August 13th, 2025 show was a splish splash success!

🌧️ That's a Wrap! ☀️
Despite Mother Nature’s indecisive mood swings, we made it through—with soggy boots, sun-chasing dreams, and a whole lot of heart. Thank you all for your incredible flexibility, warm smiles, and go-with-the-flow spirit. You turned a weather rollercoaster into a celebration of community and resilience.

🎟️ Scratch Fee Raffle
To those who had to scratch due to the unpredictable weather -please plan a field trip day to come and school at the farm at no cost and know your names are going into a raffle for a free entry at our next show. It’s our way of showing you we understand your reasoning.

📊 Results Are Live!
You can now view the results online—go check out your scores at www.heatherridgefarm.org.

🌧️ About Those Slick Rings…
We hear you. The rain hit harder and earlier than forecasted, and we sincerely apologize for the slick conditions and any impact on ride quality.

⏱️ Jump Time Feedback Needed
We’d love your input on how to make jump scheduling smoother. Our current approximation method hasn’t been ideal, and we want to improve. Would set time blocks by jump height help? For example:
BN Riders - Completion time by 11:00
N Riders - Completion time by 12:00
This might reduce flexibility but could help with clarity and timely results. Please share your thoughts—we’re listening.

🐎 Pasture Party Apology
To anyone whose afternoon ride was disrupted by the two jubilant old-timers who decided to celebrate their freedom with a pasture gallop—we’re truly sorry! Their enthusiasm got the best of them, and we’ll be more mindful next time. Freedom was clearly appreciated!

🚗 Safe Travels & Heartfelt Thanks
Thank you for choosing our series and spending your day with us. Your presence makes these events meaningful, and we’re honored to have you choose our Picnics and Ponies Series!

Our mission is to create a relaxing and focused environment for Horse and Rider to be partners and develop their horsemanship goals.

See you all soon! Travel safely! We keep telling Mother Nature she is very pretty and to stay north of us.

Good Saturday Competitors, Exciting show opportunities are closing soon on Wednesday, August 6th!

This show provides a focus on expanding Western Dressage opportunities and supports future Western Dressage Judges through an apprenticeship program, every ride counts!

🌟 HRF P&P August Entry Form Drops TONIGHT! 🌟

🤠 Hey Western Riders! 🤠

If you're torn between the HRF P&P Show and the USEF Western Lite Dressage Show this August — we say: GO TO THE USEF SHOW!

Why?

Because:
✅ It’s WDAA-recognized (points through Level 5!)
✅ It’s great prep for the World Show in Oklahoma!
✅ It supports growing demand for more USEF Western Dressage in our area!
✅ It helps upcoming judges gain valuable experience & helps apprentice reauirements!

💡 Bonus: HRF will count your USEF Western Lite Show as one of your three qualifying events for the HRF P&P Series!

Of course, we’d love to see you at both venues…but supporting events that accomplish many goals for all is a huge win!

A big question that keeps coming up for the USEF Lite Western Show is about memberships! Check out the flyer for your answers!
