastics exercises are a bit different from your regular grid clinics. Over the last 25 years, I have developed exercises for clinics conducted for indoor rings and designed to keep you and your horse sharp and ready for the Spring! Exercises include:
· Trot grids
· Canter exercises
· Turning questions
· Bounces
· Narrows
· Corners

A combination of some or all of these exercises is used to educate green horses, challenge competitive horses, and confirm the techniques and skills of advanced horses. The goal of the clinic is for both horse and rider to have fun, learn something new, and leave with a positive experience.

Sessions will be 1 hour and limited to 3 horses unless otherwise requested by riders.

The Clinic fee is $115.00 per horse/rider and includes the ring fee. Please bring Coggins and sign a release when you arrive.

To schedule please contact Paul Ebersole at [email protected]

I’m looking forward to seeing you all.

Paul

Kicked off 2020 in style with a successful weekend at Southern Pines Horse Trials with our sweet new shirts! If you’d like to order one, send us a message.
The back features a list of “Paul-isms:”

1. I can run faster than that.
2. Just *flaps hand nonchalantly* jump this one well.
3. Why can’t you always ride like that?
4. Row, and row again.
5. Dude, oh my God, no.
6. ALWAYS HAVE YOUR RUNNING GEAR!
7. THAT wasn’t my favorite (turn, jump, etc.) ever....
8. I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that.
9. Okay... do it again.
10. Where’s the tailgate?
