Quick summer time update as we have had a very busy July so far! We started off at the Caber Farm One-Days on July 5th and 6th. We were able to take several new pairs to this show and trick a few more kids into falling in love with Eventing. All the kids and horses handled the "go-with-the-flow" attitude and all navigated confident stadium and cross country courses.
On July 7th-13th we headed out to the Clackamas County Fairgrounds to tackle a week long 4-H Horse Fair. Andy and I as superintendents (with the help of so many others) organized over 150 kids across 1000 class entries! Those that have been to Fair understand how truly wild this week is. It seems as though no Fair is complete without bad tears, good tears, a little sleep deprivation, sunscreen, sweating, and a whole lot of laughter, and nonetheless the 24 Carrots 4-H Club absolutely rocked every second of it. Whether it was watching the kids accomplish a goal, or come up with a game plan for the future, it is so nice to watch these kids develop the determination to continue to "Make the Best, Better".
We did another ultra quick turnaround to unpack and re-pack the trailer to load up 4 horses and head out on July 15th, at 4:00am, to the absolutely stunning Kalispell Montana for "The Event" at Rebecca Farms. This was our first time at this show and it did not disappoint, the property and courses were just as magical as they were made out to be. We even were able to bring home some team and individual ribbons!
