No open ride tomorrow, Thursday December 11. Too much snow. So here’s a picture of some of the best polo horses in the world, taken Sunday in Buenos Aires.

Snowflake scheduled for December 13 will be December 20, in hopes of having more friendly weather.

Good morning everyone! *READ ENTIRE POST*

While we can not please everyone, we certainly try, and while this IS the snowflake series and we expect cold-this weekend is a bit of a whiplash where the weather outside is frightful. It's Iowa. We know it could change in 5 min. and we are bound to face cold temps in our series. HOWEVER...

Sondra with Prairie Rose Arena has graciously offered for us to bump our show to NEXT Saturday, December 20th where the forecast is looking to be much more merry and bright.

We understand any disappointment as this time of year weekend plans fill fast and this may put a wrench in things, but the welfare of the horses and all our friends as they haul in is of the utmost importance to us. Highs in the teens with high percentage of likely snow is not making us feel too jolly.

We hope to see you on DECEMBER 20th with that Christmas cheer!

Thank you all for your grace and understanding!

Be sure to get your Christmas Sweaters ready, because registration for our favorite show of the series is OPEN TOMORROW!

While there have been recent concerns and cancelations with outbreaks in the South, we want to reassure our competitors that we are following guidelines from our very trusted veterinary resources and moving forward with hosting our events with confidence and care.

While we expect our fellow equestrians to ALWAYS use good judgement and put responsible care into practice, it's an excellent time to refresh on these things if you haven't already.

As with ANY illness, people OR horse-if there is any sign or you are not comfortable, stay home! We'll catch ya at the next one!

Don't share water buckets, keep horses from greeting strangers, and avoid petting noses that don't belong to you.

We look forward to continuing our series and strive to keep this a welcoming, safe, and HEALTHY atmosphere for all.

See you on the 13th! We can't wait to enjoy friends, fellowship, and good festive FUN!
